Ephesians 2
1 At one time you were dead in your sins and evil actions,
Lwakutyo aliga mufuye mu bhikayo na mubhibhibhi bhyemwe.
2 living your lives according to the ways of the world, under the control of the devil, whose spirit is at work in those who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
Jaliga jilyati kala mwagendaga okulubhana no mwanya gwe chalo chinu. Mwaliga nimugenda kwo kulubha omutangasha wo bhuinga bhwa mulutumba. Gunu nigwo omwoyo gwae unu kakola emilimu mu bhana bhwo bhujabhi. (aiōn g165)
3 All of us were once like that, our behavior determined by the desires of our sinful human nature and our evil way of thinking. Like everyone else, in our nature we were children of anger.
Eswe bhona anu kubhwambilo aliga chili amwi mwa bhanu bhatekilishaga. Chaliga nichikumisha ogomubhili no obhwiganilisha bhweswe. Chaliga chili bhobhusimuka bha lisungu lwa bhanu bhandi.
4 But God in his generous mercy, because of the amazing love he had for us
Nawe Nyamuanga ni mwamfu we chigongo kulwelyenda lyae enene linu achendele eswe.
5 even while we were dead in our sins, has made us alive together with Christ. Trusting in him has saved you!
Omwanya gunu chaliga chili bhafu ku lwe bhikayo bhyeswe, achiletele amwi mubhulame bhuyaya munda ya Kristo. Ni kwe chigongo chakisibhwe.
6 He raised us up with Christ, and in Christ Jesus seated us with him in heaven,
Nyamuanga achisuluye amwi no kuchikola okwikala amwi mulwile munda ya Kristo Yesu.
7 so that in all eternity to come he could demonstrate the amazing extent of his grace in showing us kindness through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
Akolele kutya koleleki omwanya gunu oguja obhone okuchelesha obhunibhi bhunene ku lwe chigongo chae. Kacholesha eswe kwa injila yo bhufula bhwae munda ya Kristo Yesu. (aiōn g165)
8 For you've been saved by grace through trusting in him—it's not through yourselves, it's the gift of God!
Ku lwechigongo mwachunguhye ku lwelikisha. Na inu itasokele kwiswe. Ni chiyanwa cha Nyamuanga.
9 This has nothing to do with human effort, so don't be proud of yourselves.
Itakusokana mu bhikolwa. atajakubhao umwi mwimwe owokwikuya.
10 We're the product of what God does, created in Christ Jesus to do good, which God already planned that we should do.
Kulwokubha eswe chili milimu ja Nyamuanga, chimogelwe mu Kristo Yesu okukola ebhikolwa bhyo bhwana. Nibhikolwa bhinu Nyamuanga ateewo osoka kala ingulu yeswe, koleleki chilibhate mwago.
11 So you who are “foreigners” humanly-speaking, called “uncircumcised” by those who are “circumcised” (which is only a procedure carried out by human beings), you need to remember
Kulwejo mwichuke ati kala eyo yaliga mulibhanu bha manyamahanga ku lwa ingulu yo mubhili. Mubhilikilwa bhanu “bhanu mutatendele” kulwachinu echibhilikilwa okutenda kwo mubhili inu eikolwa kwa mabhoko go mwana munu.
12 that once you had no relationship to Christ. You were barred as foreigners from being citizens of Israel, strangers to the agreement God had promised. You had no hope and you lived in the world without God.
Kumwanya ogwo yaliga mwauhye na Kristo. Mwaliga mulibhagenyi ku bhanu bha Israel. Yaliga muli bhagenyi ku mulago. Aliga mutana bwiikanyo bhwo mwanya gunu gwajaga. Mwaliga mutana Nyamuanga muchalo.
13 But now, in Christ Jesus, you who were once a long way off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Nawe woli mu Yesu Kristo emwe bhanu kubhwambilo yaliga mulikula na Nyamuanga muletelwe yeyi ku lwa insagama ya Kristo.
14 Christ is our peace. Through his body he made the two into one, and broke down the separating wall of hostility that divided us,
Kulwokubha omwene niwe omulembe gweswe. Akolele bhabhili okubha umwi. Ku lwomubhili gwae anyamuye indugu yo kusololwa inu yaliga ichisololele, obhusoko.
15 freeing us from the law with its requirements and regulations. He did this so he could create in himself one new person out of the two and so make peace,
Mbe, asimagisishe ebhilagilo na katungilwe koleleki akole munu umwi munda yae. Nakola omulembe.
16 and completely reconcile both of them to God through the cross as if they were just one body, having destroyed our hostility towards each other.
Akolele kutya koleleki abhate amwi maijo gabhili ga bhanu bhabhwe mubhili gumwi ku Nyamuanga okulabhila omusabha. Ku lwo musalabha abhuselekele obhusoko.
17 He came and shared the good news of peace with those of you who were far away, and those who were nearby,
Yesu ejile no kulasha omulembe kwimwe emwe bhanu mwaliga mulikula no mulembe na bhanu bhaliga bhali yeyi.
18 because through him we both gain access to the Father through the same Spirit.
Kulwokubha kwa injila ya Yesu eswe bhona bhabhili chili no bhwanya ku Mwoyo umwi okwingila ku Lata. Kulwejo woli, emwe abhanu
19 That means you're no longer strangers and foreigners; you are fellow citizens of God's people and belong to God's family
bha bhanyamahanga mutali lindi bhagosoye na bhagenyilindi. Tali muli bhekasi amwi na bhanu mwauhye kulwainsonga ya Nyamuanga na bhakosi munyumba ya Nyamuanga.
20 that's being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone.
Mumbakilwe ingulu yo musingi gwa jintumwa na bhalagi. Kristo Yesu omwenene aliga alibhuyi ekulu lya kumbali.
21 In him the whole building is joined together, growing to form a holy temple for the Lord.
Ku mwene liyumba lyona lyumbakilwe no kubha kuti heyekalu munda ya Latabhugenyi.
22 You too are being built together in him as a place for God to live by the Spirit.
Ni munda ya emwe ona mumbakilwe amwi kuti lubhaju lwo kwikala ku Nyamuanga mu Mwoyo.
