< Ephesians 2 >
1 And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,
Ŵanyamwe kalakala mwaliji ŵawe mu utame wa mmbumu kwa ligongo lya ungaajitichisya Akunnungu ni sambi syenu.
2 Wherein, in times past ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the prince that ruleth in the aire, euen the spirite, that nowe worketh in the children of disobedience, (aiōn )
Katema ko mwatemi malinga ni wende wangalimate wa ŵandu ŵa chilambo chino. Mwampilikanichisye jwankulu jwa masoka ga machili jwa kwiunde, lisoka lyalikwatawala sambano ŵandu ŵangakwajitichisya Akunnungu. (aiōn )
3 Among whom we also had our conuersation in time past, in the lustes of our flesh, in fulfilling the will of the flesh, and of the minde, and were by nature the children of wrath, as well as others.
Kalakala, noweji twaliji mpela ŵelewo. Twatemi kwakukuya tama syangalumbana sitwapagwile nasyo ni kutendekanya yeila pe yakuinonyelesya iilu ni lunda lwetu. Kwa ligongo lya kulandana kwetu nkupagwa, twaŵajilwe kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu mpela ŵandu ŵane.
4 But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,
Nambo Akunnungu ali ŵa chanasa chachijinji, ŵatunonyele uweji kwa unonyelo wao wekulungwa,
5 Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,
namose patwaliji mpela tuwile mu utame wetu wa chimbumu, kwa ligongo lya sambi syetu, Akunnungu ŵatutesile ŵajumi pamo ni Kilisito. Kwayele tukulupwiswe kwa upile wa Akunnungu.
6 And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,
Kwa kulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito, Akunnungu atusyusisye pamo nawo kuti tukatawale pamo nawo kwinani.
7 That he might shewe in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace, through his kindnesse toward vs in Christ Iesus. (aiōn )
Ŵatesile yeleyo kuti alosye umbone wao wekulungwa wangaukupimika kwa iŵelesi yose ichiiche kwa litala lya unonyelo wakwe nkulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito. (aiōn )
8 For by grace are ye saued through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God,
Pakuŵa, kwa umbone wa Akunnungu, nkulupwiche kwa litala lya chikulupi. Chelecho ngachikutyochela kukwenu mwachinsyene nambo uli ntuuka wa Akunnungu.
9 Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.
Ngaŵa kwa ipanganyo yenu, kwayele mundu jwalijose akalikusya kwa chachili chose.
10 For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them.
Akunnungu atugumbile ni kuŵa ŵasambano, ni kwa kulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito, ŵatugumbile kuti tutame ni kupanganya yambone yaiŵichikwe chile ni Akunnungu tuipanganye.
11 Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and called vncircumcision of them, which are called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands,
Nipele nkumbuchile imwatite pakuŵa kalakala ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵankuŵilanjikwa ŵangaumbala ni Ŵayahudi ŵakuliŵilanga ŵaumbele, kwa ligongo lya chindu chachitendekwe ni ŵandu mu iilu yao.
12 That ye were, I say, at that time without Christ, and were alients from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the couenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world.
Kele katema ko mwaliji ngankwamanyilila Kilisito, ŵanyamwe mwasapulikwe kutyochela mu Ŵaisilaeli ŵaŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu. Mwaliji achalendo pasikati jao. Nganinkola chachili chose pa chilanga cha Akunnungu chiŵachilanjile kwa ŵandu ŵakwe ni mwatemi pachilambo pangali chilolelo ni kwamanyilila Akunnungu.
13 But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.
Nambo sambano, nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu, ŵanyamwe umwaliji kwakutalika kalakala, nli pachiŵandi kwa litala lya miasi ja Kilisito.
14 For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stoppe of the partition wall,
Pakuŵa Kilisito nsyene atujigalile chitendewele chakwatenda Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuŵa ŵamo. Kwa litala lya kuchityosya chiilu chao mpela sadaka, ŵautyosisye umagongo uwaliji nkwalekanganya mpela likumba pasikati jao.
15 In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Lawe of commandements which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twaine one newe man in himselfe, so making peace,
Ŵelewo ŵagatyosisye Malajisyo ga Chiyahudi pamo ni majiganyo gakwe kuti ŵaatende Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuŵa ŵamo nkulumbikana nawo, ni kwa kutenda yele ŵachiichenawo chitendewele.
16 And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby,
Kwa kuchityosya chiilu chakwe mpela sadaka pa nsalaba, Kilisito aujonasile umagongo wao. Kwa nsalaba ajitesile mipingo jiŵili jo kuŵa ŵamo ni kwajilanya ni Akunnungu.
17 And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.
Nipele, Kilisito ŵaiche kukulalichila Ngani Jambone ja chitendewele kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ŵandi kwakutalikangana ni Akunnungu ni kwa Ŵayahudi ŵaali chiŵandi ni Akunnungu.
18 For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.
Pakuŵa kutyochela ni aila yaitesile Kilisito, uweji wose, Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, tukukombola kwajaulila Atati kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jumo.
19 Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God,
Nipele chitandile sambano, ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nganimma achalendo sooni namose nganimma ŵakupita. Sambano ndi ŵandu ŵa nnango umo pamo ni ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, ni sooni ŵaali mu nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
20 And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Iesus Christ himselfe being the chiefe corner stone,
Iyoyo ŵanyamwe ntaŵikwe pa nsingi wauŵichikwe ni achinduna ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni Che Yesu Kilisito asyene lili luchanamila lwekulungwa lwakwimichila nyuumba.
21 In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.
Ŵelewo ni ŵakujilumbikanya nyuumba jose ni kujikusya mpaka jiŵe Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jajiswela jajityosyekwe kwa ligongo lya Ambuje.
22 In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.
Nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, nomwe ŵakwe nkutaŵikwa pamo ni ŵandu ŵane wose, mme pakutama pao Akunnungu kwa litala lya Mbumu jwakwe.
