< Ephesians 2 >
1 And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,
Lo kile lwa bo lo hutsitswe ke Modimo, lo atlholetswe loso lwa bosakhutleng ka ntlha ya dibe tsa lona.
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 )
Lo ne lo tsamaya le bontsintsi jwa batho mme lo ne lo tshwana fela le ba bangwe botlhe, lo tletse boleo, lo ikobela Satane, kgosana e kgolo ya nonofo ya loapi, e e dirang mo dipelong tsa ba ba kgatlhanong le Morena gone jaanong. (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.
Rotlhe re kile ra bo re ntse fela jaaka ba ntse, matshelo a rona a supa bosula jo bo mo go rona, re dira sengwe le sengwe sa boikepo se dikeletso tsa rona kgotsa megopolo ya rona e e bosula e neng e re gogela mo go sone. Re ne ra simolola ka bomaswe, re tsetswe ka ditlholego tse di bosula, ra bo ra nna mo bogaleng jwa Modimo fela jaaka mongwe le mongwe.
4 But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,
Mme Modimo o humile kutlwelo botlhoko thata; o re ratile thata,
5 Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,
mo e leng gore le fa re ne re sule mo moweng ebile re atlholetswe loso lwa bosakhutleng ka ntlha ya dibe tsa rona, o ne wa re busetsa matshelo a rona fa o tsosa Keresete mo baswing fela ka ntlha ya kutlwelo botlhoko ya One e e neng e sa re tshwanela, re ne ra bolokelwa ruri,
6 And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,
wa bo wa re ntsha mo lebitleng wa re tsenya mo kgalalelong mmogo le Keresete, kwa re nnang teng le ene mo mannong a segosi a selegodimo ka ntlha ya se Keresete Jesu a se dirileng.
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 )
Mme jaanong Modimo ka malatsi otlhe o ka re supegetsa e le dikai tsa ka fa bopelonomi jwa one jo bontle bo ntseng ka teng; jaaka go supiwa mo go tsotlhe tse o re di diretseng ka Jesu Keresete. (aiōn )
8 For by grace are ye saued through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God,
Ka ntlha ya bopelonomi jwa one lo bolokilwe ka go ikanya Keresete. Mme le e leng go ikanya ga se ga lona ka bo lona; le gone ke mpho e e tswang kwa Modimong.
9 Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.
Poloko ga se tuelo ya tshiamo e re e dirileng, jalo he, ga gona ope wa rona yo o ka ipelafatsang ka yone.
10 For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them.
Ke Modimo ka bo one o o re dirileng se re leng sone wa bo wa re naya matshelo a masha a a tswang kwa go Keresete Jesu; mme mo dingwageng tse dintsi tse di fetileng o ne wa loga leano la gore re tshwanetse go dirisa matshelo go thusa ba bangwe.
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,
Se lebaleng gore lo kile lwa bo lo le baheitane, le gore Bajuta ba ne ba lo bitsa batho ba ba senang Modimo, ba ba “leswe”. (Mme le bone dipelo tsa bone di ne di santse di le leswe, le fa ba ne ba tsena mo dingwaong le mo medirong ya basiami, gonne ba ne ba ithupisa e le sesupo sa bomodimo).
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.
Gakologelwang gore malatsing ao lo ne lo tshela kwa ntle ga ga Keresete; lo ne lo le baba ba bana ba Modimo mme o ne o sa lo solofetsa thuso epe. Lo ne lo latlhegile, lo sena Modimo, lo sena tsholofelo.
13 But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.
Mme jaanong lo ba ga Keresete, mme le fa lo kile lwa ne lo le kgakala le Modimo, jaanong lo tlisitswe gaufi le one ka ntlha ya se Keresete o se lo diretseng ka madi a gagwe.
14 For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stoppe of the partition wall,
Gonne Keresete ka sebele ke tsela ya rona ya kagiso. O dirile kagiso fa gare ga rona Bajuta le lona Badichaba ka go re dira bana ba lolwapa lo le longwe, a diga lorako lwa kilano e e tletseng lonyatso e e neng e re kgaoganya.
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,
Ka loso lwa gagwe o khutlisitse tsogologano le pifelano fa gare ga rona, e e neng e dirwa ke melao ya Sejuta e e neng e sireleditse Bajuta fela e kgetholola Badichaba, gonne o swetse gore a phimole tsela eo yotlhe ya melao ya Sejuta. Mme a tsaya ditlhopha tse pedi tse di neng di sa utlwane a di dira ditokololo tsa gagwe; ka go dira jalo a re bopaganya go nna motho a le mongwe yo mosha, mme lwa bofelo ga nna kagiso.
16 And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby,
Ka re le ditokololo tsa mmele wa gagwe, dikilano tsa rona di nyeletse, gonne rotlhe re letlantswe mo Modimong. Jalo he, lwa bofelo kgotlhang ya felela kwa mokgorong.
17 And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.
Mme o rile Mafoko a a Molemo a, a kagiso kwa go lona Badichaba ba lo neng lo le kgakala thata nae, le kwa go rona Bajuta ba re neng re le gaufi.
18 For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.
Jaanong rotlhe fela, Bajuta kgotsa Badichaba, re ka tla kwa Modimong Rara ka thuso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo ka ntlha ya se Keresete o se re diretseng.
19 Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God,
Jaanong ga lo sa tlhole lo le baeng mo Modimong le bajaki mo legodimong, mme lo ba lolwapa lwa Modimo tota, ebile lo ba ntlo ya one mmogo le Bakeresete botlhe.
20 And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Iesus Christ himselfe being the chiefe corner stone,
A motheo o montle o lo emeng mo go one jaanong jaana: ebong baaposetoloi le baporofiti: Jesu Keresete ka sebele e leng lentswe la kago la kgokgotshwana.
21 In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.
Rona ba re dumelang re lomagantswe sentle le Keresete jaaka ditokololo tsa tempele e ntle ya Modimo e e golelang pele.
22 In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.
Mme le lona lo lomagantswe nae le ba bangwe ke Mowa, jalo lo tokololo ya ntlo e ya Modimo.
