Ephesians 2
1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Konsa, nou te vin vivan an nan lè nou te fin mouri nan transgresyon ak peche nou yo.
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)
Nan sila yo menm, nou te konn mache oparavan yo, selon kous a mond sa a, selon prens a pwisans de lè a, lespri a ki koulye a menm ap aji nan fis a dezobeyisans yo. (aiōn g165)
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Pami yo, nou tou te konn viv nan dezi lachè nou, nan satisfè sa dezi lachè a ak lespri a te mande nou fè. Nou te pa lanati, zanfan lakòlè menm jan ak tout lòt yo.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Men Bondye, ki rich an mizerikòd, akoz gran amou Li ke Li te sèvi nan renmen nou an,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )
ki menm lè nou te deja mouri nan transgresyon nou yo, Li te fè nou viv ansanm avèk Kris. Pa lagras nou te sove a.
6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:
Li te leve nou avèk Li, epi te fè nou chita avèk Li nan lye selès yo, nan Kris Jésus,
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
pou nan tan k ap vini yo, Li ta kapab montre nou richès a gras Li ki pi gran pase tout bagay, nan dousè Li anvè nou nan Jésus Kri. (aiōn g165)
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Paske se pa lagras ke nou sove atravè lafwa. E sa pa de nou menm, se kado a Bondye a.
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Li pa pa mwayen de zèv yo, pou pèsòn pa kapab vante tèt li.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Paske nou se èv Li, kreye an Jésus Kri pou fè bon zèv, ke Bondye te prepare davans pou nou ta kapab mache nan yo.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Konsa, sonje, ke oparavan, nou menm, pèp etranje nan lachè yo, ki rele “Ensikonsi” pa sila ki rele pwòp tèt yo “Sikonsi” yo, ki fèt nan lachè pa men a lòm,
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
sonje ke nou te nan tan sa a separe de Kris, andeyò de kominote Israël la, e etranje selon akò pwomès yo, san espwa, e san Bondye nan mond lan.
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Men koulye a nan Kris Jésus, nou menm ki te oparavan byen lwen, nou gen tan vin touprè pa san a Kris la.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];
Paske Li menm, Li se lapè nou, ki te fè de gwoup sa yo vin yon sèl, e ki te kraze baryè miray divizyon an,
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;
lè L te aboli nan lachè Li, rayisman ki se lalwa kòmandman yo ki te nan tout règ yo, pou nan Li menm, Li ta kapab fè ak de pèp sa yo, yon sèl òm tounèf e konsa etabli lapè.
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Konsa, Li ta kapab rekonsilye yo toulède nan yon sèl kò pou Bondye atravè lakwa a, ki te mete rayisman sa a lanmò.
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
“Epi Li te vin preche lapè a nou ki te byen lwen an, e lapè a sila ki te touprè yo.”
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Paske atravè Li menm, nou toulède gen aksè nan yon sèl Lespri a Papa a.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Konsa, nou pa etranje ak moun deyò ankò, men nou se sitwayen ansanm avèk sen yo, e manm fanmi a lakay Bondye a,
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];
ki te bati sou fondasyon apot ak pwofèt yo, Kris Jésus Li menm kòm wòch la ki fòme ang prensipal la.
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Nan Li menm tout kay la bati ansanm, epi ap grandi pou devni yon tanp ki sen nan Senyè a.
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Nan Li menm, nou osi ap vin bati ansanm pou vini yon kote pou Lespri Bondye a kapab rete.
