Ephesians 2
1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Mu thama beno bu luba bafua mu zinzimbala zieno ayi mu masumu meno;
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)
mu mawu beno ludiatila boso buididi ntoto wawu ayi boso buididi Pfumu yi lulendo lu mbimbi, pheve yinsalanga mu batu badi matingu. (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.
Beto mamveto, tuba banga bawu; tuzingila boso bubela zinzinunu zieto zi kinsuni ayi tudukisa luzolo lu nsuni ayi lu mayindu meto. Mu kimutu beto tuba batu bobo zinganzi zi Nzambi zifueti buila banga batu bankaka.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Vayi Nzambi nkua kimvuama mu kiadi mu diambu di luzolo lunneni lolokatuzodila;
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )
wutuzingisa va kimosi ayi Klisto; beto bobo tuba bafua mu diambu di zinzimbala zieto. Mu nlemvo luvukila.
6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:
Wutufulukisa va kimosi ayi niandi ayi wutuvuandisa va kimosi, mu Diyilu, mu Klisto Yesu
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)
mu diambu katumonisa mu zitsungi ziela kuiza bunneni bu kimvuama ki nlemvo andi mu diambu di mamboti mandi kuidi beto mu Klisto Yesu. (aiōn g165)
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Bila mu nlemvo luvukila; mu nzila yi minu. Luvulusu beni lusia ba kuidi beno ko vayi didi dikaba di Nzambi.
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Bika sia ti mu mavanga luvukila muingi mutu kabika kuandi kukiniemisa.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Bila beto tuidi bivangu biandi; tuvangu mu Klisto Yesu mu diambu di vanganga mavanga mamboti momo Nzambi kakubika tona thama muingi tusadila mawu.
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;
Diawu, lutebuka moyo ti beno luba Bapakanu mu nsuni, baba kulutedilanga batu bakambu zengo kuidi bobo baba tedilanga bazengo. Nzengolo beni yivangimina, mu nitu, mu mioko mi batu.
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:
Lutebuka moyo ti mu thangu beni, beno luba bavambana ayi Klisto, lusia ba minsua mu vuanda mu divula di Iseli ko bila luba banzenza mu zinguizani ziozi zivanunu tsila; luba batu basobolo kuidi Nzambi ko bila luba banzenza mu zinguizani zi Nzambi zivanunu tsila; luba batu bakambulu diana ayi bakambulu Nzambi va ntoto.
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Vayi buabu, mu Klisto Yesu; beno lutuama ba thama ayi Nzambi vayi luyikidi bafikama mu diambu di menga matengula Klisto.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];
Bila niandi ndembama yeto. Niandi wukitula Bayuda ayi Bapakanumutu wumosi ayi niandi wutiolumuna baka ki kithatu kioki kiba vambisa.
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;
Bila mu nsuni andi niandi wuvonda mina va kimosi ayi zithumunu ziandiayi minsiku miandi. Diodi divangimina mu diambu di vanga mu niandi veka mutu wumosi wumona wuntotukila mu batu buadi. Buawu bobo kakotisila ndembama.
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Mu diambu kabaka bu vutudila, mu nzila yi dikulusi, nguizani yi bawu buadi mu nitu yimosi kuidi Nzambi bu kavondila kimbeni kiawu va dikulusi.
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
Klisto wuyiza ayi wusamuna ndembama kuidi beno luba thama ayi wusamuna ndembama kuidi bobo baba bafikama.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Bila, mu diambu diandi, beto yawu tubeki minsua mu kota kuidi Tata mu Pheve yimosi.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Diawu, beno lusiedi diaka banzenza ko voti minkibi ko, vayi lueka buabu basi tsi va kimosi ayi banlongo ayi basi nzo yi Nzambi.
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];
Beno lutungu va yilu fundasio yi bamvuala ayi mimbikudi. Yesu Klisto, niandi ditadi di mfunu di fuma.
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Mu niandi nzo yoso yibundusulu va kimosi ayi yilembo yundukamu diambu yiba Nzo yi Nzambi yinlongo mu Pfumu.
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ayi mu niandi, beno lulembo tungulu va kimosi mu diambu lukituka nzo yimvuandanga Nzambi mu Pheve.
