Ephesians 2
1 Also you—being dead in trespasses and sins,
Sina kwenu, muba fwire kumilandu yenu ni muzivi.
2 in which you once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)
Ibali mwezi zintu kuti mani mubayendi chazo lwazintu zenkanda. Muba kuyenda keswanelo kuya cha Mubusi wepuso ye mbyumbyulu. Ulu njilu huho lwa muntu yo sebeza mubana basena ikute. (aiōn g165)
3 among whom we also all walked once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath—as also the others,
Naswe bulyo imwi inako tuba kwina kuvali avo basa zumini. Tuba kusebeza kuya che ntakazo imbi yo mubiri yetu. Tuba kupanga misebezi ye nyama ni mihupulo. Chakuya chensimuuloho tubali tubana ba bengerwe sina bamwi.
4 but God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,
Kono Ireza muhumi kuchisemo chebaka lyakwe lyelato lya tusaka.
5 even being dead in the trespasses, made us alive together with the Christ (by grace you are saved),
Haho tuba kufwire mumilandu, Aba tuleti tubonse mubu halo bunhya mwa Christ. Linu kechi semo chakwe tuba hazwa.
6 and raised [us] up together, and sat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,
Ireza aba tunyemuni tubose ni kutupanga kwi kala tuvose muzibaka zokwiulu mwa Jesu Christ.
7 that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, (aiōn g165)
Aba pangi inzi kuti mwinako inkeza atutondeze bungi bwe chisemo cha kwe. Uzi tutondeza izi ka kuya kachi semo mwa Christ Jesu. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you are saved, through faith, and this [is] not of yourselves—[it is] the gift of God,
Kuya ke chisemo muba hazwa che ntumelo, Linu inzi kena zibazwe kwako, impo ye Ireeza.
9 not of works, that no one may boast;
Kaizwe kumisebezi kuti zumwi ali tundumune.
10 for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus on good works, which God prepared before, that we may walk in them.
Mi tuba beleki be Ireza, kubumbwa mwa Christ Jesu kupanga misebezi milotu iyo Ireeza yabazezi kale kale uko kwetu, iri kuti tuyende mwa teni.
11 For this reason, remember, that you [were] once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,
Nihakubabulyo muhupule kuti inako imwe mubali volusika mwi nyama. Linu munsumpiwa”vasena baba yendi kumupato” kakuya icho chinsumpiwa mupato mwi nyama chi pangiwa mayanza umuntu.
12 that you were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world;
Mwe ina inako muba kukauhenwe kwa Christ. Mubali bazwa kule ku chisi cha Isilaele. Inwe mubali muba yenzi ku chilikani che nsempiso. Kena mubena i ntukelo ya kubusu. Kena mubena Ireza mwinkanda.
13 but now, in Christ Jesus, you being once far off became near in the blood of the Christ,
Linu mwa Christ Jesu inwe imwe inako muba kwina kule ni Ireza mubaletwa hafuhi ni Ireza ni malaha a Christ.
14 for He is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of the partition of hostility,
Kakuli njiyena inkozo yetu. Aba kopanyi bobere hamwina. chamubili wakwe aba shiinyi ma mota aba kutukauhanya ni kutu suminina.
15 the enmity in His flesh, having done away [with] the Law of the commands in ordinances, that He might create the two into one new man in Himself, making peace,
Linu, aba manisi mulao we ntaelo ni milao kuti a wole kbumba muntu munhya mwali. Aba pangi inkozo.
16 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the Cross, having slain the enmity by it,
Aba pangi inzi kuvoza hamwina bantu vonse mumubili onke kwa Ireeza kuya ke chifapano. Ke chifapano abe hayi kusuminina.
17 and having come, He proclaimed good news—peace to you—the far-off and the near,
Jesu aba kezi nikwiza kuwamba inkozo kwenu mubakena kule, hape inkozo kwenu mubena hafuhi.
18 because through Him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit to the Father.
Kuya ka Jesu tubonse tuzumininwa mu luhuho lonke kwe Ishetu.
19 Then, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the holy ones, and of the household of God,
Nihakubabulya, hanu inwe chisi chamasi angi kamusili muba enzi nibazwa kule. Kono inwe mubazaki nabo babikilwe kwi mbali kwe Ireza ni mamembala be nzobo ye Ireza.
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being chief corner-[stone],
Linu muba zakwa ha mutomo wa baapositola ni bapolofita. Christ Jesu iye mwine avali musumo.
21 in whom all the building fitly framed together increases to a holy temple in the LORD,
Mwali muyaho onse ukopanyiwa ni kukula ubu inkeleke mwa Simwine.
22 in whom you also are built together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Nji mwali muzakiwa hamwina ubu chibaka chokuhala kwa Ireza mu Luhuho.
