Ephesians 2
1 Also you—being dead in trespasses and sins,
Bozalaki bakufi mpo na mabe mpe masumu na bino,
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)
oyo bozalaki kosala na kala mpo na kobika bomoi na bino tango bozalaki kotambola kolanda baposa ya mokili oyo, mpe tango bozalaki kolanda mokonzi ya milimo mabe, molimo oyo ezali kosala sik’oyo kati na bato oyo bazangi botosi epai ya Nzambe. (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,
Biso nyonso mpe, na kala, tozalaki elongo na bango, tozalaki kotambola kolanda baposa na biso ya nzoto, tozalaki kokokisa nyonso oyo nzoto mpe makanisi na biso ezalaki kotinda biso kosala. Lokola bato mosusu, kanda ya Nzambe esengelaki kokweyela biso mpo na mabe ya bomoto na biso.
4 but God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,
Kasi mpo ete Nzambe atondi na mawa mpe alingaki biso na bolingo monene,
5 even being dead in the trespasses, made us alive together with the Christ (by grace you are saved),
atako tozalaki bakufi mpo na masumu na biso, akomisaki biso bato ya bomoi elongo na Klisto. Bobikisami nde na ngolu…
6 and raised [us] up together, and sat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,
Kati na Yesu-Klisto, Nzambe asekwisaki biso elongo na Klisto mpe avandisaki biso elongo na Ye na bisika ya Likolo
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)
mpo na kotalisa na bato ya bikeke oyo esengeli koya na sima, bomengo monene ya ngolu na Ye, oyo alakisaki kati na Yesu-Klisto na nzela ya boboto na Ye epai na biso. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you are saved, through faith, and this [is] not of yourselves—[it is] the gift of God,
Pamba te bobikisami nde na ngolu, na nzela ya kondima—mpe yango ewuti na bino te, kasi ezali nde likabo kowuta na Nzambe—
9 not of works, that no one may boast;
ezali na nzela ya misala na bino te mpo ete moko te akoka komikumisa.
10 for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus on good works, which God prepared before, that we may walk in them.
Solo, tozali mbuma ya mosala ya Nzambe: Akelaki biso kati na Yesu-Klisto mpo ete tosala misala ya malamu oyo Nzambe abongisa wuta kala mpo ete tokokisa yango.
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,
Yango wana, bobosanaka te ete na kala, bozalaki Bapagano kolanda mbotama na bino; mpe bato oyo bamibengaka « bato bakatama ngenga » bazalaki kobenga bino « bato bakatama ngenga te, » atako bazalaki bato bakatama ngenga kati na banzoto na bango na nzela ya mosala ya maboko ya bato.
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;
Bobosanaka mpe te ete na tango wana, bozalaki ya kokabwana na Klisto, bozangaki makoki ya bana mboka kati na Isalaele, bozalaki bapaya liboso ya boyokani oyo Nzambe alakaki, bozalaki bato bazanga elikya mpe bazanga Nzambe kati na mokili.
13 but now, in Christ Jesus, you being once far off became near in the blood of the Christ,
Kasi sik’oyo, kati na Yesu-Klisto, bino oyo na kala bozalaki mosika, bokomi pene na nzela ya mbeka ya makila ya Klisto.
14 for He is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of the partition of hostility,
Solo, azali Ye moko kimia na biso: atiaki bomoko kati na Bayuda mpe bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, akweyisaki mir ya bonguna oyo ezalaki kokabola bango,
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,
alongolaki Mobeko elongo na mitindo mpe malako na yango mpo na kokela, kati na Ye moko, moto ya sika na nzela ya Bayuda mpe bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, na kotia kimia,
16 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the Cross, having slain the enmity by it,
mpe mpo na koyokanisa, kati na nzoto se moko, masanga nyonso mibale elongo na Nzambe na nzela ya ekulusu oyo abomaki na yango bonguna oyo ezalaki kati na bango.
17 and having come, He proclaimed good news—peace to you—the far-off and the near,
Ayaki mpe ateyaki kimia epai na bino oyo bozalaki mosika, mpe kimia epai na bato oyo bazalaki pene.
18 because through Him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit to the Father.
Pamba te na nzela na Ye, biso mpe bango tokotaka epai ya Tata kati na Molimo moko.
19 Then, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the holy ones, and of the household of God,
Boye bozali lisusu te bapaya to baleki nzela, kasi bozali nde bankolo mboka elongo na basantu, bozali mpe bato ya libota ya Nzambe.
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being chief corner-[stone],
Nzambe akotisi bino kati na ndako oyo moboko na yango ezali bantoma mpe basakoli, mpe Ye moko Yesu-Klisto azali libanga na yango ya motuya mpo na kosimba ndako mobimba.
21 in whom all the building fitly framed together increases to a holy temple in the LORD,
Kati na Yesu-Klisto, ndako mobimba esangani malamu mpe ezali kokola mpo ete ekoma Tempelo ya bule kati na Nkolo.
22 in whom you also are built together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Mpe kati na Ye, bino mpe bozali kotongama lisanga mpo ete bokoma Ndako oyo Nzambe avandaka kati na yango na nzela ya Molimo na Ye.
