Ephesians 2
1 And so God has given life to you Gentiles also, who were once dead in your trespasses and sins,
Sina kwenu, muba fwire kumilandu yenu ni muzivi.
2 in which you passed your lives after the way of this world, under the sway of the Prince of the Powers of the Air, the spirit who is now working among 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 And among them we all once passed our lives, indulging the passions of our flesh, carrying out the dictates of our senses and temperament, and were by nature the children of wrath like all the rest.
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, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
Kono Ireza muhumi kuchisemo chebaka lyakwe lyelato lya tusaka.
5 even while we were dead in our trespasses, made us live together with Christ (it is by grace you have been saved).
Haho tuba kufwire mumilandu, Aba tuleti tubonse mubu halo bunhya mwa Christ. Linu kechi semo chakwe tuba hazwa.
6 together with him He raised us from the dead, and together with Christ Jesus seated us in the heavenly realm,
Ireza aba tunyemuni tubose ni kutupanga kwi kala tuvose muzibaka zokwiulu mwa Jesu Christ.
7 in order that he might show to the ages to come the amazing riches of his grace by his goodness to 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 have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is God’s gift.
Kuya ke chisemo muba hazwa che ntumelo, Linu inzi kena zibazwe kwako, impo ye Ireeza.
9 It is not of works, so that any one can boast of it;
Kaizwe kumisebezi kuti zumwi ali tundumune.
10 for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.
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 Do not forget then, that you Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by the "circumcision" made in flesh by man’s hand,
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 were once upon a time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants of the Promise, without 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 who once were far away have been brought near in the blood of 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 has made the two of us Jew and Gentile one, and has broken down the party-wall of partition between us.
Kakuli njiyena inkozo yetu. Aba kopanyi bobere hamwina. chamubili wakwe aba shiinyi ma mota aba kutukauhanya ni kutu suminina.
15 In his own body he abolished the cause of our enmity, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, in order to make the two into one new man in himself, so making peace.
Linu, aba manisi mulao we ntaelo ni milao kuti a wole kbumba muntu munhya mwali. Aba pangi inkozo.
16 Thus he reconciled us both in one body to God by his cross, on which he slew our enmity.
Aba pangi inzi kuvoza hamwina bantu vonse mumubili onke kwa Ireeza kuya ke chifapano. Ke chifapano abe hayi kusuminina.
17 So he came preaching "Peace" to you Gentiles who were afar off, and "Peace" to us Jews who were near;
Jesu aba kezi nikwiza kuwamba inkozo kwenu mubakena kule, hape inkozo kwenu mubena hafuhi.
18 because it is through him that we both have access in one spirit to the Father.
Kuya ka Jesu tubonse tuzumininwa mu luhuho lonke kwe Ishetu.
19 Take notice then that no longer are you strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household.
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 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone.
Linu muba zakwa ha mutomo wa baapositola ni bapolofita. Christ Jesu iye mwine avali musumo.
21 In him the whole building, fitly framed together, rises into a holy temple in the Lord;
Mwali muyaho onse ukopanyiwa ni kukula ubu inkeleke mwa Simwine.
22 and in him you, too, are continuously built together for a dwelling- place of God through his Spirit.
Nji mwali muzakiwa hamwina ubu chibaka chokuhala kwa Ireza mu Luhuho.
