Ephesians 2
1 And so God has given life to you Gentiles also, who were once dead in your trespasses and sins,
Ní ti ẹ̀yin, ẹ̀yin ni ó sì ti sọ di ààyè, nígbà ti ẹ̀yin ti kú nítorí ìrékọjá àti àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín,
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)
nínú èyí tí ẹ̀yin ti gbé rí, àní bí ìlànà ti ayé yìí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláṣẹ agbára ojú ọ̀run, ẹ̀mí tí n ṣiṣẹ́ ni ìsinsin yìí nínú àwọn ọmọ aláìgbọ́ràn. (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.
Nínú àwọn ẹni tí gbogbo wa pẹ̀lú ti wà rí nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ara wa, a ń mú ìfẹ́ ara àti ti inú ṣẹ, àti nípa ìṣẹ̀dá àwa sì ti jẹ́ ọmọ ìbínú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ìyókù pẹ̀lú.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí í ṣe ọlọ́rọ̀ ni àánú, nítorí ìfẹ́ ńlá rẹ̀ tí ó fi fẹ́ wa,
5 even while we were dead in our trespasses, made us live together with Christ (it is by grace you have been saved).
nígbà tí àwa tilẹ̀ ti kú nítorí ìrékọjá wa, ó sọ wá di ààyè pẹ̀lú Kristi, oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ni a ti fi gbà yín là.
6 together with him He raised us from the dead, and together with Christ Jesus seated us in the heavenly realm,
Ọlọ́run sì ti jí wa dìde pẹ̀lú Kristi, ó sì ti mú wa jókòó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọ̀run nínú Kristi Jesu.
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)
Pé ni gbogbo ìgbà tí ń bọ̀ kí ó bà á lè fi ọ̀rọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀ tí o pọ̀ rékọjá hàn fún wa nínú ìṣeun rẹ̀ sì wà nínú Kristi Jesu. (aiōn g165)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is God’s gift.
Nítorí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ní a fi gbà yín là nípa ìgbàgbọ́. Èyí kì í ṣe nípa agbára ẹ̀yin fúnra yín: ẹ̀bùn Ọlọ́run ni,
9 It is not of works, so that any one can boast of it;
kì í ṣe nípa àwọn iṣẹ́, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ba à ṣògo.
10 for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.
Nítorí àwa ni iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí a ti dá nínú Kristi Jesu fún àwọn iṣẹ́ rere, èyí tí Ọlọ́run ti pèsè tẹ́lẹ̀, fún wa láti ṣe.
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,
Nítorí náà ẹ rántí pé, nígbà àtijọ́ rí, ẹ̀yin tí ẹ ti jẹ́ Kèfèrí nípa ti ìbí, tí àwọn tí a ń pè ní “aláìkọlà” láti ọwọ́ àwọn tí ń pe ara wọn “akọlà” (èyí ti a fi ọwọ́ ènìyàn ṣe sí ni ní ara).
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.
Ẹ rántí pé ni àkókò náà ẹ̀yin wà láìní Kristi, ẹ jẹ́ àjèjì sí Israẹli, àti àjèjì sí àwọn májẹ̀mú ìlérí náà, láìní ìrètí, àti láìní Ọlọ́run ni ayé.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near in the blood of Christ.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí nínú Kristi Jesu ẹ̀yin tí ó ti jìnà réré nígbà àtijọ́ rí ni a mú súnmọ́ tòsí, nípa ẹ̀jẹ̀ Kristi.
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.
Nítorí òun ni àlàáfíà wa, ẹni tí o ti ṣe méjèèjì ni ọ̀kan, tí ó sì ti wó ògiri ìkélé ti ìkórìíra èyí tí ń bẹ láàrín yín.
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.
Ó sì ti fi òpin sí ọ̀tá náà nínú ara rẹ̀, àní sí òfin àti àṣẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ń bẹ nínú ìlànà, kí ó lè sọ àwọn méjèèjì di ẹni tuntun kan nínú ara rẹ̀, kí ó sì ṣe ìlàjà
16 Thus he reconciled us both in one body to God by his cross, on which he slew our enmity.
àti kí ó lè mú àwọn méjèèjì bá Ọlọ́run làjà nínú ara kan nípa àgbélébùú; nípa èyí tí yóò fi pa ìṣọ̀tá náà run.
17 So he came preaching "Peace" to you Gentiles who were afar off, and "Peace" to us Jews who were near;
Ó sì ti wá, ó sì ti wàásù àlàáfíà fún ẹ̀yin tí o jìnnà réré, àti àlàáfíà fún àwọn tí o súnmọ́ tòsí.
18 because it is through him that we both have access in one spirit to the Father.
Nítorí nípa rẹ̀ ni àwa méjèèjì ti ni àǹfààní sọ́dọ̀ baba nípa Ẹ̀mí kan.
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.
Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà ẹ̀yin kì í ṣe àlejò àti àjèjì mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n àjùmọ̀jogún ọmọ ìbílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, àti àwọn ará ilé Ọlọ́run;
20 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone.
a sì ń gbé yín ró lórí ìpìlẹ̀ àwọn aposteli, àti àwọn wòlíì, pẹ̀lú Jesu Kristi fúnra rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí pàtàkì òkúta igun ilé.
21 In him the whole building, fitly framed together, rises into a holy temple in the Lord;
Nínú rẹ ni gbogbo ilé náà, tí a ń kọ wà papọ̀ ṣọ̀kan tí ó sì ń dàgbàsókè láti di tẹmpili mímọ́ kan nínú Olúwa.
22 and in him you, too, are continuously built together for a dwelling- place of God through his Spirit.
Nínú rẹ̀ ni a ń gbé ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ró pẹ̀lú fún ibùjókòó Ọlọ́run nínú Ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
