Ephesians 2
1 [Unto] you also—being dead by your offences and sins,
Kadeni mwavene mwafwili muwumi winu wa chimpungu ndava ya kubela kuyidakila Chapanga kumbudila kwinu Chapanga.
2 In which at one time ye walked, according to the age of the world, according to the prince of the authority of the air, of the spirit that now energiseth in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)
Lukumbi lula mweatamili kulandana na mtindu uhakau wa mulima wenuwo. Mwavi mwiyidakila chilongosi wa mizuka weuvi na makakala ga kunani, mzuka weukuvalongosa hinu vandu vangamyidakila Chapanga. (aiōn g165)
3 Among whom also, we all, had our behaviour, at one time, in the covetings of our flesh, doing the things desired by the flesh and the mind, and were children, by nature, of anger—even as the rest, —
Na hati, tete tavoha tavili ngati vene kwa kulandana na mnogo uhakau wetivelikwi nawu tatamili mukuhenga kila chechiganisa higa na luhala lwitu. Muhali yeniyo ngati vangi voha taganikiwi ligoga la Chapanga.
4 But, God, being rich in mercy, by reason of the great love wherewith he loved us,
Nambu kwa lipyana lamahele la Chapanga na uganu waki uvaha kwitu,
5 Although we were dead by our offences, gave us life together with the Christ, —by favour, ye have been saved, —
Hati lukumbi lula patakavili tifwili muwumi witu chimpungu ndava ya kumbudila Chapanga atikitili vawumi pamonga na Kilisitu. Kwa ubwina wa Chapanga nyenye musanguliwi.
6 And raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenlies, in Christ:
Mukuwungana na Yesu Kilisitu Chapanga atiyukisi pamonga nayu kutitamika tilongosa pamonga nayu kwenuko kunani kwa Chapanga.
7 That he might point out, in the oncoming ages, the surpassing riches of his favour in graciousness upon us, in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)
Akitili chenichi muni alangisa kwa lusenje lwoha ubwina wa Chapanga uvaha na wakukangasa mu njila ya lipyana laki mukuwungana kwitu na Kilisitu Yesu. (aiōn g165)
8 For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this [hath come to pass] —not from you, of God, the free-gift!
Ndava muni, muubwina wa Chapanga musanguliwi mu njila ya sadika. Yeniyo yihumila lepi na nyenye nambu njombi kuhuma kwa Chapanga.
9 Not from works, lest anyone should boast.
Yihumila lepi na lihengu la mundu ndi mundu yeyoha akotoka kujikwiha.
10 His, in fact we are—his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus upon a footing of good works, which God prepared beforehand, that, therein, we might walk.
Chapanga atiwumbili tivya vamupya mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu, muni titama wumi wa kuhenga gabwina ngati cheatitendelekili kuhuma kadeni tihamba mu njila yeniyo.
11 Wherefore, keep in remembrance—that, at one time, ye, the nations in flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by the so-called Circumcision in flesh, made by hand,
Hinu mukumbuka nyenye kwa kuvelekewa vandu mwanga Vayawudi, mwemkemelewa mwangadumula jandu. Mujandu ya higa yeyikitiwa na mawoko.
12 That ye were, in that season, separate from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and godless in the world;
Lukumbi lula nyenye mwavi changali Kilisitu, mwavi lepi vandu va Isilaeli, mwavi vayehe na mwavi lepi Vayawudi vandu vevahaguliwi na Chapanga mwavi lepi pandu popoha mu lilaganu leavalagazili Chapanga kwa vandu vaki. Mweatamili pamulima vangammanya Chapanga amala huvalila.
13 But, just now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who at one time were afar off, were made nigh in the blood of the Christ;
Nambu hinu, mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu, nyenye penapo kadeni mwavili kutali, muhegelili papipi mu njila ya ngasi yaki Kilisitu.
14 He, in fact, is our peace—who made both one, and, the enclosing middle-wall, took down,
Ndava muni Kilisitu mwene atiletili uteke kwa kuvakita Vayawudi na vangali Vayawudi kuvya vamonga. Kuwusa higa yaki ngati luteta mwene agwisili luhumba lwelukuvalekanganisi na kuvakita makoko.
15 The enmity, in his flesh—the law of commandments in decrees—bringing to nought, —that, the two, he might create in himself, into one man of new mould, making peace.
Awusili malagizu gala pamonga na malagizu gaki, muni misambi yivili ya vandu ava vavyai chindu chimonga mukuwungana nayu, aletili uteke kwa njila yeniyo.
16 And might fully reconcile them both, in one body, through means of the cross, —slaying the enmity thereby; —
Mu njila ya lifwa laki, Kilisitu pamsalaba ahalabisi umakoko wavi na avawunganisi vandu va makabila ndalindali kuvya vamonga akavaleta kwa Chapanga.
17 And, coming, he announced the glad-message—of peace, unto you, the far off, and peace, unto them that were nigh;
Hinu Kilisitu abwelili akakokosa Lilovi la Bwina la uteke kwinu mwemwavili kutali na uteke kwavi vevavi papipi na Chapanga.
18 Because, through him, we have our introduction—we both—in one Spirit, unto the Father.
Ndava ya gala gehagahengili Kilisitu, tete tavoha Vayawudi na vandu vangali Vayawudi, tihotola kumhambila Dadi mu Mpungu Msopi mmonga.
19 Hence, then—no longer, are ye strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God, —
Ndi nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi vayehe lepi kavili, vakolonjinji pamonga na vandu va Chapanga muvi na lukolo lwa vana va Chapanga.
20 Having been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, there being, for chief corner stone, Jesus Christ himself, —
Mujengiwi mu mkingisa weuvikiwi na vamitumi na Vamlota va Chapanga, na Yesu Kilisitu mwene ndi liganga likulu la pamhana la mkingisa.
21 In whom, an entire building, in process of being fitly joined together, is growing into a holy shrine in [the] Lord;
Mwene ndi mweijenga na kuwunganisa loha yiyonjokeseka kuvya Nyumba ya Chapanga ya msopi yeyivikiwa kwa Bambu.
22 In whom, ye also, are being builded together, into a habitation of God in Spirit.
Mukuwungana nayu, mewa nyenye mujengiwi pamonga na vandu voha kuvya matamilu ga Chapanga mu njila ya Mpungu Msopi.
