Ephesians 2
1 Formerly, because you were habitually sinning [DOU], you were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as a] corpse [MET] is).
Kamu dahulu sudah mati karena pelanggaran-pelanggaran dan dosa-dosamu.
2 You were acting in the same [evil] way as those who oppose Christ [MTY] act. That is, you were behaving in the [evil] ways [that Satan wanted you to behave]. He rules over evil spiritual beings that no person can see [MTY]. He is the spirit who now powerfully controls the people who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
Kamu hidup di dalamnya, karena kamu mengikuti jalan dunia ini, karena kamu mentaati penguasa kerajaan angkasa, yaitu roh yang sekarang sedang bekerja di antara orang-orang durhaka. (aiōn g165)
3 Formerly, we all used to disobey God as they do. We did the things that our self-centered nature wanted us to do. We habitually did those [evil] deeds that our bodies and our minds wanted to do. When we were acting like that, it was certain that [God] would punish [MTY] us, just like he will certainly punish all other [evil people].
Sebenarnya dahulu kami semua juga terhitung di antara mereka, ketika kami hidup di dalam hawa nafsu daging dan menuruti kehendak daging dan pikiran kami yang jahat. Pada dasarnya kami adalah orang-orang yang harus dimurkai, sama seperti mereka yang lain.
4 But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much.
Tetapi Allah yang kaya dengan rahmat, oleh karena kasih-Nya yang besar, yang dilimpahkan-Nya kepada kita,
5 As a result, even when we were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as] a corpse [MET] is) because we were habitually sinning, he enabled us to receive [spiritual]/[eternal] life because of our relationship with Christ. [Do not forget this: It is only] because God has acted so kindly toward you, in a way that you did not deserve, that you are saved {that [he] saved you} [from the guilt of your sin]
telah menghidupkan kita bersama-sama dengan Kristus, sekalipun kita telah mati oleh kesalahan-kesalahan kita--oleh kasih karunia kamu diselamatkan--
6 And [it is as though] God gave us spiritual life when he caused Christ Jesus to be alive again after he died [MET]. And [it is as though] God caused us to sit [and rule] [MTY] with him in heaven,
dan di dalam Kristus Yesus Ia telah membangkitkan kita juga dan memberikan tempat bersama-sama dengan Dia di sorga,
7 in order that he might show to everyone at all times in the future that he has acted toward us in an extremely kind way because of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. (aiōn g165)
supaya pada masa yang akan datang Ia menunjukkan kepada kita kekayaan kasih karunia-Nya yang melimpah-limpah sesuai dengan kebaikan-Nya terhadap kita dalam Kristus Yesus. (aiōn g165)
8 It is [only] by [God] acting [PRS] [toward you] in a way that you did not deserve that you have been saved {that he has saved you} as a result of your trusting [in Christ]. You did not save yourselves. His saving you was his gift to you.
Sebab karena kasih karunia kamu diselamatkan oleh iman; itu bukan hasil usahamu, tetapi pemberian Allah,
9 He did not save any of you because of anything you yourselves did. Because you have done nothing [to save yourselves], you cannot be proud of your efforts to save yourselves.
itu bukan hasil pekerjaanmu: jangan ada orang yang memegahkan diri.
10 It is God who has made us what we are now. Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, he has enabled us to receive [spiritual/eternal] life in order that we should conduct our lives habitually doing the good deeds that God previously planned for us to do.
Karena kita ini buatan Allah, diciptakan dalam Kristus Yesus untuk melakukan pekerjaan baik, yang dipersiapkan Allah sebelumnya. Ia mau, supaya kita hidup di dalamnya.
11 You [Ephesians] have been non-Jews from the time that you were born. The Jews ([insult you/say that you are not God’s people]) [by] calling you ‘those who are not circumcised’. They [proudly] call themselves ‘we [(exc)] who are circumcised’. [They have allowed people to] circumcise [them to indicate that they are God’s people, but] that has [only] changed their bodies, [not their] ([inner beings/hearts]).
Karena itu ingatlah, bahwa dahulu kamu--sebagai orang-orang bukan Yahudi menurut daging, yang disebut orang-orang tak bersunat oleh mereka yang menamakan dirinya "sunat", yaitu sunat lahiriah yang dikerjakan oleh tangan manusia, --
12 You should constantly remember these things: Formerly you did not have any relationship with Christ. You did not belong to the people of Israel, [the people whom God chose]. You did not know about the things God promised in his agreements [with his people]. You did not confidently expect to go to heaven after you die (OR, [that God would save you]). You [lived] in this world without knowing God.
bahwa waktu itu kamu tanpa Kristus, tidak termasuk kewargaan Israel dan tidak mendapat bagian dalam ketentuan-ketentuan yang dijanjikan, tanpa pengharapan dan tanpa Allah di dalam dunia.
13 But now, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, God has brought you, who had no relationship with him [MET], into his family [MET]. He did that because [you trusted in what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed from his body when he died on the cross].
Tetapi sekarang di dalam Kristus Yesus kamu, yang dahulu "jauh", sudah menjadi "dekat" oleh darah Kristus.
14 Christ himself [has caused us Jewish and non-Jewish believers] to have peace [with each other]. He has made both [of our groups] to become one [group]. [Just like people] (tear down/demolish) a wall that separates [groups of people] [MET], he has destroyed the hatred [between Jews and non-Jews].
Karena Dialah damai sejahtera kita, yang telah mempersatukan kedua pihak dan yang telah merubuhkan tembok pemisah, yaitu perseteruan,
15 By dying [MTY] [for us on the cross] he made it no longer [necessary for us to obey] all the [Jewish] laws and rituals [in order to be saved]. He did that in order to enable the two [groups] to become one new group because of our relationship with him. The result was that he has caused us to have peace [with each other].
sebab dengan mati-Nya sebagai manusia Ia telah membatalkan hukum Taurat dengan segala perintah dan ketentuannya, untuk menciptakan keduanya menjadi satu manusia baru di dalam diri-Nya, dan dengan itu mengadakan damai sejahtera,
16 By [dying on] the cross [MTY] he caused both Jews and non-Jews to have a peaceful relationship with God. That is how he caused us to no longer be [MET] enemies [with God] (OR, [with each other]).
dan untuk memperdamaikan keduanya, di dalam satu tubuh, dengan Allah oleh salib, dengan melenyapkan perseteruan pada salib itu.
17 He came [to earth] and proclaimed that you [non-Jews], who did not have a relationship with [MET] [God], and [us(exc) Jews], who [considered that we(exc) belonged to] [MET] God’s [family], can [all] now have peace [with God].
Ia datang dan memberitakan damai sejahtera kepada kamu yang "jauh" dan damai sejahtera kepada mereka yang "dekat",
18 [We know that he has done that] because we both, [Jews and non-Jews], are [now] able to approach God the Father in prayer by the help of his Spirit, because of what Christ [has done].
karena oleh Dia kita kedua pihak dalam satu Roh beroleh jalan masuk kepada Bapa.
19 So [God no longer treats] you [non-Jews] as [people treat] [MET] foreigners and strangers [who live among them] [MET]. Instead, along with all God’s people, [it is as though] you have become citizens of a country that he rules over, and [as though you have become] members of the family [of which he is the father] [MET].
Demikianlah kamu bukan lagi orang asing dan pendatang, melainkan kawan sewarga dari orang-orang kudus dan anggota-anggota keluarga Allah,
20 [Just like] a building is built {[as someone] builds a building} on a foundation, [God has joined you into one group that originated/began] from what the apostles and prophets [taught]. Christ Jesus is the [most important one in that group, just like a] cornerstone [is the most important part of a building]. And
yang dibangun di atas dasar para rasul dan para nabi, dengan Kristus Yesus sebagai batu penjuru.
21 just like [a builder might] join together all the parts of a building to make it a temple that [people will] dedicate to the Lord [MET], [Christ is continually causing all of] you who have a relationship with [him to be united, in order that you will become one holy group].
Di dalam Dia tumbuh seluruh bangunan, rapih tersusun, menjadi bait Allah yang kudus, di dalam Tuhan.
22 And because of your relationship with Christ, [God] is joining you [non-Jews] together with [Jewish believers] to be [like] one building [MET] in which his Spirit lives.
Di dalam Dia kamu juga turut dibangunkan menjadi tempat kediaman Allah, di dalam Roh.
