Ephesians 2
1 Formerly, because you were habitually sinning [DOU], you were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as a] corpse [MET] is).
Hagi korapara ke ruhanentagita, kumitmifi fri'nazane.
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)
Tamagranena maka mopafi vahe'mo'za nehazankna huta havi kante nevzane, kumi'tmimo avite'negeta, Sata kerera amage anteta, kankamumpi nemaniza hihamu'ane kva avamutamimofo amage anteta, Sata eri'zana enerita Anumzamofonte zamagu'a onte'za zamefi hunemi'za vahe'ene nemanizane. (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].
Zamagri amu'nompina korapara tagranena anazanke huta maka havi tavesi'zante amage ante'none, tagu'afine amega tavufafine tave'manesiaza hutere nehuta, tagra ana kefozampi fore huta amage' nentonkeno, Anumzamofona asi vazi'zamo tagrite'ene maka vahete' enena e'ne.
4 But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much.
Hu'neanagi Anumzamofo asuragi'zamo vite'ne, na'ankure tusi'a avesi'zanu Agra agu'areti tagrira avesi rante'ne.
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]
Kasege'a ruha'nentagita fri vahe kna huta mani'nonkeno, asunku'zanteti tahokeno, Kraisimpi tagrira fri'zampitira tazeri otino,
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,
magopi mona kuma'are tantegeta, Agrane kini tra'are mani'none.
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)
Anama hu'neana henkama fore hania knarera, agatere'nea zana Agri'a marerisa asunku'zanu tagrira Krais Jisasimpi taza huno agampu hurantesigu anara hu'ne. (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.
Na'ankure tamentinti nehzagu asuntgiramanteno tamaza huno tamavre'ne. Tamagra'a knare'za hu'naza zante anara osu'neanki Anumzamo museza (gift) tami'ne.
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.
Eri'za eri'nea mizana omnene, e'igu mago vahe'mo'a, agra'a agi erisaga osugahie.
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.
Na'ankure tagrira, Agra'a tro hurante'ne, Krais Jisasimpi knare eri'za erisnunku, Anumzamo'a korapa ana kana retro hunte'neankita, knare eri'za enerita ana kantera vugahune.
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]).
E'i zanku tamagra tamagesa antahiho, korapara tamagra megi'a vahere huta mani'nazane (Gentiles), tamagima ante'nazana, zamufa taga osu vahere nehu'za, zamufama taga nehaza vahe'mo'za, (Jiu) e'i zamazanu zamufa azeri'ne'za taga nehaze.
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.
Tamagra tamagesa antahini hiho, tamagra e'i ana knarera Kraisina afe'are mani'nazane, Israeli vahe krerafane omani'nazane, huvempa huno huhagerafi zamante'nea agu'afina omani'nazane, so'e mani'zama eri kankamutamia omanegeno, tamagri Anumzana mopafina omani'neane.
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].
Hu'neanagi menina Krais Jisasimpi afete'ma koteta tamagra mani'nazafintira, Kraisi koramo tamavreno tava'oma'are neramante.
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].
Na'ankure Agra'a tarimpa fru huno mani'zana (peace) neramino, Jiu vahe'ene megi'a vahe'mota ha' orente arente nehunana tazeri magopi neranteno, amu'nontifima atane'zama me'neana, eritreno tazeri mago hu'ne.
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].
Agra'a avufareti ha' orente arente nehu'nazana eri fanane nehuno, Jiu vahe kasege ramine, osi kasege ramimo megi'a vahe (Gentiles) tazeri fegi atre'nea kasege ramina eri netreno, Agra'a Jiu vahe'ene megi'a vahemota tazerino magoke vahe tro huneranteno, ke ha'ma nehuna zana tazeri fru huno mago tarimpa hurante'ne.
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]).
Rugeka zafare Kraisi'a frino ha' frama tamagra'rmagra hu'zana eritreno, tamazeri mago higetma, Anumzamofona magoke avufagna hu'naze.
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].
Agra eno rimpa fru huno manizamofo nanekea afete'ma mani'naza vahera mono kea huzmasmi'ne, hagi tava'onte mani'naza vahera rimpa fru huzmante'ne.
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].
Na'ankure Agripinti tarega vahe'mota, magoke Avamu e'nerita, Nerfantera vugahune.
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].
E'i zanku tamagra menina megi'a vahe'mota, emani vahe knara osu'naze. Hianagi tamagra Anumzamofo naga'ene noma'afi nemanize.
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
Aposolo naga'ene kasnampa naga'mo'za, tra' zafagna hu'naze. Krais Jisasi'a Agra nomofo renagentete tra havegna hu'ne.
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].
Agripi ana miko nomofonte, vazinte zafamo'za ome vazinte eme vazinte hiankna hu'za hagera ra hu'za, Ramofo otage mono noma'a efore nehaze.
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.
Tamagra ana nonkna hutma mani'nazageno, Anumzamo'ene Avamu'amo'enena ana nompina mani'ne.
