Ephesians 2
1 Formerly, because you were habitually sinning [DOU], you were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as a] corpse [MET] is).
Idinku waxaad ku dhimateen xadgudubyadiinna iyo dembiyadiinna,
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)
kuwaas oo aad markii hore ugu socon jirteen sida socodka wakhtigan iyo sida madaxda xoogga hawada oo ah ruuxa haatan ka dhex shaqaynaya carruurta caasinimada. (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].
Iyaga dhexdooda mar baynu dhammaanteen ku dhaqmi jirnay damacyada jidhkeenna, innagoo samaynayna waxyaalaha jidhka iyo maanku ay doonayaan, oo innaguna xagga dabiicadda waxaynu ka ahayn carruurtii cadhada sida dadka kale.
4 But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much.
Laakiinse Ilaaha naxariista hodanka ka ahu wuxuu inagu jeclaaday jacaylkiisa weyn,
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]
oo sidaas daraaddeed markii aynu xadgudubyadeenna ku dhimannay wuxuu inala soo noolaysiiyey Masiix. Idinku nimco baad ku badbaaddeen.
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,
Oo innagana isagii buu inala soo sara kiciyey, oo wuxuu isagii inala fadhiisiyey meelaha jannada xagga Ciise Masiix,
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)
si uu wakhtiyada imanaya hodantinimada weyn oo nimcadiisa ugu muujiyo roonaanta uu inoogu qabo xagga Ciise Masiix. (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.
Waayo, idinku waxaad ku badbaaddeen nimco xagga rumaysadka, mana aha wax xaggiinna ka yimid,
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.
laakiinse waa hadiyadda Ilaah, mana aha xagga shuqullada, si aan ninna ugu faanin.
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.
Waayo, innagu waxaynu nahay wixii uu sameeyey, oo waxaa laynoogu uumay Ciise Masiix shuqullada wanaagsan aawadood oo Ilaah hore ugu diyaariyey inaynu ku soconno.
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]).
Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed idinku xusuusta inaad waa hore xagga jidhka ka ahaan jirteen dad aan Yuhuud ahayn, oo kuwa gudan la yidhaahdo oo xagga jidhka gacmo lagu guday ay idiinku yeedhi jireen buuryoqab.
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.
Waagaas Masiix baad ka soocnaydeen, oo shisheeyaad ka ahaydeen dawladda reer binu Israa'iil, oo ajanabi baad ka ahaydeen axdiyada ballanka, idinkoo aan rajo lahayn, oo aan dunida Ilaah ku lahayn.
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].
Laakiinse kuwiinna mar hore fogaa, haatan waxaad ku jirtaan Ciise Masiix, oo waxaa laydinku soo dhoweeyey dhiigga Masiixa.
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].
Waayo, isagu waa nabaddeenna, oo waa kan labada mid ka dhigay, oo dumiyey qoqobkii derbiga dhexe,
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].
isagoo jidhkiisii ku buriyey cadownimadii taas oo ah sharciga amarrada ku jira qaynuunnada, inuu isaga qudhiisu labadii isugu abuuro nin cusub, isagoo saas nabad ku samaynaya,
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]).
iyo inuu labadooda oo isku jidh ah Ilaah kula heshiisiiyo xagga iskutallaabta, isagoo halkaas ku dilay cadownimada.
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].
Oo markuu yimid ayuu nabad ku wacdiyey kuwiinnii fogaa, oo kuwii dhowaana nabad buu ku wacdiyey,
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].
waayo, labadeennaba isagaynu Ruux keliya ugu galnaa Aabbaha.
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].
Sidaas daraaddeed idinku mar dambe ma ihidin ajanabiyo iyo shisheeyayaal, laakiinse quduusiintaad isku waddan tihiin, oo waxaad ka mid tihiin reerka Ilaah,
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
oo waxaa laydinka dul dhisay aasaaskii rasuullada iyo nebiyada, oo waxaa dhagaxii geeska ee ugu weynaa idiin ah Ciise Masiix qudhiisa.
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].
Oo dhismaha oo dhammu isaguu si wanaagsan isugu haystaa oo weynaadaa, oo wuxuu Rabbiga u noqdaa macbud quduus ah.
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.
Idinkana isagaa laydinku wada dhisay inaad ahaataan rugtii Ilaah xagga Ruuxa.
