Ephesians 2
1 You yourselves were once dead because of your offences and sins.
Areꞌ xyoꞌw ikꞌaslemal are ix kaminaq kanoq pa taq ri iwetzelal xuqujeꞌ ri imak.
2 For at one time you lived in sin, following the ways of the world, in subjection to the Ruler of the Powers of the air — the Spirit who is still at work among the disobedient. (aiōn g165)
Che riꞌ are je xixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri karaj ri uwachulew are xibꞌan rech ri kataqan pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, jeꞌ jas ri uxlabꞌal ri kataqan pa kanimaꞌ ri winaq ri man keniman ta che ri Dios. (aiōn g165)
3 And it was among them that we all once lived our lives, indulging the cravings of our earthly nature, and carrying out the desires prompted by that earthly nature and by our own thoughts. Our very nature exposed us to the Divine Wrath, like the rest of mankind.
Qonojel je xujnoꞌjin kan nabꞌe, are xqabꞌan ri karaj ri qatyoꞌjal are xqabꞌan ri itzel taq qarayinik. Uj ralkꞌwaꞌl oyawal jetaq ri nikꞌaj winaq chik ri maj Dios kukꞌ.
4 Yet God, in his abundant compassion, and because of the great love with which he loved us,
Ri Dios kꞌut rumal ri jeꞌlalaj utoqꞌobꞌsan wach xuqujeꞌ ri uloqꞌanik chaqe,
5 even though we were ‘dead’ because of our offences, gave Life to us in giving Life to the Christ. (By God’s loving-kindness you have been saved.)
pune uj kaminaq pa ri qamak xuya qakꞌaslemal are kaminaq junam rukꞌ ri Cristo, xa rumal ri toqꞌobꞌ xixkolotajik.
6 And, through our union with Christ Jesus, God raised us with him, and caused us to sit with him on high,
Xujukꞌastajisaj xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ Areꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xujutꞌuyubꞌa pa ri chikajil kꞌolibꞌal pa Cristo Jesús,
7 in order that, by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus, he might display in the ages to come the boundless wealth of his loving-kindness. (aiōn g165)
rech pa ri qꞌotaj ri petinaq kukꞌut na ri ujeꞌlal ri unimal ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri xutixixej pa qawiꞌ pa Cristo Jesús. (aiōn g165)
8 For it is by God’s loving-kindness that you have been saved, through your faith. It is not due to yourselves; the gift is God’s.
Xaq pa toqꞌobꞌ xixkolotajik, rumal ri ikojobꞌal, man rukꞌ ta ichuqꞌabꞌ, xane xaq usipanik ri Dios.
9 It is not due to obedience to Law, lest any one should boast.
Man rumal ta chak rech maj jun kunaꞌ nimal.
10 For we are God’s handiwork, created, by our union with Christ Jesus, for the good actions in doing which God had pre-arranged that we should spend our lives.
Rumal cher are ri Dios xujtikowik pa Cristo Jesús, rech kaqabꞌan utza taq chak, ri rajawam loq ri Dios ojer.
11 Remember, therefore, that you were once Gentiles yourselves, as your bodies showed; you were called ‘The Uncircumcised’ by those who were called ‘The Circumcised’ — circumcised only by the hand of man!
Xaq jeriꞌ naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi ri ix man ix aꞌj Israel taj, man kojtal ta iwetal, jeriꞌ kakibꞌij chiꞌwe ri winaq ri kojtal ketal are wa ri bꞌantal rukꞌ uqꞌabꞌ winaq.
12 Remember that you were at that time far from Christ; you were shut out from the citizenship of Israel; you were strangers to the Covenants founded on God’s Promise; you were in the world without hope and without God.
Che ri qꞌotaj riꞌ naj ix kꞌo wi che ri Cristo, man ix aꞌj Israel taj, naj ix kꞌo wi che ri bꞌiꞌtal kanoq, maj ikuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta ri Dios iwukꞌ.
13 But now, through your union with Christ Jesus, you who once were ‘far off’ have, by the shedding of the blood of the Christ, been brought ‘near.’
Kamik kꞌut pa Cristo ix ri naj ix kꞌo wi kanoq xixkꞌam apanoq rumal ri ukikꞌel ri Cristo.
14 He it is who is our Peace. He made the two divisions of mankind one, broke down the barrier that separated them,
Rumal cher are qajaꞌmaril ri Cristo, rumal xa jun xubꞌan chike ri e kebꞌ tinimit, xuwulij ri qꞌatebꞌal ri xaq kukoj chꞌoꞌj chikixoꞌl.
15 and in his human nature put an end to the cause of enmity between them — the Law with its injunctions and ordinances — in order to create, through union with himself, from Jew and Gentile, one New Man and thus make peace.
Xuchup ri qꞌatoj tzij ri kubꞌan ri taqanik xubꞌan jaꞌmaril chikixoꞌl ri kebꞌ tinimit, rumal xraj xubꞌan xa jun kꞌakꞌ tinimit chike, rech jeriꞌ xujeqebꞌa ri jaꞌmaril.
16 And when, upon the cross, he had destroyed their mutual enmity, he sought by means of his cross to reconcile them both to God, united in one Body.
Rech kuꞌtzir rukꞌ ri Dios kikobꞌchal tinimit, pa jun tyoꞌjal cho ri ripbꞌal, jawjeꞌ ri xukamisaj wi ri bꞌanoj kꞌulel.
17 He came with the Good News of peace for you who were ‘far off,’ and of peace for those who were ‘near’;
Xpetik xulutzijoj jaꞌmaril chiꞌwe ri naj ix kꞌo wi, xuqujeꞌ chike ri naqaj e kꞌo wi.
18 for it is through him that we, the Jews and the Gentiles, united in the one Spirit, are now able to approach the Father.
Rumal cher rumal ri Cristo yaꞌtal bꞌe chaqe kujok rukꞌ ri Tataxel rukꞌ ri utobꞌanik ri Uxlabꞌixel.
19 It follows, then, that you are no longer strangers and aliens, but are fellow-citizens with Christ’s People and members of God’s Household.
Rumal riꞌ etaꞌmatal chi iwach, man naj ta chik kixpe wi, xane xa ix jun chi kukꞌ ri winaq ri e chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios, ix tyoxalaj taq winaq ix kachiꞌl ri uwinaq ri Dios.
20 You have been built up upon the foundation laid by the Apostles and Prophets, Christ Jesus himself being ‘the corner-stone.’
Chixkꞌol puꞌwiꞌ ri takꞌalibꞌal ri xkikoj ri e taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios. We abꞌaj ri qas kꞌo kutayij are Jesús.
21 United in him, every part of the building, closely joined together, will grow into a Temple, consecrated by its union with the Lord.
Ri ja ri takꞌal pa Cristo sibꞌalaj utz bꞌantal che uyakik, tajin kawaꞌjilik rech kux jun templo qꞌijilaꞌbꞌal rech ri Ajawxel.
22 And, through union in him, you also are being built up together, to be a dwelling-place for God through the Spirit.
Ix xuqujeꞌ kixyak pa Cristo rech kixux rachoch ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Dios.
