Ephesians 2
1 And as for you, you were dead in your trespasses and sins.
Lwakutyo aliga mufuye mu bhikayo na mubhibhibhi bhyemwe.
2 It was in these trespasses and sins that you once lived according to the ways of this world. You were living according to the ruler of the authorities of the air, the spirit that is working in the sons of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
Jaliga jilyati kala mwagendaga okulubhana no mwanya gwe chalo chinu. Mwaliga nimugenda kwo kulubha omutangasha wo bhuinga bhwa mulutumba. Gunu nigwo omwoyo gwae unu kakola emilimu mu bhana bhwo bhujabhi. (aiōn g165)
3 Once we all lived among these people, fulfilling the evil desires of our sinful nature, and carrying out the desires of the body and of the mind. We were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of humanity.
Eswe bhona anu kubhwambilo aliga chili amwi mwa bhanu bhatekilishaga. Chaliga nichikumisha ogomubhili no obhwiganilisha bhweswe. Chaliga chili bhobhusimuka bha lisungu lwa bhanu bhandi.
4 But God is rich in mercy because of his great love with which he loved us.
Nawe Nyamuanga ni mwamfu we chigongo kulwelyenda lyae enene linu achendele eswe.
5 While we were dead in trespasses, he made us alive together in Christ—by grace you have been saved.
Omwanya gunu chaliga chili bhafu ku lwe bhikayo bhyeswe, achiletele amwi mubhulame bhuyaya munda ya Kristo. Ni kwe chigongo chakisibhwe.
6 God raised us up together with Christ, and God made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Nyamuanga achisuluye amwi no kuchikola okwikala amwi mulwile munda ya Kristo Yesu.
7 so that in the ages to come he might show to us the immeasurably great riches of his grace expressed in his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
Akolele kutya koleleki omwanya gunu oguja obhone okuchelesha obhunibhi bhunene ku lwe chigongo chae. Kacholesha eswe kwa injila yo bhufula bhwae munda ya Kristo Yesu. (aiōn g165)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this did not come from you, it is the gift of God,
Ku lwechigongo mwachunguhye ku lwelikisha. Na inu itasokele kwiswe. Ni chiyanwa cha Nyamuanga.
9 not from works and so no one may boast.
Itakusokana mu bhikolwa. atajakubhao umwi mwimwe owokwikuya.
10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good deeds that God planned long ago for us, so that we would walk in them.
Kulwokubha eswe chili milimu ja Nyamuanga, chimogelwe mu Kristo Yesu okukola ebhikolwa bhyo bhwana. Nibhikolwa bhinu Nyamuanga ateewo osoka kala ingulu yeswe, koleleki chilibhate mwago.
11 Therefore remember that once you were Gentiles in the flesh. You are called “uncircumcision” by what is called the “circumcision” in the flesh made by human hands.
Kulwejo mwichuke ati kala eyo yaliga mulibhanu bha manyamahanga ku lwa ingulu yo mubhili. Mubhilikilwa bhanu “bhanu mutatendele” kulwachinu echibhilikilwa okutenda kwo mubhili inu eikolwa kwa mabhoko go mwana munu.
12 For at that time you were separated from Christ, foreigners to the people of Israel, strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Kumwanya ogwo yaliga mwauhye na Kristo. Mwaliga mulibhagenyi ku bhanu bha Israel. Yaliga muli bhagenyi ku mulago. Aliga mutana bwiikanyo bhwo mwanya gunu gwajaga. Mwaliga mutana Nyamuanga muchalo.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away from God have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Nawe woli mu Yesu Kristo emwe bhanu kubhwambilo yaliga mulikula na Nyamuanga muletelwe yeyi ku lwa insagama ya Kristo.
14 For he is our peace. He made the two one. By his flesh he destroyed the wall of hostility that divided us.
Kulwokubha omwene niwe omulembe gweswe. Akolele bhabhili okubha umwi. Ku lwomubhili gwae anyamuye indugu yo kusololwa inu yaliga ichisololele, obhusoko.
15 That is, he abolished the law of commandments and regulations so that he might create one new man in himself, and so making peace.
Mbe, asimagisishe ebhilagilo na katungilwe koleleki akole munu umwi munda yae. Nakola omulembe.
16 Christ reconciles both peoples into one body to God through the cross, putting to death the hostility.
Akolele kutya koleleki abhate amwi maijo gabhili ga bhanu bhabhwe mubhili gumwi ku Nyamuanga okulabhila omusabha. Ku lwo musalabha abhuselekele obhusoko.
17 Jesus came and proclaimed peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
Yesu ejile no kulasha omulembe kwimwe emwe bhanu mwaliga mulikula no mulembe na bhanu bhaliga bhali yeyi.
18 For through Jesus we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
Kulwokubha kwa injila ya Yesu eswe bhona bhabhili chili no bhwanya ku Mwoyo umwi okwingila ku Lata. Kulwejo woli, emwe abhanu
19 So then, now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. Instead you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household.
bha bhanyamahanga mutali lindi bhagosoye na bhagenyilindi. Tali muli bhekasi amwi na bhanu mwauhye kulwainsonga ya Nyamuanga na bhakosi munyumba ya Nyamuanga.
20 You have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, and Christ Jesus himself was the cornerstone.
Mumbakilwe ingulu yo musingi gwa jintumwa na bhalagi. Kristo Yesu omwenene aliga alibhuyi ekulu lya kumbali.
21 In him the whole building fits together and grows as a temple in the Lord.
Ku mwene liyumba lyona lyumbakilwe no kubha kuti heyekalu munda ya Latabhugenyi.
22 It is in him that you also are being built together as a dwelling place for God in the Spirit.
Ni munda ya emwe ona mumbakilwe amwi kuti lubhaju lwo kwikala ku Nyamuanga mu Mwoyo.
