Ephesians 2
1 And you [hath he revived], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Bozalaki bakufi mpo na mabe mpe masumu na bino,
2 In which in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)
oyo bozalaki kosala na kala mpo na kobika bomoi na bino tango bozalaki kotambola kolanda baposa ya mokili oyo, mpe tango bozalaki kolanda mokonzi ya milimo mabe, molimo oyo ezali kosala sik’oyo kati na bato oyo bazangi botosi epai ya Nzambe. (aiōn g165)
3 Among whom also we all had our manner of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Biso nyonso mpe, na kala, tozalaki elongo na bango, tozalaki kotambola kolanda baposa na biso ya nzoto, tozalaki kokokisa nyonso oyo nzoto mpe makanisi na biso ezalaki kotinda biso kosala. Lokola bato mosusu, kanda ya Nzambe esengelaki kokweyela biso mpo na mabe ya bomoto na biso.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Kasi mpo ete Nzambe atondi na mawa mpe alingaki biso na bolingo monene,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )
atako tozalaki bakufi mpo na masumu na biso, akomisaki biso bato ya bomoi elongo na Klisto. Bobikisami nde na ngolu…
6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus:
Kati na Yesu-Klisto, Nzambe asekwisaki biso elongo na Klisto mpe avandisaki biso elongo na Ye na bisika ya Likolo
7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness towards us, through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
mpo na kotalisa na bato ya bikeke oyo esengeli koya na sima, bomengo monene ya ngolu na Ye, oyo alakisaki kati na Yesu-Klisto na nzela ya boboto na Ye epai na biso. (aiōn g165)
8 For by grace are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Pamba te bobikisami nde na ngolu, na nzela ya kondima—mpe yango ewuti na bino te, kasi ezali nde likabo kowuta na Nzambe—
9 Not by works, lest any man should boast.
ezali na nzela ya misala na bino te mpo ete moko te akoka komikumisa.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Solo, tozali mbuma ya mosala ya Nzambe: Akelaki biso kati na Yesu-Klisto mpo ete tosala misala ya malamu oyo Nzambe abongisa wuta kala mpo ete tokokisa yango.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Yango wana, bobosanaka te ete na kala, bozalaki Bapagano kolanda mbotama na bino; mpe bato oyo bamibengaka « bato bakatama ngenga » bazalaki kobenga bino « bato bakatama ngenga te, » atako bazalaki bato bakatama ngenga kati na banzoto na bango na nzela ya mosala ya maboko ya bato.
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Bobosanaka mpe te ete na tango wana, bozalaki ya kokabwana na Klisto, bozangaki makoki ya bana mboka kati na Isalaele, bozalaki bapaya liboso ya boyokani oyo Nzambe alakaki, bozalaki bato bazanga elikya mpe bazanga Nzambe kati na mokili.
13 But now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Kasi sik’oyo, kati na Yesu-Klisto, bino oyo na kala bozalaki mosika, bokomi pene na nzela ya mbeka ya makila ya Klisto.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];
Solo, azali Ye moko kimia na biso: atiaki bomoko kati na Bayuda mpe bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, akweyisaki mir ya bonguna oyo ezalaki kokabola bango,
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances: to make in himself of two one new man, [so] making peace;
alongolaki Mobeko elongo na mitindo mpe malako na yango mpo na kokela, kati na Ye moko, moto ya sika na nzela ya Bayuda mpe bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, na kotia kimia,
16 And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having by it slain the enmity:
mpe mpo na koyokanisa, kati na nzoto se moko, masanga nyonso mibale elongo na Nzambe na nzela ya ekulusu oyo abomaki na yango bonguna oyo ezalaki kati na bango.
17 And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
Ayaki mpe ateyaki kimia epai na bino oyo bozalaki mosika, mpe kimia epai na bato oyo bazalaki pene.
18 For through him we both have an access by one Spirit to the Father.
Pamba te na nzela na Ye, biso mpe bango tokotaka epai ya Tata kati na Molimo moko.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Boye bozali lisusu te bapaya to baleki nzela, kasi bozali nde bankolo mboka elongo na basantu, bozali mpe bato ya libota ya Nzambe.
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner -[stone];
Nzambe akotisi bino kati na ndako oyo moboko na yango ezali bantoma mpe basakoli, mpe Ye moko Yesu-Klisto azali libanga na yango ya motuya mpo na kosimba ndako mobimba.
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together, groweth to a holy temple in the Lord:
Kati na Yesu-Klisto, ndako mobimba esangani malamu mpe ezali kokola mpo ete ekoma Tempelo ya bule kati na Nkolo.
22 In whom ye also are built together, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.
Mpe kati na Ye, bino mpe bozali kotongama lisanga mpo ete bokoma Ndako oyo Nzambe avandaka kati na yango na nzela ya Molimo na Ye.
