Ephesians 2

1 And you [hath he revived], who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Pea ko kimoutolu, naʻa mou mate ʻi he ngaahi talangataʻa mo e angahala;

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)

‌ʻAia naʻa mou ʻaʻeva ai ʻi muʻa ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻalunga ʻoe māmani, ʻo taau mo e ʻeiki ʻoe mālohi ʻoe ʻatā, ʻae laumālie ʻoku ngāue ni ʻi he fānau talangataʻa: (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.

‌ʻAia naʻa tau fai fakataha ai kotoa pē ʻi muʻa, ʻi he ngaahi holi kovi ʻa hotau kakano, ʻo fai ki he ngaahi holi ʻoe kakano mo e loto; pea ʻi he ʻulungāanga ko e fānau ʻoe houhau, ʻo hangē ko e kakai kotoa pē.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

Ka ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku mohu ʻaloʻofa, ʻi heʻene ʻofa lahi naʻa ne ʻofeina ai ʻakitautolu,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )

‌ʻIo, lolotonga ʻetau mate ʻi he ngaahi angahala, kuo ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu fakataha mo Kalaisi, (kuo mou moʻui ʻi he ʻofa; )

6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus:

Pea kuo ne fokotuʻu hake fakataha, ʻo ne fakanofo ʻakitautolu ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:

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)

Koeʻuhi ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻe haʻu ke ne fakahā hono lahi ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻofa ʻi heʻene angalelei kiate kitautolu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu. (aiōn g165)

8 For by grace are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

He ʻoku mou moʻui ʻi he ʻofa pe ʻi he tui; pea ʻoku ʻikai meiate kimoutolu ia: ka ko e foaki ʻae ʻOtua:

9 Not by works, lest any man should boast.

‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngāue, telia naʻa polepole ai ha tangata.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

He ko ʻene ngāue ʻakitautolu, kuo fakatupu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ki he ngaahi ngāue lelei, ʻaia kuo tomuʻa tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻaʻeva ai ʻakitautolu.

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;

Ko ia manatu, ko e Senitaile fakakakano ʻakimoutolu ʻi muʻa, naʻe ui “ko e Taʻekamu” ʻe ia ʻoku ui ko e Kamu, ʻi he kakano, naʻe fai ʻe he nima;

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:

Koeʻuhi ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻa mou masiva Kalaisi ai, ko e ʻāuhe ʻakimoutolu mei he puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau muli ki he ngaahi fuakava ʻoe talaʻofa, ʻo taʻehaʻamanakilelei, pea taʻemaʻu ʻae ʻOtua ʻi māmani:

13 But now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Ka ko eni, ko e meʻa ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ko kimoutolu naʻe mamaʻo atu ʻi muʻa, kuo fakaofi ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi.

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];

He ko hotau melinoʻanga ia, ʻaia kuo ne ngaohi ʻae ua ke taha pe, pea kuo ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻā vahevahe ʻi loto;

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;

Pea kuo ne ikuna ʻi hono sino ʻae taufehiʻa, ʻio, ʻae fono ʻoe ngaahi fekau [naʻe tuʻu ]ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; ke ne fakatupu ʻiate ia ʻi he ua ʻae tangata foʻou pe taha, pea fakamelino ai;

16 And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having by it slain the enmity:

Pea koeʻuhi ke fakalelei fakatouʻosi pe ki he ʻOtua ʻi he sino pe taha ʻi he ʻakau, kuo ʻosi ʻene tāmateʻi ʻaki ia ʻae taufehiʻa:

17 And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

Pea haʻu ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae melino kiate kimoutolu naʻe mamaʻo atu, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ofi.

18 For through him we both have an access by one Spirit to the Father.

He ko e meʻa ʻiate ia ʻoku tau maʻu fakatouʻosi ʻae hokoʻanga ʻi he Laumālie pe taha ki he Tamai.

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ai ko e kau muli mo e kau ʻāunofo ʻakimoutolu, ka ko e kaunga kolo mo e kāinga māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e fale ʻoe ʻOtua.

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner -[stone];

Pea kuo fokotuʻu ki he tuʻunga ʻae kau aposetolo mo e kau palofita, ko hono fuʻu [maka ]tuliki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi pe;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together, groweth to a holy temple in the Lord:

‌ʻAia ʻoku fehokotaki lelei ai ʻae fale kotoa, pea tupu ia ko e fale māʻoniʻoni ki he ʻEiki:

22 In whom ye also are built together, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

‌ʻAia kuo langa fakataha ai foki ʻakimoutolu, ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he Laumālie.
