Ephesians 2
1 To you Gentiles also, who were dead through your offences and sins,
Katya kabhele kamyele mmfuili ni makosa gha thambi sya yhomo.
2 which were once habitual to you while you walked in the ways of this world and obeyed the Prince of the powers of the air, the spirits that are now at work in the hearts of the sons of disobedience--to you God has given Life. (aiōn g165)
Yayele kup'etela agha kuanza mwalotili kulengana ni magono gha ulimwengu obho. Mwayele kulota kwa kufuata mtawala wa mamulaka gha kunani. Eye ndo roho yiaki yhola yaifuanya mbho mubhana bha kuasi. (aiōn g165)
3 Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.
Nitete tabhoa kamuandi tayele kujo abha bhabhiamini lepi. Tayela kukeka namuna ya tamaa si baya sa mibhele ya yhoto. Tayela kuketa mapenzi gha mbhele ni ufahamu bhuitu. Tayele kiasili bhana bha ghazabu kujo bhamana.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us,
Jobha K'yara mwingi wa rehema kwa upendo wa muene ubhaa wa kutugana tete.
5 caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ--it is by grace that you have been saved--
Magono ghatayele bhafu kup'etela makosa ghitu, atuletili pamonga mu maisha mapya mugati mwa Kristu. Ndo neema ya kuwa tuokolibhu.
6 raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus,
K'yara atufufuili pamonga ni kutuketa tutamai pamonga mu mahali kumbinguni mugati mwa Kristu Yesu.
7 in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace. (aiōn g165)
Aketili naa ili maghono ghaghihida abhwesyai kututalasya ukifu wa neema ya muene. Akatulasya tete ele kwa njela ya wema wa muene mugati mwa Yesu Kristu. (aiōn g165)
8 For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves. It is God's gift, and is not on the ground of merit--
Kwa neema mmokolibhu kwa njela ya imani. Na eye yahomilihee kwa tete. Ni zawadi ya K'yara.
9 so that it may be impossible for any one to boast.
Yitokana hee ni matendo. matokeo ghaki, asiyi mmonga wa kujisifu.
10 For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise.
Kwa ndabha tete ndo mbhombho ya K'yara tubhombibhu kup'etela Kristu Yesu kuketa mambo ghamana. Ndo matendo agha ambagho K'yara aghapangili tokea muandi kwajia ya tete, ili tugendai kup'etela agha.
11 Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised--their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.
Kwa ele mkombhokai ya kuwa apabahi kamuandi mwayele bhanu bha mataifa kwa namna ya mbhele. Mwikutibhwa “mwamdulili tohara” kwa kela kakikutibhwa tohara ya mbhele yayifanyibhwa ni kibhoko kya binadamu.
12 At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world.
Kwa magono ghala mwayele kujomtengibhu ni Kristu. Mwayele mwabhageni kwa bhanu bhaku Israel. Mwayele mwabhageni mu agano la ahadi. Mwayehee ni uhakika wa magono ghaghihida. Mwayele bila K'yara mu ulimuengu.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were so far away have been brought near through the death of Christ.
Ila henu kup'etela Kristu Yesu muenga ambabho lola mnandi mwayele patali ni K'yara mletibhu papipi ndabha ya muasi wa Kristu.
14 For He is our peace--He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,
Kwa ndabha muene ndo amani yhitu. Aketili mabhele kuya limongaki mbhele bhuake ahalibu ukuta was utengano about was yele utenganisi bhu, obho ndo uadui.
15 by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man,
Ndabha akomishi sheria ya amuri ni kanuni ya kuwa abhomba munu mmonga mpya mugati mwa muene. Aketili amani.
16 thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross--slaying by it their mutual enmity.
Aketili naaili kubhapatanisya makundi mabhele gha bhanu kuya mbhele wu mmonga kwa K'yara kup'etela n'salaba. kwa njela ya n'salaba abhosili uadui.
17 So He came and proclaimed good news of peace to you who were so far away, and peace to those who were near;
su ahidili ni kutangasya amani kwa yhomo muenga ya myele patali ni amani ni bhabhayele papipi.
18 because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father.
Kwa mana ya njela ya Yesu tete tabhoa tabhabhele tuyele ni nafasi kwa Roho mmonga yhola kuyingila kwa Dadi.
19 You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons excluded from civil rights. On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people and are members of His family.
Efukabhele, muenga bhanu bha bha mataifa ni bhasafari ni bhageni kabh'ele. Ila ndo bhenyeji pamonga Ni bhala bhabhatengibhu kwajia ya K'yara ni bhujumbe kup'etela fyumba sya K'yara.
20 You are a building which has been reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself,
Mjengibhu panani pamsingi ya bhamitume na manabii. Kristu Yessu muene ayele liganga libhaa la kupembeni.
21 in union with whom the whole fabric, fitted and closely joined together, is growing so as to form a holy sanctuary in the Lord;
Kup'etela muene lijengo lyoa liunganishibhu pamonga nikukola katya lihekalu mugati mwa Bwana.
22 in whom you also are being built up together to become a fixed abode for God through the Spirit.
Ndo mugati muake muenga ninamu mwijengibhwa pamonga katya ndo mahali pakuishi pa K'yara kup'etela Roho.
