Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Ŵanyamwe kalakala mwaliji ŵawe mu utame wa mmbumu kwa ligongo lya ungaajitichisya Akunnungu ni sambi syenu.
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
Katema ko mwatemi malinga ni wende wangalimate wa ŵandu ŵa chilambo chino. Mwampilikanichisye jwankulu jwa masoka ga machili jwa kwiunde, lisoka lyalikwatawala sambano ŵandu ŵangakwajitichisya Akunnungu. (aiōn g165)
3 We also all once lived amongst them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
Kalakala, noweji twaliji mpela ŵelewo. Twatemi kwakukuya tama syangalumbana sitwapagwile nasyo ni kutendekanya yeila pe yakuinonyelesya iilu ni lunda lwetu. Kwa ligongo lya kulandana kwetu nkupagwa, twaŵajilwe kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu mpela ŵandu ŵane.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Nambo Akunnungu ali ŵa chanasa chachijinji, ŵatunonyele uweji kwa unonyelo wao wekulungwa,
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
namose patwaliji mpela tuwile mu utame wetu wa chimbumu, kwa ligongo lya sambi syetu, Akunnungu ŵatutesile ŵajumi pamo ni Kilisito. Kwayele tukulupwiswe kwa upile wa Akunnungu.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Kwa kulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito, Akunnungu atusyusisye pamo nawo kuti tukatawale pamo nawo kwinani.
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)
Ŵatesile yeleyo kuti alosye umbone wao wekulungwa wangaukupimika kwa iŵelesi yose ichiiche kwa litala lya unonyelo wakwe nkulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Pakuŵa, kwa umbone wa Akunnungu, nkulupwiche kwa litala lya chikulupi. Chelecho ngachikutyochela kukwenu mwachinsyene nambo uli ntuuka wa Akunnungu.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Ngaŵa kwa ipanganyo yenu, kwayele mundu jwalijose akalikusya kwa chachili chose.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Akunnungu atugumbile ni kuŵa ŵasambano, ni kwa kulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito, ŵatugumbile kuti tutame ni kupanganya yambone yaiŵichikwe chile ni Akunnungu tuipanganye.
11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),
Nipele nkumbuchile imwatite pakuŵa kalakala ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵankuŵilanjikwa ŵangaumbala ni Ŵayahudi ŵakuliŵilanga ŵaumbele, kwa ligongo lya chindu chachitendekwe ni ŵandu mu iilu yao.
12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Kele katema ko mwaliji ngankwamanyilila Kilisito, ŵanyamwe mwasapulikwe kutyochela mu Ŵaisilaeli ŵaŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu. Mwaliji achalendo pasikati jao. Nganinkola chachili chose pa chilanga cha Akunnungu chiŵachilanjile kwa ŵandu ŵakwe ni mwatemi pachilambo pangali chilolelo ni kwamanyilila Akunnungu.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Nambo sambano, nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu, ŵanyamwe umwaliji kwakutalika kalakala, nli pachiŵandi kwa litala lya miasi ja Kilisito.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Pakuŵa Kilisito nsyene atujigalile chitendewele chakwatenda Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuŵa ŵamo. Kwa litala lya kuchityosya chiilu chao mpela sadaka, ŵautyosisye umagongo uwaliji nkwalekanganya mpela likumba pasikati jao.
15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,
Ŵelewo ŵagatyosisye Malajisyo ga Chiyahudi pamo ni majiganyo gakwe kuti ŵaatende Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuŵa ŵamo nkulumbikana nawo, ni kwa kutenda yele ŵachiichenawo chitendewele.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
Kwa kuchityosya chiilu chakwe mpela sadaka pa nsalaba, Kilisito aujonasile umagongo wao. Kwa nsalaba ajitesile mipingo jiŵili jo kuŵa ŵamo ni kwajilanya ni Akunnungu.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Nipele, Kilisito ŵaiche kukulalichila Ngani Jambone ja chitendewele kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ŵandi kwakutalikangana ni Akunnungu ni kwa Ŵayahudi ŵaali chiŵandi ni Akunnungu.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Pakuŵa kutyochela ni aila yaitesile Kilisito, uweji wose, Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, tukukombola kwajaulila Atati kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jumo.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Nipele chitandile sambano, ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nganimma achalendo sooni namose nganimma ŵakupita. Sambano ndi ŵandu ŵa nnango umo pamo ni ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, ni sooni ŵaali mu nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
Iyoyo ŵanyamwe ntaŵikwe pa nsingi wauŵichikwe ni achinduna ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni Che Yesu Kilisito asyene lili luchanamila lwekulungwa lwakwimichila nyuumba.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Ŵelewo ni ŵakujilumbikanya nyuumba jose ni kujikusya mpaka jiŵe Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jajiswela jajityosyekwe kwa ligongo lya Ambuje.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, nomwe ŵakwe nkutaŵikwa pamo ni ŵandu ŵane wose, mme pakutama pao Akunnungu kwa litala lya Mbumu jwakwe.
