< Ephesians 2 >
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Areꞌ xyoꞌw ikꞌaslemal are ix kaminaq kanoq pa taq ri iwetzelal xuqujeꞌ ri imak.
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 )
Che riꞌ are je xixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri karaj ri uwachulew are xibꞌan rech ri kataqan pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, jeꞌ jas ri uxlabꞌal ri kataqan pa kanimaꞌ ri winaq ri man keniman ta che ri Dios. (aiōn )
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.
Qonojel je xujnoꞌjin kan nabꞌe, are xqabꞌan ri karaj ri qatyoꞌjal are xqabꞌan ri itzel taq qarayinik. Uj ralkꞌwaꞌl oyawal jetaq ri nikꞌaj winaq chik ri maj Dios kukꞌ.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Ri Dios kꞌut rumal ri jeꞌlalaj utoqꞌobꞌsan wach xuqujeꞌ ri uloqꞌanik chaqe,
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
pune uj kaminaq pa ri qamak xuya qakꞌaslemal are kaminaq junam rukꞌ ri Cristo, xa rumal ri toqꞌobꞌ xixkolotajik.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Xujukꞌastajisaj xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ Areꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xujutꞌuyubꞌa pa ri chikajil kꞌolibꞌal pa Cristo Jesús,
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn )
rech pa ri qꞌotaj ri petinaq kukꞌut na ri ujeꞌlal ri unimal ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri xutixixej pa qawiꞌ pa Cristo Jesús. (aiōn )
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Xaq pa toqꞌobꞌ xixkolotajik, rumal ri ikojobꞌal, man rukꞌ ta ichuqꞌabꞌ, xane xaq usipanik ri Dios.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Man rumal ta chak rech maj jun kunaꞌ nimal.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Rumal cher are ri Dios xujtikowik pa Cristo Jesús, rech kaqabꞌan utza taq chak, ri rajawam loq ri Dios ojer.
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),
Xaq jeriꞌ naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi ri ix man ix aꞌj Israel taj, man kojtal ta iwetal, jeriꞌ kakibꞌij chiꞌwe ri winaq ri kojtal ketal are wa ri bꞌantal rukꞌ uqꞌabꞌ winaq.
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.
Che ri qꞌotaj riꞌ naj ix kꞌo wi che ri Cristo, man ix aꞌj Israel taj, naj ix kꞌo wi che ri bꞌiꞌtal kanoq, maj ikuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta ri Dios iwukꞌ.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Kamik kꞌut pa Cristo ix ri naj ix kꞌo wi kanoq xixkꞌam apanoq rumal ri ukikꞌel ri Cristo.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Rumal cher are qajaꞌmaril ri Cristo, rumal xa jun xubꞌan chike ri e kebꞌ tinimit, xuwulij ri qꞌatebꞌal ri xaq kukoj chꞌoꞌj chikixoꞌl.
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,
Xuchup ri qꞌatoj tzij ri kubꞌan ri taqanik xubꞌan jaꞌmaril chikixoꞌl ri kebꞌ tinimit, rumal xraj xubꞌan xa jun kꞌakꞌ tinimit chike, rech jeriꞌ xujeqebꞌa ri jaꞌmaril.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
Rech kuꞌtzir rukꞌ ri Dios kikobꞌchal tinimit, pa jun tyoꞌjal cho ri ripbꞌal, jawjeꞌ ri xukamisaj wi ri bꞌanoj kꞌulel.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Xpetik xulutzijoj jaꞌmaril chiꞌwe ri naj ix kꞌo wi, xuqujeꞌ chike ri naqaj e kꞌo wi.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Rumal cher rumal ri Cristo yaꞌtal bꞌe chaqe kujok rukꞌ ri Tataxel rukꞌ ri utobꞌanik ri Uxlabꞌixel.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Rumal riꞌ etaꞌmatal chi iwach, man naj ta chik kixpe wi, xane xa ix jun chi kukꞌ ri winaq ri e chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios, ix tyoxalaj taq winaq ix kachiꞌl ri uwinaq ri Dios.
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
Chixkꞌol puꞌwiꞌ ri takꞌalibꞌal ri xkikoj ri e taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios. We abꞌaj ri qas kꞌo kutayij are Jesús.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Ri ja ri takꞌal pa Cristo sibꞌalaj utz bꞌantal che uyakik, tajin kawaꞌjilik rech kux jun templo qꞌijilaꞌbꞌal rech ri Ajawxel.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Ix xuqujeꞌ kixyak pa Cristo rech kixux rachoch ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Dios.
