Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Kana muri imi, makanga makafa mukudarika kwenyu nomuzvivi,
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)
izvo zvamaigara mazviri pamaitevera nzira dzenyika ino uye nedzomutongi woushe hwomuchadenga, iwo mweya unoshanda zvino muna avo vasingateereri. (aiōn g165)
3 We also all once lived among 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.
Isu tose taigara pakati pavo pane imwe nguva, tichikudza kuchiva kwenyama yedu yezvivi uye tichitevera zvido zvedu nezvataifunga. Sezvakangoita vamwe vose, pakuzvarwa kwedu takanga tiri vana vokutsamwirwa.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Asi nokuda kworudo rwake rukuru kwatiri, Mwari, iye akapfuma pangoni,
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
akatiita vapenyu muna Kristu kunyange zvedu takanga takafa mukudarika kwedu, makaponeswa nenyasha.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Uye Mwari akatimutsa pamwe chete naKristu akatigarisa kudenga muna Kristu Jesu,
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)
kuitira kuti munguva dzinouya aratidze pfuma yake huru yenyasha dzake, zvichiratidzwa muunyoro hwake kwatiri muna Kristu Jesu. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Nokuti makaponeswa nenyasha, kubudikidza nokutenda, uye izvi hazvibvi kwamuri, chipo chaMwari,
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
kwete namabasa, kuti parege kuva nomunhu anozvikudza.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Nokuti tiri basa raMwari, rakasikwa muna Kristu Jesu kuti tiite mabasa akanaka, akagadzirwa naMwari kare kuti tiaite.
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),
Naizvozvo, rangarirai kuti kare imi veDzimwe Ndudzi pakuzvarwa uye muchinzi “vasina kudzingiswa” naavo vaizviti “vakadzingiswa” (uko kunoitwa pamuviri namaoko avanhu),
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.
rangarirai kuti panguva iyoyo makanga makaparadzaniswa naKristu, musingaverengwi muzvizvarwa zveIsraeri uye muri vatorwa musungano dzechipikirwa, musina tariro uye musina Mwari munyika.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Asi zvino muna Kristu Jesu, imi makanga muri kure kare, makaswededzwa pedyo kubudikidza neropa raKristu.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Nokuti iye pachake ndiye rugare rwedu, akaita kuti vaviri vave chinhu chimwe uye akaparadza mukaha, irwo rusvingo rwokuvengana rwaivaparadzanisa,
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,
nokuparadza munyama yake murayiro, mitemo yacho pamwe chete uye nezvakatemwa. Vavariro yake yakanga iri yokusika maari munhu mumwe chete mutsva kubva pavaviri, naizvozvo aite rugare,
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
uye mumuviri mumwe chete uyu ayananise vaviri ava kuna Mwari kubudikidza nomuchinjikwa, wakaparadza kuvengana kwavo.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Akauya akaparidza rugare kwamuri imi makanga muri kure uye rugare kuna avo vakanga vari pedyo.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Nokuti kubudikidza naye isu tose tinosvika kuna Baba noMweya mumwe chete.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Saka, hamuchisiri vatorwa kana vaeni, asi vagari pamwe chete navanhu vaMwari uye mava veimba yaMwari,
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
makavakwa panheyo dzavapostori navaprofita, naKristu Jesu pachake iye dombo rapakona.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Maari imba yose yakabatanidzwa pamwe chete uye inokura kuti ive temberi tsvene muna She.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Uye maari nemiwo makavakwa pamwe chete kuti muve ugaro hwaMwari muMweya.
