Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Mu thama beno bu luba bafua mu zinzimbala zieno ayi mu masumu meno;
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)
mu mawu beno ludiatila boso buididi ntoto wawu ayi boso buididi Pfumu yi lulendo lu mbimbi, pheve yinsalanga mu batu badi matingu. (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.
Beto mamveto, tuba banga bawu; tuzingila boso bubela zinzinunu zieto zi kinsuni ayi tudukisa luzolo lu nsuni ayi lu mayindu meto. Mu kimutu beto tuba batu bobo zinganzi zi Nzambi zifueti buila banga batu bankaka.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Vayi Nzambi nkua kimvuama mu kiadi mu diambu di luzolo lunneni lolokatuzodila;
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Messiah—by grace you have been saved—
wutuzingisa va kimosi ayi Klisto; beto bobo tuba bafua mu diambu di zinzimbala zieto. Mu nlemvo luvukila.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua,
Wutufulukisa va kimosi ayi niandi ayi wutuvuandisa va kimosi, mu Diyilu, mu Klisto Yesu
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Messiah Yeshua; (aiōn g165)
mu diambu katumonisa mu zitsungi ziela kuiza bunneni bu kimvuama ki nlemvo andi mu diambu di mamboti mandi kuidi beto mu Klisto Yesu. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Bila mu nlemvo luvukila; mu nzila yi minu. Luvulusu beni lusia ba kuidi beno ko vayi didi dikaba di Nzambi.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Bika sia ti mu mavanga luvukila muingi mutu kabika kuandi kukiniemisa.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Bila beto tuidi bivangu biandi; tuvangu mu Klisto Yesu mu diambu di vanganga mavanga mamboti momo Nzambi kakubika tona thama muingi tusadila mawu.
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),
Diawu, lutebuka moyo ti beno luba Bapakanu mu nsuni, baba kulutedilanga batu bakambu zengo kuidi bobo baba tedilanga bazengo. Nzengolo beni yivangimina, mu nitu, mu mioko mi batu.
12 that you were at that time separate from Messiah, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Lutebuka moyo ti mu thangu beni, beno luba bavambana ayi Klisto, lusia ba minsua mu vuanda mu divula di Iseli ko bila luba banzenza mu zinguizani ziozi zivanunu tsila; luba batu basobolo kuidi Nzambi ko bila luba banzenza mu zinguizani zi Nzambi zivanunu tsila; luba batu bakambulu diana ayi bakambulu Nzambi va ntoto.
13 But now in Messiah Yeshua you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Messiah.
Vayi buabu, mu Klisto Yesu; beno lutuama ba thama ayi Nzambi vayi luyikidi bafikama mu diambu di menga matengula Klisto.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Bila niandi ndembama yeto. Niandi wukitula Bayuda ayi Bapakanumutu wumosi ayi niandi wutiolumuna baka ki kithatu kioki kiba vambisa.
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,
Bila mu nsuni andi niandi wuvonda mina va kimosi ayi zithumunu ziandiayi minsiku miandi. Diodi divangimina mu diambu di vanga mu niandi veka mutu wumosi wumona wuntotukila mu batu buadi. Buawu bobo kakotisila ndembama.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
Mu diambu kabaka bu vutudila, mu nzila yi dikulusi, nguizani yi bawu buadi mu nitu yimosi kuidi Nzambi bu kavondila kimbeni kiawu va dikulusi.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Klisto wuyiza ayi wusamuna ndembama kuidi beno luba thama ayi wusamuna ndembama kuidi bobo baba bafikama.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Bila, mu diambu diandi, beto yawu tubeki minsua mu kota kuidi Tata mu Pheve yimosi.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and of the household of God,
Diawu, beno lusiedi diaka banzenza ko voti minkibi ko, vayi lueka buabu basi tsi va kimosi ayi banlongo ayi basi nzo yi Nzambi.
20 being built on the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, Messiah Yeshua himself being the chief cornerstone;
Beno lutungu va yilu fundasio yi bamvuala ayi mimbikudi. Yesu Klisto, niandi ditadi di mfunu di fuma.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Mu niandi nzo yoso yibundusulu va kimosi ayi yilembo yundukamu diambu yiba Nzo yi Nzambi yinlongo mu Pfumu.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Ayi mu niandi, beno lulembo tungulu va kimosi mu diambu lukituka nzo yimvuandanga Nzambi mu Pheve.
