Efèz 2
1 Konsa, nou te vin vivan an nan lè nou te fin mouri nan transgresyon ak peche nou yo.
[Unto] you also—being dead by your offences and sins,
2 Nan sila yo menm, nou te konn mache oparavan yo, selon kous a mond sa a, selon prens a pwisans de lè a, lespri a ki koulye a menm ap aji nan fis a dezobeyisans yo. (aiōn g165)
In which at one time ye walked, according to the age of the world, according to the prince of the authority of the air, of the spirit that now energiseth in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)
3 Pami yo, nou tou te konn viv nan dezi lachè nou, nan satisfè sa dezi lachè a ak lespri a te mande nou fè. Nou te pa lanati, zanfan lakòlè menm jan ak tout lòt yo.
Among whom also, we all, had our behaviour, at one time, in the covetings of our flesh, doing the things desired by the flesh and the mind, and were children, by nature, of anger—even as the rest, —
4 Men Bondye, ki rich an mizerikòd, akoz gran amou Li ke Li te sèvi nan renmen nou an,
But, God, being rich in mercy, by reason of the great love wherewith he loved us,
5 ki menm lè nou te deja mouri nan transgresyon nou yo, Li te fè nou viv ansanm avèk Kris. Pa lagras nou te sove a.
Although we were dead by our offences, gave us life together with the Christ, —by favour, ye have been saved, —
6 Li te leve nou avèk Li, epi te fè nou chita avèk Li nan lye selès yo, nan Kris Jésus,
And raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenlies, in Christ:
7 pou nan tan k ap vini yo, Li ta kapab montre nou richès a gras Li ki pi gran pase tout bagay, nan dousè Li anvè nou nan Jésus Kri. (aiōn g165)
That he might point out, in the oncoming ages, the surpassing riches of his favour in graciousness upon us, in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)
8 Paske se pa lagras ke nou sove atravè lafwa. E sa pa de nou menm, se kado a Bondye a.
For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this [hath come to pass] —not from you, of God, the free-gift!
9 Li pa pa mwayen de zèv yo, pou pèsòn pa kapab vante tèt li.
Not from works, lest anyone should boast.
10 Paske nou se èv Li, kreye an Jésus Kri pou fè bon zèv, ke Bondye te prepare davans pou nou ta kapab mache nan yo.
His, in fact we are—his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus upon a footing of good works, which God prepared beforehand, that, therein, we might walk.
11 Konsa, sonje, ke oparavan, nou menm, pèp etranje nan lachè yo, ki rele “Ensikonsi” pa sila ki rele pwòp tèt yo “Sikonsi” yo, ki fèt nan lachè pa men a lòm,
Wherefore, keep in remembrance—that, at one time, ye, the nations in flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by the so-called Circumcision in flesh, made by hand,
12 sonje ke nou te nan tan sa a separe de Kris, andeyò de kominote Israël la, e etranje selon akò pwomès yo, san espwa, e san Bondye nan mond lan.
That ye were, in that season, separate from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and godless in the world;
13 Men koulye a nan Kris Jésus, nou menm ki te oparavan byen lwen, nou gen tan vin touprè pa san a Kris la.
But, just now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who at one time were afar off, were made nigh in the blood of the Christ;
14 Paske Li menm, Li se lapè nou, ki te fè de gwoup sa yo vin yon sèl, e ki te kraze baryè miray divizyon an,
He, in fact, is our peace—who made both one, and, the enclosing middle-wall, took down,
15 lè L te aboli nan lachè Li, rayisman ki se lalwa kòmandman yo ki te nan tout règ yo, pou nan Li menm, Li ta kapab fè ak de pèp sa yo, yon sèl òm tounèf e konsa etabli lapè.
The enmity, in his flesh—the law of commandments in decrees—bringing to nought, —that, the two, he might create in himself, into one man of new mould, making peace.
16 Konsa, Li ta kapab rekonsilye yo toulède nan yon sèl kò pou Bondye atravè lakwa a, ki te mete rayisman sa a lanmò.
And might fully reconcile them both, in one body, through means of the cross, —slaying the enmity thereby; —
17 “Epi Li te vin preche lapè a nou ki te byen lwen an, e lapè a sila ki te touprè yo.”
And, coming, he announced the glad-message—of peace, unto you, the far off, and peace, unto them that were nigh;
18 Paske atravè Li menm, nou toulède gen aksè nan yon sèl Lespri a Papa a.
Because, through him, we have our introduction—we both—in one Spirit, unto the Father.
19 Konsa, nou pa etranje ak moun deyò ankò, men nou se sitwayen ansanm avèk sen yo, e manm fanmi a lakay Bondye a,
Hence, then—no longer, are ye strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God, —
20 ki te bati sou fondasyon apot ak pwofèt yo, Kris Jésus Li menm kòm wòch la ki fòme ang prensipal la.
Having been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, there being, for chief corner stone, Jesus Christ himself, —
21 Nan Li menm tout kay la bati ansanm, epi ap grandi pou devni yon tanp ki sen nan Senyè a.
In whom, an entire building, in process of being fitly joined together, is growing into a holy shrine in [the] Lord;
22 Nan Li menm, nou osi ap vin bati ansanm pou vini yon kote pou Lespri Bondye a kapab rete.
In whom, ye also, are being builded together, into a habitation of God in Spirit.
