Efézusiakhoz 2
1 Titeket is megelevenített, a kik holtak valátok a ti vétkeitek és bűneitek miatt,
Formerly, because you were habitually sinning [DOU], you were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as a] corpse [MET] is).
2 Melyekben jártatok egykor e világ folyása szerint, a levegőbeli hatalmasság fejedelme szerint, ama lélek szerint, mely most az engedetlenség fiaiban munkálkodik; (aiōn g165)
You were acting in the same [evil] way as those who oppose Christ [MTY] act. That is, you were behaving in the [evil] ways [that Satan wanted you to behave]. He rules over evil spiritual beings that no person can see [MTY]. He is the spirit who now powerfully controls the people who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
3 A kik között forgolódtunk egykor mi is mindnyájan a mi testünk kívánságaiban, cselekedvén a testnek és a gondolatoknak akaratját, és természet szerint haragnak fiai valánk, mint egyebek is:
Formerly, we all used to disobey God as they do. We did the things that our self-centered nature wanted us to do. We habitually did those [evil] deeds that our bodies and our minds wanted to do. When we were acting like that, it was certain that [God] would punish [MTY] us, just like he will certainly punish all other [evil people].
4 De az Isten gazdag lévén irgalmasságban, az Ő nagy szerelméből, melylyel minket szeretett,
But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much.
5 Minket, kik meg voltunk halva a vétkek miatt, megelevenített együtt a Krisztussal, (kegyelemből tartattatok meg!)
As a result, even when we were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as] a corpse [MET] is) because we were habitually sinning, he enabled us to receive [spiritual]/[eternal] life because of our relationship with Christ. [Do not forget this: It is only] because God has acted so kindly toward you, in a way that you did not deserve, that you are saved {that [he] saved you} [from the guilt of your sin]
6 És együtt feltámasztott és együtt ültetett a mennyekben, Krisztus Jézusban:
And [it is as though] God gave us spiritual life when he caused Christ Jesus to be alive again after he died [MET]. And [it is as though] God caused us to sit [and rule] [MTY] with him in heaven,
7 Hogy megmutassa a következendő időkben az Ő kegyelmének felséges gazdagságát hozzánk való jóságából a Krisztus Jézusban. (aiōn g165)
in order that he might show to everyone at all times in the future that he has acted toward us in an extremely kind way because of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. (aiōn g165)
8 Mert kegyelemből tartattatok meg, hit által; és ez nem tőletek van: Isten ajándéka ez;
It is [only] by [God] acting [PRS] [toward you] in a way that you did not deserve that you have been saved {that he has saved you} as a result of your trusting [in Christ]. You did not save yourselves. His saving you was his gift to you.
9 Nem cselekedetekből, hogy senki ne kérkedjék.
He did not save any of you because of anything you yourselves did. Because you have done nothing [to save yourselves], you cannot be proud of your efforts to save yourselves.
10 Mert az Ő alkotása vagyunk, teremtetvén Általa a Krisztus Jézusban jó cselekedetekre, a melyeket előre elkészített az Isten, hogy azokban járjunk.
It is God who has made us what we are now. Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, he has enabled us to receive [spiritual/eternal] life in order that we should conduct our lives habitually doing the good deeds that God previously planned for us to do.
11 Annakokáért emlékezzetek meg arról, hogy egykor ti a testben pogányok, kiket körülmetéletlenségnek nevez vala amaz úgynevezett s a testen kézzel megcsinált körülmetélkedés,
You [Ephesians] have been non-Jews from the time that you were born. The Jews ([insult you/say that you are not God’s people]) [by] calling you ‘those who are not circumcised’. They [proudly] call themselves ‘we [(exc)] who are circumcised’. [They have allowed people to] circumcise [them to indicate that they are God’s people, but] that has [only] changed their bodies, [not their] ([inner beings/hearts]).
12 Hogy ti, mondom, abban az időben Krisztus nélkül valók voltatok, Izráel társaságától idegenek, és az ígéret szövetségeitől távolvalók, reménységetek nem vala, és Isten nélkül valók voltatok e világon;
You should constantly remember these things: Formerly you did not have any relationship with Christ. You did not belong to the people of Israel, [the people whom God chose]. You did not know about the things God promised in his agreements [with his people]. You did not confidently expect to go to heaven after you die (OR, [that God would save you]). You [lived] in this world without knowing God.
13 Most pedig a Krisztus Jézusban ti, kik egykor távol valátok, közelvalókká lettetek a Krisztus vére által.
But now, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, God has brought you, who had no relationship with him [MET], into his family [MET]. He did that because [you trusted in what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed from his body when he died on the cross].
14 Mert Ő a mi békességünk, ki egygyé tette mind a két nemzetséget, és lerontotta a közbevetett választófalat,
Christ himself [has caused us Jewish and non-Jewish believers] to have peace [with each other]. He has made both [of our groups] to become one [group]. [Just like people] (tear down/demolish) a wall that separates [groups of people] [MET], he has destroyed the hatred [between Jews and non-Jews].
15 Az ellenségeskedést az Ő testében, a parancsolatoknak tételekben való törvényét eltörölvén; hogy ama kettőt egy új emberré teremtse Ő magában, békességet szerezvén;
By dying [MTY] [for us on the cross] he made it no longer [necessary for us to obey] all the [Jewish] laws and rituals [in order to be saved]. He did that in order to enable the two [groups] to become one new group because of our relationship with him. The result was that he has caused us to have peace [with each other].
16 És hogy megbékéltesse az Istennel mind a kettőt, egy testben a keresztfa által, megölvén ezen az ellenségeskedést.
By [dying on] the cross [MTY] he caused both Jews and non-Jews to have a peaceful relationship with God. That is how he caused us to no longer be [MET] enemies [with God] (OR, [with each other]).
17 És eljövén, békességet hirdetett néktek, a távol valóknak és a közel valóknak.
He came [to earth] and proclaimed that you [non-Jews], who did not have a relationship with [MET] [God], and [us(exc) Jews], who [considered that we(exc) belonged to] [MET] God’s [family], can [all] now have peace [with God].
18 Mert Ő általa van menetelünk mindkettőnknek egy Lélekben az Atyához.
[We know that he has done that] because we both, [Jews and non-Jews], are [now] able to approach God the Father in prayer by the help of his Spirit, because of what Christ [has done].
19 Azért immár nem vagytok jövevények és zsellérek, hanem polgártársai a szenteknek és cselédei az Istennek,
So [God no longer treats] you [non-Jews] as [people treat] [MET] foreigners and strangers [who live among them] [MET]. Instead, along with all God’s people, [it is as though] you have become citizens of a country that he rules over, and [as though you have become] members of the family [of which he is the father] [MET].
20 Kik fölépíttettetek az apostoloknak és prófétáknak alapkövén, lévén a szegletkő maga Jézus Krisztus,
[Just like] a building is built {[as someone] builds a building} on a foundation, [God has joined you into one group that originated/began] from what the apostles and prophets [taught]. Christ Jesus is the [most important one in that group, just like a] cornerstone [is the most important part of a building]. And
21 A kiben az egész épület szép renddel rakattatván, nevekedik szent templommá az Úrban;
just like [a builder might] join together all the parts of a building to make it a temple that [people will] dedicate to the Lord [MET], [Christ is continually causing all of] you who have a relationship with [him to be united, in order that you will become one holy group].
22 A kiben ti is együtt építtettek Isten hajlékává a Lélek által.
And because of your relationship with Christ, [God] is joining you [non-Jews] together with [Jewish believers] to be [like] one building [MET] in which his Spirit lives.
