Ndị Efesọs 2
1 Ma unu onwe unu, unu nwụrụ anwụ site na njehie ụzọ na mmehie unu.
And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins,
2 Nke unu biri ndụ nʼime ha mgbe unu na-agbaso ụzọ niile nke ụwa a, na ụzọ onye ọchịchị nke alaeze ikuku, bụ mmụọ ahụ na-arụ ọrụ ugbu a na ndụ ndị ahụ na-enupu isi. (aiōn g165)
in which ye formerly walked after the manner of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that still operates in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)
3 Anyị niile bikwara ndụ anyị nʼetiti ha, nʼoge gara aga, na-emejupụta agụụ nke anụ ahụ mmehie, ma na-agbaso ọchịchọ ya na ebumnuche ya. Nʼihi na site nʼọdịdị anyị, anyị na ndị ọzọ nọ nʼọmụma ikpe ya.
among whom also we were all conversant heretofore in our carnal desires, indulging the appetites of the flesh and of our imaginations; and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.
4 Chineke onye jupụtara nʼobi ebere, maka oke ịhụnanya o nwere nʼebe anyị nọ,
But God being rich in mercy, through his great love wherewith He loved us,
5 mere ka anyị soro Kraịst dịrị ndụ ọzọ; ọ bụladị mgbe anyị bụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼime ajọ omume. Ọ bụ site nʼamara ya ka e ji zọpụta unu.
hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together,
6 Ọ kpọlitere anyị na ya, mee ka anyị nọdụ ọdụ nʼebe niile nke eluigwe nʼime Kraịst Jisọs.
and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
7 O mere nke a igosi ọgbọ nke na-abịa, ịdị ukwuu nke akụ amara ya, nke o sitere nʼobiọma ya gosi anyị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs. (aiōn g165)
That in the ages to come He might shew the superabundant riches of his grace, in his kindness towards us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
8 Nʼihi na ọ bụ site nʼamara ka e ji zọpụta unu site nʼokwukwe. Nke a abụghị ihe unu rụpụtara nʼonwe unu, ọ bụ onyinye nke Chineke.
For by grace ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:
9 O siteghị nʼọrụ, ka onye ọbụla ghara ịnya isi.
for we are his workmanship,
10 Nʼihi na anyị bụ akaọrụ ya, nke o kere nʼime Kraịst Jisọs nʼihi ịrụ ezi ọrụ. Ọ bụ otu a ka Chineke siri kwadoo na anyị kwesiri ibi ndụ ụbọchị niile.
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might walk in them.
11 Ya mere, chetanụ na nʼoge gara aga, unu bụ ndị mba ọzọ site nʼọmụmụ nke a mụrụ unu. Chetakwanụ na “ndị e biri ugwu” na-akpọkwa unu “ndị a na-ebighị ugwu” (nʼihi obibi ugwu nʼanụ ahụ nke eji aka bie).
Wherefore remember that ye were formerly Gentiles in the flesh, called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;
12 Nʼoge ahụ, ọ dịghị ihe jikọtara unu na Kraịst. E kewapụtara unu site na mmekọrịta nke Izrel, bụrụkwa ndị ọbịa nʼọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na-enweghị olileanya na-enweghịkwa Chineke nʼime ụwa.
and ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: but now in Christ Jesus,
13 Ma ugbu a nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, unu bụ ndị nọ nʼebe dị anya nʼoge gara aga, ka e mere ka unu bịaruo nso site nʼọbara Kraịst nke a wụsiri.
ye, who were formerly afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 Nʼihi na ya onwe ya bụ udo anyị, o mere ka ụzọ otu abụọ bụrụ otu ihe nʼime ahụ ya, site na ịkwatu mgbidi kewara ha na mgbe ochie, bụ mgbidi nke ịkpọ asị dị nʼetiti anyị.
For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and removed the wall of partition from between us;
15 Ọ bụ nʼime anụ ahụ ya ka ọ mere ka iwu ahụ na ụkpụrụ ya niile ghara ịdị ire. Ebumnobi ya bụ i kee nʼime onwe ya otu onye ọhụrụ site na mmadụ abụọ ahụ, si otu a mee ka udo dịrị.
having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might form the two into one new man, in Himself, so making peace;
16 Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka ọ ga-esi kpeziere anyị na Chineke site nʼobe ya, wetakwa nʼisi ngwụcha, iro dị nʼetiti ha abụọ.
and that He might reconcile both in one body unto God, by the cross, having thereby slain the enmity:
17 Ya mere, ọ bịara kwusaa udo nye unu ndị nọ ebe dị anya na unu ndị nọ nso,
and He came and preached peace to you that were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 Nʼihi na anyị abụọ sitere nʼaka ya nweta nnabata anyị ịbịa nʼihu Nna site nʼotu Mmụọ ahụ.
For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
19 Matakwanụ ugbu a na unu abụkwaghị ndị mba ọzọ na ndị ọbịa. Unu esorola ndị nsọ bụrụ diala na ndị so nʼezinaụlọ Chineke,
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the houshold of God;
20 nke a rụkwasara nʼelu ntọala nke ndị ozi na ndị amụma, nke Kraịst Jisọs nʼonwe ya bụ nkume isi ntọala ya.
being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone:
21 Ọ bụkwa nʼime ya ka a na-ejikọta ụlọ ahụ niile nke ọma, na-aba ụba, too bụrụ ụlọnsọ, nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
in whom the whole building fitly joined together increaseth to an holy temple in the Lord:
22 Onye a na-ewukọkwa unu onwe unu nʼotu nʼime ya, ka unu niile bụrụ ebe obibi Chineke nʼime Mmụọ.
in whom ye also are built up together for an habitation of God by the Spirit.
