< Waefeso 2 >
1 Katya kabhele kamyele mmfuili ni makosa gha thambi sya yhomo.
Also you—being dead in trespasses and sins,
2 Yayele kup'etela agha kuanza mwalotili kulengana ni magono gha ulimwengu obho. Mwayele kulota kwa kufuata mtawala wa mamulaka gha kunani. Eye ndo roho yiaki yhola yaifuanya mbho mubhana bha kuasi. (aiōn )
in which you once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn )
3 Nitete tabhoa kamuandi tayele kujo abha bhabhiamini lepi. Tayela kukeka namuna ya tamaa si baya sa mibhele ya yhoto. Tayela kuketa mapenzi gha mbhele ni ufahamu bhuitu. Tayele kiasili bhana bha ghazabu kujo bhamana.
among whom we also all walked once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath—as also the others,
4 Jobha K'yara mwingi wa rehema kwa upendo wa muene ubhaa wa kutugana tete.
but God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 Magono ghatayele bhafu kup'etela makosa ghitu, atuletili pamonga mu maisha mapya mugati mwa Kristu. Ndo neema ya kuwa tuokolibhu.
even being dead in the trespasses, made us alive together with the Christ (by grace you are saved),
6 K'yara atufufuili pamonga ni kutuketa tutamai pamonga mu mahali kumbinguni mugati mwa Kristu Yesu.
and raised [us] up together, and sat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,
7 Aketili naa ili maghono ghaghihida abhwesyai kututalasya ukifu wa neema ya muene. Akatulasya tete ele kwa njela ya wema wa muene mugati mwa Yesu Kristu. (aiōn )
that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, (aiōn )
8 Kwa neema mmokolibhu kwa njela ya imani. Na eye yahomilihee kwa tete. Ni zawadi ya K'yara.
for by grace you are saved, through faith, and this [is] not of yourselves—[it is] the gift of God,
9 Yitokana hee ni matendo. matokeo ghaki, asiyi mmonga wa kujisifu.
not of works, that no one may boast;
10 Kwa ndabha tete ndo mbhombho ya K'yara tubhombibhu kup'etela Kristu Yesu kuketa mambo ghamana. Ndo matendo agha ambagho K'yara aghapangili tokea muandi kwajia ya tete, ili tugendai kup'etela agha.
for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus on good works, which God prepared before, that we may walk in them.
11 Kwa ele mkombhokai ya kuwa apabahi kamuandi mwayele bhanu bha mataifa kwa namna ya mbhele. Mwikutibhwa “mwamdulili tohara” kwa kela kakikutibhwa tohara ya mbhele yayifanyibhwa ni kibhoko kya binadamu.
For this reason, remember, that you [were] once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,
12 Kwa magono ghala mwayele kujomtengibhu ni Kristu. Mwayele mwabhageni kwa bhanu bhaku Israel. Mwayele mwabhageni mu agano la ahadi. Mwayehee ni uhakika wa magono ghaghihida. Mwayele bila K'yara mu ulimuengu.
that you were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world;
13 Ila henu kup'etela Kristu Yesu muenga ambabho lola mnandi mwayele patali ni K'yara mletibhu papipi ndabha ya muasi wa Kristu.
but now, in Christ Jesus, you being once far off became near in the blood of the Christ,
14 Kwa ndabha muene ndo amani yhitu. Aketili mabhele kuya limongaki mbhele bhuake ahalibu ukuta was utengano about was yele utenganisi bhu, obho ndo uadui.
for He is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of the partition of hostility,
15 Ndabha akomishi sheria ya amuri ni kanuni ya kuwa abhomba munu mmonga mpya mugati mwa muene. Aketili amani.
the enmity in His flesh, having done away [with] the Law of the commands in ordinances, that He might create the two into one new man in Himself, making peace,
16 Aketili naaili kubhapatanisya makundi mabhele gha bhanu kuya mbhele wu mmonga kwa K'yara kup'etela n'salaba. kwa njela ya n'salaba abhosili uadui.
and might reconcile both in one body to God through the Cross, having slain the enmity by it,
17 su ahidili ni kutangasya amani kwa yhomo muenga ya myele patali ni amani ni bhabhayele papipi.
and having come, He proclaimed good news—peace to you—the far-off and the near,
18 Kwa mana ya njela ya Yesu tete tabhoa tabhabhele tuyele ni nafasi kwa Roho mmonga yhola kuyingila kwa Dadi.
because through Him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit to the Father.
19 Efukabhele, muenga bhanu bha bha mataifa ni bhasafari ni bhageni kabh'ele. Ila ndo bhenyeji pamonga Ni bhala bhabhatengibhu kwajia ya K'yara ni bhujumbe kup'etela fyumba sya K'yara.
Then, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the holy ones, and of the household of God,
20 Mjengibhu panani pamsingi ya bhamitume na manabii. Kristu Yessu muene ayele liganga libhaa la kupembeni.
being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being chief corner-[stone],
21 Kup'etela muene lijengo lyoa liunganishibhu pamonga nikukola katya lihekalu mugati mwa Bwana.
in whom all the building fitly framed together increases to a holy temple in the LORD,
22 Ndo mugati muake muenga ninamu mwijengibhwa pamonga katya ndo mahali pakuishi pa K'yara kup'etela Roho.
in whom you also are built together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
