Bhaepheso 2
1 Mmanganyanji mwashinkuwanganga kwa ligongo lya yambi yenunji.
And you [did he quicken], when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,
2 Yeneyo imwatendangaga bhukala nkukagulila ikubho ya pa shilambolyo pano, nnikunkagulilanga nkulungwa jwa mashili ga maoka ga kumaunde, lioka atagwala bhandunji bhakakwaakundanga a Nnungu. (aiōn g165)
wherein aforetime ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; (aiōn g165)
3 Numbe nkali tubhowe uwe, bhukalago putwaaliji malinga bhanganyabho, tulitenda indu ilokolilwa na shiilu, tulikagulila ilokoli ya lunda na shiilu, nibha bhana bha nnjmwa ja a Nnungu malinga bhananji.
among whom we also all once lived 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: —
4 Ikabheje a Nnungu bhashikola shiya sha kaje na bhanakutupinga kwa punda,
but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 nkali putwaliji tuwile muilebho yetu, gubhatuyushiye pamo na a Yeshu Kilishitu, yani, tushitapulwa kwa nema ja a Nnungu.
even when we were dead through our trespasses, quickened us together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
6 Nkulundana kwetu na a Yeshu Kilishitu tushiyuywa pamo na bhenebho, nkupinga tukatagwale na bhenebho muupalume gwabho.
and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus:
7 Nkupinga kwa mobha gakwiyago, bhalanguye nema jabho gwangali mpelo kwa uguja gwabho gubhakutupa uwe nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu. (aiōn g165)
that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus: (aiōn g165)
8 Pabha tushigombolwa kwa nema ja a Nnungu kwa ngulupai. Genega gangatendeka kwa tumbilila kwenunji, ikabhe kwa nema ja a Nnungu.
for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
9 Numbe nngabha kwa itendi yenunji mwashayenenji, mundu anakole shakwiiniya.
not of works, that no man should glory.
10 Pabha uwe iumbe ya a Nnungu, kwa lundana kwetu na a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhashinkutupanganya nkupinga tutende ya mmbone, ibhatubhishile a Nnungu kuumila bhukala tuitende.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.
11 Kwa ligongo lya genego, nkumbushilanje kuti mmanganyanji bhukalago, pumwalinginji bhandu bha ilambo ina, pumwashemwangaga bhalenje, na Bhayaudi pubhashemwangaga bhajalukenje, yani kujaluka kwa nshiilu kutendeshe kwa makono ga bhandunji.
Wherefore remember, that aforetime ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;
12 Gene mobha gala nkalinginjiji tome na a Kilishitu, pumwalinginji kwataliya na nkumbi gwa Ishilaeli, bhajeninji bhangalinginji malagano ga malajilo gala. Mwaibhelelenje bhandu bhangalinji sha kulupalila shoshowe, bhandu bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu.
that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
13 Mmanganyanji mwatalikengenenje na a Nnungu, nnaino nshilundanywanga kwa minyai jabho a Kilishitu.
But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.
14 Pabha a Kilishitu bhayene bhashikutupeleshela ulele, ni kututenda tubhe shindu shimo Bhayaudi na bhangabha Bhayaudi. Kwa shiilu shabho gubhabhomwele likumba lyatugebhenye nibhoneka mbuti bhamagongo.
For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,
15 Gubhashoshiye shalia ja a Musha na amuli yakwe na ibhagu yakwe, nkupinga bhaatamikanje pamo bhene bhalinginji makundi gabhili kwa nneyo gubhatendile ulele.
having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twain one new man, [so] making peace;
16 Kwa shiwo shabho munshalabha, a Kilishitu gubhaatamikenje pamo, makabhila gabhili nibha shindu shimo nikwaabhujanabhonji kwa a Nnungu.
and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 Bhai, a Kilishitu gubhaishe kuulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone ja ulele kwenu mmanganyanji mwalinginji bhandu bha ilambo ina nkaabhandishilenjeje a Nnungu, ulele gubhe na Bhayaudi bhalinginji tome na a Nnungu.
and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:
18 Pabha kwa ligongo lya bhenebho, uwe tubhowe Bhayaudi na bhangabha Bhayaudi tunakombola kwaabhandishila Atati, Mmbumu jumo.
for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Bhai, kuumila nnaino, mmanganyanji nngabha mmajeninji eu bhapitanga mpanda, ikabhe mmashilambo pamo na bhandunji bha ukonjelo, bhandu bha likaja lya a Nnungu.
So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,
20 Punninginji malinga nyumba jishenjilwe ukoto na mitume na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu na a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayene ni liganga likulu lya pandumba.
being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;
21 Nkulundana na Bhenebho nyumba jowe jinakamulana nibha mbuti liekalu lya ukonjelo lya Bhakulungwa.
in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;
22 Nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu, na mmanganyanji nnashimilikwanga pamo na bhananji, mmanganje ndamo ja a Nnungu kupitila Mbumu jwabho.
in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
