Baefeso 2
1 Kati yelo mwabile mwawile mu'makosa na sambi yinu.
You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
2 Yabile mu'aga kwanza mwatiyenda lingana na nyakati ya ulimwengu huu. Mwabile mwatiboka kwa kunkengama ntawala wa mamlaka ya kumaunde. Ayee nga roho yake yolo apangaye kazi mu, bana ba kuasi. (aiōn g165)
in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
3 Twenga wote twabile nkati ya balo baaminiya kwaa hapo mwanzo. Twabile tupangite kwa namna ya tamaa inoite kwaa ya yega yitu. Twabile twapanga mapenzi ga yega yitu ni ufahamu witu. Twabile kwa asili ya bana ba dhahabu kati benge.
We also all once lived among them 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 Lakini Nnongo ywabile ni rehema yanyansima kwa sababu ya lipendo lyake likolo lyaatupendile twenga.
But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
5 Muda twabile mu'kiwo mu'makosa yitu, atuletya pamope mu'maisha gaayambe nkati ya Kristo. Ni kwa neema kuwa nati lopolelwa.
even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
6 Nnongo kayogolya mpamo ni kutupanga tama pamope mu'pandu pa'kumaunde nkati ya Kristo Yesu.
and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 Apangite nyoo ili muda waisa aweze kutubonekea utajiri nkolo wa neema yake. Utubonekeya twenga alee kwa ndela ya wema wake nkati ya Kristo Yesu. (aiōn g165)
that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)
8 Kwa neema mupangilwe akochopoli kwa ndela ya imani. Na yee iboka kwaa kwitu. Ni zawadi ya Nnongo.
for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 Itokana kwaa ni makowe. Matokeo gake, abile kwaa mundu yumo ywa kujisifu.
not of works, that no one would boast.
10 Kwa sababu twenga twabile kazi ya Nnongo. tuumbilwe mu'Kristo Yesu upanga makowe yanoite. Ni makowe aga ambayo Nnongo agapangite tangu zamani za kale kwaajili yitu, ili tutyange mu'agoo.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
11 Kwa nyo mukumbukye kuwa kunchogo mwabile bandu ba mataifa kwa namna ya yega. Mkemelwa”mbile kwaa ni tohara” kwa chelo chakemelwa tohara ya yega yapangilwe kwa maboko ga bandu.
Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),
12 Kwa muda woo mwabile mwati tengwa na Kristo. Mwabile ageni kwa bandu ba Israeli. Mwabile ageni kwa liagano lya ahadi. Mwabile kwaa ni uhakika wa muda uisile. Mwabile bila Nnongo mu'ulimwengu.
that you 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 Lakini nambeambe mu'Kristo Yesu mwenga ambao kunchogo mwabile kutalu ni Nnongo mpangilwe papipi ni Nnongo kwa mwai ya Kristo.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
14 Kwa mana ywembe nga amani yitu. Apangite abele kuwa yumo. Kwa yega yake atikuuharibu ukuta wa utengano wabile utitenganisha, huo uadui.
For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
15 Kwamba atikuikomesha saliya ya amri na kanuni ili aumbile mundu yumo wayambe nkati yake. Apangite amani.
having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,
16 Apangite nyoo ili kubakwembanisha makundi abele ya bandu kuwa yega yimo kwa Nnongo petya msalaba. Kwa ndela ya msalaba aupangite uadui kuwa kiwo
and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
17 Yesu aisile ni kutangaza amani kwinu mwenga mwabile kutalu ni amani kwa balo babile papipi.
He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
18 Kwa mana kwa ndela ya Yesu twenga abele tubile na nafasi kwa yolo Roho yumo kuyingya kwa Tate.
For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
19 Nyoo bai, mwenga bandu ba mataifa mwasafiri kwaa ni ageni kae. Ila mwa wenyeji pamope ni balo batengwile kwa ajili ya Nnongo ni ajumbe mu'nyumba ya Nnongo.
So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
20 Mchengwilwe nnani ya msingi wa mitume ni manabii. Kristo Yesu mwene abile liwe kolo lya mbembeni.
being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
21 Mu'ywembe lyengo lyoti latikuunganisha pamope ni kukua kati hekalu nkati ya Ngwana.
in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
22 Ni nkati yake mwenga mchengwilwe pamope kati mahali pa tamya pa Nnongo mu'Roho.
in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
