Vaefeso 2
1 Kadeni mwavene mwafwili muwumi winu wa chimpungu ndava ya kubela kuyidakila Chapanga kumbudila kwinu Chapanga.
You were dead in the trespasses and sins
2 Lukumbi lula mweatamili kulandana na mtindu uhakau wa mulima wenuwo. Mwavi mwiyidakila chilongosi wa mizuka weuvi na makakala ga kunani, mzuka weukuvalongosa hinu vandu vangamyidakila Chapanga. (aiōn g165)
in which you once walked when you followed the ways of this world and the ruler of the realm of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
3 Na hati, tete tavoha tavili ngati vene kwa kulandana na mnogo uhakau wetivelikwi nawu tatamili mukuhenga kila chechiganisa higa na luhala lwitu. Muhali yeniyo ngati vangi voha taganikiwi ligoga la Chapanga.
Among them we all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, carrying out the desires of our flesh and our impulses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
4 Nambu kwa lipyana lamahele la Chapanga na uganu waki uvaha kwitu,
Yet God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
5 Hati lukumbi lula patakavili tifwili muwumi witu chimpungu ndava ya kumbudila Chapanga atikitili vawumi pamonga na Kilisitu. Kwa ubwina wa Chapanga nyenye musanguliwi.
made us alive together with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses—by grace you have been saved.
6 Mukuwungana na Yesu Kilisitu Chapanga atiyukisi pamonga nayu kutitamika tilongosa pamonga nayu kwenuko kunani kwa Chapanga.
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 Akitili chenichi muni alangisa kwa lusenje lwoha ubwina wa Chapanga uvaha na wakukangasa mu njila ya lipyana laki mukuwungana kwitu na Kilisitu Yesu. (aiōn g165)
so that in the ages to come he might show the surpassing riches of his grace through his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
8 Ndava muni, muubwina wa Chapanga musanguliwi mu njila ya sadika. Yeniyo yihumila lepi na nyenye nambu njombi kuhuma kwa Chapanga.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 Yihumila lepi na lihengu la mundu ndi mundu yeyoha akotoka kujikwiha.
not by works, so that no one may boast.
10 Chapanga atiwumbili tivya vamupya mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu, muni titama wumi wa kuhenga gabwina ngati cheatitendelekili kuhuma kadeni tihamba mu njila yeniyo.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
11 Hinu mukumbuka nyenye kwa kuvelekewa vandu mwanga Vayawudi, mwemkemelewa mwangadumula jandu. Mujandu ya higa yeyikitiwa na mawoko.
Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “the uncircumcision” by those who call themselves “the circumcision,” which is made in the flesh by hands—
12 Lukumbi lula nyenye mwavi changali Kilisitu, mwavi lepi vandu va Isilaeli, mwavi vayehe na mwavi lepi Vayawudi vandu vevahaguliwi na Chapanga mwavi lepi pandu popoha mu lilaganu leavalagazili Chapanga kwa vandu vaki. Mweatamili pamulima vangammanya Chapanga amala huvalila.
remember that you were apart from Christ at that time, excluded from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
13 Nambu hinu, mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu, nyenye penapo kadeni mwavili kutali, muhegelili papipi mu njila ya ngasi yaki Kilisitu.
But now in Christ Jesus you who were once far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 Ndava muni Kilisitu mwene atiletili uteke kwa kuvakita Vayawudi na vangali Vayawudi kuvya vamonga. Kuwusa higa yaki ngati luteta mwene agwisili luhumba lwelukuvalekanganisi na kuvakita makoko.
For he is our peace, who has united both the Jews and Gentiles into one people and has broken down the wall of hostility that divided us.
15 Awusili malagizu gala pamonga na malagizu gaki, muni misambi yivili ya vandu ava vavyai chindu chimonga mukuwungana nayu, aletili uteke kwa njila yeniyo.
He did this by abolishing the law with its commandments and ordinances in order to make peace between the two groups and create in himself one new people.
16 Mu njila ya lifwa laki, Kilisitu pamsalaba ahalabisi umakoko wavi na avawunganisi vandu va makabila ndalindali kuvya vamonga akavaleta kwa Chapanga.
He reconciled both groups to God in one body through the cross, by which he put the hostility to death.
17 Hinu Kilisitu abwelili akakokosa Lilovi la Bwina la uteke kwinu mwemwavili kutali na uteke kwavi vevavi papipi na Chapanga.
He came and preached the good news of peace to you who were far away and to those who were near.
18 Ndava ya gala gehagahengili Kilisitu, tete tavoha Vayawudi na vandu vangali Vayawudi, tihotola kumhambila Dadi mu Mpungu Msopi mmonga.
For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
19 Ndi nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi vayehe lepi kavili, vakolonjinji pamonga na vandu va Chapanga muvi na lukolo lwa vana va Chapanga.
So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
20 Mujengiwi mu mkingisa weuvikiwi na vamitumi na Vamlota va Chapanga, na Yesu Kilisitu mwene ndi liganga likulu la pamhana la mkingisa.
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone.
21 Mwene ndi mweijenga na kuwunganisa loha yiyonjokeseka kuvya Nyumba ya Chapanga ya msopi yeyivikiwa kwa Bambu.
In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
22 Mukuwungana nayu, mewa nyenye mujengiwi pamonga na vandu voha kuvya matamilu ga Chapanga mu njila ya Mpungu Msopi.
And in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God in the Spirit.
