1 Pamakashu mwenga muweriti gambira muhowa toziya ya vidoda vyamtenditi.
AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Mushipindi shilii mwenga mulikaliti kugendera njira zya vidoda vya wantu wa pasipanu ntambu yaviwera, mwenga mjimiliti ukolamlima wa washamshera yawawera na makakala wa kulyera. Washamshera yawawatenda vinu wantu waleki kumjimira Mlungu. (aiōn g165)
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)
3 Ntambu yatuwera, twoseri twenga tuweriti gambira womberi na tulikaliti kulawirana na lumatamata lwatwenga lya pasipanu na kutenda hera vitwatira vyaviherepeziyiti nshimba na mahala getu. Twenga tulifaniti na womberi, su tufiriwitwi tutabisiwi na maya ga Mlungu.
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 Kumbiti Mlungu ndo kana lusungu nentu. Katufiriti kwa mafiliru gakuwi makulu kwa twenga,
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 ata patuweriti tuhowa toziya ya vidoda, yomberi katutenditi tuweri wakomu pamuhera na Kristu. Kwa manemu ga Mlungu, mwenga mlopoziwitwi.
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )
6 Kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Yesu Kristu, Mlungu katuzyukusiyiti pamuhera na yomberi, su twakalikali pamuhera na Yesu kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 Ndo ntambu yakafiriti kulanguziya kwa shipindi shashiza, ukulu wa manemu gakuwi kwa mafiliru gakatulanguziyiti twenga kupitira Yesu Kristu. (aiōn g165)
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
8 Toziya kwa manemu ga Mlungu, mwenga mlopoziwa kupitira njimiru. Shitwatira ashi shilawa ndiri kwa maweni mwenga, kumbiti shilawa kwa Mlungu.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Su muntu yoseri nakalitumbira toziya kagutenderiti ndiri lihengu.
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 Twenga twa viwumbi vya Mlungu na kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu Yesu, yomberi kawumbiti toziya kulikala makaliru ga matendu maheri gakatutandiriti kala tugatendi.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Muholi ntambu yamuweriti pamakashu, mwenga kwa kwiwuka muwera wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, mwenga yamshemwa “Wantu yawayingiziwitwi ndiri jandu” na Wayawudi walishema weni, “Wantu yawayingiziwa jandu,” Toziya ya shilii shashitendwa munshimba zyawu kwa mawoku ga wantu kulanguziya weni ndo wantu wa Mlungu.
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 Muliholi vilaa shipindi shilii mwenga muweriti mulikolerana ndiri pamuhera na Kristu, mwenga mubagulitwi na wantu wa Israeli na muweriti wahenga kwa mapatanu yagaweriti na lagilu ya Mlungu. Mulikaliti pasipanu, uganu muweriti gambira wantu yawahera litumbiru, walii yawammana ndiri Mlungu.
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 Pamakashu mwenga muweriti kutali na Mlungu, kumbiti vinu kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu Yesu, mwenga mjegitwi pakwegera kupitira mwazi gwa Kristu.
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 Toziya Kristu mweni katujegeriti ponga kwa kuwatenda Wayawudi na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi kuwera wantu wamu. Kwa kuyilaviya nshimba yakuwi mweni kuwera tambiku kabomoliti ungondu wawu yawuweriti gambira shibambaza shashiwalekaniziyiti.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Kagaharabisiyiti nakamu Malagaliru ga Wayawudi pamuhera na lagiru lyakuwi na genderanu yakuwi, su kulawira vipinga viwili, yomberi katenda shipinga shimu sha wantu wasyayi mukulikolerana pamuhera na mweni, kwa njira ayi katenditi ponga.
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 Kupitira kuyilaviya nshimba yakuwi palupingika kuwera tambiku, Kristu kawuhalabisiyiti ungondu wawu na katenditi vipinga viwili viweri gambira nshimba yimu na kuwakolaniziya pamuhera na Mlungu.
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 Su Kristu kiziti kushibwera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha ponga kwa wantu woseri, mwenga wantu yamuwera ndiri Wayawudi, yamuweriti kutali na Mlungu na kwa Wayawudi yawawera pakwegera na Mlungu.
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 Su kupitira Kristu, twawoseri twenga Wayawudi na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi tupata lupenyu kumgendera Tati kwa Rohu yumu.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Su mwenga mwawahenga ndiri kayi, ama wantu wa kunja ndiri, mwenga vinu muwera wenikaya pamuhera na wantu wa Mlungu, muwera wantu wa kaya ya Mlungu.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 Mwenga viraa mnyawa mulyanjiru lyalitulitwi na wantumintumi pamuhera na wambuyi wa Mlungu na Kristu Yesu mweni ndo litalawu likulu lyaliwera na mana nentu.
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 Yomberi ndo mweni yakayikolera numba yoseri na kuyikuliziya iweri Numba nkulu nanagala ya Mlungu toziya ya Mtuwa.
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 Kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, mwenga viraa mnyawa pamuhera na wamonga woseri, muweri pahala Mlungu kalikala kupitira Rohu gwakuwi.
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
