1 Pamakashu mwenga muweriti gambira muhowa toziya ya vidoda vyamtenditi.
and you also [[he raised up]], who were dead through your 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)
in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons 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 even we all had our way of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature 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, on account of his great love wherewith he loved us, gave to us,
5 ata patuweriti tuhowa toziya ya vidoda, yomberi katutenditi tuweri wakomu pamuhera na Kristu. Kwa manemu ga Mlungu, mwenga mlopoziwitwi.
even when dead through our trespasses, life with Christ, —by grace have ye been saved, —
6 Kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Yesu Kristu, Mlungu katuzyukusiyiti pamuhera na yomberi, su twakalikali pamuhera na Yesu kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
and raised us up with him, and caused us to sit with him in the heavenly regions 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 he might show in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in 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 ye have been saved, through faith; and this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;
9 Su muntu yoseri nakalitumbira toziya kagutenderiti ndiri lihengu.
not of works, lest any one 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 before prepared 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 in time past ye, the gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcised by those who are called circumcised, having the circumcision of the flesh, performed by hand, —
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 ye were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the 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 formerly were afar off, have been brought 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 it is he who is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition between us, that is, the enmity;
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 law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create of the two one new man in himself, thus 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 might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain on it the enmity.
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 he came and brought the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off, and of peace to those that were near;
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 our access in one Spirit to 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.
So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but are fellow-citizens with the saints, and members 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, Christ Jesus 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, is growing into a 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 built together into a dwelling-place of God in the Spirit.
