< Waefesu 2 >
1 Pamakashu mwenga muweriti gambira muhowa toziya ya vidoda vyamtenditi.
You also who were dead in your sins and in your transgressions,
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 )
in which from the first you walked according to the worldliness of this age, and according to the will of the prince of the power of the air, of that Spirit who urgeth in the sons of disobedience; (aiōn )
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.
in those works in which we also walked from the first in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of our flesh and of our mind, and were the sons of wrath fully as the rest.
4 Kumbiti Mlungu ndo kana lusungu nentu. Katufiriti kwa mafiliru gakuwi makulu kwa twenga,
BUT Aloha, who is rich in his mercies, 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.
while we were dead in our sins, made us alive with the Meshiha, and through his grace delivered us,
6 Kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Yesu Kristu, Mlungu katuzyukusiyiti pamuhera na yomberi, su twakalikali pamuhera na Yesu kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
and raised us with him, and made us to sit with him in heaven in Jeshu the Meshiha,
7 Ndo ntambu yakafiriti kulanguziya kwa shipindi shashiza, ukulu wa manemu gakuwi kwa mafiliru gakatulanguziyiti twenga kupitira Yesu Kristu. (aiōn )
that he might show to the ages to come the greatness of the riches of his grace and his goodness, which hath been upon us in Jeshu the Meshiha. (aiōn )
8 Toziya kwa manemu ga Mlungu, mwenga mlopoziwa kupitira njimiru. Shitwatira ashi shilawa ndiri kwa maweni mwenga, kumbiti shilawa kwa Mlungu.
For by his grace are we saved through faith, and this was not of you, but is the gift of Aloha,
9 Su muntu yoseri nakalitumbira toziya kagutenderiti ndiri lihengu.
not of works, that no man should glory.
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 creation, who are created in Jeshu Meshiha unto good works, which Aloha hath prepared before, that in them we should walk.
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 be mindful, that you Gentiles at first were carnal, and were called the Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision, and is the work of the hands in the flesh;
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.
and were at that time without the Meshiha, and were aliens from the polity of Israel, and strangers to the covenant of the promise, and, without hope, were without Aloha 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, by Jeshu the Meshiha, you who before were far off, are brought nigh by the blood of the Meshiha.
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, he who hath made the two one, and hath destroyed the wall which stood in the midst,
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.
and the enmity, through his flesh; and the law of prescriptions, with its requirements, he hath abolished, that of the two he might create in himself one new man, and make 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 hath reconciled the two in one body with Aloha, and by his cross hath slain 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 coming, he preached peace to you, to the far off, and to the nigh; therefore,
18 Su kupitira Kristu, twawoseri twenga Wayawudi na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi tupata lupenyu kumgendera Tati kwa Rohu yumu.
through Him there hath been made for us both an 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.
THEREFORE are you no more strangers and sojourners but sons of the city of the saints, and sons of the house of Aloha;
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 you are builded upon the foundation of the apostles and of the prophets, and Jeshu the Meshiha himself is the chief corner of the building;
21 Yomberi ndo mweni yakayikolera numba yoseri na kuyikuliziya iweri Numba nkulu nanagala ya Mlungu toziya ya Mtuwa.
and in him is the whole building increased and enlargeth 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.
while you also in him are being builded the dwelling of Aloha by the Spirit.
