Efezjan 2
1 I was ożywił, którzyście byli umarli w upadkach i w grzechach.
Formerly, because you were habitually sinning [DOU], you were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as a] corpse [MET] is).
2 W którycheście niekiedy chodzili według zwyczaju świata tego i według książęcia, który ma władzę na powietrzu, ducha tego, który teraz jest skuteczny w synach niedowiarstwa. (aiōn g165)
You were acting in the same [evil] way as those who oppose Christ [MTY] act. That is, you were behaving in the [evil] ways [that Satan wanted you to behave]. He rules over evil spiritual beings that no person can see [MTY]. He is the spirit who now powerfully controls the people who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
3 Między którymi i my wszyscy obcowaliśmy niekiedy w pożądliwościach ciała naszego, czyniąc to, co się podobało ciału i myślom, i byliśmy z przyrodzenia dziećmi gniewu, jako i drudzy.
Formerly, we all used to disobey God as they do. We did the things that our self-centered nature wanted us to do. We habitually did those [evil] deeds that our bodies and our minds wanted to do. When we were acting like that, it was certain that [God] would punish [MTY] us, just like he will certainly punish all other [evil people].
4 Lecz Bóg, który jest bogaty w miłosierdziu, dla wielkiej miłości swojej, którą nas umiłował.
But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much.
5 I gdyśmy byli umarłymi w grzechach, ożywił nas pospołu z Chrystusem, (gdyż łaską zbawieni jesteście)
As a result, even when we were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as] a corpse [MET] is) because we were habitually sinning, he enabled us to receive [spiritual]/[eternal] life because of our relationship with Christ. [Do not forget this: It is only] because God has acted so kindly toward you, in a way that you did not deserve, that you are saved {that [he] saved you} [from the guilt of your sin]
6 I pospołu z nim wzbudził, i pospołu z nim posadził na niebiesiech w Chrystusie Jezusie,
And [it is as though] God gave us spiritual life when he caused Christ Jesus to be alive again after he died [MET]. And [it is as though] God caused us to sit [and rule] [MTY] with him in heaven,
7 Aby okazał w przyszłych wiekach ono nader obfite bogactwo łaski swojej, z dobrotliwości swojej przeciwko nam w Chrystusie Jezusie. (aiōn g165)
in order that he might show to everyone at all times in the future that he has acted toward us in an extremely kind way because of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. (aiōn g165)
8 Albowiem łaską jesteście zbawieni przez wiarę, i to nie jest z was, dar to Boży jest;
It is [only] by [God] acting [PRS] [toward you] in a way that you did not deserve that you have been saved {that he has saved you} as a result of your trusting [in Christ]. You did not save yourselves. His saving you was his gift to you.
9 Nie z uczynków, aby się kto nie chlubił.
He did not save any of you because of anything you yourselves did. Because you have done nothing [to save yourselves], you cannot be proud of your efforts to save yourselves.
10 Albowiem czynem jego jesteśmy stworzeni w Chrystusie Jezusie ku uczynkom dobrym, które przedtem Bóg zgotował, abyśmy w nich chodzili.
It is God who has made us what we are now. Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, he has enabled us to receive [spiritual/eternal] life in order that we should conduct our lives habitually doing the good deeds that God previously planned for us to do.
11 Przetoż pamiętajcie, że wy niekiedy będąc poganami w ciele, którzyście byli zwani nieobrzezką od onych, których zwano obrzezką w ciele, która się ręką dzieje;
You [Ephesians] have been non-Jews from the time that you were born. The Jews ([insult you/say that you are not God’s people]) [by] calling you ‘those who are not circumcised’. They [proudly] call themselves ‘we [(exc)] who are circumcised’. [They have allowed people to] circumcise [them to indicate that they are God’s people, but] that has [only] changed their bodies, [not their] ([inner beings/hearts]).
12 Iżeście byli naonczas bez Chrystusa, oddaleni od społeczności Izraelskiej i obcymi od umów obietnicy, nadziei nie mający i bez Boga na świecie.
You should constantly remember these things: Formerly you did not have any relationship with Christ. You did not belong to the people of Israel, [the people whom God chose]. You did not know about the things God promised in his agreements [with his people]. You did not confidently expect to go to heaven after you die (OR, [that God would save you]). You [lived] in this world without knowing God.
13 Ale teraz w Chrystusie Jezusie wy, którzyście niekiedy byli dalekimi, staliście się bliskimi przez krew Chrystusową,
But now, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, God has brought you, who had no relationship with him [MET], into his family [MET]. He did that because [you trusted in what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed from his body when he died on the cross].
14 Albowiem on jest pokojem naszym, który oboje jednem uczynił i średnią ścianę, która była przegrodą, rozwalił;
Christ himself [has caused us Jewish and non-Jewish believers] to have peace [with each other]. He has made both [of our groups] to become one [group]. [Just like people] (tear down/demolish) a wall that separates [groups of people] [MET], he has destroyed the hatred [between Jews and non-Jews].
15 Nieprzyjaźń, to jest zakon przykazań, który zależał w ustawach, skaziwszy przez ciało swoje, aby dwóch stworzył w samym sobie w jednego nowego człowieka, czyniąc pokój;
By dying [MTY] [for us on the cross] he made it no longer [necessary for us to obey] all the [Jewish] laws and rituals [in order to be saved]. He did that in order to enable the two [groups] to become one new group because of our relationship with him. The result was that he has caused us to have peace [with each other].
16 I pojednał obydwóch w jednem ciele z Bogiem przez krzyż, zgładziwszy nieprzyjaźń przezeń.
By [dying on] the cross [MTY] he caused both Jews and non-Jews to have a peaceful relationship with God. That is how he caused us to no longer be [MET] enemies [with God] (OR, [with each other]).
17 I przyszedłszy opowiedział pokój wam, którzyście dalekimi i którzyście bliskimi.
He came [to earth] and proclaimed that you [non-Jews], who did not have a relationship with [MET] [God], and [us(exc) Jews], who [considered that we(exc) belonged to] [MET] God’s [family], can [all] now have peace [with God].
18 Albowiem przezeń mamy przystęp obie strony w jednym Duchu do Ojca.
[We know that he has done that] because we both, [Jews and non-Jews], are [now] able to approach God the Father in prayer by the help of his Spirit, because of what Christ [has done].
19 A przetoż już więcej nie jesteście gośćmi i przychodniami, ale spółmieszczaninami świętych i domownikami Bożymi.
So [God no longer treats] you [non-Jews] as [people treat] [MET] foreigners and strangers [who live among them] [MET]. Instead, along with all God’s people, [it is as though] you have become citizens of a country that he rules over, and [as though you have become] members of the family [of which he is the father] [MET].
20 Zbudowani na fundamencie Apostołów i proroków, którego jest gruntownym węgielnym kamieniem sam Jezus Chrystus,
[Just like] a building is built {[as someone] builds a building} on a foundation, [God has joined you into one group that originated/began] from what the apostles and prophets [taught]. Christ Jesus is the [most important one in that group, just like a] cornerstone [is the most important part of a building]. And
21 Na którym wszystko budowanie wespół spojone rośnie w kościół święty w Panu;
just like [a builder might] join together all the parts of a building to make it a temple that [people will] dedicate to the Lord [MET], [Christ is continually causing all of] you who have a relationship with [him to be united, in order that you will become one holy group].
22 Na którym też i wy się wespół budujecie, abyście byli mieszkaniem Bożem w Duchu Świętym.
And because of your relationship with Christ, [God] is joining you [non-Jews] together with [Jewish believers] to be [like] one building [MET] in which his Spirit lives.
