< Ефесень 2 >
1 Вой ераць морць ын грешелиле ши ын пэкателе воастре,
Formerly, because you were habitually sinning [DOU], you were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as a] corpse [MET] is).
2 ын каре трэяць одиниоарэ дупэ мерсул лумий ачестея, дупэ домнул путерий вэздухулуй, а духулуй каре лукрязэ акум ын фиий неаскултэрий. (aiōn )
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 )
3 Ынтре ей ерам ши ной тоць одиниоарэ, кынд трэям ын пофтеле фирий ноастре пэмынтешть, кынд фэчям воиле фирий пэмынтешть ши але гындурилор ноастре ши ерам дин фире копий ай мынией, ка ши чейлалць.
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 Дар Думнезеу, каре есте богат ын ындураре, пентру драгостя чя маре ку каре не-а юбит,
But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much.
5 мэкар кэ ерам морць ын грешелиле ноастре, не-а адус ла вяцэ ымпреунэ ку Христос (прин хар сунтець мынтуиць).
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 Ел не-а ынвият ымпреунэ ши не-а пус сэ шедем ымпреунэ ын локуриле черешть, ын Христос Исус,
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 ка сэ арате ын вякуриле виитоаре немэрӂинита богэцие а харулуй Сэу, ын бунэтатя Луй фацэ де ной ын Христос Исус. (aiōn )
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 )
8 Кэч прин хар аць фост мынтуиць, прин крединцэ. Ши ачаста ну вине де ла вой, чи есте дарул луй Думнезеу.
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 Ну прин фапте, ка сэ ну се лауде нимень.
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 Кэч ной сунтем лукраря Луй ши ам фост зидиць ын Христос Исус пентру фаптеле буне пе каре ле-а прегэтит Думнезеу май динаинте ка сэ умблэм ын еле.
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 Де ачея, вой, каре алтэдатэ ераць нямурь дин наштере, нумиць нетэяць ымпрежур де кэтре ачея каре се кямэ тэяць ымпрежур ши каре сунт тэяць ымпрежур ын труп де мына омулуй,
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 адучеци-вэ аминте кэ ын время ачея ераць фэрэ Христос, фэрэ дрепт де четэцение ын Исраел, стрэинь де легэминтеле фэгэдуинцей, фэрэ нэдежде ши фэрэ Думнезеу ын луме.
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 Дар акум, ын Христос Исус, вой, каре одиниоарэ ераць депэртаць, аць фост апропияць прин сынӂеле луй Христос.
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 Кэч Ел есте пачя ноастрэ, каре дин дой а фэкут унул ши а сурпат зидул де ла мижлок каре-й деспэрця
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 ши, ын трупул Луй, а ынлэтурат врэжмэшия динтре ей, Леӂя порунчилор, ын орындуириле ей, ка сэ факэ пе чей дой сэ фие ын Ел Ынсушь ун сингур ом ноу, фэкынд астфел паче,
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 ши а ымпэкат пе чей дой ку Думнезеу ынтр-ун сингур труп, прин круче, прин каре а нимичит врэжмэшия.
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 Ел а венит астфел сэ адукэ вестя бунэ а пэчий воуэ, челор че ераць департе, ши паче челор че ерау апроапе.
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 Кэч прин Ел ши уний, ши алций авем интраре ла Татэл, ынтр-ун Дух.
[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 Ашадар, вой ну май сунтець нич стрэинь, нич оаспець ай касей, чи сунтець ымпреунэ-четэцень ку сфинций, оамень дин каса луй Думнезеу,
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 фиинд зидиць пе темелия апостолилор ши пророчилор, пятра дин капул унгюлуй фиинд Исус Христос.
[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 Ын Ел тоатэ клэдиря, бине ынкегатэ, креште ка сэ фие ун Темплу сфынт ын Домнул.
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 Ши прин Ел ши вой сунтець зидиць ымпреунэ, ка сэ фиць ун локаш ал луй Думнезеу, прин Духул.
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.
