VaEfeso 2
1 Kana muri imi, makanga makafa mukudarika kwenyu nomuzvivi,
You also who were dead in your sins and in your transgressions,
2 izvo zvamaigara mazviri pamaitevera nzira dzenyika ino uye nedzomutongi woushe hwomuchadenga, iwo mweya unoshanda zvino muna avo vasingateereri. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
3 Isu tose taigara pakati pavo pane imwe nguva, tichikudza kuchiva kwenyama yedu yezvivi uye tichitevera zvido zvedu nezvataifunga. Sezvakangoita vamwe vose, pakuzvarwa kwedu takanga tiri vana vokutsamwirwa.
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 Asi nokuda kworudo rwake rukuru kwatiri, Mwari, iye akapfuma pangoni,
BUT Aloha, who is rich in his mercies, for his great love wherewith he loved us
5 akatiita vapenyu muna Kristu kunyange zvedu takanga takafa mukudarika kwedu, makaponeswa nenyasha.
while we were dead in our sins, made us alive with the Meshiha, and through his grace delivered us,
6 Uye Mwari akatimutsa pamwe chete naKristu akatigarisa kudenga muna Kristu Jesu,
and raised us with him, and made us to sit with him in heaven in Jeshu the Meshiha,
7 kuitira kuti munguva dzinouya aratidze pfuma yake huru yenyasha dzake, zvichiratidzwa muunyoro hwake kwatiri muna Kristu Jesu. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
8 Nokuti makaponeswa nenyasha, kubudikidza nokutenda, uye izvi hazvibvi kwamuri, chipo chaMwari,
For by his grace are we saved through faith, and this was not of you, but is the gift of Aloha,
9 kwete namabasa, kuti parege kuva nomunhu anozvikudza.
not of works, that no man should glory.
10 Nokuti tiri basa raMwari, rakasikwa muna Kristu Jesu kuti tiite mabasa akanaka, akagadzirwa naMwari kare kuti tiaite.
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 Naizvozvo, rangarirai kuti kare imi veDzimwe Ndudzi pakuzvarwa uye muchinzi “vasina kudzingiswa” naavo vaizviti “vakadzingiswa” (uko kunoitwa pamuviri namaoko avanhu),
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 rangarirai kuti panguva iyoyo makanga makaparadzaniswa naKristu, musingaverengwi muzvizvarwa zveIsraeri uye muri vatorwa musungano dzechipikirwa, musina tariro uye musina Mwari munyika.
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 Asi zvino muna Kristu Jesu, imi makanga muri kure kare, makaswededzwa pedyo kubudikidza neropa raKristu.
But now, by Jeshu the Meshiha, you who before were far off, are brought nigh by the blood of the Meshiha.
14 Nokuti iye pachake ndiye rugare rwedu, akaita kuti vaviri vave chinhu chimwe uye akaparadza mukaha, irwo rusvingo rwokuvengana rwaivaparadzanisa,
For he is our peace, he who hath made the two one, and hath destroyed the wall which stood in the midst,
15 nokuparadza munyama yake murayiro, mitemo yacho pamwe chete uye nezvakatemwa. Vavariro yake yakanga iri yokusika maari munhu mumwe chete mutsva kubva pavaviri, naizvozvo aite rugare,
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 uye mumuviri mumwe chete uyu ayananise vaviri ava kuna Mwari kubudikidza nomuchinjikwa, wakaparadza kuvengana kwavo.
and hath reconciled the two in one body with Aloha, and by his cross hath slain the enmity.
17 Akauya akaparidza rugare kwamuri imi makanga muri kure uye rugare kuna avo vakanga vari pedyo.
And coming, he preached peace to you, to the far off, and to the nigh; therefore,
18 Nokuti kubudikidza naye isu tose tinosvika kuna Baba noMweya mumwe chete.
through Him there hath been made for us both an access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Saka, hamuchisiri vatorwa kana vaeni, asi vagari pamwe chete navanhu vaMwari uye mava veimba yaMwari,
THEREFORE are you no more strangers and sojourners but sons of the city of the saints, and sons of the house of Aloha;
20 makavakwa panheyo dzavapostori navaprofita, naKristu Jesu pachake iye dombo rapakona.
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 Maari imba yose yakabatanidzwa pamwe chete uye inokura kuti ive temberi tsvene muna She.
and in him is the whole building increased and enlargeth into a holy temple in the Lord,
22 Uye maari nemiwo makavakwa pamwe chete kuti muve ugaro hwaMwari muMweya.
while you also in him are being builded the dwelling of Aloha by the Spirit.
