Waefeso 2
1 Ndavule mulivuo kuuti mufwile mu vuhosi ni nyivisinu.
And so God has given life to you Gentiles also, who were once dead in your trespasses and sins,
2 Lukale mu agha kuuti ulwakwasia mukalutile kuling'ana nuvnsiki ughwa iisi iji. ukale muluta kuvingilila untemi ughwa vutavulilua ughwa vulanga. Iiji je mhepo jamwene jula juno ivomba imbombo mu vaana agagalusi. (aiōn g165)
in which you passed your lives after the way of this world, under the sway of the Prince of the Powers of the Air, the spirit who is now working among the sons of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
3 Usue tweni apuo pa vwasio tukale mun'kate mu aava vano na vitike. Tulyale tuluta ndavule uvu noghelelua uvuvivi vwa mavili ghitu. Tulyale tuvomba uvughane vwa m'bili na kukagula kulyusue. Tulyale va vutengulilo avaana ava lukwelo ndavule avange.
And among them we all once passed our lives, indulging the passions of our flesh, carrying out the dictates of our senses and temperament, and were by nature the children of wrath like all the rest.
4 Looli u Nguluve ghwe mwinga ghwa lusungu ulwakuva ulughano lwa mwene lukome luno atughanile usue.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
5 Unsiki ghuno tukale vafue nu vuhosi vwitu, alyatuletile palikimo mu vukalo uvupia mun'kate mwa Kilisite. Kulusungu kwekuuti mupokilue.
even while we were dead in our trespasses, made us live together with Christ (it is by grace you have been saved).
6 U Nguluve alya tusyusisie palikimo na pikutuviika kukukala palikimo pala pavulanga mun'kate mwa Kilisite Yesu.
together with him He raised us from the dead, and together with Christ Jesus seated us in the heavenly realm,
7 Alyavombile n'diiki kuuti munsiki ghuno ghukwisaanoghile kukutusona uvumofu uvukome uvwa lusungu lwa mwene. Ikutusona usue iili kusilanija vuhugu vwa mwene mun'kate mwa Kilisite Yesu. (aiōn g165)
in order that he might show to the ages to come the amazing riches of his grace by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
8 Mulusungu mupokilue musila ija lwitiko. Ulu naluhumile kulyumue. Luvonolo lwa Nguluve.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is God’s gift.
9 Najihumilanila ni mbombo. Ku isio nakwangavisaghe nambe jumo ughwa kughinia.
It is not of works, so that any one can boast of it;
10 Ulwakuva usue tuli mbombo ja Nguluve, tupelilue mwa Kilisite Yesu kuvomba imbombo inono. Nimbombo iisi sino u Nguluve alya tuvikile kuhumila pa vukulu vwimila usue, ulwakuuti tughendelelaghe mu isio.
for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.
11 Pauluo mukumbukaghe kuuti pa mwande paala mulyale vaanhu va paanji mu lwa m'biili. Mutambulua “Mwevasila kudumulua” ku kila kino kitambulua vu dumulua vwa m'biili vuno vuvombua na mavoko gha vaanhu.
Do not forget then, that you Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by the "circumcision" made in flesh by man’s hand,
12 Kunsiki ughuo mulyabaghulue nu Kilisite. Mulyale va hesia muvaanhu va Israeli. Mulyale va hesia mulufingo lwa kufingana. Mulyale vasila vwa kyang'haani kunsiki ghuno ghukwisa. Mulyale vasila Nguluve mu iisi.
were once upon a time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants of the Promise, without hope and without God in the world.
13 Looli lino mwa Kilisite u Yesu umue mwevano pakali apuo mulyale patali nu Nguluve muletilua pipi nhu Nguluve mu danda ja Kilisite.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near in the blood of Christ.
14 Ulwakuuva umwene ghwe lutengano lwitu. Alya vombile vavili kuva jumo. Vwimila um'bili ghwa mwene alyananginie uluvumba lwa vugalung'ani vuno vulya tughavinie, uvulugu uvuo.
For he is our Peace, who has made the two of us Jew and Gentile one, and has broken down the party-wall of partition between us.
15 Kuuti alyimisie indaghilo sa lulaghilo nuvutavike ulwakuuti apeele umuunhu jumo umpia mun'kate mwa mweene. Akaviika ulutengano.
In his own body he abolished the cause of our enmity, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, in order to make the two into one new man in himself, so making peace.
16 Alyavombile vulevule ulwakuuti aghasambanie amapugha ghavili agha vaanhu kuuva m'bili ghumo kwa Nguluve kukilila ku kikovekano. Ku siila ja kikovekano alya budile uvulugu.
Thus he reconciled us both in one body to God by his cross, on which he slew our enmity.
17 U Yesu alisile na kupulisia ulutengano kulyumue umue mwevano mulyakutali nulutengano kuvaala vano valya pipi.
So he came preaching "Peace" to you Gentiles who were afar off, and "Peace" to us Jews who were near;
18 Ulwakuva ku sila ija Yesu usue tweeni vaviili tuli nuvwelefu kwa Mhepo jula jumo kukwingila kwa Nhaata.
because it is through him that we both have access in one spirit to the Father.
19 Pa uluo, umue mwe vaanhu mwe vapanji namulimulughendo na kuuva vahesia kange. Looli muli vanakaja palikimo navala avabaghulua vwimila u Nguluve na kuuva valetamola munyumba ja Nguluve.
Take notice then that no longer are you strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household.
20 Mujengilue mulwalo lwa vasung'ua nava viili. Ukilisite yesu jujuoalyale ghwe livue ilivaha ilya pa nguuto.
You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone.
21 Vwimila umue lijengo lyooni lilunganisivue palikimo na kukula heene nyumba ja kufunyila ija Mutwa.
In him the whole building, fitly framed together, rises into a holy temple in the Lord;
22 Mwe mun'kate mwa mwene umue najumue mujengua palikimo heene pe pala apakukala apa Nguluve mwa Mhepo.
and in him you, too, are continuously built together for a dwelling- place of God through his Spirit.
