Efesoarrei 2

1 Eta çuec viuificatu çaituzte hilac cinetelaric faltetan eta bekatuetan:

You yourselves were once dead because of your offences and sins.

2 Ceinétan noizpait ebili içan baitzarete mundu hunen cursuaren araura, airearen bothereco princearen araura, cein baita desobedientiazco haourretan orain obratzen duen spiritua: (aiōn g165)

For at one time you lived in sin, following the ways of the world, in subjection to the Ruler of the Powers of the air — the Spirit who is still at work among the disobedient. (aiōn g165)

3 Ceinén artean guc guciec-ere noizpait conuersatu vkan baitugu gure haraguiaren guthicietan eguiten guentuela, haraguiaren eta gure pensamenduén desirac: eta naturaz hiraren haour guinén berceac-ere beçala.

And it was among them that we all once lived our lives, indulging the cravings of our earthly nature, and carrying out the desires prompted by that earthly nature and by our own thoughts. Our very nature exposed us to the Divine Wrath, like the rest of mankind.

4 Baina Iainco misericordiaz abratsac bere charitate handi gu onhetsi gaituenagatic,

Yet God, in his abundant compassion, and because of the great love with which he loved us,

5 Eta bekatuz hilac guinelaric, elkarrequin, Christez viuificatu vkan gaitu, ceinen gratiaz saluatu içan baitzarete:

even though we were ‘dead’ because of our offences, gave Life to us in giving Life to the Christ. (By God’s loving-kindness you have been saved.)

6 Eta resuscitatu vkan gaitu elkarrequin eta iar eraci ceruètan Iesus Christean.

And, through our union with Christ Jesus, God raised us with him, and caused us to sit with him on high,

7 Eracuts leçançát ethorteco diraden seculetan bere gratiaren abrastassun abundanta bere gureganaco benignitateaz Iesus Christean. (aiōn g165)

in order that, by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus, he might display in the ages to come the boundless wealth of his loving-kindness. (aiōn g165)

8 Ecen gratiaz saluatu içan çarete fedearen moienez: eta hori ez çuetaric: Iaincoaren dohaina da:

For it is by God’s loving-kindness that you have been saved, through your faith. It is not due to yourselves; the gift is God’s.

9 Ezobréz, nehor gloria eztadinçát.

It is not due to obedience to Law, lest any one should boast.

10 Ecen haren obrá gara Iesus Christean creatuac obra onetara, cein preparatu baititu Iaincoac hetan ebil guentecençát.

For we are God’s handiwork, created, by our union with Christ Jesus, for the good actions in doing which God had pre-arranged that we should spend our lives.

11 Halacotz, orhoit çaitezte nola çuec noizpait Gentilac haraguian, Preputio deitzen baitzineten, haraguian Circoncisione deitzen denaz eta escuz eguiten denaz,

Remember, therefore, that you were once Gentiles yourselves, as your bodies showed; you were called ‘The Uncircumcised’ by those who were called ‘The Circumcised’ — circumcised only by the hand of man!

12 Baitzineten dembora hartan Christ gabe, Israeleco republicarequin deus communic etzindutelaric, eta promessaren alliancetaric estranger, sperançaric etzindutelaric, eta Iainco gabe munduan cinetelaric:

Remember that you were at that time far from Christ; you were shut out from the citizenship of Israel; you were strangers to the Covenants founded on God’s Promise; you were in the world without hope and without God.

13 Baina orain Iesus Christean, çuec noizpait baitzineten vrrun, hurbildu içan çarete Christen odolaz.

But now, through your union with Christ Jesus, you who once were ‘far off’ have, by the shedding of the blood of the Christ, been brought ‘near.’

14 Ecen hura da gure baquea, biac bat eguin dituena, eta bién arteco paretaren cerraillua hautsi duena:

He it is who is our Peace. He made the two divisions of mankind one, broke down the barrier that separated them,

15 Bere haraguiaz abolituric etsaigoá, cein baita, manamenduetaco leguea, ordenancetan consistitzen dena, biéz bere baithan guiçon berribat eguin leçançát, baquea eguiten luela.

and in his human nature put an end to the cause of enmity between them — the Law with its injunctions and ordinances — in order to create, through union with himself, from Jew and Gentile, one New Man and thus make peace.

16 Eta biac gorputz batetan reconcilia lietzonçat, Iaincoari crutzeaz, hartan etsaigoá deseguinic.

And when, upon the cross, he had destroyed their mutual enmity, he sought by means of his cross to reconcile them both to God, united in one Body.

17 Eta ethorriric euangelizatu vkan drauçue baquea, çuey vrrungoey, eta hæy hurbilecoey.

He came with the Good News of peace for you who were ‘far off,’ and of peace for those who were ‘near’;

18 Ecen harçaz dugu biéc Spiritu batetan sartze Aitagana.

for it is through him that we, the Jews and the Gentiles, united in the one Spirit, are now able to approach the Father.

19 Etzarete beraz guehiagoric estrangér eta campoco, baina sainduén burgesquide, eta Iaincoaren domestico:

It follows, then, that you are no longer strangers and aliens, but are fellow-citizens with Christ’s People and members of God’s Household.

20 Apostoluén eta Prophetén fundament gainean edificatuac, ceinen har cantoin principala baita Iesus Christ bera:

You have been built up upon the foundation laid by the Apostles and Prophets, Christ Jesus himself being ‘the corner-stone.’

21 Ceinetan edificio gucia elkarri eratchequiric, handitzen baita, temple saindu içateco Iaunean:

United in him, every part of the building, closely joined together, will grow into a Temple, consecrated by its union with the Lord.

22 Ceinetan çuec-ere elkarrequin edificatzen baitzarete Iaincoaren tabernacle çaretençát, Spirituaz.

And, through union in him, you also are being built up together, to be a dwelling-place for God through the Spirit.
