Ephisus 2

1 Na tatkhialna uh te le na mawna uh te sung ah na thi zo uh a, tua pan in hong nungtasak kik hi;

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

2 A bosa hun sung ah leitung ngeina bang in ahizong, hui sung a om vangletna a ukpa ngeina bang in ahizong in, thu ni ngawl tate sung ah na a seam thaa ngeina bang in ahizong, note na nungta ngei uh hi: (aiōn g165)

in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. (aiōn g165)

3 Eite zong ngualdang te bangma in a bosa hun sung ah cilesa deina sung ah i nungta a, i pumpi le i thinsung i uk teng i kicingsak hi; taciang cilesa ngeina bang in thin-ukna i tate i hihi.

All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.

4 Ahihang thuthiamna taw a dim Pathian in itna lianpi taw hong it hi,

But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,

5 Mawna sung ah i thi laitak in, Christ taw hong nungta khawmsak hi, thuthiamna tungtawn in ngupna na nga uh hi;

made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!

6 Taciang hong tho khawmsak zo a, Christ Jesus sung ah van ah hong to khawmsak hi:

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

7 Tua thu sia hongpai tu hun sung ah eite tung ah ama thuthiamna i a lamdang hauna sia a phatna sung ah Christ Jesus tungtawn in hong lak thei natu a hihi. (aiōn g165)

in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 Banghangziam cile note sia thuthiamna hang in upna tungtawn in ngupna na nga zo uh hi; taciang tua ngupna sia note pan in hong piang hi ngawl hi: hi sia in Pathian letsong a hihi:

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 Sepna hang hi ngawl hi, tua ahikom kuama ki suantak tu hi ngawl hi.

not by works, so that no one can boast.

10 Banghangziam cile eite sia Pathian i khutma te i hihi, Christ Jesus sung ah nasep pha te a seam tu in a ki bitphua te i hihi, tua nasep pha te sung ah i nuntak thei natu in Pathian in hong ciangtan hi.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

11 Tua ahikom a bosa hun sung ah note sia cilesa deina taw Gentile mite na hi uh a, cilesa deina taw in khut taw vunteap tan te in vunteap tan ngawl te, hong ci uh hi, ci phawk tawntung tavun;

Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)—

12 Tua hun in note in Christ na nei bua uh hi, Israel minam sung ah ki hel ngawl in peamta te na hi uh hi, taciang kamciam thu te pan zong peamta te na hi uh hi, taciang leitung ah Pathian na nei bua uh a, lametna zong na nei bua uh hi:

remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

13 Nidang in note sia a khuala mama na ah na om ngei uh a, Christ thisan tungtawn in hong naisak kik a, tu in Christ Jesus sung ah na om uh hi.

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

14 Banghangziam cile Ama sia i thinnopna hi a, Ama in pumkhat in hong vawt hi, taciang i ki laklaw ah hong khak kidalna sia baltham zo hi;

For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility

15 Ama in ki ngalvawtna, biakna ngeina sung a om thupiak te sia Ama pumpi sung ah bosak siat zo hi; banghangziam cile Ama sung ah mihing ni sia mihing thak khat vawt tu in kilemna vawt hi;

by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace

16 Taciang thinglamte tungtawn in mihing ni sia Pathian tung ah pumpi khat hi tu a, kilemna vawtsak tu in, ki ngalvawtna that hi:

and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.

17 Taciang a khualapi a om note le a nai na a om te tung ah Christ hongpai a, kilemna thu hong hil hi.

He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

18 Banghangziam cile Christ tungtawn in ahizong, Thaa khat tungtawn in ahizong, Pa kung ah i tum thei hi.

For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

19 Tua ahikom, tu in note sia peamta te le ngamdang mite na hi nawn bua uh hi, ahihang mithiangtho te taw ngam khat i mi le Pathian innkuanpui na hi uh hi;

Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,

20 Taciang note sia sawltak te le kamsang te i phungkawng tung ah a kisa te na hi uh a, Jesus Christ ama cikteak sia a lianbel phungkawng a hihi;

built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

21 Ama sung ah innpi theampo phatak in ki zom dimdiam a, Topa sung ah biakinn thiangtho a hi tu in na khang khawm tek uh hi:

In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

22 Ama sung ah note sia Thaa tungtawn in Pathian om natu in munkhat ah a kisa khawm te na hi uh hi.

And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.
