Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Sina kwenu, muba fwire kumilandu yenu ni muzivi.
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
Ibali mwezi zintu kuti mani mubayendi chazo lwazintu zenkanda. Muba kuyenda keswanelo kuya cha Mubusi wepuso ye mbyumbyulu. Ulu njilu huho lwa muntu yo sebeza mubana basena ikute. (aiōn g165)
3 We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
Naswe bulyo imwi inako tuba kwina kuvali avo basa zumini. Tuba kusebeza kuya che ntakazo imbi yo mubiri yetu. Tuba kupanga misebezi ye nyama ni mihupulo. Chakuya chensimuuloho tubali tubana ba bengerwe sina bamwi.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Kono Ireza muhumi kuchisemo chebaka lyakwe lyelato lya tusaka.
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Haho tuba kufwire mumilandu, Aba tuleti tubonse mubu halo bunhya mwa Christ. Linu kechi semo chakwe tuba hazwa.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Ireza aba tunyemuni tubose ni kutupanga kwi kala tuvose muzibaka zokwiulu mwa Jesu Christ.
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)
Aba pangi inzi kuti mwinako inkeza atutondeze bungi bwe chisemo cha kwe. Uzi tutondeza izi ka kuya kachi semo mwa Christ Jesu. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Kuya ke chisemo muba hazwa che ntumelo, Linu inzi kena zibazwe kwako, impo ye Ireeza.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Kaizwe kumisebezi kuti zumwi ali tundumune.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Mi tuba beleki be Ireza, kubumbwa mwa Christ Jesu kupanga misebezi milotu iyo Ireeza yabazezi kale kale uko kwetu, iri kuti tuyende mwa teni.
11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),
Nihakubabulyo muhupule kuti inako imwe mubali volusika mwi nyama. Linu munsumpiwa”vasena baba yendi kumupato” kakuya icho chinsumpiwa mupato mwi nyama chi pangiwa mayanza umuntu.
12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Mwe ina inako muba kukauhenwe kwa Christ. Mubali bazwa kule ku chisi cha Isilaele. Inwe mubali muba yenzi ku chilikani che nsempiso. Kena mubena i ntukelo ya kubusu. Kena mubena Ireza mwinkanda.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Linu mwa Christ Jesu inwe imwe inako muba kwina kule ni Ireza mubaletwa hafuhi ni Ireza ni malaha a Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Kakuli njiyena inkozo yetu. Aba kopanyi bobere hamwina. chamubili wakwe aba shiinyi ma mota aba kutukauhanya ni kutu suminina.
15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,
Linu, aba manisi mulao we ntaelo ni milao kuti a wole kbumba muntu munhya mwali. Aba pangi inkozo.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
Aba pangi inzi kuvoza hamwina bantu vonse mumubili onke kwa Ireeza kuya ke chifapano. Ke chifapano abe hayi kusuminina.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Jesu aba kezi nikwiza kuwamba inkozo kwenu mubakena kule, hape inkozo kwenu mubena hafuhi.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Kuya ka Jesu tubonse tuzumininwa mu luhuho lonke kwe Ishetu.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Nihakubabulya, hanu inwe chisi chamasi angi kamusili muba enzi nibazwa kule. Kono inwe mubazaki nabo babikilwe kwi mbali kwe Ireza ni mamembala be nzobo ye Ireza.
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
Linu muba zakwa ha mutomo wa baapositola ni bapolofita. Christ Jesu iye mwine avali musumo.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Mwali muyaho onse ukopanyiwa ni kukula ubu inkeleke mwa Simwine.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Nji mwali muzakiwa hamwina ubu chibaka chokuhala kwa Ireza mu Luhuho.
