Ephesians 2

1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

Lo kile lwa bo lo hutsitswe ke Modimo, lo atlholetswe loso lwa bosakhutleng ka ntlha ya dibe tsa lona.

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)

Lo ne lo tsamaya le bontsintsi jwa batho mme lo ne lo tshwana fela le ba bangwe botlhe, lo tletse boleo, lo ikobela Satane, kgosana e kgolo ya nonofo ya loapi, e e dirang mo dipelong tsa ba ba kgatlhanong le Morena gone jaanong. (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.

Rotlhe re kile ra bo re ntse fela jaaka ba ntse, matshelo a rona a supa bosula jo bo mo go rona, re dira sengwe le sengwe sa boikepo se dikeletso tsa rona kgotsa megopolo ya rona e e bosula e neng e re gogela mo go sone. Re ne ra simolola ka bomaswe, re tsetswe ka ditlholego tse di bosula, ra bo ra nna mo bogaleng jwa Modimo fela jaaka mongwe le mongwe.

4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

Mme Modimo o humile kutlwelo botlhoko thata; o re ratile thata,

5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

mo e leng gore le fa re ne re sule mo moweng ebile re atlholetswe loso lwa bosakhutleng ka ntlha ya dibe tsa rona, o ne wa re busetsa matshelo a rona fa o tsosa Keresete mo baswing fela ka ntlha ya kutlwelo botlhoko ya One e e neng e sa re tshwanela, re ne ra bolokelwa ruri,

6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

wa bo wa re ntsha mo lebitleng wa re tsenya mo kgalalelong mmogo le Keresete, kwa re nnang teng le ene mo mannong a segosi a selegodimo ka ntlha ya se Keresete Jesu a se dirileng.

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)

Mme jaanong Modimo ka malatsi otlhe o ka re supegetsa e le dikai tsa ka fa bopelonomi jwa one jo bontle bo ntseng ka teng; jaaka go supiwa mo go tsotlhe tse o re di diretseng ka Jesu Keresete. (aiōn g165)

8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Ka ntlha ya bopelonomi jwa one lo bolokilwe ka go ikanya Keresete. Mme le e leng go ikanya ga se ga lona ka bo lona; le gone ke mpho e e tswang kwa Modimong.

9 not of works, that no one would boast.

Poloko ga se tuelo ya tshiamo e re e dirileng, jalo he, ga gona ope wa rona yo o ka ipelafatsang ka yone.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

Ke Modimo ka bo one o o re dirileng se re leng sone wa bo wa re naya matshelo a masha a a tswang kwa go Keresete Jesu; mme mo dingwageng tse dintsi tse di fetileng o ne wa loga leano la gore re tshwanetse go dirisa matshelo go thusa ba bangwe.

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),

Se lebaleng gore lo kile lwa bo lo le baheitane, le gore Bajuta ba ne ba lo bitsa batho ba ba senang Modimo, ba ba “leswe”. (Mme le bone dipelo tsa bone di ne di santse di le leswe, le fa ba ne ba tsena mo dingwaong le mo medirong ya basiami, gonne ba ne ba ithupisa e le sesupo sa bomodimo).

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.

Gakologelwang gore malatsing ao lo ne lo tshela kwa ntle ga ga Keresete; lo ne lo le baba ba bana ba Modimo mme o ne o sa lo solofetsa thuso epe. Lo ne lo latlhegile, lo sena Modimo, lo sena tsholofelo.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

Mme jaanong lo ba ga Keresete, mme le fa lo kile lwa ne lo le kgakala le Modimo, jaanong lo tlisitswe gaufi le one ka ntlha ya se Keresete o se lo diretseng ka madi a gagwe.

14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,

Gonne Keresete ka sebele ke tsela ya rona ya kagiso. O dirile kagiso fa gare ga rona Bajuta le lona Badichaba ka go re dira bana ba lolwapa lo le longwe, a diga lorako lwa kilano e e tletseng lonyatso e e neng e re kgaoganya.

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,

Ka loso lwa gagwe o khutlisitse tsogologano le pifelano fa gare ga rona, e e neng e dirwa ke melao ya Sejuta e e neng e sireleditse Bajuta fela e kgetholola Badichaba, gonne o swetse gore a phimole tsela eo yotlhe ya melao ya Sejuta. Mme a tsaya ditlhopha tse pedi tse di neng di sa utlwane a di dira ditokololo tsa gagwe; ka go dira jalo a re bopaganya go nna motho a le mongwe yo mosha, mme lwa bofelo ga nna kagiso.

16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

Ka re le ditokololo tsa mmele wa gagwe, dikilano tsa rona di nyeletse, gonne rotlhe re letlantswe mo Modimong. Jalo he, lwa bofelo kgotlhang ya felela kwa mokgorong.

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

Mme o rile Mafoko a a Molemo a, a kagiso kwa go lona Badichaba ba lo neng lo le kgakala thata nae, le kwa go rona Bajuta ba re neng re le gaufi.

18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

Jaanong rotlhe fela, Bajuta kgotsa Badichaba, re ka tla kwa Modimong Rara ka thuso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo ka ntlha ya se Keresete o se re diretseng.

19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

Jaanong ga lo sa tlhole lo le baeng mo Modimong le bajaki mo legodimong, mme lo ba lolwapa lwa Modimo tota, ebile lo ba ntlo ya one mmogo le Bakeresete botlhe.

20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

A motheo o montle o lo emeng mo go one jaanong jaana: ebong baaposetoloi le baporofiti: Jesu Keresete ka sebele e leng lentswe la kago la kgokgotshwana.

21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

Rona ba re dumelang re lomagantswe sentle le Keresete jaaka ditokololo tsa tempele e ntle ya Modimo e e golelang pele.

22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

Mme le lona lo lomagantswe nae le ba bangwe ke Mowa, jalo lo tokololo ya ntlo e ya Modimo.
