Waefeso 2
1 Katya kabhele kamyele mmfuili ni makosa gha thambi sya yhomo.
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
2 Yayele kup'etela agha kuanza mwalotili kulengana ni magono gha ulimwengu obho. Mwayele kulota kwa kufuata mtawala wa mamulaka gha kunani. Eye ndo roho yiaki yhola yaifuanya mbho mubhana bha kuasi. (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 Nitete tabhoa kamuandi tayele kujo abha bhabhiamini lepi. Tayela kukeka namuna ya tamaa si baya sa mibhele ya yhoto. Tayela kuketa mapenzi gha mbhele ni ufahamu bhuitu. Tayele kiasili bhana bha ghazabu kujo bhamana.
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 Jobha K'yara mwingi wa rehema kwa upendo wa muene ubhaa wa kutugana tete.
But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 Magono ghatayele bhafu kup'etela makosa ghitu, atuletili pamonga mu maisha mapya mugati mwa Kristu. Ndo neema ya kuwa tuokolibhu.
made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
6 K'yara atufufuili pamonga ni kutuketa tutamai pamonga mu mahali kumbinguni mugati mwa Kristu Yesu.
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 Aketili naa ili maghono ghaghihida abhwesyai kututalasya ukifu wa neema ya muene. Akatulasya tete ele kwa njela ya wema wa muene mugati mwa Yesu Kristu. (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 Kwa neema mmokolibhu kwa njela ya imani. Na eye yahomilihee kwa tete. Ni zawadi ya K'yara.
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 Yitokana hee ni matendo. matokeo ghaki, asiyi mmonga wa kujisifu.
not by works, so that no one can boast.
10 Kwa ndabha tete ndo mbhombho ya K'yara tubhombibhu kup'etela Kristu Yesu kuketa mambo ghamana. Ndo matendo agha ambagho K'yara aghapangili tokea muandi kwajia ya tete, ili tugendai kup'etela agha.
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 Kwa ele mkombhokai ya kuwa apabahi kamuandi mwayele bhanu bha mataifa kwa namna ya mbhele. Mwikutibhwa “mwamdulili tohara” kwa kela kakikutibhwa tohara ya mbhele yayifanyibhwa ni kibhoko kya binadamu.
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 Kwa magono ghala mwayele kujomtengibhu ni Kristu. Mwayele mwabhageni kwa bhanu bhaku Israel. Mwayele mwabhageni mu agano la ahadi. Mwayehee ni uhakika wa magono ghaghihida. Mwayele bila K'yara mu ulimuengu.
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 Ila henu kup'etela Kristu Yesu muenga ambabho lola mnandi mwayele patali ni K'yara mletibhu papipi ndabha ya muasi wa Kristu.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
14 Kwa ndabha muene ndo amani yhitu. Aketili mabhele kuya limongaki mbhele bhuake ahalibu ukuta was utengano about was yele utenganisi bhu, obho ndo uadui.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility
15 Ndabha akomishi sheria ya amuri ni kanuni ya kuwa abhomba munu mmonga mpya mugati mwa muene. Aketili amani.
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 Aketili naaili kubhapatanisya makundi mabhele gha bhanu kuya mbhele wu mmonga kwa K'yara kup'etela n'salaba. kwa njela ya n'salaba abhosili uadui.
and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.
17 su ahidili ni kutangasya amani kwa yhomo muenga ya myele patali ni amani ni bhabhayele papipi.
He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
18 Kwa mana ya njela ya Yesu tete tabhoa tabhabhele tuyele ni nafasi kwa Roho mmonga yhola kuyingila kwa Dadi.
For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19 Efukabhele, muenga bhanu bha bha mataifa ni bhasafari ni bhageni kabh'ele. Ila ndo bhenyeji pamonga Ni bhala bhabhatengibhu kwajia ya K'yara ni bhujumbe kup'etela fyumba sya K'yara.
Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,
20 Mjengibhu panani pamsingi ya bhamitume na manabii. Kristu Yessu muene ayele liganga libhaa la kupembeni.
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.
21 Kup'etela muene lijengo lyoa liunganishibhu pamonga nikukola katya lihekalu mugati mwa Bwana.
In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
22 Ndo mugati muake muenga ninamu mwijengibhwa pamonga katya ndo mahali pakuishi pa K'yara kup'etela Roho.
And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.
