Uafisawa 2

1 Anugh wa di, anan nkullari bara utazunu nin ntizu nalapi mine.

To you Gentiles also, who were dead through your offences and sins,

2 Na iwa malu uchinu nafo ucin nko kube. Nafo usu nakara ngoh in yie. Nin ruhum nlenge na adi katuwa nin nono nsalin lanzu nliru. (aiōn g165)

which were once habitual to you while you walked in the ways of this world and obeyed the Prince of the powers of the air, the spirits that are now at work in the hearts of the sons of disobedience--to you God has given Life. (aiōn g165)

3 Arike wang wan min di tisu nafo na nidowo bite di nin sun nsue. Nsu nimon kidowo nin kibinai, nan nya tiwa di nono tinana nayi nafo ngisinne.

Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.

4 Bara na Kutellẹ unan konnayiari gbardang bara usu me na adimun bara arike.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us,

5 Kubi ko na tiwa kuzu nanyan ntazunu bite, da a nin ghirik nanyan nlai upese ligowe nin Kristi-kitin bolu Kutellẹ na tizu minn.

caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ--it is by grace that you have been saved--

6 Akuru a fia nari ligowe a taa nari tiso ligowe niti kitene kani nin Kristi Yisa.

raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus,

7 Awa su nani bara bara kubi ncindak, aba dursu nari ngbardang nbolu me nin nayi ashau me in Kristi Yesu (aiōn g165)

in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace. (aiōn g165)

8 Bara ubolu nayi ashau me, inase utuchu nanya nyinnu sa uyenu. Ullele na dak bara nnuzu nati biteri ba, ullele uffillu Kutellẹri.

For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves. It is God's gift, and is not on the ground of merit--

9 Na bara katuwa bit ba. Na umon uwa foo figiri ba.

so that it may be impossible for any one to boast.

10 Arike vat imon katuwa Kutellẹ ari, awakẹ nari nan nyan Kristi Yisa tisu nituwa nicine. kangah na Kutellẹ wa kẹ ni nin uworsu bara tina su ucin nanye.

For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise.

11 Nin nani lizinon anunghe wanadi awurmi nan nya kidowo. Ulle na idin yichu minu “anan kuchuru alumai” ulle na idin yichu inin anan katu kuchuru in nya kidowo.

Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised--their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.

12 Na nkoni kubi iwa kosu munu nin Kristi. Iwa idi amara nan nya nono Israila. Nin namara kitene nyinu nin nalikawali. Na uyinu ni ile imun na idin bun ba. Nin sali Kutellẹ nanya inye.

At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world.

13 Vat nin nani nene nan nya Nkristi Yisa anughe alle na iwadi piit nin Kutelle inalle na dak susut kupo Kutellẹ nan nya mmii Kristi.

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

14 Amere nsusut lisosin liman bite, ullenge na a wa ti ku Yahudawa nin ku wurmi iso unit urum, kidowo me, awa kala liyarin longo naliwa kosu nari nan nati bite.

For He is our peace--He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,

15 Usso nafo, awa musuzu uduka nin nkaida anan saka ukke nanit apese nan nya nan awaba ane, ndak nin lisosin limang.

by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man,

16 Awa su nani bara akelẹ anite vat nan wabe iso kidowo kirum kiti Kutellẹ nan nya nnieu, ukull me na molu ivira kitik mine.

thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross--slaying by it their mutual enmity.

17 Yisa wadak ada belle ulirun lai nin tọp me kiti nalenge na iwadi pït, nin lisosin limang kiti nalenge na idi susut.

So He came and proclaimed good news of peace to you who were so far away, and peace to those who were near;

18 Bara kitin Yisa vat bite dimun libau lirum linse nfip milau kitin nchif bite.

because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father.

19 Bara nani anug na iwadi awurmi na idu amara ba, nin nani anun adondon lisosin nan nyan nyẹ nin nale na Kutellẹ na fere nani, allenge na ina piru nyan nono Kutellẹ.

You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons excluded from civil rights. On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people and are members of His family.

20 Allenge na iwa kẹ nan nya litino nnono kadura nin nanan nliru nin nu Kutellẹ, ame Yisa Kristi ame litime wa sọ litala likout.

You are a building which has been reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself,

21 Nin Likara Yisa, vat makekewe na nankilari me wase ligowe. Ita gbardang nafo kutien nliran na ina cheu kunin bara Chikilari.

in union with whom the whole fabric, fitted and closely joined together, is growing so as to form a holy sanctuary in the Lord;

22 Nanya me anun wang iwa kẹmunu liigowe nanya kiti lisosin Kutellẹ nanya nfip me.

in whom you also are being built up together to become a fixed abode for God through the Spirit.
