Efisa 2

1 Nangcae sakpazaehaih hoi zaehaih thungah na duek o naah anih mah ang pathawk o;

And you were once dead in your sins and offenses,

2 canghniah loe hae long atawk baktih, takhi ukkung angraeng koehhaih baktiah na oh o, to muithla loe vaihi doeh lok tahngai ai kaminawk khaeah toksak: (aiōn g165)

in which you walked in times past, according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of this sky, the spirit who now works in the sons of distrust. (aiōn g165)

3 canghniah loe aicae boih doeh tang ai kaminawk salakah taksa koehhaih baktiah a sak o toeng, taksa hoi palung mah koeh ih baktih toengah a sak o; kalah kaminawk baktiah, aicae doeh taksa ah palungphuihaih katongh kami ah a oh o.

And we too were all conversant in these things, in times past, by the desires of our flesh, acting according to the will of the flesh and according to our own thoughts. And so we were, by nature, sons of wrath, even like the others.

4 Toe palungnathaih hoiah kakoi, Sithaw mah kathuk parai angmah ih amlunghaih hoiah aicae to palung pongah,

Yet still, God, who is rich in mercy, for the sake of his exceedingly great charity with which he loved us,

5 zae thungah a duek o naah, Kri hoi nawnto aicae to hingsak let boeh, (tahmenhaih rang hoiah ni pahlong ah na oh o; )

even when we were dead in our sins, has enlivened us together in Christ, by whose grace you have been saved.

6 Anih mah aicae nawnto pathawk moe, Kri Jesu rang hoiah van ahmuen ah aicae han anghnuthaih ahmuen to paek boeh.

And he has raised us up together, and he has caused us to sit down together in the heavens, in Christ Jesus,

7 Anih mah Kri Jesu rang hoiah angzo han koi adung ah, a palungnathaih hoi kathuk parai tahmenhaih to amtuengsak tih. (aiōn g165)

so that he may display, in the ages soon to arrive, the abundant wealth of his grace, by his goodness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 Nangcae loe tahmen pongah, tanghaih rang hoiah, pahlong ah na oh o; nangmacae koehah hak ih na ai ni: Sithaw ih tangqum ni:

For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God.

9 toksakhaih rang hoiah hak ih na ai ni, to tiah nahaeloe mi kawbaktih doeh amoek han om ai.

And this is not of works, so that no one may glory.

10 Hmuen kahoih a sak o thai hanah, Kri Jesu ah sak ih kami ah a oh o moe, a ban thung hoi tacawt kami ah a oh o, to baktih kahoih hmuen thungah a caeh o thai hanah, Sithaw mah paroep coek boeh.

For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has prepared and in which we should walk.

11 To pongah nangcae loe canghniah taksa ah Gentel kami ah na oh o, taksa ah ban hoi tangzat hin aat kaminawk mah, tangzat hin aat ai kami, tiah ang kawk o ih lok to poek oh;

Because of this, be mindful that, in times past, you were Gentiles in the flesh, and that you were called uncircumcised by those who are called circumcised in the flesh, something done by man,

12 to nathuem ah Kri na tawn o ai vop, Israel kaminawk khaeah angvin ah na oh o pongah, lokkamhaih thungah kaom lokmaihaih thung hoiah doeh angvin ah na oh o; long nuiah Sithaw tawn ai ah na oh o moe, oephaih tawn ai kami ah na oh o:

and that you were, in that time, without Christ, being foreign to the way of life of Israel, being visitors to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and being without God in this world.

13 canghniah kangthla ah kaom nangcae loe vaihi Kri ih athii rang hoiah Kri Jesu ah kanghnai ah na oh o boeh.

But now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were in times past far away, have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

14 Anih loe aicae misa angdaehhaih ah oh, aicae salakah kaom pakaa ih tapang to phraek moe, hnetto to maeto ah a sak boeh;

For he is our peace. He made the two into one, by dissolving the intermediate wall of separation, of opposition, by his flesh,

15 a taksa ah misa ah kaom, toksak han kangaih kaalok hoi atawknawk to a phraek; Angmah ah acaeng hnetto to kangtha acaeng maeto ah a sak, to tiah misa angdaehaih to a sak;

emptying the law of commandments by decree, so that he might join these two, in himself, into one new man, making peace

16 thinglam rang hoiah acaeng hnetto to takpum maeto ah a sak, Sithaw khaeah to tiah angdaehhaih to a sak hmaek moe, misa ah ohhaih to a dueksak:

and reconciling both to God, in one body, through the cross, destroying this opposition in himself.

17 Anih loe kangthla ah kaom nangcae khae hoi kazoi ah kaom kaminawk khaeah angzoh moe, angdaehhaih tamthanglok to thuih.

And upon arriving, he evangelized peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near.

18 Anih rang hoiah aihnik loe Muithla maeto ah Ampa khae akun thaihaih a tawn hoi.

For by him, we both have access, in the one Spirit, to the Father.

19 To pongah nangcae loe vaihi acaeng kalah kami hoi angvin ah na om o ai boeh, prae kami hoi kaciim kami, Sithaw imthungah kaom kami ah ni na oh o boeh;

Now, therefore, you are no longer visitors and new arrivals. Instead, you are citizens among the saints in the household of God,

20 nangcae loe patoeh ih kaminawk hoi tahmaanawk nuiah sak ih im ah ni na oh o boeh, Jesu Kri angmah loe im takii ah tling ih kalen koek thlung ah oh,

having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and of the Prophets, with Jesus Christ himself as the preeminent cornerstone.

21 im boih thlung hoi nawnto peh moe, Angraeng ah qoeng tahang pongah, kacai tempul maeto ah oh:

In him, all that has been built is framed together, rising up into a holy temple in the Lord.

22 Muithla ah kaom Sithaw ohhaih ahmuen ah oh thai hanah, nangcae doeh kaicae hoi nawnto im to na sak o toeng.

In him, you also have been built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.
