Efisa 2

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

You, who were dead in trespasses and in your sins,

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 at one time you walked about according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit which is now working in the sons of disobedience; (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.

among whom we all indeed at one time lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by nature the children of wrath, like the rest also:

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

but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love 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; )

created life in us in Christ, who were dead in trespasses, by 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 you up, and caused you to sit in the heavenlies, 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)

in order that he may show in coming ages the superabounding riches of his grace in kindness 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 that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

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

not of works, in order that no one may boast:

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 workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

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;

Therefore remember, that when you were Gentiles in the flesh, called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, made in the flesh with hands;

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:

because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the 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 you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh 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, the one having made both one, and having broken down the middle wall of partition,

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;

having destroyed the law of commandments in ordinances, through his flesh, the enmity, in order that He might create the 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 that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in.

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

And having come he preached the gospel of peace to you, who were far away, and peace to them who were nigh:

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

because through him we both have access in 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;

Then therefore you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of 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 prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone,

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

in whom the entire edifice, being assimilated, increases 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 whom also you are built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.
