Ephisa 2

1 Nangmih khaw tholhdalhnah neh na tholhnah ah aka duek la na om uh.

And you being dead in the trespasses and in the sins (of you, *no)

2 Hnukbuet ah khaw ta kumhal kah Diklai khosing neh yilh dongkah saithainah boei banglam ni te dongah te na pongpa uh. Althanah kah a ca rhoek te a khuiah mueihla a tueng pah coeng. (aiōn g165)

in which once you walked according to the age world of this, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

3 Hnukbuet ah mamih boeih khaw pumsa hoehhamnah neh amih taengah kho n'sak uh. Pumsa neh kopoek kah kongaih te n'saii uh dongah a tloe rhoek kah a coengnah bangla kosi kah ca rhoek la n'om uh.

among whom also we ourselves all lived once in the desires of the flesh of us doing the things willed of the flesh and of [its] thoughts and (we were *N+kO) children by nature of wrath as even the rest.

4 Tedae rhennah neh kuirhang la aka om Pathen tah a lungnah a cungkuem dongah ni mamih n'lungnah.

But God rich being in mercy because of the great love of Him with which He loved us,

5 Mamih he tholhdalhnah ah duek la aka om rhoek pataeng Khrih neh n'thoh sak tih lungvatnah lamloh khang la na om uh coeng.

even being we dead in trespasses made [us] alive with Christ — by grace you are saved.

6 Amah neh n'thoh tih Khrih Jesuh rhangneh vaan ah n'ngoltun sak.

and He raised [us] up together and He seated [us] together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

7 Te daengah ni Khrih Jesuh lamloh mamih taengah rhennah neh aka thoeng ham a lungvatnah khuehtawn te a baetawt la kumhal ah a tueng eh. (aiōn g165)

in order that He may show in the ages that [are] coming (the surpassing riches *N+kO) of the grace of Him in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 Lungvatnah neh tangnah lamloh khang la na om uh coeng. Te te namamih kah moenih Pathen kah kutdoe ni.

For by grace you are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, [it is] of God the gift,

9 Khoboe kah moenih. Te dongah pakhat khaw hoemdam boel saeh.

not as a result of works, so that not anyone may boast.

10 Mamih tah Jesuh Khrih ah a suen a kutngo la n'om uh. Tekah khoboe then te Pathen loh a hmoel pai tih ni a soah m'pongpa pai eh.

Of Him for we are workmanship having been created in Christ Jesus for works good which prepared beforehand God, that in them we may walk.

11 Te dongah pumsa ah nangmih namtom loh hnukbuet kah te poek uh. Pumdul la a khue rhoek tah pumsa neh kutsai lamloh yahvinrhetnah te ni a thui.

Therefore do remember that formerly you yourselves the Gentiles in [the] flesh, the ones being named [the] uncircumcision by which is being named [the] circumcision in [the] flesh made by hands —

12 Te vaeng tue ah Khrih mueh la na om uh te ta. Israel kah khokung khomah te na hai uh tih olkhueh kah paipi te na kholong takuh. Ngaiuepnah om pawt bangla Diklai ah na dalrha uh.

for you were (in *k) time that [very] separate from Christ alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of the promise, hope not having and without God in the world;

13 Tedae nangmih hnukbuet kah Khrih Jesuh ah lakhla la aka om te Khrih thii dong lamloh rhep na om uh coeng.

Now however in Christ Jesus you yourselves the [ones] once being far off have become near by the blood of Christ.

14 Amah tah mamih kah rhoepnah la om. Panit pakhat la aka saii amah loh a pumsa dongkah thunkha la aka om vongtung pangbueng te khaw a phil coeng.

he himself for is the peace of us, which having made both one and the barrier of the fence having broken down,

15 Oltloek dongkah olpaek kah olkhueng te a hmil coeng. Te daengah ni panit te amah ah hlang thai pakhat la a suen vetih rhoepnah khaw a saii pai eh.

the hostility in the flesh of Him, the law of commandments in ordinances having annulled, so that the two He may create in (Him *N+kO) into one new man making peace,

16 Te daengah ni thunkha te thinglam lamloh a ngawn vetih panit te Pathen taengah pum pakhat la a moeithen sak eh.

and He may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross having slain the hostility by it;

17 Ha pawk vaengah lakhla kah nangmih taengah khaw rhoepnah, a yoei rhoek taengah khaw rhoepnah a phong.

And having come He evangelised peace to you the [ones] far off and (peace *no) to those [who are] near,

18 Amah lamloh pa taengah mueihla thikat neh boktlap la kunnah te n'dang uh.

For through Him we have the access both by one Spirit to the Father.

19 Te dongah kholong neh yinlai la na om uh voel tangloeng pawh. Tedae hlangcim rhoek kah pilnam neh Pathen kah imkhuikho la na om uh coeng.

So then no longer no longer are you strangers and aliens, but (are *no) fellow citizens of the saints and of the household of God

20 Caeltueih rhoek neh tonghma rhoek kah khoengim te a tlingtlawn thil uh coeng tih Khrih Jesuh amah he imkil la om.

having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, being [the] cornerstone Himself Christ Jesus

21 Amah dongah im pum te kiba tih Boeipa ah bawkim cim la rhoeng.

in whom [the] whole building being fitted together is increasing into a temple holy in [the] Lord,

22 Nangmih khaw Mueihla ah Khrih amah dongah Pathen kah khosaknah hmuen la n'dun.

in whom also you yourselves are being built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.
