Ephesians 2

1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

ܘܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܚܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܘܒܤܟܠܘܬܟܘܢ

2 in which you once walked according to the course of this age (aiōn g165), according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.

ܒܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܗܠܟܬܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܗܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܠܡܝܘܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܪܝܫ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܐܪ ܘܕܪܘܚܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܡܬܚܦܛܐ ܒܒܢܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܢܘܬܐ (aiōn g165)

3 We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

ܒܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܐܬܗܦܟܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܒܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܒܤܪܢ ܘܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܒܤܪܢ ܘܕܬܪܥܝܬܢ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܕܪܘܓܙܐ ܡܠܝܐܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܟܐ

4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܪ ܒܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܚܘܒܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܚܒܢ

5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

ܟܕ ܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܚܛܗܝܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܦܪܩܢ

6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

ܘܐܩܝܡܢ ܥܡܗ ܘܐܘܬܒܢ ܥܡܗ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

7 that in the ages (aiōn g165) to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;

ܕܢܚܘܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܘܒܤܝܡܘܬܗ ܕܗܘܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ (aiōn g165)

8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

ܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܦܪܩܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ

9 not of works, that no one would boast.

ܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܫܬܒܗܪ

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

ܒܪܝܬܐ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܐܬܒܪܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܛܝܒ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܗܠܟ

11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),

ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܗܕܝܢ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܕܒܤܪ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܘܡܬܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܒܒܤܪܐ

12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

ܘܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܢܘܟܪܝܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܘܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܘܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܗܘ ܠܕܝܬܩܐ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܤܒܪ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܐܠܗ ܒܥܠܡܐ

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܪܚܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܕܡܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ

14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,

ܗܘܝܘ ܓܝܪ ܫܝܢܢ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܬܪܬܝܗܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܘܫܪܐ ܤܝܓܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܨܥܬܐ

15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,

ܘܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ ܒܒܤܪܗ ܘܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܒܛܠ ܕܠܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܢܒܪܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܠܚܕ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܥܒܕ ܫܝܢܐ

16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

ܘܪܥܝ ܠܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܚܕ ܦܓܪ ܥܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܙܩܝܦܗ ܩܛܠ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ

17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.

ܘܐܬܐ ܤܒܪ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܪܚܝܩܐ ܘܠܩܪܝܒܐ

18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

ܡܛܠ ܕܒܗ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܩܘܪܒܐ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܪܘܚ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܐ

19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

ܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܘܬܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܢܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ

20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

ܘܐܬܒܢܝܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܕܢܒܝܐ ܘܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܪܝܫ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

ܘܒܗ ܡܬܪܟܒ ܟܠܗ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܘܪܒܐ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܡܪܝܐ

22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

ܟܕ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܡܬܒܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܥܡܪܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܘܚ
