Ephesians 2

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

Ary ianareo dia efa novelominy, fony mbola matin’ ny fahadisoanareo sy ny fahotanareo,

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.

izay nalehanareo fahiny, araka ny fomban’ izao tontolo izao, araka ny mpanapaka ny fanjakana eny amin’ ny rivotra, dia ny fanahy izay miasa ankehitriny ao anatin’ ny zanaky ny tsi-fanarahana; (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.

teo amin’ ireo no nitondrantsika rehetra tena koa fahiny tamin’ ny filan’ ny nofontsika, ka nanaovantsika ny danin’ ny nofo sy ny saina; ary araka ny toetsika dia zanaky ny fahatezerana toy ny sasany koa isika.

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

Fa Andriamanitra, Izay manan-karena amin’ ny famindram-po, noho ny halehiben’ ny fitiavany izay nitiavany antsika,

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

na dia fony mbola matin’ ny fahadisoana aza isika, dia nahavelona antsika niaraka tamin’ i Kristy (fahasoavana no namonjena anareo);

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

ary niara-natsangany isika ka niara-napetrany any an-danitra ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy,

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;

mba hasehony amin’ ny andro ho avy ny haben’ ny haren’ ny fahasoavany amin’ ny fahamoram-panahiny amintsika ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy. (aiōn g165)

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

Fa fahasoavana no namonjena anareo amin’ ny finoana; ary tsy avy aminareo izany, fa fanomezana avy amin’ Andriamanitra;

9 not of works, that no one would boast.

tsy avy amin’ ny asa, fandrao hisy hirehareha.

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

Fa asany isika, voaforona tao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy mba hanao asa tsara, izay namboarin’ Andriamanitra rahateo mba handehanantsika eo aminy.

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),

Koa tsarovy fa fahiny ianareo izay jentilisa araka ny nofo, ka nolazain’ ny voaforan-tanana teo amin’ ny nofo hoe tsy voafora ―

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.

eny, tsarovy fa tamin’ izany andro izany dia tsy nanana an’ i Kristy ianareo, fa olon-ko azy tamin’ ny fanjakan’ ny Isiraely ary vahiny tamin’ ireo faneken’ ny teny fikasana, dia tsy nanana fanantenana sady tsy nanana an’ Andriamanitra teo amin’ izao tontolo izao;

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

fa ankehitriny kosa, ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy, ianareo izay lavitra fahiny dia efa nampanakeken’ ny ran’ i Kristy.

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

Fa Izy no fihavanantsika, Izay nahiray antsika roa tonta ka nandrava ny efitry ny fisarahana,

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,

fa tao amin’ ny nofony no nandravany ny fandrafiana, dia ny lalàna nisy didy natao hotandremana, mba hanakambanany antsika roa tonta ao amin’ ny tenany ho olom-baovao iray, ka hanaovany fihavanana,

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

ary hampihavana antsika roa tonta ho tena iray amin’ Andriamanitra noho ny hazo fijaliana, izay namonoany ny fandrafiana.

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

Ary tonga Izy ka nitory teny soa mahafaly milaza fihavanana taminareo izay lavitra ary fihavanana tamin’ izay akaiky koa.

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

Fa Izy no ananantsika roa tonta fanatonana amin’ ny Fanahy iray ho any amin’ ny Ray.

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

Koa dia tsy mba vahiny sy mpivahiny intsony ianareo, fa tompon-tany, mpiray fanjakana amin’ ny olona masìna sady ankohonan’ Andriamanitra,

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

natsangana teo ambonin’ ny fanorenan’ ny Apostoly sy ny mpaminany, ary Kristy Jesosy no fehizoro indrindra;

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

ao aminy no irafetan’ ny rafitra rehetra, mitombo tsara ho tempoly masìna ao amin’ ny Tompo.

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

Ary ao aminy no miaraka aorina koa ianareo ho fonenan’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny Fanahy.
