Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Ní ti ẹ̀yin, ẹ̀yin ni ó sì ti sọ di ààyè, nígbà ti ẹ̀yin ti kú nítorí ìrékọjá àti àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín,
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.
nínú èyí tí ẹ̀yin ti gbé rí, àní bí ìlànà ti ayé yìí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláṣẹ agbára ojú ọ̀run, ẹ̀mí tí n ṣiṣẹ́ ni ìsinsin yìí nínú àwọn ọmọ aláìgbọ́ràn. (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.
Nínú àwọn ẹni tí gbogbo wa pẹ̀lú ti wà rí nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ara wa, a ń mú ìfẹ́ ara àti ti inú ṣẹ, àti nípa ìṣẹ̀dá àwa sì ti jẹ́ ọmọ ìbínú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ìyókù pẹ̀lú.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí í ṣe ọlọ́rọ̀ ni àánú, nítorí ìfẹ́ ńlá rẹ̀ tí ó fi fẹ́ wa,
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
nígbà tí àwa tilẹ̀ ti kú nítorí ìrékọjá wa, ó sọ wá di ààyè pẹ̀lú Kristi, oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ni a ti fi gbà yín là.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Ọlọ́run sì ti jí wa dìde pẹ̀lú Kristi, ó sì ti mú wa jókòó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọ̀run nínú Kristi Jesu.
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;
Pé ni gbogbo ìgbà tí ń bọ̀ kí ó bà á lè fi ọ̀rọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀ tí o pọ̀ rékọjá hàn fún wa nínú ìṣeun rẹ̀ sì wà nínú Kristi Jesu. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Nítorí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ní a fi gbà yín là nípa ìgbàgbọ́. Èyí kì í ṣe nípa agbára ẹ̀yin fúnra yín: ẹ̀bùn Ọlọ́run ni,
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
kì í ṣe nípa àwọn iṣẹ́, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ba à ṣògo.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Nítorí àwa ni iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí a ti dá nínú Kristi Jesu fún àwọn iṣẹ́ rere, èyí tí Ọlọ́run ti pèsè tẹ́lẹ̀, fún wa láti ṣe.
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),
Nítorí náà ẹ rántí pé, nígbà àtijọ́ rí, ẹ̀yin tí ẹ ti jẹ́ Kèfèrí nípa ti ìbí, tí àwọn tí a ń pè ní “aláìkọlà” láti ọwọ́ àwọn tí ń pe ara wọn “akọlà” (èyí ti a fi ọwọ́ ènìyàn ṣe sí ni ní ara).
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.
Ẹ rántí pé ni àkókò náà ẹ̀yin wà láìní Kristi, ẹ jẹ́ àjèjì sí Israẹli, àti àjèjì sí àwọn májẹ̀mú ìlérí náà, láìní ìrètí, àti láìní Ọlọ́run ni ayé.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí nínú Kristi Jesu ẹ̀yin tí ó ti jìnà réré nígbà àtijọ́ rí ni a mú súnmọ́ tòsí, nípa ẹ̀jẹ̀ Kristi.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Nítorí òun ni àlàáfíà wa, ẹni tí o ti ṣe méjèèjì ni ọ̀kan, tí ó sì ti wó ògiri ìkélé ti ìkórìíra èyí tí ń bẹ láàrín yín.
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,
Ó sì ti fi òpin sí ọ̀tá náà nínú ara rẹ̀, àní sí òfin àti àṣẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ń bẹ nínú ìlànà, kí ó lè sọ àwọn méjèèjì di ẹni tuntun kan nínú ara rẹ̀, kí ó sì ṣe ìlàjà
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
àti kí ó lè mú àwọn méjèèjì bá Ọlọ́run làjà nínú ara kan nípa àgbélébùú; nípa èyí tí yóò fi pa ìṣọ̀tá náà run.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Ó sì ti wá, ó sì ti wàásù àlàáfíà fún ẹ̀yin tí o jìnnà réré, àti àlàáfíà fún àwọn tí o súnmọ́ tòsí.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Nítorí nípa rẹ̀ ni àwa méjèèjì ti ni àǹfààní sọ́dọ̀ baba nípa Ẹ̀mí kan.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà ẹ̀yin kì í ṣe àlejò àti àjèjì mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n àjùmọ̀jogún ọmọ ìbílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, àti àwọn ará ilé Ọlọ́run;
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
a sì ń gbé yín ró lórí ìpìlẹ̀ àwọn aposteli, àti àwọn wòlíì, pẹ̀lú Jesu Kristi fúnra rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí pàtàkì òkúta igun ilé.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Nínú rẹ ni gbogbo ilé náà, tí a ń kọ wà papọ̀ ṣọ̀kan tí ó sì ń dàgbàsókè láti di tẹmpili mímọ́ kan nínú Olúwa.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Nínú rẹ̀ ni a ń gbé ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ró pẹ̀lú fún ibùjókòó Ọlọ́run nínú Ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
