Ephesians 2
1 And you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Kati yelo mwabile mwawile mu'makosa na sambi yinu.
2 Wherein in time past all of you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (pneuma) that now works in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)
Yabile mu'aga kwanza mwatiyenda lingana na nyakati ya ulimwengu huu. Mwabile mwatiboka kwa kunkengama ntawala wa mamlaka ya kumaunde. Ayee nga roho yake yolo apangaye kazi mu, bana ba kuasi. (aiōn g165)
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Twenga wote twabile nkati ya balo baaminiya kwaa hapo mwanzo. Twabile tupangite kwa namna ya tamaa inoite kwaa ya yega yitu. Twabile twapanga mapenzi ga yega yitu ni ufahamu witu. Twabile kwa asili ya bana ba dhahabu kati benge.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love (agape) wherewith he loved us,
Lakini Nnongo ywabile ni rehema yanyansima kwa sababu ya lipendo lyake likolo lyaatupendile twenga.
5 Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace all of you are saved; )
Muda twabile mu'kiwo mu'makosa yitu, atuletya pamope mu'maisha gaayambe nkati ya Kristo. Ni kwa neema kuwa nati lopolelwa.
6 And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Nnongo kayogolya mpamo ni kutupanga tama pamope mu'pandu pa'kumaunde nkati ya Kristo Yesu.
7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
Apangite nyoo ili muda waisa aweze kutubonekea utajiri nkolo wa neema yake. Utubonekeya twenga alee kwa ndela ya wema wake nkati ya Kristo Yesu. (aiōn g165)
8 For by grace are all of you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Kwa neema mupangilwe akochopoli kwa ndela ya imani. Na yee iboka kwaa kwitu. Ni zawadi ya Nnongo.
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Itokana kwaa ni makowe. Matokeo gake, abile kwaa mundu yumo ywa kujisifu.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
Kwa sababu twenga twabile kazi ya Nnongo. tuumbilwe mu'Kristo Yesu upanga makowe yanoite. Ni makowe aga ambayo Nnongo agapangite tangu zamani za kale kwaajili yitu, ili tutyange mu'agoo.
11 Wherefore remember, that all of you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Kwa nyo mukumbukye kuwa kunchogo mwabile bandu ba mataifa kwa namna ya yega. Mkemelwa”mbile kwaa ni tohara” kwa chelo chakemelwa tohara ya yega yapangilwe kwa maboko ga bandu.
12 That at that time all of you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Kwa muda woo mwabile mwati tengwa na Kristo. Mwabile ageni kwa bandu ba Israeli. Mwabile ageni kwa liagano lya ahadi. Mwabile kwaa ni uhakika wa muda uisile. Mwabile bila Nnongo mu'ulimwengu.
13 But now in Christ Jesus all of you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Lakini nambeambe mu'Kristo Yesu mwenga ambao kunchogo mwabile kutalu ni Nnongo mpangilwe papipi ni Nnongo kwa mwai ya Kristo.
14 For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Kwa mana ywembe nga amani yitu. Apangite abele kuwa yumo. Kwa yega yake atikuuharibu ukuta wa utengano wabile utitenganisha, huo uadui.
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; in order to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;
Kwamba atikuikomesha saliya ya amri na kanuni ili aumbile mundu yumo wayambe nkati yake. Apangite amani.
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Apangite nyoo ili kubakwembanisha makundi abele ya bandu kuwa yega yimo kwa Nnongo petya msalaba. Kwa ndela ya msalaba aupangite uadui kuwa kiwo
17 And came and preached peace to you which were far off, and to them that were nigh.
Yesu aisile ni kutangaza amani kwinu mwenga mwabile kutalu ni amani kwa balo babile papipi.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit (pneuma) unto the Father.
Kwa mana kwa ndela ya Yesu twenga abele tubile na nafasi kwa yolo Roho yumo kuyingya kwa Tate.
19 Now therefore all of you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Nyoo bai, mwenga bandu ba mataifa mwasafiri kwaa ni ageni kae. Ila mwa wenyeji pamope ni balo batengwile kwa ajili ya Nnongo ni ajumbe mu'nyumba ya Nnongo.
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Mchengwilwe nnani ya msingi wa mitume ni manabii. Kristo Yesu mwene abile liwe kolo lya mbembeni.
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Mu'ywembe lyengo lyoti latikuunganisha pamope ni kukua kati hekalu nkati ya Ngwana.
22 In whom all of you also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (pneuma)
Ni nkati yake mwenga mchengwilwe pamope kati mahali pa tamya pa Nnongo mu'Roho.
