Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
O na inyuĩ-rĩ, mwarĩ akuũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũremi wanyu na mehia manyu,
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
marĩa mwatũũraga thĩinĩ wamo rĩrĩa mwarũmagĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya thĩ ĩno na mĩthiĩre ya mwathi wa ũthamaki wa rĩera-inĩ, o roho ũrĩa ũraruta wĩra rĩu thĩinĩ wa arĩa mataathĩkagĩra Ngai. (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.
O na ithuĩ ithuothe-rĩ, kũrĩ hĩndĩ twatũũranagia nao, twaathagwo nĩ thuti cia mĩĩrĩ iitũ, na tũkarũmagĩrĩra merirĩria na maũndũ marĩa meciiragio nĩ ngoro. O ta acio angĩ-rĩ, ha ũhoro wa kĩĩmerera-rĩ, twatũũire tũrĩ a kũrakarĩrwo.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
No tondũ wa wendo wake mũnene harĩ ithuĩ, Ngai, o we ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha nyingĩ,
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
nĩatũmire tũgĩe na muoyo hamwe na Kristũ o rĩrĩa twarĩ akuũ nĩ ũndũ wa mehia maitũ tondũ nĩ wega wa Ngai watũmire mũhonokio.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Nake Ngai agĩtũriũkanĩria hamwe na Kristũ na agĩtũikaria thĩ hamwe nake kũu igũrũ tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)
Eekire ũguo nĩgeetha matukũ marĩa magooka onanie kũrĩ ithuĩ wega wake mũingĩ ũrĩa ũtangĩgereka kũrĩ ithuĩ, nĩ ũrĩa atũire atũtugaga thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Nĩ ũndũ nĩ wega wa Ngai watũmire mũhonokio nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia, naguo ũndũ ũcio nduoimanire na inyuĩ ene, no nĩ kĩheo kĩa Ngai,
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
na ti ũndũ wa mawĩra marĩa mwanaruta, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe na mũndũ o na ũmwe ũkwĩgooca.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Nĩgũkorwo ithuĩ tũrĩ wĩra wa moko ma Ngai, tũmbĩĩtwo thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩguo twĩkage ciĩko njega iria irutaga wĩra mwega, ũrĩa Ngai aahaarĩirie o mbere nĩ ũndũ witũ nĩguo tũtũũre tũciĩkaga.
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),
Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, ririkanai atĩ tene inyuĩ arĩa mũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ na ũndũ wa gũciarwo, o inyuĩ mwĩtagwo “andũ arĩa mataruaga” nĩ arĩa meĩĩtaga “andũ arĩa maruaga” (kũrua kũu no ũndũ wĩkĩtwo mwĩrĩ na moko ma andũ),
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.
ririkanai atĩ hĩndĩ ĩyo mwatũũrĩte mwamũranĩtio na Kristũ, mwarĩ ageni na mũtiarĩ a gĩkundi kĩa andũ a Isiraeli na ha ũhoro wa irĩkanĩro iria Ngai eeranĩire, inyuĩ mũtiarĩ a ho. Mwatũũrĩte gũkũ thĩ mũtarĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro na mũtarĩ na Ngai.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
No rĩu, thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, inyuĩ arĩa hĩndĩ ĩmwe mwarĩ kũraya, rĩu nĩmũreharehetwo hakuhĩ nĩ ũndũ wa thakame ya Kristũ.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Nĩgũkorwo we mwene nĩwe thayũ witũ, o we watũmire ithuĩ twarĩ eerĩ tũtuĩke ũmwe, na agĩtharia rũirigo rwa rũmena rũrĩa rwatũgayanĩtie,
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,
nĩ ũndũ nĩaniinire watho hamwe na maathani maguo, o na irĩra ciaguo, na ũndũ wa kũruta mwĩrĩ wake. Agĩgĩĩka ũguo nĩgeetha ombe thĩinĩ wake mwene mũndũ ũmwe mwerũ kuuma harĩ acio eerĩ, naguo ũndũ ũcio ũtũme kũgĩe thayũ,
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
na nĩgeetha thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũcio ũmwe, amaiguithanie na Ngai na ũndũ wa mũtharaba, ũrĩa aahũthĩrire kũniina rũmena rwao.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Kristũ ookire akĩmũhunjĩria thayũ inyuĩ arĩa mwarĩ kũraya, o na thayũ kũrĩ arĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Na thĩinĩ wake ithuĩ a iruka icio cierĩ nĩtũkinyaga kũrĩ Ithe witũ na ũndũ wa Roho o ro ũmwe.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, rĩu inyuĩ mũtirĩ ageni na agendi rĩngĩ, no nĩmũtuĩkĩte ene bũrũri hamwe na andũ a Ngai, na mũgatuĩka andũ a nyũmba ya Ngai,
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
mũgagĩakwo igũrũ rĩa mũthingi wa atũmwo na anabii, nake Kristũ Jesũ we mwene agakorwo nĩwe ihiga rĩrĩa inene rĩa koine.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Thĩinĩ wake mwako wothe nĩũnyiitanĩte, na ũgakĩneneha o nginya ũgatuĩka hekarũ theru thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Na nĩ thĩinĩ wake o na inyuĩ mũraakwo hamwe nĩguo mũtuĩke gĩikaro gĩa gũikarwo nĩ Ngai na ũndũ wa Roho wake.
