Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Konsa, nou te vin vivan an nan lè nou te fin mouri nan transgresyon ak peche nou yo.
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)
Nan sila yo menm, nou te konn mache oparavan yo, selon kous a mond sa a, selon prens a pwisans de lè a, lespri a ki koulye a menm ap aji nan fis a dezobeyisans yo. (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.
Pami yo, nou tou te konn viv nan dezi lachè nou, nan satisfè sa dezi lachè a ak lespri a te mande nou fè. Nou te pa lanati, zanfan lakòlè menm jan ak tout lòt yo.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Men Bondye, ki rich an mizerikòd, akoz gran amou Li ke Li te sèvi nan renmen nou an,
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
ki menm lè nou te deja mouri nan transgresyon nou yo, Li te fè nou viv ansanm avèk Kris. Pa lagras nou te sove a.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Li te leve nou avèk Li, epi te fè nou chita avèk Li nan lye selès yo, nan Kris Jésus,
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)
pou nan tan k ap vini yo, Li ta kapab montre nou richès a gras Li ki pi gran pase tout bagay, nan dousè Li anvè nou nan Jésus Kri. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Paske se pa lagras ke nou sove atravè lafwa. E sa pa de nou menm, se kado a Bondye a.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Li pa pa mwayen de zèv yo, pou pèsòn pa kapab vante tèt li.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Paske nou se èv Li, kreye an Jésus Kri pou fè bon zèv, ke Bondye te prepare davans pou nou ta kapab mache nan yo.
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),
Konsa, sonje, ke oparavan, nou menm, pèp etranje nan lachè yo, ki rele “Ensikonsi” pa sila ki rele pwòp tèt yo “Sikonsi” yo, ki fèt nan lachè pa men a lòm,
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.
sonje ke nou te nan tan sa a separe de Kris, andeyò de kominote Israël la, e etranje selon akò pwomès yo, san espwa, e san Bondye nan mond lan.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Men koulye a nan Kris Jésus, nou menm ki te oparavan byen lwen, nou gen tan vin touprè pa san a Kris la.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Paske Li menm, Li se lapè nou, ki te fè de gwoup sa yo vin yon sèl, e ki te kraze baryè miray divizyon an,
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,
lè L te aboli nan lachè Li, rayisman ki se lalwa kòmandman yo ki te nan tout règ yo, pou nan Li menm, Li ta kapab fè ak de pèp sa yo, yon sèl òm tounèf e konsa etabli lapè.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
Konsa, Li ta kapab rekonsilye yo toulède nan yon sèl kò pou Bondye atravè lakwa a, ki te mete rayisman sa a lanmò.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
“Epi Li te vin preche lapè a nou ki te byen lwen an, e lapè a sila ki te touprè yo.”
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Paske atravè Li menm, nou toulède gen aksè nan yon sèl Lespri a Papa a.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Konsa, nou pa etranje ak moun deyò ankò, men nou se sitwayen ansanm avèk sen yo, e manm fanmi a lakay Bondye a,
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
ki te bati sou fondasyon apot ak pwofèt yo, Kris Jésus Li menm kòm wòch la ki fòme ang prensipal la.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Nan Li menm tout kay la bati ansanm, epi ap grandi pou devni yon tanp ki sen nan Senyè a.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Nan Li menm, nou osi ap vin bati ansanm pou vini yon kote pou Lespri Bondye a kapab rete.
