Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Mumasuba akunyuma mwalikuba mwafwa ku mushimu cebo cakutanyumfwila Lesa kayi ne bwipishi bwenu.
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)
Pakwinga pa cindico mwalikukonkela nshila shaipa sha cishici, mwalikunyufwila mwendeleshi mukulene wa mishimu yaipa wa mumpepo, mushimu waipa uwo eukute kwendeleshenga bantu batanyumfwili Lesa. (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.
Cakubinga twense twalikubeti endibo kayi twalikwinsa bintu kwelana ne bwikalo bwaipa bwakusemwa nabo. Kwinsa bintu bilayandanga mibili ne manjeyaulwa etu. Mu bwikalo bwetu bwakusemwa nabo bulico twalikuba twelela kutambula cisubulo ca Lesa celela bantu bonse.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Nomba luse lwa Lesa nkalupu kayi lusuno lwa Lesa ni lunene.
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Nambi twalikuba twafwa ku mushimu cebo ca bwipishi bwetu, Lesa walatuletela buyumi pamo ne Klistu. Ni kwina moyowa kwa Lesa ekwalamupulusha.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Pakwikatana pamo ne Klistu Yesu, Lesa walatutantika pamo ne Klistu kucishi ca kwilu kwambeti tukabeteke pamo nendiye.
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)
Lesa walenseci kwambeti bantu benshibe kukonempa kwa kwina moyo kwakendi kutambiki kupitila mulusuno lwa Lesa ndwalatulesha muli Klistu Yesu. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Pakwinga Lesa niwankumbo walamupulusha, cebo cakumushoma. Nte mungofu shenu mobene nsombi ni cipo ca Lesa.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Muntu nkakute kupuluka pacebo ca ncito shakendi, kutineti ngaulitunta.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Lino Lesa ewalatubamba mbuli ncetubele, neco pakwikatana ne Klistu Yesu walatubambila buyumi bwa ncito shaina isho nshalatubambilalimo kushinsa.
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),
Kamwanukani ncemwalikuba. “Amwe mwalasemweti bantu ba mishobo naimbi, nkamwalikuba bapalulwa” Mbuli ncebalikumukuwa Bayuda abo balikulibandeti “bapalulwa.” Kupalulwa uko bantu nkobalikwinsa pa mibili yabo.
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.
Pa cindi cisa mwalikuba patali ne Klistu, mwalikuba bantu bakunsa, nkamwalikuba bantu basalwa ne Lesa. Nkamwali kukute lubasu mumapangano Lesa ngalapangana ne bantu bakendi ayo alikuba ebakwa pa malayano. Mwalikwikala pa cishi capanshi kwakubula ciliconse ca kupembelela, nkamwali kumwishiba Lesa sobwe.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Nomba pacino cindi mpomwekatana ne Klistu, amwe mwalikuba patali ne Lesa, mwalesa pepi nendiye cebo ca lufu lwa Klistu.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Pakwinga Klistu mwine ewalatupa lumuno pakubaleta pamo Bayuda ne bantu bamo. Mpwalalibenga walamwaya lubumbu lwali kutupansanya ne kutupelanya.
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,
Yesu walaishikisha kumapwililisho milawo yonse ya Ciyuda ne malailile ne miyambo yonse ya Bayuda kwambeti pa mishobo ibili isa apangepo mushobo umo wekatana nendiye wela kuleta lumuno.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
Lufu lwakendi lwalapwisha kupelana kwalikuba pakati pa mishobo ibili isa kwambeti apange kuba mubili umo, pakwinseco walabaleta bonse pepi kuli Lesa.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Neco, Klistu walesa kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa lumuno kuli njamwe bamishobo naimbi omwalikuba patali ne Lesa, kayi ne ku Bayuda abo balikuba kendi pepi nendiye.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Pakwinga lino kupitila muli Klistu twense, Bayuda ne bantu bamishobo naimbi ngatucikonsha kushika pa menso a Lesa Bata mu Mushimu Uswepa umowo.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Neco, amwe bantu bamishobo naimbi ntamwe bantu bakunsa, nambi bensu sobwe. Amwe lino mulaba baneshi pamo ne bantu ba Lesa, mulaba banabendi Lesa.
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
Nenjamwe mulebakwa palulindi lwalebakwa nebatumwa ne bashinshimi, nomba nendi Klistu elibwe lya nkokola ya ng'anda.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Ewatabilisha ng'anda yonse ne kwikonempesha kwambeti ibe Ng'anda ya Swepa ya Mwami.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Pakwikatana pamo ne Klistu nenjamwe mulebakwanga pamo ne banenu bashoma Lesa kwambeti mube musena mwela kwikala Lesa kupitila mu Mushimu.
