Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Alimwi kulindinywe, mwakalifwide mumilandu yenu azibi.
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)
Mwakali kupona kwindila kumuzuluzi wamulawu wamuuya, muuya oyo ulikubeleka mubana batakwe lulayo. (aiōn g165)
3 We also all once lived amongst 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.
Eelyo toonse twalikupona akati kabantu aba, kuzuzikizya makanze asiluuni wamibili yesu, akubweza makanze eenyama alimwi amiyeyo. Twakali kwindilila mubwiime bwabana babukali, mbuli bumwi bwabuntu. Twakali abuntu bwabwana babisya mbuli kuchita bamwi.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Pesi Leza ulabuvubi muluzyalo nkambo kaluyando lwakwe lupati oolo ndwakatuyandisya swe.
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Messiah—by grace you have been saved—
Nikuba twakalifwide mumilandu, wakatuchita bawumi antomwe muli Kkilisito aluzyalo mwakafutulwa.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua,
Leza wakatubusya antomwe a Kkilisito, alimwi Leza wakatuchita kuti tukkale a Kkilisitu, alimwi Leza wakatuchita kuti tukkale antomwe mumyenya yakujulu muli Kkilisitu Jesu.
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Messiah Yeshua; (aiōn g165)
Kuchitila kuti muminyaka iza akatondezya kulindiswe kulindiswe buvubi bwakwe bupati buteleki kwa luzyalo lwakwe lutondezegwe mulwetelelo lwakwe kulindiswe muli Kkilisitu Jesu. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Nkambo a luzyalo mwakafutulwa kwindila mulusyomo, alimwi echi techakazwa kulindinywe, nchipo cha Leza.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Pepe kuzwa kumilimo, kuchitila kuti takwe atakali kankayizye.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Nkambo tuli basimilimo ba Leza, bakalongezegwa muli Kkilisito Jesu kukuchita milimu mibotu eyo Leza njakatubambila kalekale, kuchitila kuti tukeende mulinjiiyo.
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),
Nkiinkako amuyeeye kuti bamaasi munyama mwiitwa kuti “chitapalwidwe” acheecho chitegwa a “kupalulwa. munyama chakuchitwa amaboko amuntu.
12 that you were at that time separate from Messiah, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Nkambo kachecho chiindi mwakalanzanisizigwe kuli Kkilisitu kamuli bazwakule kuchisi chamu Izilayeli, batuba kuzizuminano zyachisyomezyo, kamutakwe bulangizi alimwi nkakutakwe Leza munyika.
13 But now in Messiah Yeshua you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Messiah.
Pele lino muli Kkilisitu Jesu inywe nimwakali kule loko kuzwa kuli Leza mwakaboozegwa afwifwi kwindila mugaze lya Kkilisitu.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Nkambo ngonguwe lumuuno lwesu. Wakachita kuti kubili baabe umwi. Kwinda kunyama yakwe wakanyonyoona bulambo bwankoondo bwakatwanzanisizye.
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,
Nkinkako, wakalobya mulawu wamilawu amalayilile kuchitila kuti alenge muntu omwe mupya mulinguwe, nkokuti kube lumuuno.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
Kkilisito wakababoozya amwi bantu bobile mumubili omwe kuli Leza kwinda muchiingano, kukujaya nkondo yakali akati kabo.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Jesu wakasika akukambawuka makani mabotu aluumuno kulindinywe nimwakali kule alumuno kuli aabo bakali afwifwi.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Eelyo kwindilila muli Jesu toonse mutujana luswano mumuuya omwe kuli Taata.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and of the household of God,
Nkambo kaako, lino inywe nobamaasi tamuchili batuuba amazwakule pe. Nkokuti muli benyika yomwe abantu ba Leza basalala abantu bamung'anda ya Leza.
20 being built on the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, Messiah Yeshua himself being the chief cornerstone;
Chamba kuti mwakayakilwa entalisyo yabatumwa abasinsim, alimwi Kkilisito Jesu lwakwe ngonguwe bbwe lyachooko.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Mulinguwe ing'anda yoonse ikkwana oobotu antoomwe alimwikikkomena kabotu mbuuli tempele iisalala mu Mwami.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Mulinguwe omo mumulikuyakwa kabiyo antomwe mbuli chikkalilo cha-Jesu mu Muuya.
