Abhaefeso 2

1 Lwakutyo aliga mufuye mu bhikayo na mubhibhibhi bhyemwe.

You, who were dead in trespasses and in your sins,

2 Jaliga jilyati kala mwagendaga okulubhana no mwanya gwe chalo chinu. Mwaliga nimugenda kwo kulubha omutangasha wo bhuinga bhwa mulutumba. Gunu nigwo omwoyo gwae unu kakola emilimu mu bhana bhwo bhujabhi. (aiōn g165)

in which at one time you walked about according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit which is now working in the sons of disobedience; (aiōn g165)

3 Eswe bhona anu kubhwambilo aliga chili amwi mwa bhanu bhatekilishaga. Chaliga nichikumisha ogomubhili no obhwiganilisha bhweswe. Chaliga chili bhobhusimuka bha lisungu lwa bhanu bhandi.

among whom we all indeed at one time lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by nature the children of wrath, like the rest also:

4 Nawe Nyamuanga ni mwamfu we chigongo kulwelyenda lyae enene linu achendele eswe.

but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,

5 Omwanya gunu chaliga chili bhafu ku lwe bhikayo bhyeswe, achiletele amwi mubhulame bhuyaya munda ya Kristo. Ni kwe chigongo chakisibhwe.

created life in us in Christ, who were dead in trespasses, by grace you have been saved,

6 Nyamuanga achisuluye amwi no kuchikola okwikala amwi mulwile munda ya Kristo Yesu.

and he has raised you up, and caused you to sit in the heavenlies, in Christ Jesus:

7 Akolele kutya koleleki omwanya gunu oguja obhone okuchelesha obhunibhi bhunene ku lwe chigongo chae. Kacholesha eswe kwa injila yo bhufula bhwae munda ya Kristo Yesu. (aiōn g165)

in order that he may show in coming ages the superabounding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 Ku lwechigongo mwachunguhye ku lwelikisha. Na inu itasokele kwiswe. Ni chiyanwa cha Nyamuanga.

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Itakusokana mu bhikolwa. atajakubhao umwi mwimwe owokwikuya.

not of works, in order that no one may boast:

10 Kulwokubha eswe chili milimu ja Nyamuanga, chimogelwe mu Kristo Yesu okukola ebhikolwa bhyo bhwana. Nibhikolwa bhinu Nyamuanga ateewo osoka kala ingulu yeswe, koleleki chilibhate mwago.

for we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

11 Kulwejo mwichuke ati kala eyo yaliga mulibhanu bha manyamahanga ku lwa ingulu yo mubhili. Mubhilikilwa bhanu “bhanu mutatendele” kulwachinu echibhilikilwa okutenda kwo mubhili inu eikolwa kwa mabhoko go mwana munu.

Therefore remember, that when you were Gentiles in the flesh, called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, made in the flesh with hands;

12 Kumwanya ogwo yaliga mwauhye na Kristo. Mwaliga mulibhagenyi ku bhanu bha Israel. Yaliga muli bhagenyi ku mulago. Aliga mutana bwiikanyo bhwo mwanya gunu gwajaga. Mwaliga mutana Nyamuanga muchalo.

because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world.

13 Nawe woli mu Yesu Kristo emwe bhanu kubhwambilo yaliga mulikula na Nyamuanga muletelwe yeyi ku lwa insagama ya Kristo.

But now you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 Kulwokubha omwene niwe omulembe gweswe. Akolele bhabhili okubha umwi. Ku lwomubhili gwae anyamuye indugu yo kusololwa inu yaliga ichisololele, obhusoko.

For he is our peace, the one having made both one, and having broken down the middle wall of partition,

15 Mbe, asimagisishe ebhilagilo na katungilwe koleleki akole munu umwi munda yae. Nakola omulembe.

having destroyed the law of commandments in ordinances, through his flesh, the enmity, in order that He might create the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

16 Akolele kutya koleleki abhate amwi maijo gabhili ga bhanu bhabhwe mubhili gumwi ku Nyamuanga okulabhila omusabha. Ku lwo musalabha abhuselekele obhusoko.

and that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in.

17 Yesu ejile no kulasha omulembe kwimwe emwe bhanu mwaliga mulikula no mulembe na bhanu bhaliga bhali yeyi.

And having come he preached the gospel of peace to you, who were far away, and peace to them who were nigh:

18 Kulwokubha kwa injila ya Yesu eswe bhona bhabhili chili no bhwanya ku Mwoyo umwi okwingila ku Lata. Kulwejo woli, emwe abhanu

because through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

19 bha bhanyamahanga mutali lindi bhagosoye na bhagenyilindi. Tali muli bhekasi amwi na bhanu mwauhye kulwainsonga ya Nyamuanga na bhakosi munyumba ya Nyamuanga.

Then therefore you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God,

20 Mumbakilwe ingulu yo musingi gwa jintumwa na bhalagi. Kristo Yesu omwenene aliga alibhuyi ekulu lya kumbali.

having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone,

21 Ku mwene liyumba lyona lyumbakilwe no kubha kuti heyekalu munda ya Latabhugenyi.

in whom the entire edifice, being assimilated, increases into a holy temple in the Lord;

22 Ni munda ya emwe ona mumbakilwe amwi kuti lubhaju lwo kwikala ku Nyamuanga mu Mwoyo.

in whom also you are built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.
