Abhaefeso 2

1 Lwakutyo aliga mufuye mu bhikayo na mubhibhibhi bhyemwe.

You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and 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 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)

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.

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.

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

But God, being rich in mercy, for 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.

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

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

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places 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)

that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness towards 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, that no one would 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, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would 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 once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by 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.

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.

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

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in 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, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,

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

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,

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

and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

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

He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.

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

For through him we both have our 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.

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

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

being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

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

in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows 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 you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
