ʻEfesō 2

1And you were dead in the trespasses and sins

1PEA ko kimoutolu, naʻa mou mate ʻi he ngaahi talangataʻa mo e angahala;

2in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—

2‌ʻAia naʻa mou ʻaʻeva ai ʻi muʻa ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻalunga ʻoe māmani, ʻo taau mo e ʻeiki ʻoe mālohi ʻoe ʻatā, ʻae laumālie ʻoku ngāue ni ʻi he fānau talangataʻa:

3among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

3‌ʻAia naʻa tau fai fakataha ai kotoa pē ʻi muʻa, ʻi he ngaahi holi kovi ʻa hotau kakano, ʻo fai ki he ngaahi holi ʻoe kakano mo e loto; pea ʻi he ʻulungāanga ko e fānau ʻoe houhau, ʻo hangē ko e kakai kotoa pē.

4But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

4Ka ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku mohu ʻaloʻofa, ʻi heʻene ʻofa lahi naʻa ne ʻofeina ai ʻakitautolu,

5even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

5‌ʻIo, lolotonga ʻetau mate ʻi he ngaahi angahala, kuo ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu fakataha mo Kalaisi, (kuo mou moʻui ʻi he ʻofa;)

6and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

6Pea kuo ne fokotuʻu hake fakataha, ʻo ne fakanofo ʻakitautolu ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:

7so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

7Koeʻuhi ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻe haʻu ke ne fakahā hono lahi ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻofa ʻi heʻene angalelei kiate kitautolu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.

8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

8He ʻoku mou moʻui ʻi he ʻofa pe ʻi he tui; pea ʻoku ʻikai meiate kimoutolu ia: ka ko e foaki ʻae ʻOtua:

9not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

9‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngāue, telia naʻa polepole ai ha tangata.

10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

10He ko ʻene ngāue ʻakitautolu, kuo fakatupu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ki he ngaahi ngāue lelei, ʻaia kuo tomuʻa tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻaʻeva ai ʻakitautolu.

11Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands—

11Ko ia manatu, ko e Senitaile fakakakano ʻakimoutolu ʻi muʻa, naʻe ui “ko e Taʻekamu” ʻe ia ʻoku ui ko e Kamu, ʻi he kakano, naʻe fai ʻe he nima;

12remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

12Koeʻuhi ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻa mou masiva Kalaisi ai, ko e ʻāuhe ʻakimoutolu mei he puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau muli ki he ngaahi fuakava ʻoe talaʻofa, ʻo taʻehaʻamanakilelei, pea taʻemaʻu ʻae ʻOtua ʻi māmani:

13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

13Ka ko eni, ko e meʻa ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ko kimoutolu naʻe mamaʻo atu ʻi muʻa, kuo fakaofi ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi.

14For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility

14He ko hotau melinoʻanga ia, ʻaia kuo ne ngaohi ʻae ua ke taha pe, pea kuo ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻā vahevahe ʻi loto;

15by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,

15Pea kuo ne ikuna ʻi hono sino ʻae taufehiʻa, ʻio, ʻae fono ʻoe ngaahi fekau naʻe tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni; ke ne fakatupu ʻiate ia ʻi he ua ʻae tangata foʻou pe taha, pea fakamelino ai;

16and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.

16Pea koeʻuhi ke fakalelei fakatouʻosi pe ki he ʻOtua ʻi he sino pe taha ʻi he ʻakau, kuo ʻosi ʻene tāmateʻi ʻaki ia ʻae taufehiʻa:

17And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near.

17Pea haʻu ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae melino kiate kimoutolu naʻe mamaʻo atu, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe ofi.

18For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

18He ko e meʻa ʻiate ia ʻoku tau maʻu fakatouʻosi ʻae hokoʻanga ʻi he Laumālie pe taha ki he Tamai.

19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

19Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ai ko e kau muli mo e kau ʻāunofo ʻakimoutolu, ka ko e kaunga kolo mo e kāinga māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e fale ʻoe ʻOtua.

20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,

20Pea kuo fokotuʻu ki he tuʻunga ʻae kau maka tuliki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi pe;

21in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

21‌ʻAia ʻoku fehokotaki lelei ai ʻae fale kotoa, pea tupu ia ko e fale māʻoniʻoni ki he ʻEiki:

22In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

22‌ʻAia kuo langa fakataha ai foki ʻakimoutolu, ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he Laumālie.
