¹And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

¹በበደላችሁና በኃጢአታችሁ ሙታን ነበራችሁ፤ በእነርሱም፥ በዚህ ዓለም እንዳለው ኑሮ፥ በማይታዘዙትም ልጆች ላይ አሁን ለሚሠራው መንፈስ አለቃ እንደ ሆነው በአየር ላይ ሥልጣን እንዳለው አለቃ ፈቃድ፥ በፊት ተመላለሳችሁባቸው።

²Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

³በእነዚህም ልጆች መካከል እኛ ሁላችን ደግሞ፥ የሥጋችንንና የልቡናችንን ፈቃድ እያደረግን፥ በሥጋችን ምኞት በፊት እንኖር ነበርን እንደ ሌሎቹም ደግሞ ከፍጥረታችን የቁጣ ልጆች ነበርን።

³Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

⁴ነገር ግን እግዚአብሔር በምሕረቱ ባለ ጠጋ ስለ ሆነ፥

⁴But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁵ከወደደን ከትልቅ ፍቅሩ የተነሣ በበደላችን ሙታን እንኳ በሆንን ጊዜ ከክርስቶስ ጋር ሕይወት ሰጠን፥ በጸጋ ድናችኋልና፥

⁵Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

⁶በሚመጡ ዘመናትም በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ለእኛ ባለው ቸርነት ከሁሉ የሚበልጠውን የጸጋውን ባለ ጠግነት ያሳይ ዘንድ፥ ከእርሱ ጋር አስነሣን በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስም በሰማያዊ ስፍራ ከእርሱ ጋር አስቀመጠን።

⁶And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

⁸ጸጋው በእምነት አድኖአችኋልና፤ ይህም የእግዚአብሔር ስጦታ ነው እንጂ ከእናንተ አይደለም፤

⁷That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

⁹ማንም እንዳይመካ ከሥራ አይደለም።

⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

¹⁰እኛ ፍጥረቱ ነንና፤ እንመላለስበት ዘንድ እግዚአብሔር አስቀድሞ ያዘጋጀውን መልካሙን ሥራ ለማድረግ በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ተፈጠርን።

⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast.

¹¹ስለዚህ እናንተ አስቀድሞ በሥጋ አሕዛብ የነበራችሁ፥ በሥጋ በእጅ የተገረዙ በተባሉት ያልተገረዙ የተባላችሁ፥ ይህን አስቡ፤

¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

¹²በዚያ ዘመን ከእስራኤል መንግሥት ርቃችሁ ለተስፋውም ቃል ኪዳን እንግዶች ሆናችሁ በዚህም ዓለም ተስፋን አጥታችሁ ከእግዚአብሔርም ተለይታችሁ ያለ ክርስቶስ ነበራችሁ።

¹¹Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

¹³አሁን ግን እናንተ በፊት ርቃችሁ የነበራችሁ በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ሆናችሁ በክርስቶስ ደም ቀርባችኋል።

¹²That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

¹⁴እርሱ ሰላማችን ነውና፤ ሁለቱን ያዋሐደ በአዋጅ የተነገሩትንም የትእዛዛትን ሕግ ሽሮ በመካከል ያለውን የጥል ግድግዳን በሥጋው ያፈረሰ፤ ይህም ከሁለታቸው አንድን አዲስን ሰው በራሱ ይፈጥር ዘንድ ሰላምንም ያደርግ ዘንድ፥

¹³But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁶ጥልንም በመስቀሉ ገድሎ በእርሱ ሁለታቸውን በአንድ አካል ከእግዚአብሔር ጋር ያስታርቅ ዘንድ ነው።

¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

¹⁷መጥቶም ርቃችሁ ለነበራችሁ ለእናንተ ሰላምን፥ ቀርበው ለነበሩትም ሰላምን የምስራች ብሎ ሰበከ፤

¹⁵Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

¹⁸በእርሱ ሥራ ሁላችን በአንድ መንፈስ ወደ አብ መግባት አለንና።

¹⁶And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

¹⁹እንግዲያስ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ ከቅዱሳን ጋር ባላገሮችና የእግዚአብሔር ቤተ ሰዎች ናችሁ እንጂ እንግዶችና መጻተኞች አይደላችሁም።

¹⁷And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

²⁰በሐዋርያትና በነቢያት መሠረት ላይ ታንጻችኋል፥ የማዕዘኑም ራስ ድንጋይ ክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ነው፤

¹⁸For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

²¹በእርሱም ሕንጻ ሁሉ እየተጋጠመ በጌታ ቅዱስ ቤተ መቅደስ እንዲሆን ያድጋል፤

¹⁹Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

²²በእርሱም እናንተ ደግሞ ለእግዚአብሔር መኖሪያ ለመሆን በመንፈስ አብራችሁ ትሠራላችሁ።

²⁰And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

²¹In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

²²In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
