¹and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins --

¹Ary ianareo dia efa novelominy, fony mbola matin'ny fahadisoanareo sy ny fahotanareo,

²in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience:

²izay nalehanareo fahiny, araka ny fomban'izao tontolo izao, araka ny mpanapaka ny fanjakana eny amin'ny rivotra, dia ny fanahy izay miasa ankehitriny ao anatin'ny zanaky ny tsi-fanarahana;

³among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:

³teo amin'ireo no nitondrantsika rehetra tena koa fahiny tamin'ny filan'ny nofontsika, ka nanaovantsika ny danin'ny nofo sy ny saina; ary araka ny toetsika dia zanaky ny fahatezerana toy ny sasany koa isika.

⁴but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁴Fa Andriamanitra, Izay manan-karena amin'ny famindram-po, noho ny halehiben'ny fitiavany izay nitiavany antsika,

⁵(we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)

⁵na dia fony mbola matin'ny fahadisoana aza isika, dia nahavelona antsika niaraka tamin'i Kristy (fahasoavana no namonjena anareo);

⁶and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

⁶ary niara-natsangany isika ka niara-napetrany any an-danitra ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy,

⁷that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.

⁷mba hasehony amin'ny andro ho avy ny haben'ny haren'ny fahasoavany amin'ny fahamoram-panahiny amintsika ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy.

⁸For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:

⁸Fa fahasoavana no namonjena anareo amin'ny finoana; ary tsy avy aminareo izany, fa fanomezana avy amin'Andriamanitra;

⁹not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.

⁹tsy avy amin'ny asa, fandrao hisy hirehareha.

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

¹⁰Fa asany isika, voaforona tao amin'i Kristy Jesosy mba hanao asa tsara, izay namboarin'Andriamanitra rahateo mba handehanantsika eo aminy.

¹¹Wherefore remember that *ye*, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;

¹¹[Ny famindram-pon'Andriamanitra amin'ny jentilisa amin'ny andraisany azy ho ao amin'ny fiangonana] Koa tsarovy fa fahiny ianareo izay jentilisa araka ny nofo, ka nolazain'ny voaforan-tanana teo amin'ny nofo hoe tsy voafora -

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

¹²eny, tsarovy fa tamin'izany andro izany dia tsy nanana an'i Kristy ianareo, fa olon-ko azy tamin'ny fanjakan'ny Isiraely ary vahiny tamin'ireo faneken'ny teny fikasana, dia tsy nanana fanantenana sady tsy nanana an'Andriamanitra teo amin'izao tontolo izao;

¹³but now in Christ Jesus *ye* who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.

¹³fa ankehitriny kosa, ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, ianareo izay lavitra fahiny dia efa nampanakeken'ny ran'i Kristy.

¹⁴For *he* is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,

¹⁴Fa Izy no fihavanantsika, Izay nahiray antsika roa tonta ka nandrava ny efitry ny fisarahana,

¹⁵having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

¹⁵fa tao amin'ny nofony no nandravany ny fandrafiana, dia ny lalàna nisy didy natao hotandremana, mba hanakambanany antsika roa tonta ao amin'ny tenany ho olom-baovao iray, ka hanaovany fihavanana,

¹⁶and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;

¹⁶ary hampihavana antsika roa tonta ho tena iray amin'Andriamanitra noho ny hazo fijaliana, izay namonoany ny fandrafiana.

¹⁷and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh.

¹⁷Ary tonga Izy ka nitory teny soa mahafaly milaza fihavanana taminareo izay lavitra ary fihavanana tamin'izay akaiky koa. [ Na: fiadanana; izahao Isa. 57.19]

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

¹⁸Fa Izy no ananantsika roa tonta fanatonana amin'ny Fanahy iray ho any amin'ny Ray.

¹⁹So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,

¹⁹Koa dia tsy mba vahiny sy mpivahiny intsony ianareo, fa tompon-tany, mpiray fanjakana amin'ny olona masina sady ankohonan'Andriamanitra,

²⁰being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,

²⁰natsangana teo ambonin'ny fanorenan'ny Apostoly sy ny mpaminany, ary Kristy Jesosy no fehizoro indrindra;

²¹in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;

²¹ao aminy no irafetan'ny rafitra rehetra, mitombo tsara ho tempoly masina ao amin'ny Tompo.Ary ao aminy no miaraka aorina koa ianareo ho fonenan'Andriamanitra amin'ny Fanahy.

²²in whom *ye* also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.

²²Ary ao aminy no miaraka aorina koa ianareo ho fonenan'Andriamanitra amin'ny Fanahy.
