¹Jumal on teinud elavaks ka teid, kes te olite surnud oma üleastumistes ja pattudes,

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

²milles te varem käisite selle maailma ajastu viisil, vürsti viisil, kellel on meelevald õhus, vaimu viisil, kes nüüdki on tegev sõnakuulmatute laste seas;

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:

³kelle seas ka meie kõik varem käisime oma lihalikes himudes, tehes liha ja mõtete tahtmist mööda, ning me olime loomu poolest viha lapsed nagu teisedki.

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:

⁴Aga Jumal, kes on rikas halastuselt, on meid koos Kristusega teinud elavaks oma suure armastuse pärast, millega ta meid on armastanud,

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

⁵kuigi me olime surnud üleastumistes - armu läbi te olete päästetud! -,

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

⁶ning on meid koos temaga üles äratanud ja asetanud taevasesse olukorda Kristuses Jeesuses,

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

⁷et näidata tulevastel aegadel oma armu võrratut rikkust helduses meie vastu Kristuses Jeesuses.

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

⁸Sest teie olete armu läbi päästetud usu kaudu - ja see ei ole teist enestest, vaid see on and Jumalalt -,

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

⁹mitte tegudest, et ükski ei saaks kiidelda.

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

¹⁰Sest meie oleme tema teos, Kristuses Jeesuses loodud heade tegude tegemiseks, nii nagu Jumal on juba enne meile seadnud, et me teeksime seda.

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.

¹¹Seepärast tuletage meelde, et teie, kes te varem olite loomu poolest paganad ja keda ümberlõikamatuteks nimetasid need, keda kutsuti ümberlõigatuteks ihu ümberlõikamise tõttu,

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

¹²- teie olite tol ajal ilma Kristuseta, kaugel eemal Iisraeli kodakondsuse õigusest ja võõrad tõotuselepingule, teil ei olnud lootust ega Jumalat siin maailmas.

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:

¹³Nüüd aga Kristuses Jeesuses olete teie, kes te varem olite Jumalast võõrdunud, saanud lähedaseks Kristuse vere läbi.

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

¹⁴Sest tema on meie rahu, kes on mõlemad liitnud üheks ja lõhkunud maha vaheseina - see tähendab vaenu - oma ihu kaudu,

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

¹⁵kui ta muutis kehtetuks käskude Seaduse, et luua eneses need kaks üheksainsaks uueks inimeseks, tehes rahu,

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;

¹⁶ning et lepitada Jumalaga mõlemad ühesainsas ihus risti kaudu, surmates risti peal vaenu.

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

¹⁷Ta on tulnud ja kuulutanud rõõmusõnumit rahust teile, kaugelolijaile, ja rahu lähedalolijaile,

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.

¹⁸sest tema läbi on meil mõlemal ühesainsas Vaimus ligipääs Isa juurde.

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

¹⁹Järelikult ei ole te nüüd enam võõrad ja majalised, vaid pühade kaaskodanikud ja Jumala kodakondsed,

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

²⁰ehitatud hooneks apostlite ja prohvetite alusele, mille nurgakiviks on Kristus Jeesus ise.

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

²¹Tema, kelles kogu hoone kokkuliidetuna kasvab pühaks templiks Issandas

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

²²ja kelles teidki üheskoos ehitatakse Jumala eluasemeks Vaimus.

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