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

¹You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions 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 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;

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 lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children 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, for his great love with which he loved us,

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

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

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

⁶and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

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

⁷that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;

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

⁸for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

⁹mitte tegudest, et ükski ei saaks kiidelda.

⁹not of works, that no one would 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, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would 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,

¹¹Therefore 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- teie olite tol ajal ilma Kristuseta, kaugel eemal Iisraeli kodakondsuse õigusest ja võõrad tõotuselepingule, teil ei olnud lootust ega Jumalat siin maailmas.

¹²that 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.

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

¹³But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of 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 made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,

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

¹⁵having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

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

¹⁶and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²¹Tema, kelles kogu hoone kokkuliidetuna kasvab pühaks templiks Issandas

²¹in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

²²ja kelles teidki üheskoos ehitatakse Jumala eluasemeks Vaimus.

²²in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
