Darby's Translation

Ephesians

2

1Zik-nni, tellam am wid yemmuten ɣef ddemma n tuccḍa-nwen akk-d ddnubat-nwen ;
1and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins --
2tețɛicim di ddnub, tewwi-kkun ddunit, tḍefṛem Cciṭan, sselṭan n ddunit-agi i gțekellixen ar tura wid ur nḍuɛ ara Sidi Ṛebbi.
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:
3Nukni daɣen, zik-nni am nutni i nella ; nettabaɛ ixemmimen-nneɣ, ccehwat-nneɣ, nxeddem lebɣi n tnefsit-nneɣ, nella nuklal urrif n Sidi Ṛebbi am wiyaḍ.
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:
4Lameɛna imi i geččuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi d ṛṛeḥma, yerna leḥmala-ines ɣuṛ-nneɣ ț-țameqqrant,
4but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,
5yerra-yaɣ-d ɣer tudert akk-d Lmasiḥ, nukni yellan am wid yemmuten ɣef sebba n ddnubat-nneɣ. S ṛṛeḥma n Sidi Ṛebbi i tețwasellkem.
5(we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)
6S tdukli-nneɣ akk-d Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, Sidi Ṛebbi isseḥya-ɣ-ed akk-d Lmasiḥ yerna yesɣim-aɣ yid-es deg igenwan,
6and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
7iwakken di leqṛun i d-iteddun, a d-tban acḥal meqqṛit ṛṛeḥma-ines akk-d leḥnana-s i ɣ-d-isbeggen s Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.
7that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.
8S ṛṛeḥma n Sidi Ṛebbi kan i tețwasellkem, mi tumnem. Ayagi mačči d ayen i d-ikan s ɣuṛ-wen lameɛna ț-țukci n Sidi Ṛebbi.
8For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:
9Mačči s lḥasanat-nwen i tețwasellkem akken yiwen ur ițzuxxu s yiman is ;
9not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.
10axaṭer ayen i nella tura s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi i ɣ-d-yekka, ixleq-aɣ-ed di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ iwakken a nexdem di tudert-nneɣ lecɣal yelhan i-ɣ-d ihegga si tazwara.
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.
11Kunwi ur nelli ara seg wegdud n wat Isṛail, iwumi qqaṛen wat Isṛail : « A wid ur neḍhiṛ » axaṭer nutni ḥesben iman-nsen ḍehṛen ɣef ddemma n ṭṭhaṛa-nni i sɛan di lɛadda-nsen,
11Wherefore remember that *ye*, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;
12mmektit-ed amek i tellam zik : di lweqt-nni tellam tbeɛdem ɣef Lmasiḥ, d ibeṛṛaniyen ur nelli ara seg ugdud i gextaṛ Sidi Ṛebbi, ur tețțekkam di lemɛahdat i sen-iwɛed, ur tesɛim asirem, ur tessinem Sidi Ṛebbi.
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:
13Meɛna imi tumnem s Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, kunwi yellan zik tbeɛdem fell-as, tura tqeṛṛbem-d ɣuṛ-es s idammen-is yuzzlen ɣef ddemma-nwen.
13but now in Christ Jesus *ye* who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.
14Axaṭer d Lmasiḥ s yiman-is i d lehna-nneɣ, imi i gesdukkel at Isṛail d leǧnas nniḍen yerra-ten d yiwen n wegdud. Mi gefka iman-is d asfel, ihudd lḥiḍ-nni i ten-ifeṛqen, i ten-yerran d iɛdawen ;
14For *he* is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,
15yesseɣli tazmert n ccariɛa yerna lewṣayat akk-d leqwanen-ines, iwakken a d-issufeɣ si snat ccetlat-agi, yiwen kan n wegdud ajdid ara yamnen yis ; s wakka i d-issers lehna.
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;
16S lmut-is ɣef wumidag i ten-issemṣaleḥ d Sidi Ṛebbi, ikkes tiɛdawit yellan gar-asen, isdukkel sin leǧnas-agi yerra-ten d yiwen wegdud.
16and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;
17Yusa-d a wen-ibecceṛ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ , yewwi-awen-d lehna ama i kunwi yellan tbeɛdem ɣef Ṛebbi, ama i wat Isṛail iqeṛben ɣuṛ-es ;
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.
18axaṭer yis i nezmer am kunwi am nukni, a nqeṛṛeb meṛṛa ɣer Baba Ṛebbi, s yiwen n Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.
18For through him we have both access by one Spirit to the Father.
19Ihi tura, kunwi ur nelli ara seg wat Isṛail, ur tellim ara d ibeṛṛaniyen neɣ d imsebriden, meɛna tețțekkam di tejmaɛt n wegdud n Sidi Ṛebbi, tuɣalem d iɛeyyalen n twacult-is.
19So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,
20Tuɣalem d axxam yebnan ɣef lsas i ssersen ṛṛusul akk-d lenbiya, Ɛisa Lmasiḥ s yiman-is i d azṛu alemmas yeṭṭfen lebni.
20being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,
21D nețța i gessalayen lebni, yesseǧhad-it iwakken ad yuɣal d lǧameɛ iqedsen n Sidi Ṛebbi.
21in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;
22S tdukli-nwen akk-d Lmasiḥ, ula d kunwi tețțekkam di lebni-agi, iwakken aț-țilim d axxam anda yezdeɣ Sidi Ṛebbi s Ṛṛuḥ-is.
22in whom *ye* also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.
