¹You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

¹Aj vás, ktorí ste boli mŕtvi vo svojich previneniach a vo svojich hriechoch,

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;

²v ktorých ste kedysi chodili podľa veku tohoto sveta, podľa kniežaťa mocností povetria, ducha to, ktorý teraz pôsobí v synoch neposlušnosti,

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.

³medzi ktorými sme kedysi aj my všetci obcovali v žiadostiach svojho tela robiac to, čo sa zachcievalo telu a mysliam, a boli sme prírodou deťmi hnevu jako aj ostatní.

⁴But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

⁴Ale Bôh súc bohatý v milosrdenstve pre mnohú svoju lásku, ktorou nás zamiloval,

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

⁵aj keď sme boli mŕtvi v previneniach, spolu nás oživil s Kristom - milosťou ste spasení -

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

⁶a spolu vzkriesil a spolu posadil v ponebeských oblastiach v Kristu Ježišovi,

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

⁷aby v nasledujúcich vekoch ukázal nesmierne bohatstvo svojej milosti dobrotou na nás v Kristu Ježišovi.

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

⁸Lebo ste milosťou spasení skrze vieru, a to nie zo seba, je to dar Boží,

⁹not of works, that no one would boast.

⁹nie zo skutkov, aby sa niekto nechválil.

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

¹⁰Lebo sme jeho dielom, stvorení v Kristu Ježišovi nato, aby sme konali dobré skutky, ktoré Bôh vopred prihotovil, aby sme v nich chodili.

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);

¹¹Preto pamätajte, že kedysi vy, pohania v tele, ktorých tak zvaná obriezka na tele, učinená rukou, zovie neobriezkou,

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.

¹²že ste v tom čase boli bez Krista, odcudzení občianstvu Izraelovmu a cudzí smluvám zasľúbenia, nemajúci nádeje a bez Boha na svete.

¹³But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

¹³Ale teraz v Kristu Ježišu vy, ktorí ste boli kedysi ďalekí stali ste sa blízkymi v krvi Kristovej.

¹⁴For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,

¹⁴Lebo on je náš pokoj, ktorý učinil oboje jedno a zboril aj priehradný múr

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;

¹⁵zrušiac vo svojom tele nepriateľstvo, zákon prikázaní, záležajúci v rôznych nariadeniach, aby tých dvoje, Židov a pohanov, stvoril v sebe v jedného nového človeka činiac pokoj

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

¹⁶a aby smieril obojich v jednom tele Bohu skrze kríž zabijúc na ňom nepriateľstvo

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

¹⁷a prišiel a zvestoval pokoj vám ďalekým a pokoj blízkym,

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

¹⁸lebo skrze neho máme prístup oboji v jednom Duchu k Otcovi.

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

¹⁹Tak tedy už nie ste cudzincami a bezprávnymi pohostínmi, ale ste spoluobčania svätých a domáci Boží,

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

²⁰vybudovaní na základe apoštolov a prorokov, kde je uholným kameňom sám Ježiš Kristus,

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

²¹v ktorom každé stavänie prístojne dovedna pojené rastie v svätý chrám v Pánovi,

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

²²v ktorom sa aj vy spolu budujete v príbytok Boží v Duchu.
