¹ Te yéen itam Yàlla dekkal na leen, yéen ñi doon ndee fa kanamam ci seeni moy ak seeni bàkkaar.

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

² Ci biir yooyu ngeen doon dund démb, topp doxalinu àddina, tey déggal kilifag boroom sañ-sañ yi ci jaww ji, di xel mu bon miy jëf ci kureelu ñi déggadil Yàlla.

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;

³ Te nun it booba àndoon nanu ak ñoom ca seen dund ga, di topp sunu bakkan ciy wut bànneexi yaram ak coobarey xel. Noonu ci sunu bindu nit yeyoo nanu meru Yàlla, ni ña ca des.

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.

⁴ Waaye Yàlla mi bare yërmande, ci kaw mbëggeel gu réy, gi mu am ci nun,

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

⁵ dundalaat na nu ak Kirist, fekk ndee lanu woon fa kanamam ci sunuy bàkkaar — ci kaw yiwu Yàlla ngeen mucce.

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

⁶ Te dekkal na nu ak Kirist Yeesu, dëël nu ak moom ca bérab yu kawe ya.

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

⁷ Noonu ba fu jamono yem, dina lañal fi sunu kanam yiwam wu réy wi xel mënta takk, jaar ci baaxaay gi mu nu won ci Kirist Yeesu.

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

⁸ Ndaxte ci yiwu Yàlla ngeen mucce ci kaw ngëm, te loolu jógewul ci yéen, mayu Yàlla la;

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

⁹ du peyu jëf, ngir kenn du ci kañu.

⁹not of works, that no one would boast.

¹⁰ Ndaxte jëfu Yàlla lanu; moo nu bind ci Kirist Yeesu, ngir nu wéy ci jëf yu rafet, yi mu nu fàgguloon ca njàlbéen ga.

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

¹¹ Kon nag yéen ñi dul Yawut cib juddu, yéen ñi xaraful, te ñi xaraf ci seen yaram ci loxol nit ñoo leen teg ay yéefar, fàttalikuleen lii:

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 booba amuleen woon benn cér ci Kirist, mbaa benn baat ci kureelu bànni Israyil. Bokkuleen woon ci kóllëre, gi Yàlla fas ak ñoom, te ëmb dige ya. Amuleen woon jenn yaakaar mbaa benn xam-xamu Yàlla ci àddina.

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.

¹³ Waaye léegi ci seen bokk ci Kirist Yeesu, yéen ñi sore woon jege ngeen ndax deretu Kirist ji ñu tuur.

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

¹⁴ Ndaxte mooy sunu jàmm, moom mi jël Yawut ak ki dul Yawut, def nu benn. Ñag bi doxoon sunu diggante te sosoon sunu dëngoo, moo ko màbb ci li mu joxe yaramam,

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

¹⁵ far noonu yoonu Musaa, muy ndigal ya ak dogal ya. Noonu la nu jële, Yawut ak ki dul Yawut, def nu benn ci moom, ba nu jàmmoo.

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;

¹⁶ Te nun ñaar, ñi def benn jëmm, jubale na nu ak Yàlla ci dee, gi mu dee ca bant ba ñu ko daajoon, dindee noonu sunu tongoonte.

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

¹⁷ Bi mu ko defee mu ñëw, yégalsi nu xebaaru jàmm fa kanam Yàlla, yéen ñi sore woon ak nun ñi jege.

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

¹⁸ Ndaxte nun ñaar ñépp am nanu bunt ci Yàlla Baay bi, jaar ci Kirist, ci ndimbalu menn Xel mu Sell mi.

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

¹⁹ Noonu dootuleen ay doxandéem mbaa ay gan, waaye am ngeen baat ci kureelu gaayi Yàlla yu sell yi, te waa këram ngeen.

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

²⁰ Yéena ngi sukkandikoo ci fondamaa, bi ndawi Kirist yi ak yonent yi tabax, te Kirist Yeesu ci boppam di doju dalil wa.

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

²¹ Ci moom la doj yépp ràbbloo, ba tabax bi jóg, di màggalukaay bu sell ngir Boroom bi.

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

²² Te ci seen bokk ci Kirist, Yàlla boole na leen tabax yéen itam, ba ngeen nekk dëkkukaayam, jaar ci Xel mu Sell mi.

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