EFESOARREI 2

Kristok dohain hutsez salbatu

1 Zuei dagokizuenez, hilik zeundeten zeuen hutsegite eta bekatuetan,t 2 hori baitzen zuen jokabidea garai batean, mundu honen joerei jarraituz: munduan agintzen duten indarren buruzagiaren menpekot zineten, jende errebeldeagan ari den espirituaren menpeko.t 3 Gu guztiok ere hala bizi izan ginen lehen: geure giza grina txarrei jarraituz, geure grina eta burutapen gaiztoek agindutakoa betez; izatez, guk ere Jainkoaren zigorra merezi genuen, beste guztiek bezala.t 4 Baina Jainkoak, hain baita errukitsua eta halako maitasun neurrigabez maitatu baikaitu, 5 geure bekatuengatik hilik geundelarik, bizia eman zigun Kristorekin batera —onginahi hutsez salbatu zaituzte!—;t 6 eta Kristo Jesusekin batera eta berarengan piztu gintuen eta zeruetan eserarazi.t 7 Horrela, Kristo Jesusengan gurekiko hain ona izanez agertu nahi izan die datozen gizaldiei zein ugaria eta eskuzabala den bere onginahia. 8 Dohain hutsez zarete salbatuak sinesmenaren bidez; eta hau ez dator zuengandik, baizik eta Jainkoaren emaitza da; 9 ez dator egintzetatik, inor harro ez dadin.t

10 Izan ere, Jainkoak eginak gara; Kristo Jesusengan sortu gaitu, on egiten saia gaitezen, Jainkoak guretzat aurrez erabakia zuen bezala.t

Kristo bakegile eta batasungile

13 Orain, berriz, Kristo Jesusenak eginik, garai batean urruti zinetenok, hurbildu egin zarete Kristoren heriotzari esker.t
14 Izan ere, Kristo da gure bakea. Bat egin ditu berak bi herriak, bereizten zituen etsaigoaren hesia deseginez. Bere gorputzeant 15 baliogabetu egin du legea bere agindu eta arauekin, eta bi herriekin gizadi berri bakarra sortu du bere baitan, bakeak eginez.t 16 Bi herriak Jainkoarekin adiskidetu ditu eta gurutzeko heriotzaren bidez gorputz bakar batean elkartu, beraien arteko etsaigoa suntsituz.t 17 Bere etorrerarekin bakearen berri ona hots egin zigun: bakea zuei, urruti zinetenoi, eta bakea hurbil zireneit.t

18 Zeren bai batzuk eta bai besteok hurbil baikaitezke Aitarengana Espiritu berarengan elkarturik.t
19 Ez zarete, beraz, ez arrotz, ez atzerritar, Jainkoaren herriko kidet baizik eta Jainkoaren familiako,t 20 apostolu eta profeten oinarri gainean eraikiak, Kristo Jesus bera giltzarri delarik.t 21 Kristo Jaunarengan ongi finkaturik, eraikin osoa haziz doa, Jainkoari sagaraturiko tenplu bihurtzeraino.t 22 Kristoren bitartez, eraikinaren parte zarete zuek ere besteekin batera, Espirituak eraginda Jainkoaren bizileku bihurtzeraino.t

Ephesians 2

New Life Individually

1 And although you weret deads in your transgressions and sins,2 in whichs you formerly livedts according to this world’s present path,ts according to the ruler of the kingdomt of the air, the ruler oft the spirits that is now energizingt the sons of disobedience,s

3 among whoms all of ust alsot formerly lived out our lives in the cravings of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wraths even as the rest…s
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,5 even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you are saved!t –6 and he raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,7 to demonstrate in the coming agest the surpassing wealth of his grace in kindness towardt us in Christ Jesus.8 For by grace you are savedt through faith,s and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;9 it is not fromt works, so that no one can boast.t

10 For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them.ts

New Life Corporately

11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh – who are called “uncircumcision” by the so-called “circumcision” that is performed on the bodyt by human hands –12 that you were at that time without the Messiah,t alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise,t having no hope and without God in the world.13 But now in Christ Jesus you who used to be far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.ts14 For he is our peace, the one who made both groups into onet and who destroyed the middle wall of partition, the hostility,15 when he nullifiedt in his flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in himself one new mant out of two,t thus making peace,16 and to reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by which the hostility has been killed.t17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near,18 so thatt through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.19 So then you are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,20 because you have been builtt on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,s with Christ Jesus himself ast the cornerstone.t21 In himt the whole building,st being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
