Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Mo de, na moawuwu wɔ mo amumɔyɛ ne mo bɔne a
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this age (aiōn g165), according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.
na anka mote mu, bere a na mudi wiase ne wim sodifo ahenni akyi no ne honhom a mprempren ɛreyɛ adwuma wɔ wɔn a wɔyɛ asoɔden mu no mu. (aiōn g165)
3 We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
Bere bi, yɛn nyinaa ne wɔn tena dii ɔhonam akɔnnɔ akyi yɛɛ ɔhonam apɛde ne ne nsusuwii. Yɛn nso, na ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn abufuw ba yɛn so.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Nanso esiane nʼadɔeyɛ a ɛdɔɔso ma yɛn nti, Onyankopɔn a nʼahummɔbɔ dɔɔso no
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
maa yɛn nkwa wɔ Kristo mu, wɔ bere a anka yɛawuwu wɔ amumɔyɛ mu mpo; adom nti na wɔagye mo nkwa.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Onyankopɔn nyan yɛn ne Kristo, na ɔde yɛn ne Kristo atena ɔsoro ahemman mu
7 that in the ages (aiōn g165) to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nna a ɛreba no mu no, ɔbɛda nʼadom ahonya a ɛso nni no adi; nʼadɔe a ɔnam Kristo Yesu so yɛɛ yɛn no. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Ɛyɛ adom no nti na wɔnam gyidi so agye mo nkwa. Emfi mo ankasa, ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn akyɛde.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Emfi nnwuma mu, na obi de ahoahoa ne ho.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Onyankopɔn na wayɛ yɛn sɛnea yɛte yi. Ɔnam Kristo so bɔɔ yɛn sɛ yɛmmɛyɛ nnwuma pa a wasiesie ato hɔ no.
11 Therefore 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),
Afei monkae sɛ mo a na anka kan no wɔwoo mo sɛ amanamanmufo, na wɔn a wɔfrɛ wɔn ho twetiatwafo no (nea wɔde nsa ayɛ wɔ honam mu) frɛ mo momonotofo,
12 that 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.
monkae sɛ saa bere no na moatew mo ho afi Kristo ho, na wɔnkan mo mfra Israelfo, na moyɛ ahɔho a monka bɔhyɛ apam no ho, na munni anidaso na munni Onyankopɔn nso wɔ wiase.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Nanso afei mo a na anka mowɔ akyirikyiri no, wɔnam Kristo mogya no so atwe mo abɛn Onyankopɔn.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Efisɛ Kristo no ankasa nam baako a wama Yudafo ne amanamanmufo ayɛ no so de asomdwoe aba. Ɔnam ɔno ankasa ne honam so bubuu fasu a na etwa wɔn ntam ma wɔyɛ atamfo no.
15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,
Ɔnam ne nipadua so asɛe Mose mmara ne nʼahyɛde tumi no. Ne botae ne sɛ ɔbɛma Yudafo ne amanamanmufo ayɛ baako na ɔde asomdwoe aba;
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
ɔnam asennua a ɔde sɛee nitan a ɛwɔ wɔn ntam no so aka wɔn abɔ mu ayɛ wɔn nipadua baako na wapata wɔne Onyankopɔn ntam.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Enti Kristo ba bɛkaa Asɛmpa a ɛyɛ asomdwoesɛm no kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri ne wɔn a wɔbɛn nyinaa.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Ɔno nti yɛwɔ Honhom baako a yɛnam no so kɔ Agya no nkyɛn.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Enti mprempren, monnyɛ ahɔho ne amamfrafo bio, na mmom mo ne Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo no yɛ nnipa koro na mofra Onyankopɔn abusua no mu,
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
na wɔato mo asi asomafo no ne adiyifo no fapem a Kristo Yesu no ankasa yɛ ne tweatibo no so.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Ɔno na ɔma ɔdan mu no nyinaa yɛ baako na ɛbɛyɛ asɔredan kronkron wɔ Awurade mu.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Ne mu na wɔresiesie mo na moabɔ mu abɛyɛ ofi a Onyankopɔn nam ne Honhom so tena mu.
