Pāvila Vēstule Efeziešiem 2

1 Un arī jūs, kas bijāt nomiruši iekš pārkāpšanām un grēkiem,

Even you, being dead to offenses and sins,

2 Iekš kuriem jūs citkārt staigājuši pēc šās pasaules ieraduma un pēc tā virsnieka, kas valda gaisā, gara, kas tagad spēcīgi darbojās iekš neticības bērniem; (aiōn g165)

in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is actively at work in the sons of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

3 Starp tiem arī mēs visi citkārt dzīvojām savas miesas kārībās, darīdami miesas un sirds prātu, un no dabas bijām dusmības bērni, tā kā arī tie citi;

among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the feelings, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others:

4 Bet Dievs, bagāts būdams apžēlošanā, mūs ir mīlējis Savas lielās mīlestības pēc,

but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,

5 Un mūs, kas bijām nomiruši grēkos, ar Kristu ir darījis dzīvus (caur žēlastību jūs esat izglābti),

made alive with Christ even us, being dead to our offenses, (by grace you are saved, )

6 Un līdz uzmodinājis un līdz sēdinājis debesīs iekš Kristus Jēzus,

and raised us up, and made us sit together in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus;

7 Ka Tas nākamos laikos parādītu Savas žēlastības pārliekam lielo bagātību caur to laipnību pār mums iekš Kristus Jēzus. (aiōn g165)

that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his grace by his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 Jo no žēlastības jūs esat pestīti caur ticību, un tas ne no jums: tā ir Dieva dāvana;

For by grace you have been saved through the faith; and this matter is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

9 Ne no darbiem, lai neviens nelielās.

not by works, lest any one should boast.

10 Jo mēs esam Viņa darbs, radīti iekš Kristus Jēzus uz labiem darbiem, uz kuriem Dievs mūs papriekš ir sataisījis, ka mums iekš tiem būs staigāt.

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

11 Tāpēc pieminiet, ka jūs, kas citkārt bijāt pagāni pēc miesas un tapāt par priekšādu saukti no tiem, kas top saukti tā apgraizīšana, kas pie miesas ar rokām darīta,

For which reason, remember that you were formerly Gen tiles, by natural descent, and that you are called Uncircumcision by the Circumcision; so called, from a mark made in the flesh by hands;

12 Ka jūs tanī laikā bijāt bez Kristus, šķirti no Israēla draudzes un svešinieki tām apsolīšanas derībām, bez cerības un bez Dieva pasaulē.

that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the community of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and having no God in the world:

13 Bet tagad iekš Kristus Jēzus jūs, kas citkārt bijuši tālu, esat tuvu nākuši caur Kristus asinīm.

but now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were formerly far off, have become near, by the blood of the Christ.

14 Jo Viņš ir mūsu miers, kas no abiem ir darījis vienu un to sienu, kas bija starpā, ir noārdījis,

For he is our peace, who has made both parties one, and broken down the partition wall that separated us,

15 To ienaidību noceldams caur Savu miesu, to baušļu bauslību, kas stāv likumos, ka Viņš tos divus iekš Sevis paša radītu par vienu jaunu cilvēku, mieru darīdams,

having abolished, in his flesh, the cause of enmity, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might, by himself, form the two into one new man, thus making peace;

16 Un ka Viņš abus vienā miesā Dievam salīdzinātu caur to krustu, to ienaidību pie tā nokāvis.

and that he might reconcile both, in one body, to God, through the cross, having by it put to death the cause of enmity;

17 Un nākdams Viņš mieru pasludinājis caur evaņģēliju jums, kas bijāt tālu, un tiem, kas ir tuvu.

and having come, he preached peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near:

18 Jo caur Viņu mums abiem ir pieiešana iekš viena Gara pie Tā Tēva.

for, through him, we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

19 Tad nu jūs vairs neesat svešinieki un piedzīvotāji, bet līdzpavalstnieki ar tiem svētiem un Dieva saime,

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

20 Uztaisīti uz apustuļu un praviešu pamata, kur Pats Jēzus Kristus ir tas stūra akmens,

having been builded upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone,

21 Uz kā viss tas nams taisīts aug par svētu Dieva namu iekš Tā Kunga;

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

22 Uz kā arī jūs topat līdz uztaisīti par Dieva mājas vietu iekš Gara.

in whom you also are builded together, for a dwelling-place of God by his Spirit.
