Ephesians 2

Ary ianareo dia efa novelominy, fony mbola matin'ny fahadisoanareo sy ny fahotanareo,

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

izay nalehanareo fahiny, araka ny fomban'izao tontolo izao, araka ny mpanapaka ny fanjakana eny amin'ny rivotra, dia ny fanahy izay miasa ankehitriny ao anatin'ny zanaky ny tsi-fanarahana;

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

teo amin'ireo no nitondrantsika rehetra tena koa fahiny tamin'ny filan'ny nofontsika, ka nanaovantsika ny danin'ny nofo sy ny saina; ary araka ny toetsika dia zanaky ny fahatezerana toy ny sasany koa isika.

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Fa Andriamanitra, Izay manan-karena amin'ny famindram-po, noho ny halehiben'ny fitiavany izay nitiavany antsika,

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

na dia fony mbola matin'ny fahadisoana aza isika, dia nahavelona antsika niaraka tamin'i Kristy (fahasoavana no namonjena anareo);

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

ary niara-natsangany isika ka niara-napetrany any an-danitra ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy,

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

mba hasehony amin'ny andro ho avy ny haben'ny haren'ny fahasoavany amin'ny fahamoram-panahiny amintsika ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy.

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Fa fahasoavana no namonjena anareo amin'ny finoana; ary tsy avy aminareo izany, fa fanomezana avy amin'Andriamanitra;

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

tsy avy amin'ny asa, fandrao hisy hirehareha.

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Fa asany isika, voaforona tao amin'i Kristy Jesosy mba hanao asa tsara, izay namboarin'Andriamanitra rahateo mba handehanantsika eo aminy.

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

Koa tsarovy fa fahiny ianareo izay jentilisa araka ny nofo, ka nolazain'ny voaforan-tanana teo amin'ny nofo hoe tsy voafora -

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

eny, tsarovy fa tamin'izany andro izany dia tsy nanana an'i Kristy ianareo, fa olon-ko azy tamin'ny fanjakan'ny Isiraely ary vahiny tamin'ireo faneken'ny teny fikasana, dia tsy nanana fanantenana sady tsy nanana an'Andriamanitra teo amin'izao tontolo izao;

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

fa ankehitriny kosa, ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy, ianareo izay lavitra fahiny dia efa nampanakeken'ny ran'i Kristy.

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Fa Izy no fihavanantsika, Izay nahiray antsika roa tonta ka nandrava ny efitry ny fisarahana,

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

fa tao amin'ny nofony no nandravany ny fandrafiana, dia ny lalàna nisy didy natao hotandremana, mba hanakambanany antsika roa tonta ao amin'ny tenany ho olom-baovao iray, ka hanaovany fihavanana,

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

ary hampihavana antsika roa tonta ho tena iray amin'Andriamanitra noho ny hazo fijaliana, izay namonoany ny fandrafiana.

And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Ary tonga Izy ka nitory teny soa mahafaly milaza fihavanana taminareo izay lavitra ary fihavanana tamin'izay akaiky koa.

And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

Fa Izy no ananantsika roa tonta fanatonana amin'ny Fanahy iray ho any amin'ny Ray.

For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Koa dia tsy mba vahiny sy mpivahiny intsony ianareo, fa tompon-tany, mpiray fanjakana amin'ny olona masina sady ankohonan'Andriamanitra,

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

natsangana teo ambonin'ny fanorenan'ny Apostoly sy ny mpaminany, ary Kristy Jesosy no fehizoro indrindra;

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

ao aminy no irafetan'ny rafitra rehetra, mitombo tsara ho tempoly masina ao amin'ny Tompo.

In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

Ary ao aminy no miaraka aorina koa ianareo ho fonenan'Andriamanitra amin'ny Fanahy.

In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
