1 A nd you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,

Me koutou ano nana i whakaora, i te mea he tupapaku i nga he, i nga hara,

2 w herein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;

I haereerea ra e koutou i mua i runga i ta tenei ao tikanga, i ta te rangatira o te kaha o nga kapua, o te wairua e mahi nei inaianei i roto i nga tama a te tutu.

3 a mong 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:--

Ara i era hoa o tatou katoa i mua, i a tatou e noho ana i runga i nga hiahia o to tatou kikokiko, e mahi ana i nga mea e paingia ana e te kikokiko, e te whakaaro, i te maoritanga hoki he tamariki na te riri, he pera me era atu.

4 b ut God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Ko ta te Atua ia tenei, ranea rawa hoki tana mahi tohu, nui atu tona aroha i arohaina mai ai tatou e ia,

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

I te mea he tupapaku tatou i nga he, whakaorangia ngatahitia ana tatou e ia me te Karaiti, he aroha noa i whakaorangia ai koutou;

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

A whakaarahia ngatahitia ana e ia, whakanohoia ngatahitia ana ki nga wahi o te rangi i roto i a Karaiti Ihu:

7 t hat in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:

Kia whakakite ai e ia i nga wa e haere ake nei te hira o te taonga o tona aroha noa, i a ia ka manaaki i a tatou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

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

Na te aroha noa hoki koutou i whakaorangia ai i runga i te whakapono; ehara ano hoki tenei i te mea no koutou: he mea homai noa na te Atua:

9 n ot of works, that no man should glory.

Ehara i nga mahi, kei whakamanamana te tangata.

10 F or we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.

He mahinga hoki tatou nana, he mea hanga i roto i a Karaiti Ihu mo nga mahi pai i whakaritea e te Atua i mua hei haereerenga mo tatou.

11 W herefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

Na, kia mahara he tauiwi koutou i mua no te wahi ki te kikokiko, e kiia ana hoki ko te Kotingakore e tenei e kiia nei ko te Kotinga, ara to te kikokiko, he mea na te ringa;

12 t hat ye 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.

I taua wa he mea motu ke atu koutou i a te Karaiti, ehara i te tangata whenua no Iharaira, he tangata ke ki nga kawenata o te mea i whakaaria mai i mua, kahore he tumanakotanga atu, he hunga Atuakore i te ao.

13 B ut now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.

Na, inaianei i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ko koutou, ko te hunga i tawhiti i mua, kua meinga e nga toto o te Karaiti kia tata.

14 F or he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,

Ko ia hoki to tatou maunga rongo, nana i mea nga mea e rua kia kotahi, whakahoroa iho e ia te patu e arai ana i waenga;

15 h aving abolished in the flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, so making peace;

Whakakahoretia ana hoki e ia ki tona kikokiko te mauahara, ara te ture i nga kupu ako, i nga tikanga; kia hanga ai i roto i a ia te tokorua hei tangata kotahi, hei tangata hou, kia mau ai te rongo i a ia;

16 a nd might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Kia houhia ai ano hoki e ia te rongo a te tokorua ki te Atua i roto i te tinana kotahi, he meatanga na te ripeka, ma reira hoki e whakamate te mauahara;

17 a nd he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:

A haere mai ana ia, kauwhau ana i te maunga rongo ki a koutou i tawhiti, ki te hunga hoki e tata ana.

18 f or through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.

Nana hoki tatou, te tokorua nei, i whai tatanga atu ai i roto i te Wairua kotahi ki te Matua.

19 S o then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

Na reira ehara koutou i te tangata ke, i te manene ranei; engari he tangata whenua koutou tahi ko te hunga tapu, no te whare hoki o te Atua;

20 b eing built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;

He mea hanga ki runga ki te turanga o nga apotoro ratou ko nga poropiti, ko Ihu Karaiti ano hei tino kamaka mo te kokonga;

21 i n whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;

Kei roto nei i a ia tena whare, tena whare, he mea ata tatai marie, ka tupu hei whare tapu i roto i te Ariki;

22 i n whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

Me koutou ano e hanga tahitia ana i roto i a ia, hei nohoanga mo te Atua, he mea na te Wairua.
