1 M e koutou ano nana i whakaora, i te mea he tupapaku i nga he, i nga hara,

Also you -- being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

2 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.

in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience,

3 A ra 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.

among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others,

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

and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 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;

even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)

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

and did raise up together, and did seat together in the heavenly in Christ Jesus,

7 K ia 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.

that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

8 N a 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:

for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift,

9 E hara i nga mahi, kei whakamanamana te tangata.

not of works, that no one may boast;

10 H e 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.

for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

11 N a, 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;

Wherefore, remember, that ye once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

12 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.

that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world;

13 N a, 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.

and now, in Christ Jesus, ye being once afar off became nigh in the blood of the Christ,

14 K o 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;

for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,

15 W hakakahoretia 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;

the enmity in his flesh, the law of the commands in ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in himself into one new man, making peace,

16 K ia 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;

and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity in it,

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

and having come, he did proclaim good news -- peace to you -- the far-off and the nigh,

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

because through him we have the access -- we both -- in one Spirit unto the Father.

19 N a 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;

Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,

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

being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-,

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

in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord,

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

in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
