2:1
ወአንትሙሂእንዘምዉታንአንትሙበኀጢአትክሙ።
You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.
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.
我們從前也都在他們中間，放縱肉體的私慾，隨着肉體和心中所喜好的去行，本為可怒之子，和別人一樣。
2:4
ወእግዚአብሔርሰበብዕለስብሐቲሁወበብዝኀፍቅሩዘአፍቀረነ።
But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
然而，上帝既有豐富的憐憫，因他愛我們的大愛，
2:5
እንዘሙታንንሕነበኀጢአትነአሕየወነበክርስቶስወድኅነበጸጋሁ።
even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
當我們死在過犯中的時候，便叫我們與基督一同活過來。你們得救是本乎恩。
2:6
ወአንሥአነወአንበረነምስሌሁበሰማያትበኢየሱስክርስቶስ።
and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
他又叫我們與基督耶穌一同復活，一同坐在天上，
2:7
ከመያርኢበዓለምዘይመጽእብዝኀጸጋሁወምሕረቱዘአፈድፈደበኢየሱስክርስቶስ።
that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
要將他極豐富的恩典，就是他在基督耶穌裏向我們所施的恩慈，顯明給後來的世代看。
2:8
እስመበጸጋሁድኅነወበአሚንወዳእሙጸጋሁለእግዚአብሔርውእቱወኢኮነዚኣክሙ።
for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
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),
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.
那時，你們與基督無關，在以色列國民以外，在所應許的諸約上是局外人，並且活在世上沒有指望，沒有上帝。
2:13
ወይእዜሰባሕቱአንትሙእለትካትርኁቃንቀረብክሙበደሙለክርስቶስ።
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
你們從前遠離上帝的人，如今卻在基督耶穌裏，靠着他的血，已經得親近了。
2:14
እስመውእቱሰላምነዘረሰዮሙአሐደለክልኤሆሙወነሠተአረፍተማእከልበሥጋሁ።
For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
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,
