Delivered (or removed) from one dominion and translated (or transfered, delivered) into another dominion
The word "translated" means to transpose, transfer, remove from one place to another; of change of situation or place. The word "translated" also suggests drawing to one’s self, to rescue, to deliver. This drawing is not an alluring, but means to cause to move in a particular direction by, or as if by, a pulling force.
Think about it, if you are going to rescue someone from a falling object, are you going to allure them from the danger, or are you going to grab them and pull them away with all your might? Likewise, at regeneration, God reaches down into the depths of darkness and lifts the person up and places him into the kingdom of Christ.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
According to this passage, at regeneration we are rescued from the dominion of darkness, being removed from its power and dominion, and transfered into the dominion and power of Christ.
