Hello. Would the following be acceptable as translation?

Ya que su vida esta reflejada en cada uno de ellos.

In the sentence, "Since his life is reflected in each of them", the phrase "is reflected" acts as an adjective to describe his life. Here is the lesson that discusses this concept. 

Spanish past participles as adjectives

"Ya que su vida se refleja en cada uno de ellos." I would translate this as "Since his life reflects itself in each one of them"

Hola Jenk 

That is also an alternative correct translation. As Dennis said, it would more precisely be saying "reflects itself..." but the meaning is the same. That has just been added to the correct answers.

Hello, is there any advice you can give about when to omit articles especially after 'de'
