Ephesians 4
1 As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:
N tundi yi mini yua n tie ki kadibiga o Diodo nni, ke yin ya cuoni ki tiegi U TIENU n yini yi ya yiinu nni.
2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
yin ya ye leni yi yaba leni li yumiinli, mi dingima leni li juunli ki ya todi yi yaba leni mi buamoanma.
3 and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Yin paagi yiba ki kubi mi fuoma taanyenma yaama n tuugi leni mi yanduanma.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
Gbananyendi bebe n ye, mi fuoma moko tie bonyenma, yeni moko suginyenma n ye U TIENU n den yini yaama ya po.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
o Diodo yendo bebe n ye, li dandanli tie bonyenli, mi batisima mo tie bonyenma;
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
TIENYENDUbebe n ye yua n tie BAA tikuli po, ki die li bonla kuli ki ye tikuli siiga, ki go ye tikuli ni nni.
7 Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ama ti siiga yuakuli den baa li ŋanbili paabu nani kilisiti n puni yuakuli maama.
8 This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
Li tie lani yapo ke li yedi: wan den doni tanpoli, o den taa a kadibila, ki go puni bi nisaaliba bu paabu.
9 What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
Lanwani be n tie: o doni ŋali tanpoli? li bua ki yedi ke o den kpa jiidi hali ki tinga tiipo.
10 He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
Wan yua n den jiidi yeni tie yua n den doni ki pemdi ŋali tanpoli, ki ba gbieni li bonla kuli.
11 And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
O puni bi tianba ke ban ya tie tondiba, bi tianba nani sawalipuaba, bi tianba nani o labaaliŋamo wangikaaba, bi tianba bi yankpaaba leni bi bangikaaba.
12 to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
O den tieni yeni ki bua ki ya ŋanbidi o nigagidikaaba po cain, ki boginiba ban ya tuuni ki teni wani kilisiti gbanandi n ya kpedi ki pugidi,
13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.
ŋali tikuli n baa ya taanyenma n ye li dandanli nni, leni U TIENU bijua ya bandima, ki tie yaaba n kpedi ki dagidi cain nani kilisiti n dagidi cain maama.
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.
Lanwani ke tin da tie nani a biwaala yeni ki lengidi kelima bi niba nunfanbiadibu leni bi boandi n kpendi nni ya bangima po,
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
ama ti ya maadi i moamoani leni mi buama ti baa yabidi ki pugidi li bonla kuli nni, kilisiti nni wani yua n tie li yuli.
16 From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.
Li tie o ya todima po yo, ke ti gbanandi taa ki tuugi yenma, kelima ti tuga kuli kubi ti ke li pa boŋanla. yeni yaapo ti kpedi kelima gbananbuolu kuli yuuni u tuonli nani lan punidi maama, ki ŋanbidi tiba mi buama nni.
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
Lanwani min yedi yi yaala leni min kadi ki waani yi yaala o diodo nni tie: ke yin da go cuoni nani bi nilanba n cuoni ya sani nni, bani yaaba n ŋua bi yantiana yaa n tie fanma fanma yeni.
18 They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.
Bi pia ya yama n biigi, ki tie canba U TIENU miali po kelima ya yanpiima n ye bi ni nni leni bi pajuaga po.
19 Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more.
Ba go bani i fe n tie yaala ki puuni bi yula mi conconma po ki baa tiendi ti joagindi buoli kuli ke li tuugi leni mi ligibuabiadima.
20 But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
Ama yinba wani, yii den bandi kilisiti yeni ka;
21 Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
yi den gbadi o maama, bi den bangi yinba yaaba n daani ya moamoani n ye JESU nni,
22 to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
lani n tie ke yin da go tie nani yin den kpa tie maama, ama yuakuli n landi o tagikpelu nani li liadili yeni, o yanbuabiadima n den biidi yu.
23 to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
Yin baa mani li yantiapanli mi fuoma nni;
24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
yin la mani u tagipaanu yu n tagi nani U TIENU n bua maama, ki ŋua i moamoani n kpendi nni ya teginma leni ya gagidiŋanbima.
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
Lani yapo, yin cedi mani mi faama, ke yi siiga yuakuli n ya maadi o nisaalilielo i moamoani, kelima tikuli tie gbananyendi yaaba.
26 “Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
Yi pala ya fii, yin da tieni ti tuonbiadi; ki da tuo ki yenga nkua ke yi pala ki jiidi.
27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
Yin da pa sutaani u kaanu yi pala nni.
28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.
Yua n den su n da go go su; ama wan ya tuuni li tuonli ke li ŋani ke wan fidi ki pa a luada ban bua yaala.
29 Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.
Mabiadima ba kuli n da ǹa yi noana nni, ama li ya ba tuo, yin ya maadi ya maama n ŋani ki ba cuani mi findima leni li seli yaaba n gbadima kuli po.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Yin da biidi U TIENU fuoma yua pali nni wan yua n tie yi po mi maalima ki doagidi ke yi dafaabima nagini.
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.
Yin cedi mani li mutuoli, ki nanga, li pabienli, ku fuugu, ku tuotabigu, leni mi biabidima buolu kuli n ǹa yi siiga.
32 Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
Yin ya mani leni yi yaba ki gba yi yaba po mi niǹima, ki puuni yi yaba sugili, nani U TIENU n den tieni yi po sugili kelima kilisiti nni po maama.
