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:
ato bandirahaṁ prabho rnāmnā yuṣmān vinaye yūyaṁ yenāhvānenāhūtāstadupayuktarūpeṇa
2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
sarvvathā namratāṁ mṛdutāṁ titikṣāṁ parasparaṁ pramnā sahiṣṇutāñcācarata|
3 and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
praṇayabandhanena cātmana ekyaṁ rakṣituṁ yatadhvaṁ|
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
yūyam ekaśarīrā ekātmānaśca tadvad āhvānena yūyam ekapratyāśāprāptaye samāhūtāḥ|
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
yuṣmākam ekaḥ prabhureko viśvāsa ekaṁ majjanaṁ, sarvveṣāṁ tātaḥ
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
sarvvoparisthaḥ sarvvavyāpī sarvveṣāṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhyavarttī caika īśvara āste|
7 Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
kintu khrīṣṭasya dānaparimāṇānusārād asmākam ekaikasmai viśeṣo varo'dāyi|
8 This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
yathā likhitam āste, "ūrddhvam āruhya jetṛn sa vijitya bandino'karot| tataḥ sa manujebhyo'pi svīyān vyaśrāṇayad varān||"
9 What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
ūrddhvam āruhyetivākyasyāyamarthaḥ sa pūrvvaṁ pṛthivīrūpaṁ sarvvādhaḥsthitaṁ sthānam avatīrṇavān;
10 He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
yaścāvatīrṇavān sa eva svargāṇām uparyyuparyyārūḍhavān yataḥ sarvvāṇi tena pūrayitavyāni|
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,
sa eva ca kāṁścana preritān aparān bhaviṣyadvādino'parān susaṁvādapracārakān aparān pālakān upadeśakāṁśca niyuktavān|
12 to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
yāvad vayaṁ sarvve viśvāsasyeśvaraputraviṣayakasya tattvajñānasya caikyaṁ sampūrṇaṁ puruṣarthañcārthataḥ khrīṣṭasya sampūrṇaparimāṇasya samaṁ parimāṇaṁ na prāpnumastāvat
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.
sa paricaryyākarmmasādhanāya khrīṣṭasya śarīrasya niṣṭhāyai ca pavitralokānāṁ siddhatāyāstādṛśam upāyaṁ niścitavān|
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.
ataeva mānuṣāṇāṁ cāturīto bhramakadhūrttatāyāśchalācca jātena sarvveṇa śikṣāvāyunā vayaṁ yad bālakā iva dolāyamānā na bhrāmyāma ityasmābhi ryatitavyaṁ,
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
premnā satyatām ācaradbhiḥ sarvvaviṣaye khrīṣṭam uddiśya varddhitavyañca, yataḥ sa mūrddhā,
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.
tasmāccaikaikasyāṅgasya svasvaparimāṇānusāreṇa sāhāyyakaraṇād upakārakaiḥ sarvvaiḥ sandhibhiḥ kṛtsnasya śarīrasya saṁyoge sammilane ca jāte premnā niṣṭhāṁ labhamānaṁ kṛtsnaṁ śarīraṁ vṛddhiṁ prāpnoti|
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.
yuṣmān ahaṁ prabhunedaṁ bravīmyādiśāmi ca, anye bhinnajātīyā iva yūyaṁ pūna rmācarata|
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.
yataste svamanomāyām ācarantyāntarikājñānāt mānasikakāṭhinyācca timirāvṛtabuddhaya īśvarīyajīvanasya bagīrbhūtāśca bhavanti,
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.
svān caitanyaśūnyān kṛtvā ca lobhena sarvvavidhāśaucācaraṇāya lampaṭatāyāṁ svān samarpitavantaḥ|
20 But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
kintu yūyaṁ khrīṣṭaṁ na tādṛśaṁ paricitavantaḥ,
21 Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
yato yūyaṁ taṁ śrutavanto yā satyā śikṣā yīśuto labhyā tadanusārāt tadīyopadeśaṁ prāptavantaśceti manye|
22 to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
tasmāt pūrvvakālikācārakārī yaḥ purātanapuruṣo māyābhilāṣai rnaśyati taṁ tyaktvā yuṣmābhi rmānasikabhāvo nūtanīkarttavyaḥ,
23 to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
yo navapuruṣa īśvarānurūpeṇa puṇyena satyatāsahitena
24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
dhārmmikatvena ca sṛṣṭaḥ sa eva paridhātavyaśca|
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
ato yūyaṁ sarvve mithyākathanaṁ parityajya samīpavāsibhiḥ saha satyālāpaṁ kuruta yato vayaṁ parasparam aṅgapratyaṅgā bhavāmaḥ|
26 “Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
aparaṁ krodhe jāte pāpaṁ mā kurudhvam, aśānte yuṣmākaṁ roṣesūryyo'staṁ na gacchatu|
27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
aparaṁ śayatāne sthānaṁ mā datta|
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.
coraḥ punaścairyyaṁ na karotu kintu dīnāya dāne sāmarthyaṁ yajjāyate tadarthaṁ svakarābhyāṁ sadvṛttyā pariśramaṁ karotu|
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.
aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ vadanebhyaḥ ko'pi kadālāpo na nirgacchatu, kintu yena śroturupakāro jāyate tādṛśaḥ prayojanīyaniṣṭhāyai phaladāyaka ālāpo yuṣmākaṁ bhavatu|
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
aparañca yūyaṁ muktidinaparyyantam īśvarasya yena pavitreṇātmanā mudrayāṅkitā abhavata taṁ śokānvitaṁ mā kuruta|
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.
aparaṁ kaṭuvākyaṁ roṣaḥ koṣaḥ kalaho nindā sarvvavidhadveṣaścaitāni yuṣmākaṁ madhyād dūrībhavantu|
32 Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
yūyaṁ parasparaṁ hitaiṣiṇaḥ komalāntaḥkaraṇāśca bhavata| aparam īśvaraḥ khrīṣṭena yadvad yuṣmākaṁ doṣān kṣamitavān tadvad yūyamapi parasparaṁ kṣamadhvaṁ|
