Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called,
Nítorí náà, èmi òǹdè nínú Olúwa ń bẹ̀ yín pé kí ẹ̀yin máa gbé ìgbé ayé tí ó yẹ sí ìpè tí a pè yín sí.
2 With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
Pẹ̀lú ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ gbogbo àti inú tútù, pẹ̀lú ìpamọ́ra, ẹ máa fi ìfẹ́ faradà fún ẹnìkejì yín.
3 Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Kí ẹ sì máa làkàkà láti pa ìṣọ̀kan Ẹ̀mí mọ́ ni ìdàpọ̀ àlàáfíà.
4 One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling.
Ara kan ni ń bẹ, àti Ẹ̀mí kan, àní bí a ti pè yín sínú ìrètí kan nígbà tí a pè yín.
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
Olúwa kan, ìgbàgbọ́ kan àti ìtẹ̀bọmi kan.
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.
Ọlọ́run kan àti Baba gbogbo aráyé, ẹni tí ó ṣe olórí ohun gbogbo àti nípá gbogbo àti nínú ohun gbogbo.
7 But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.
Ṣùgbọ́n olúkúlùkù wa ni a fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ fun gẹ́gẹ́ bi òsùwọ̀n ẹ̀bùn Kristi.
8 Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.
Nítorí náà a wí pé: “Nígbà tí ó gòkè lọ sí ibi gíga, ó di ìgbèkùn ni ìgbèkùn, ó sì fi ẹ̀bùn fun ènìyàn.”
9 Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
(Ǹjẹ́ ní ti pé, “Ó gòkè lọ!” Kín ni ó túmọ̀ sí, bí kò ṣe pé ó kọ́ sọ̀kalẹ̀ pẹ̀lú lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Ẹni tí ó ti sọ̀kalẹ̀, Òun kan náà ni ó sì ti gòkè rékọjá gbogbo àwọn ọ̀run, kí ó lè kún ohun gbogbo.)
11 And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors,
Nítorí náà ó sì ti fi àwọn kan fún ni bí aposteli; àti àwọn mìíràn bí i wòlíì; àti àwọn mìíràn bí efangelisti, àti àwọn mìíràn bí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn àti olùkọ́ni.
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Fún àṣepé àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ fun iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́, fún ìmúdàgbà ara Kristi.
13 Until we all meet into the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ;
Títí gbogbo wa yóò fi dé ìṣọ̀kan ìgbàgbọ́ àti ìmọ̀ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run, títí a ó fi di ọkùnrin, títí a ó fi dé ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ìwọ̀n Kristi.
14 That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive.
Kí àwa má ṣe jẹ́ èwe mọ́, tí a ń fi gbogbo afẹ́fẹ́ ẹ̀kọ́ tì síwá tì sẹ́yìn, tí a sì fi ń gbá kiri, nípa ìtànjẹ ènìyàn, nípa àrékérekè fun ọgbọ́nkọ́gbọ́n àti mú ni ṣìnà.
15 But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:
Ṣùgbọ́n ká a máa sọ òtítọ́ ní ìfẹ́, kí a lè máa dàgbàsókè nínú rẹ̀ ní ohun gbogbo ẹni tí i ṣe orí, àní Kristi.
16 From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.
Láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni ti ara náà tí a ń so ṣọ̀kan pọ̀, tí ó sì ń fi ara mọ́ra, nípasẹ̀ oríkèé kọ̀ọ̀kan tí a ti pèsè, nígbà tí ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan bá ń ṣiṣẹ́ dáradára, yóò mú ara dàgbà, yóò sì gbé ara òun tìkára rẹ̀ dìde nínú ìfẹ́.
17 This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,
Ǹjẹ́ èyí ni mo ń wí, tí mo sì ń jẹ́rìí nínú Olúwa pé, láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, kí ẹ̀yin má ṣe rìn mọ́, àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn aláìkọlà ti ń rìn nínú ìrònú asán wọn.
18 Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts.
Òye àwọn ẹni tí ó ṣókùnkùn, a sì yà wọ́n nínú ìyè Ọlọ́run nítorí àìmọ̀ tí ń bẹ nínú wọn, nítorí líle ọkàn wọn.
19 Who despairing, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
Àwọn ẹni tí ọkàn wọn le rékọjá, tí wọ́n sì ti fi ara wọn fún wọ̀bìà, láti máa fi ìwọra ṣiṣẹ́ ìwà èérí gbogbo.
20 But you have not so learned Christ;
Ṣùgbọ́n a kò fi Kristi kọ́ yín bẹ́ẹ̀.
21 If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Bí ó bá ṣe pé nítòótọ́ ni ẹ ti gbóhùn rẹ̀ ti a sì ti kọ́ yín nínú rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òtítọ́ ti ń bẹ nínú Jesu.
22 To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.
Pé, ní tì ìwà yín àtijọ́, kí ẹ̀yin bọ́ ògbólógbòó ọkùnrin nì sílẹ̀, èyí tí ó díbàjẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ẹ̀tàn;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind:
kí ẹ sì di tuntun ni ẹ̀mí inú yín;
24 And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
kí ẹ sì gbé ọkùnrin tuntun ni wọ̀, èyí tí a dá ni àwòrán Ọlọ́run nínú òdodo àti ìwà mímọ́ ti òtítọ́.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak; ye the truth every man with his neighbour; for we are members one of another.
Nítorí náà ẹ fi èké ṣíṣe sílẹ̀, ki olúkúlùkù yín kí ó máa ba ọmọnìkejì rẹ̀ sọ òtítọ́, nítorí ẹ̀yà ara ọmọnìkejì wa ni àwa jẹ́.
26 Be angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
Nínú ìbínú yín, ẹ máa ṣe ṣẹ̀, ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí oòrùn wọ̀ bá ìbínú yín,
27 Give not place to the devil.
bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ má ṣe fi ààyè ẹ̀gbẹ́ kan fún Èṣù.
28 He that stole, let him now steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.
Kí ẹni tí ń jalè má ṣe jalè mọ́: ṣùgbọ́n kí ó kúkú máa ṣe làálàá, kí ó máa fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ṣiṣẹ́ ohun tí ó dára, kí òun lè ní láti pín fún ẹni tí ó ṣe aláìní.
29 Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth; but that which is good, to the edification of faith, that it may administer grace to the hearers.
Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ ìdíbàjẹ́ kan ti ẹnu yín jáde, ṣùgbọ́n irú èyí tí ó lè ràn ìdàgbàsókè wọn lọ́wọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun tí wọ́n nílò, kí ó lè máa fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ fún àwọn tí ń gbọ́.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ẹ má sì ṣe mú Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ Ọlọ́run bínú, ẹni tí a fi ṣe èdìdì yín dé ọjọ́ ìdáǹdè.
31 Let all bitterness, and anger, and indignation, and clamour, and blasphemy, be put away from you, with all malice.
Gbogbo ìwà kíkorò àti ìbínú, àti ìrunú, àti ariwo, àti ọ̀rọ̀ búburú ni kí a mú kúrò lọ́dọ̀ yín, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àrankàn.
32 And be ye kind one to another; merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.
Ẹ máa ṣoore fún ọmọnìkejì yín, ẹ ní ìyọ́nú, ẹ máa dáríjì ara yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run nínú Kristi ti dáríjì yín.
