Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation with which you are called,
Kanaafuu ani kan Gooftaaf jedhee hidhame, isin waamicha itti waamamtan sanaaf akka malutti akka jiraattan isin nan kadhadha.
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love;
Guutumaan guutuutti gad of qabaa; garraamota taʼaa; obsa qabaadhaa; jaalalaanis wal dandaʼaa.
3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Hidhaa nagaatiin tokkummaa Hafuuraa eeguuf carraaqaa.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;
Akkuma yeroo waamamtanitti gara abdii tokkootti waamamtan sana, dhagna tokkoo fi Hafuura tokkotu jira;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Gooftaa tokko, amantii tokkoo fi cuuphaa tokkotu jira;
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Waaqaa fi Abbaan waan hundaa, inni waan hundaa ol taʼe, kan waan hunda keessatti hojjetuu fi kan waan hunda keessa jiru tokkichatu jira.
7 But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Garuu akkuma safara kennaa Kiristoositti tokkoo tokkoo keenyaaf ayyaanni kennameera.
8 Why he says, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.
Kanaafuu, “Inni yommuu ol gubbaa baʼetti, boojuu boojiʼe; namootaafis kennaa kenne” jedha.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Egaa, “Inni ol baʼe” jechuun isaa dhidhima lafaatti gad buʼe jechuu malee maal jechuu isaa ti?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Inni gad buʼe sun isuma waan hunda guutuuf jedhee samiiwwan hundaa olitti ol baʼee dha.
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Innis namoota tokko tokko ergamoota, kaan raajota, kaan lallabdoota wangeelaa, kaan immoo tiksootaa fi barsiistota taasisee kenne;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
waan kanas akka dhagni Kiristoos ijaaramuuf qulqulloota hojii tajaajilaatiif qopheessuuf jedhee godhe;
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
kunis waan hamma hundi keenya tokkummaa amantiitii fi tokkummaa Ilma Waaqaa beekuu bira geenyutti, akka guddannee sadarkaa guutama Kiristoos bira gaʼuudhaan namoota bilchaatoo taanuuf.
14 That we from now on be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Egaa nu siʼachi duraa duubatti dadarbatamaa bubbee barsiisa gosa hundaatiin, haxxummaa fi jalʼina marii gowwoomsitootaatiin asii fi achi oofamaa daaʼimman hin taanu.
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Qooda kanaa jaalalaan dhugaa dubbachaa gara isa mataa taʼe sanaatti waan hundaan ni guddanna; innis Kiristoos.
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love.
Isumaanis kutaaleen dhagnaa guutuun ribuu walitti isaan qabuun hidhamaniiru; yommuu kutaaleen dhagnaa sun hundi hojii isaanii hojjetanittis dhagni sun jaalalaan guddatee of ijaara.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you from now on walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Kanaafuu ani waan kana isinitti nan hima; maqaa Gooftaatiinis jabeessee isinitti nan dubbadha; isin siʼachi akka Namoonni Ormaa warri yaadni isaanii faayidaa hin qabne sun jiraatanitti hin jiraatinaa.
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Sababii mata jabina isaaniitiinis waan wallaalummaan isaan keessa jiruuf hubannaan isaanii dukkaneeffameera; jireenya Waaqaa keessaas baʼaniiru.
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Isaanis waan qalbiin isaanii hadoodeef hamma xuraaʼummaa gosa hundaa keessa galanitti sassattummaan guutaman.
20 But you have not so learned Christ;
Isin garuu akkasitti Kiristoosin hin barre;
21 If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
isin dhugumaan akkuma dhugaa Yesuus keessa jiru sanaatti waaʼee Kiristoos dhageessanii isumaanis barsiifamtaniirtu.
22 That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Haala jireenya keessan kan durii, eenyummaa keessan moofaa hawwii gowwoomsaa isaatiin xuraaʼe sana dhabamsiisaa;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
hafuura yaada keessaniitiinis haaromfamaa;
24 And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
namummaa haaraa isa qajeelummaa fi qulqullina dhugaatiin fakkeenya Waaqaatiin uumame sana uffadhaa.
25 Why putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
Kanaafuu waan nu hundi miseensa walii taaneef tokkoon tokkoon keessan soba of keessaa baastanii ollaa keessanitti dhugaa dubbachuu qabdu.
26 Be you angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath:
“Aaraa malee cubbuu hin hojjetinaa;” utuma aartanii jirtaniis aduun hin lixin;
27 Neither give place to the devil.
diiyaabiloosiifis carraa hin kenninaa.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needs.
Namni kanaan dura hataa ture siʼachi hin hatin; qooda kanaa akka warra rakkatan gargaaruu dandaʼuuf harkuma ofii isaatiin waan faayidaa qabu haa hojjetu.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.
Waan nama ijaaruuf gargaaru, akkuma barbaachisaa taʼettis waan warra dhaggeeffataniif ayyaana kennu malee dubbiin hamaan tokko iyyuu afaan keessanii hin baʼin.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed to the day of redemption.
Hafuura Qulqulluu Waaqaa kan guyyaa furamaatiif ittiin chaappeffamtan sana hin gaddisiisinaa.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Hadhaaʼummaan, dheekkamsii fi aariin, wacnii fi maqaa nama balleessuun hundinuu hammina hundumaa wajjin isin irraa haa fagaatu.
32 And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.
Akkuma Waaqni karaa Kiristoosiin dhiifama isinii godhe sana, isinis dhiifama walii godhaa; walii naʼaa; garaas walii laafaa.
