Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Rumal kꞌu waꞌ in kꞌo pa cheꞌ rumal utzijoxik ri Ajawxel, xa kꞌu kinta chiꞌwe: Chikꞌaslebꞌej jun utz laj kꞌaslemal taqal che ri sikꞌinik ri xikꞌamawaꞌj.
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Chimochꞌo iwibꞌ xuqujeꞌ utz chixnoꞌjinoq, man kayakataj ta iwoyawal aninaq, chiꞌkꞌamawaꞌj nikꞌaj winaq chik rukꞌ loqꞌanik.
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Chikojo ichuqꞌabꞌ rech xa ix jun, jetaq ri karaj ri Uxlabꞌixel, rumal ri jaꞌmaril ri kꞌo chi ixoꞌl.
4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Xa jun tyoꞌjal, xa jun Uxlabꞌixel, xa jun kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx, are riꞌ ri sikꞌinik ri ubꞌanom ri Dios.
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Xa jun Ajawxel, xa jun kojobꞌal, xa jun qasanaꞌ.
6 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.
Xa jun Dios xuqujeꞌ xa jun Tataxel kech konojel ri winaq, ri kꞌo pa kiwiꞌ konojel, xuqujeꞌ chikixoꞌl konojel, je xuqujeꞌ pa kanimaꞌ konojel.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Yaꞌtal kꞌu chaqe chqajujunal ri toqꞌobꞌ jetaq ri retabꞌal ri Cristo are xujach ri sipanik.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Rumal waꞌ kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik: Are xpaqiꞌ chikaj xuꞌkaꞌm bꞌik konojel ri e chaptal bꞌik xuqujeꞌ xuya jaljoj taq sipanik chike ri achyabꞌ.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
¿Jas kel kubꞌij waꞌ chi xpaqiꞌ chikaj? Kel kubꞌij chi nabꞌe xqaj bꞌik xuqujeꞌ kꞌa chuxeꞌ ri ulew.
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Ri xqaj bꞌik chuxeꞌ ri ulew, are waꞌ ri xpaqiꞌ xuqujeꞌ bꞌik pa ri kaj, chunojisaxik ronojel.
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Areꞌ na xyoꞌw bꞌe chike ri winaq rech kꞌo kuꞌx e taqoꞌn, e nikꞌaj chik e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios, e nikꞌaj chik e tzijol taq utzij ri Dios, e nikꞌaj chik aꞌjyuqꞌabꞌ, xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj chik aꞌjtijabꞌ.
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Rech keꞌkitijoj ri utinimit ri Dios chubꞌanik ri patanijem, rech kawok ri utyoꞌjal ri Cristo.
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Xaq jeriꞌ kujux xa jun pa ri qakojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ pa ri etaꞌmanik rech ri Ukꞌojol ri Dios, rech kujux ko pa ri qakojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ rech kujopan pa ri tzꞌaqat etabꞌal rech ri Cristo.
14 That we [henceforth] 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;
Rech man je ta kujuxik jas ri akꞌalabꞌ ri man xaq ta jun kekꞌojiꞌ wi, kebꞌe jewaꞌ jeriꞌ, rumal ri kꞌutuꞌn ri kaya chike kumal ri e qꞌolonelabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri xaq kesubꞌunik.
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:
Xaq jeriꞌ kaqatzijoj ri qas tzij, rukꞌ loqꞌabꞌal kuꞌx, xuqujeꞌ kujkꞌiyik kꞌa kujux na jetaq ri Cristo areꞌ jolomaj rech ri komontyox.
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Rumal rech ri Cristo kakꞌiy ri qatyoꞌjal, rumal cher chikijujunal ri wokowinaq ri tyoꞌjal kakibꞌan ri kichak rech jeriꞌ kakitoꞌ kibꞌ kekꞌiyik xuqujeꞌ kakikꞌamawaꞌj kichuqꞌabꞌ pa ri loqꞌanik, rumal kitiqeloꞌm ribꞌ.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Xaq jeriꞌ pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel kinta chiꞌwe: Man je ta bꞌa kixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri winaq ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj, ri aꞌreꞌ e sachinaq rukꞌ taq ri kinoꞌjibꞌal.
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:
Qꞌequꞌmarinaq ri kichomabꞌal. Man kakikiꞌkotebꞌej ta ri kꞌaslemal ri kape rukꞌ ri Dios, kowirinaq ri kanimaꞌ, rumal chi man kꞌo ta ketaꞌmabꞌal.
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Maj chi kikꞌixibꞌal, xkijach kibꞌ pa ri bꞌanoj taq mak, man kakꞌis taj ta kikꞌuꞌx chubꞌanik ri etzelal.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
Man are ta kꞌu waꞌ ri kꞌutuꞌn ri xikꞌamawaꞌj che ri Cristo.
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
We na kꞌu qas xita ri xtzijox chiꞌwe, chi xaq pa Jesús kꞌo wi qas tzij.
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Xaq jeriꞌ rajawaxik kitzaq kan ronojel ri qꞌeꞌl taq inoꞌjibꞌal xuqujeꞌ chiya kanoq ronojel ri xixux kan nabꞌe, rumal cher qꞌayinaq chik ri ikꞌaslemal riꞌ, rumal ri itzel taq irayinik.
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Chikꞌexa bꞌa ri ukꞌuꞌx ri ichomanik.
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Xuqujeꞌ chikojo ri kꞌakꞌ taq atzꞌyaq rech ri kꞌakꞌ taq noꞌjibꞌal rech ri kꞌakꞌ kꞌaslemal, ri bꞌantal jetaq ri ukaꞌyibꞌal ri Dios, pa ri qas tzij, ri sukꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Man kibꞌan ta chi bꞌa ri bꞌanoj taq tzij, are chibꞌij ri qas tzij kukꞌ taq ri ikꞌul ja, rumal qonojel xa jun tyoꞌjal qaꞌnik.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Man kiya ta bꞌe che ri oyawal kabꞌan rech piꞌwiꞌ. Man kiya ta bꞌe naj kixoyowarik.
27 Neither give place to the devil.
Man kiya ta bꞌe che ri Itzel kok piꞌwanimaꞌ.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Ri kelaqꞌ kan nabꞌe, man kelaqꞌ ta chik, xane chakunoq rukꞌ sukꞌal, rukꞌ ri uqꞌabꞌ rech kꞌo kuya chike ri winaq ri e mebꞌa.
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 unto the hearers.
Man kibꞌij ta itzel taq tzij. Are chitzijoj jastaq ri kukꞌam la utzilal chike ri ketowik.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Man kiya ta bꞌis che ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Dios, ri xukoj iwetal are xixkiritajik.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Chitzaqa kan ronojel kꞌaxal ri kꞌo pa iwanimaꞌ, oyawal, yojtajem, raqoj taq chiꞌaj, bꞌanoj taq tzij, xuqujeꞌ ronojel uwach etzelal.
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Xane utz chixnoꞌjinoq, cheꞌl ikꞌuꞌx chike ri winaq, chikuyu taq iwibꞌ jacha ri xubꞌan ri Dios xixukuy pa Cristo.
