Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, urge you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
Hiza, Godaa gisho qashettida taani, hintte xeegettida xeessas bessiya de7o daana mela hinttena woossays.
2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
Hintte ubba wode aadatanne hayo gidite; issoy issuwa dandda7itenne siiqon de7ite.
3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Sarotethan qashettidi Ayyaanay immiya issifetethaa naaganaw minnite.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
Xoossay hinttena xeegida wode issi ufayssas xeegidayssada issi asatethinne issi Ayyaani de7ees.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Issi Goday, issi ammanoynne issi xinqqatey de7ees.
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
Ubbaafe bolla gidida, ubbaa baggara oothiyanne ubbaa giddon de7iya issi Xoossay, ubbaa Aaway de7ees.
7 But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Shin Kiristtoosi immanaw koyidayssada nu issoy issoy dumma dumma imota ekkida.
8 Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people."
Hessa gisho, Xoossaa qaalay, “I pude keyida wode di7ettida darota baara ekkidi bis; asaaskka imotaa immis” yaagees.
9 Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Yaatin, “Pude keyis” guussay woy guussee? I koyro duge, sa7aa ziqqa bessaa wodhdhis guussu gidonna ixxiko ay gussee?
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Ha duge wodhdhidayssi, ubba bessan benttanaw ubbaafe dhoqqa saluwa keyidayssi iya.
11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
I issota issota hawaare, issota issota nabe, issota issota Wonggelaa sabaake, issota issota woosa keethi heemmeyssa, issota issota asttamaare oothidi immis.
12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;
I hessa oothiday Kiristtoosa asatethi gidida woosa keethi dichchanawunne ammaniyaa asaa Xoossaa oosos giigisanaassa.
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature person, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
Hessadakka, nu ubbay Xoossaa Na7aa eridi ammanon benttiya issifetethaakko gakkidi, Kiristtoosa ayyaana de7uwa kumethaa gakkidi diccana melassa.
14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by cleverness in deceitful schemes;
Hizappe guye, asaa gene cimon giigida balethiya worddo timirtte carkkoninne hobben gedenne haa kuullo kaa7iya nayta mela gidanaw bessenna.
15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;
Shin nuuni tumaa siiqon odishe asatetethaas huu7e gidiya Kiristtoosara de7iya issifetethaa gujji gujji dichchoos.
16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
Kumetha asatethay Kiristtoosa bolla zemppees qassi dumma dumma asatetha billiteti issoy issuwara oykettidi uttis. Issi issi asatetha kifiley ba oosuwa oothiya wode kumetha asatethay siiqon diccees.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the nations also walk, in the futility of their mind,
Hessa gisho, taani hayssa hinttew Godaa sunthan odaysinne markkattays. Go77i baynna qofaa qoppiya Ayhude gidonna asatada de7oppite.
18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts;
Entta qofay dhumis; bantta wozanaa muumisidosona. Entti eratetha dhayoninne ixxas guussan Xoossay immiya de7uwappe haakkidosona.
19 who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Entti yeella giyabaa erokkonna; entti laymatethas banttana aathi immidosona; qassi tunabaa ubbaa guye goonna oothoosona.
20 But you did not learn Christ that way;
Shin hintte Kiristtoosa eriday hessa mela ogen gidenna.
21 if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
Iyabaa tuma si7ideta. Qassi Yesuusan de7iya tumaa mela iyappe tamaarideta.
22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
Hintte kase de7iya de7o ogiya aggite. Qassi ba cimmiya amon dhaya hintte ceega asatethaa diggite.
23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Hintte wozanaa qofan ooraxite.
24 and put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Tuma xillotethaninne geeshshatethan Xoossaa leemison medhettida ooratha asatethaa ma77ite.
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
Hiza, worddo odettofite. Nuuni ubbay Kiristtoosa asatethaa billiteta gidiya gisho asa ubbaara tuma odettite.
26 "Be angry, but do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your anger,
Hanqettite, shin hintte hanquwan nagara oothofite. Hintte hanqeti de7ishin awi wullofo.
27 neither give place to the devil.
Xalahes besse immofite.
28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
Kaysiya uray hizappe guye kaysotoppo. Shin manqota maaddiyabay iyaw daana mela ba kushen lo77obaa ootho.
29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Hintte doonappe iita qaali keyoppo. Shin si7eyssata go77ana melanne harata minthethiya koshshiya lo77o qaali hintte doonappe keyo.
30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Xoossay hinttena woziya gallasaas hinttena attamidi wothida Xoossaa Ayyaana azzanthofite.
31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
Cametethi, yilo, hanqo, waaso, cashshenne iita ubbaa hinttefe haassite.
32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Aathidi issoy issuwas keehanne qadhetteyssata gidite. Xoossay Kiristtoosa baggara hinttew atto gidayssada hintteka wolis atto giite.
