Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,
Tedongah Boeipa ah thongtla kai loh nangmih aka khue kah khuenah neh a tingtawk la pongthoh ham kan hloep.
2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Tlayaenah neh muelhtuetnah cungkuem neh, thinsennah neh lungnah dongah khat neh khat yaknaem uh thae.
3 giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Rhoepnah kah pinyennah dongah Mueihla kah kodoknah te khoem ham haam uh lah.
4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;
Nangmih kah khuenah te ngaiuepnah pakhat dongah n'khue uh vanbangla pum pakhat neh mueihla pakhat ni a om.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Boeipa pakhat, tangnah pakhat, baptisma pakhat ni a om.
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
A cungkuem kah Pathen neh Pa tah pakhat ni. Te tah cungkuem soah cungkuem lamloh cungkuem dongah om.
7 But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Tedae Khrih kah kutdoe tarhing la mamih khat rhip taengah lungvatnah m'paek coeng.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.
Te dongah, “Hmuen sang la a luei vaengah tamna te a mawt tih hlang rhoek taengah kutdoe a paek,” a ti.
9 (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
A luei nen te dawk om pawt tih diklai hmuen te a laedil duela suntla bal.
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Amah te suntla tih a cungkuem te soep sak ham vaan boeih kah a soah aka luei la om bal.
11 And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Te phoeiah amah loh a ngen te caeltueih rhoek, a ngen te tonghma rhoek, a ngen te olthangthen aka thui la, a ngen tah, tudawn neh saya la a khueh.
12 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:
Bibi dongkah bitat dongah hlangcim rhoek kah hamsoepnah ham, Khrih pum dongkah hlinsainah ham a khueh.
13 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Tangnah dongkah kodoknah dongah, Pathen capa kah mingnah dongah, lungcuei hlang pakhat la, Khrih a soepnah pumrho dongkah cungnueh dongla boeih m'pha uh duela a khueh.
14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
Te daengah ni cahmang la n'om uh pawt eh. Rhaithinah neh tholhhiknah lungpoek dongla aka mawt hlang kah thailatnah loh thuituennah khohli neh a vikvawk tih boeih a yawn lah ko.
15 but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, which is the head, [even] Christ;
Oltak thui uh sih lamtah lungnah neh amah dongah boeih rhoeng uh sih. Khrih amah te a lu la om.
16 from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in [due] measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.
Amah lamloh pum he boeih kiba tih cului uh. Rhuhcong boeih lamloh pakhat rhip kah cungnueh neh a bibi tarhing ah bomnah neh a cungvang khaw pum pakhat kah rhoengnah dongah lungnah neh amah kah hlinsainah te a khueh.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Te dongah Boeipa ah ni ka thui tih ka laipai. Namtom rhoek loh a lungbuei kah a honghi neh a pongpa uh bangla nangmih te pongpa uh boeh.
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 heart;
A kopoek te a hmuep la a om pah tih Pathen kah hingnah te a hai coeng. A khuikah kotalhnah neh a thinko kah thinthahnah khaw om pai.
19 who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Amih yahdaeng rhoek loh halhkanah cungkuem neh rhongingnah bibi ham te omthenbawn dongla amah voei uh.
20 But ye did not so learn Christ;
Tedae nangmih tah tetlam te om uh boeh Khrih te mah awt uh.
21 if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
Amah te na yaak uh tangloeng atah Jesuh ah oltak a om vanbangla amah dongah ni n'thuituen uh.
22 that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, which waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
Hmilhmaknah kah hoehhamnah dongah aka poeih uh lamhma kah hlang rhuem omih te nangmih loh duul uh.
23 and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Te dongah nangmih kah lungbuei te mueihla neh thai sakuh.
24 and put on the new man, which after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Pathen loh duengnah neh oltak kah cimcaihnah dongah n'suen vanbangla hlang thai te bai uh.
25 Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Te dongah laithae te duul uh sih lamtah khat rhip loh a imben taengah oltak thui uh sih. Khat neh khat pumrho lam ni n'om uh.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Kosi na hong uh akhaw tholh puei uh boeh. Khomik loh nangmih kah thintoeknah te tlak thil boel saeh.
27 neither give place to the devil.
Rhaithae te hmuen pae boeh.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.
Aka huen loh huen voel boel saeh. Tedae amah kut neh a then saii ham thakthae lat saeh. Te daengah ni aka ngoe te aka doedan la a om eh.
29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.
Ol rhong ol ing boeih te nangmih kah ka lamloh thoeng boel saeh. Tedae a then pakhat a om atah a ngoe vaengkah hlinsainah la om saeh. Te daengah ni aka ya rhoek te lungvatnah a paek eh.
30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.
Te phoeiah Pathen kah Mueihla Cim te kothet sak boeh. Amah loh tlannah khohnin ham kutnoek n'daeng coeng.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:
Olkhaa cuengkuem neh thinsanah khaw, kosi neh rhungrhah khaw, soehsalnah neh phayoenah boeih khaw nangmih lamloh khoe uh.
32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.
Te phoeiah khat neh khat taengah sitloh thimhalh neh kodam la om uh. Khrih ah Pathen loh nangmih rhen bangla khat neh khat khodawkngai uh.
