Ephesians 4
1 Therefore I, who am in prison because [I serve] the Lord [Jesus], urge you, whom God has chosen [to be his people, to do these things]: Conduct your lives as [God’s people] should.
मै प्रभु की सेवा करण के कारण कैद म्ह सूं, अर थारे तै बिनती करुँ सूं, के जिस बुलाहट तै परमेसवर नै थारे ताहीं बुलाया सै, उस्से तरियां जीवन बिताओ।
2 Always be humble, and do not demand your own rights. Be patient [with each other], and, because you love each other, endure each other’s ([irritating] behavior/behavior that you do not like).
यानी सारी दीनता अर नम्रता गैल, धीरज धरकै प्यार तै एक-दुसरे नै सह ल्यो।
3 [God’s] Spirit has caused you to be united [with one another], so do all that you can to remain united [with one another] by acting peacefully [toward each other].
इसा करण की भरपूर कोशिश करो, के थम रळ-मिलकै रह सकों, क्यूँके परमेसवर की आत्मा के जरिये थम एक ए होण खात्तर बुलाए गये सों।
4 [All we believers form just one group] [MET], and we have only one [Holy] Spirit. Similarly, you were chosen {[God] chose you} in order that you all might confidently keep expecting one [set of good] things [from God].
हम सारे बिश्वासी, देह के अंगां की ढाळ सां, अर सारया नै एकैए पवित्र आत्मा पाई सै, उस्से ढाळ जिब परमेसवर नै थारे ताहीं अपणे माणस होण खात्तर बुलाया था, तो थारे ताहीं एक उम्मीद दी गई थी।
5 There is only one Lord, [Jesus Christ]. We all believe the same [teaching about him. It was to show that we belong to him] alone that [we had someone] baptize us.
सिर्फ एके प्रभु सै, एके बिश्वास सै, हम सारया नै यीशु के नाम म्ह बपतिस्मा पाया सै,
6 There is one God, who is the [spiritual] Father of all [us believers]. He [rules] over all his people; he enables all his people [to do powerful things] (OR, he sustains all his people); and his [Spirit lives] in all his people.
सिर्फ एके परमेसवर सै जो सारे माणसां का पिता सै, जो सब कै उप्पर राज करै सै, अर हम सब कै जरिये काम करै सै, अर हम सारया के म्ह रहवै सै।
7 Christ has generously given to each one of us spiritual gifts, just like he decided to give them.
पर मसीह नै हम सारया ताहीं उसके काम करण खात्तर न्यारे-न्यारे ढाळ की खास काबलियत देई सै।
8 [When Christ gave] gifts to his people, [it was similar to what the Psalmist said about God receiving tribute money] from those whom he had conquered, When he ascended to heaven, he gave as gifts to people the things [that he had taken] from the people whom he captured:
इस करकै पवित्र-ग्रन्थ मसीह के बारें म्ह कहवै सै, “वो ऊँच्चे पै चढ़ा अर कैदियाँ नै बाँधले ग्या, अर माणसां ताहीं आत्मिक दान दिए।”
9 The words ‘he ascended’ certainly imply/indicate [RHQ] that Christ had also previously descended to the earth.
उसकै ऊँच्चे पै चढ़ण का, के मतलब हो सकै सै, सिवाए इसके के वो अधोलोक म्ह भी उतर ग्या।
10 Christ, who descended [to earth], is also the one who ascended to the most exalted position in heaven, in order that he might show his power [MTY] throughout the universe.
अर जो उतर ग्या, यो वोए सै, जो सुर्ग म्ह सारे तै ऊँच्चे पद पै पोहच ग्या, जिसतै के उसका राज सारे ब्रह्माण्ड म्ह फैल जावै।
11 He appointed some people to be apostles. He appointed some people to be (prophets/ones who reveal messages that come directly from God). He appointed some people to be (evangelists/ones whose work is to tell others the message about Christ). He appointed some people to lead and teach [the congregations].
यो मसीह सै जो म्हारे ताहीं वरदान देवै सै, उसनै कईयाँ तै प्रेरित, अर कईयाँ तै नबी, कईयाँ तै सुसमाचार सुणाण आळे, कईयाँ तै सेवक अर शिक्षक नियुक्त करया, इनकी जिम्मेदारी या सै के ये और दुसरे माणसां नै सीखा के परमेसवर का काम करवा सकै, अर कलीसिया जो मसीह की देह सै उस ताहीं मजबूत कर सकै।
12 [He appointed all of these] in order that they would prepare God’s people to do [God’s] work, so that all the people who belong to Christ [MET] might become [spiritually] mature.
13 He wants all of us [believers] to be united [because] we all believe in the Son of God (OR, the man who was also God) and [because] we all know [him]. He wants us to become spiritually mature; that is, he wants us to be (perfect/all that God wants us to be), [just like] Christ was ([perfect/all that God wanted him to be]).
यो तब तक होन्दा रहवैगा जिब तक के हम अपणे बिश्वास, अर परमेसवर के बेट्टे कै बारें म्ह अपणी समझ म्ह एक ना हो जावां, फेर हम सिध्द बणागे जिस तरियां मसीह सिध्द सै, अर हम पूरी तरियां तै उसके जिसे बण जावांगे।
14 Then we will no longer be [spiritually immature], like [MET] little children [are immature]. We will no longer be constantly [changing what we believe, like] [MET] waves of the sea are [constantly changing as the wind blows and] tosses them back and forth. We will not allow people who teach [what is false] and who scheme to deceive/influence us.
मसीह म्ह बढ़ण अर सिध्द होण कै कारण, हम बाळकां के जिसा बरताव ना करां, हम उस किस्ती की ढाळ ना बणा, जिसनै झाल आग्गै-पाच्छै, अर हवा आस्सै-पास्सै उछाळै सै। इसका मतलब यो सै, के चलाक, अर ठग माणस अपणी झूठ्ठी शिक्षा कै जरिये हमनै धोक्खा न्ही देण पावै।
15 Instead, by loving [others] as we behave as [God’s] truth requires (OR, speak in a loving manner what is true), we will become more and more like Christ in every way. He is the one [who controls/guides all his people] [MET], [just like a person’s] head [controls/guides his] body.
बल्के सच नै प्यार तै बोल्लों, अर सारी बात्तां म्ह मसीह यीशु की तरियां सिध्द बणो, जो के म्हारा सिर सै।
16 He [enables all those who belong to him to mature spiritually. A person’s body grows stronger, as] each part of the body is joined to the others by the ligaments and as each part (functions properly/works as it should). Similarly, believers will become mature [spiritually] by loving each other and by each of them doing the work [that God wants them to do] [MET].
हम सारे जो मसीह म्ह बिश्वास करां सां, हम उसकी देह के अंग की तरियां सां, जिस तरियां एक माणस की देह, जोड़ा के जरिये एक साथ जुड़ी हो सै अर जिब देह का हर हिस्सा आच्छी तरियां काम करै सै, तो देह का विकास होकै मजबूत बणे सै, इस्से तरियां म्हारे म्ह तै जै कोए मसीह का काम करै सै, जो मसीह नै म्हारे ताहीं दिया सै, तो हम भी मजबूत अर सिध्द होवां सां, अर हम एक-दुसरे तै ज्यादा प्यार करां सां।
17 The Lord [Jesus] has authorized me to strongly tell you that you must no longer conduct your lives like unbelievers do. The futile/worthless way in which they think [MET] [controls how they conduct their lives].
इस करकै परमेसवर नै जो अधिकार मेरे ताहीं दिया सै, उसकी बजह तै मै न्यू कहूँ सूं, के जिसा अबिश्वासी माणस अपणे मन की बेकार की रीति-रिवाजां म्ह अपणा जीवन जीवै सै, थम आज तै इसा जीवन ना जिओ।
18 They are unable to think clearly [MET] [about what is right and what is wrong]. Because they have decided that they do not want to know about God and because they stubbornly [IDM] refuse to [listen to his message], they do not have the [eternal] life that God [gives us].
क्यूँके वे समझ न्ही पाण लागरे, के उस अज्ञानता कै कारण, अर उनके मन की कठोरता कै कारण, जो उन म्ह सै, वे परमेसवर के उस जीवन तै न्यारे करे गए सै जो परमेसवर देवै सै।
19 The result is that because they have ceased (to care/to be concerned) [about what is right and what is wrong], they have (deliberately committed themselves to doing/wholeheartedly decided to do) the shameful things that their bodies want, and they commit all kinds of immoral acts, and continually are eager to do more of those things.
वे बुरे काम की बजह तै अपणी गलती महसूस न्ही करते अर उननै अपणे-आप ताहीं बुरे काम्मां खात्तर सौप दिया सै, वे सारी ढाळ के भुन्डे़ काम लगातार करते जावै सै।
20 But when you learned [about] Christ, you did not learn [to behave] like that.
पर थमनै मसीह की शिक्षायां म्ह इसे काम करणे न्ही सीखे।
21 I am sure that you heard the message about [Christ], and because you are people who have a close relationship with him, you were taught {[others] taught you} the true [way to live] that Jesus [showed us].
बल्के जो थमनै यीशु मसीह के बारें म्ह सुण्या अर जो थारे शिक्षकां नै सिखाया, वोए उसकी ओड़ तै सच्चा सन्देस सै।
22 [You were taught] {[They taught you]} that you must put aside [MET] your evil nature; [that is, that you must not behave like you formerly did]. Your evil desires deceived you, making you want to do evil things and causing you to think that [doing that was good for you]; and your thinking like that was destroying you [spiritually].
अर थारे शिक्षकां नै थारे बुरे काम अर बुरा सुभाव छोड़णा सिखाया सै, थारी बुरी लालसायां नै थारा जीवन नाश कर दिया।
23 Others taught you that instead, you must let [God’s Spirit] change the way you think,
थम पवित्र आत्मा नै थारे सुभाव अर सोच्चण के तरिक्कें नै बदलण द्यो।
24 and that you must start being [MET] the new persons that God made you to become. That is, your [behavior] must be righteous and truly/genuinely devout.
परमेसवर नै थारे ताहीं एक नया सुभाव दिया सै, जो के उसके अपणे सुभाव की तरियां सै, इस करकै इस नये सुभाव के मुताबिक बरताव करो। असलियत म्ह धर्मी अर पवित्र बणो।
25 Therefore, quit lying to one another. Instead, because we all belong to just one group [of believers], speak truthfully to each other.
इस कारण झूठ बोलणा छोड़कै हरेक अपणे पड़ोसी तै सच बोल्लै, क्यूँके हम आप्पस म्ह हम एक ही देह के अंग सां।
26 If you get angry, do not sin [as a result of] getting angry. Before the end of the day [MTY], stop being angry;
जै थारे ताहीं गुस्सा आ भी जावै तो उस गुस्से म्ह पाप ना करियो, अर सूरज ढळण तै पैहल्या थारा गुस्सा भी न्ही रहणा चाहिए।
27 [by doing that], you will not allow the devil to make you do evil.
अर अपणे-आप ताहीं शैतान नै परखण का मौक्का ना द्यो।
28 Those who have been stealing must not steal any longer. Instead, they should work hard to earn (their living/what they need) ([by] their own efforts/[by] what they do themselves) [MTY], in order that they may have [something] to give to those who are needy.
चोरी करण आळा फेर चोरी ना करै, बल्के मेहनत करकै अपणी कमाई के जरिये दुसरे माणसां की भी मदद कर सकै, जो जरूरत मन्द हो।
29 Do not use [MTY] foul language. Instead, say only things that are useful for helping people when they need help, things that will help [spiritually] the people that you talk to.
कोए भी गलत बात थारे मुँह तै ना लिकड़ै, पर जरूरत कै मुताबिक वोए लिकड़ै जो दुसरयां के बिश्वास की बढ़ोतरी कै खात्तर हो, ताके वा बात जो थारे मुँह तै लिकड़ै सै वा सुणण आळा नै उत्साहित कर सकै।
30 [God has given you his] Spirit (to confirm/to assure you) that some day [God will claim all] you people [whom Christ has] redeemed [MET], [just like people confirm that something belongs to them by] putting their seal on it. So do not cause God’s Holy Spirit to be sad ([by the way you talk/by the things that you say]).
परमेसवर के पवित्र आत्मा नै दुखी ना करो, जो उसनै थारे ताहीं दिया सै, जो पक्का छुटकारै कै दिन थमनै बचा सकै सै।
31 Do not be resentful at all towards others. Do not become angry in any way. Never shout abusively at others. Never (slander/say bad things about) others. Never act maliciously/be mean in any way.
इस करकै सारी ढाळ की कड़वाहट, प्रकोप, गुस्सा, झगड़ा, अर बुराई, सारे बैरभाव नै अपणी जिन्दगी तै लिकाड़ द्यो।
32 Be kind to one another. Act mercifully toward each other. Forgive each other, just like God forgave you because of [what] Christ [has done].
एक-दुसरे पै दयालु अर करुणामय हो, अर जिसा परमेसवर नै मसीह म्ह थारे कसूर माफ करे, उस्से तरियां थम भी एक-दुसरे के कसूर माफ करो।
