Ephesians 4
1 I, therefore, as the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk worthily of the calling by which you were called.
Ngarud, kas ti balud para iti Apo, guyuguyenkayo nga agbiag a maikari iti ayab a nangayaban ti Dios kadakayo.
2 I urge you to live with great humility and gentleness and patience, putting up with one another in love.
Agbiagkayo nga addaan iti naindaklan a kinapakumbaba ken kinaemma ken kinaanus. Awatenyo iti tunggal maysa iti ayat.
3 Do your best to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Aramidenyo ti amin a kabaelanyo a mangpatalinyaed iti panagkaykaysa ti Espiritu gapu ta daytoy ti mangted ti kapia kadakayo.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one certain hope of your calling.
Adda maysa a bagi, ken maysa nga Espiritu, kas met laeng kadakayo a naayaban iti maysa a mapagtalkan a namnama iti pannakaayabyo.
5 And there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Ken adda maysa nga Apo, maysa a pammati, maysa a pannakabautisar,
6 and one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
ken maysa a Dios ken Ama iti amin. Kangatoan isuna iti amin ken babaen iti amin ken iti amin.
7 To each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ti tunggal maysa kadatayo ket naikkan iti sagut a maiyannurot iti rukod ti sagut ni Cristo.
8 It is as scripture says: “When he ascended to the heights, he led the captives into captivity, and he gave gifts to the people.”
Kas kinuna ti Nasantoan a Surat: “Idi immuli isuna iti kangatoan, indauloanna dagiti balud iti pagbaludan. Nangted isuna iti sagsagut kadagiti tattao.”
9 What is the meaning of “He ascended,” except that he also descended into the lower regions of the earth?
Ania ti kayat a sawen ti, “Immuli isuna”, malaksid a bimmaba met laeng isuna iti kaunggan ti daga?
10 He who descended is the same person who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Ti bimmaba ket isu met laeng ti tao nga immuli iti ngatoen dagiti amin a langit. Inaramidna daytoy tapno mapnona dagiti amin a banbanag.
11 Christ gave some to be apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers.
Nangted ni Cristo kadagiti sagsagut a kas kadagitoy: dagiti apostol, dagiti profeta, dagiti ebanghelista, dagiti pastor ken dagiti manursuro.
12 He gave these offices to equip the saints for the work of service, for the building up of the body of Christ.
Inaramidna daytoy tapno ikkanna ti kabaelan dagiti namati para iti trabaho ti panagserbi, para iti pannakabangon ti bagi ni Cristo.
13 He continues to build up his body until we all reach the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, and that we become mature and so reach the measure of the fullness of Christ.
Ar-aramidenna daytoy agingga a madanontayo amin ti panagmaymaysa iti pammati ken pannakaammo iti Anak ti Dios. Ar-aramidenna daytoy agingga nga agbalintayo a nataengan a kas kadagiti nakadanon iti naan-annay a panangrukod ni Cristo.
14 Christ builds us up so that we should no longer be children who are tossed back and forth by the waves, and carried away by every wind of teaching and by the trickery of people in their deceitful schemes.
Daytoy ket tapno saantayo koman a kas kadagiti ubbing. Daytoy ket tapno saantayo koman a maipalla-palladaw. Daytoy ket tapno saantayo koman a maitayab iti tunggal angin ti sursuro, babaen iti kinasikap dagiti tattao iti kinagaramugam ti panangallilaw.
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Ngem ketdi, ibagatayonto ti kinapudno iti ayat ken dumakkeltayo kadagiti amin a wagas kenkuana nga isu ti ulo, ni Cristo.
16 Christ builds the whole body, and it is joined and held together by every supporting ligament, and when each part works together, that makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
Pinagtitipon ni Cristo ti entero a bagi dagiti namati. Nagkakamangda babaen ti tunggal agtitinnulong a susuop tapno dumakkel ti entero a bagi ken pabilgenna ti bagina iti ayat.
17 Therefore, I say and insist on this in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds.
Ibagak ngarud daytoy, ken bagbagaankayo iti Apo: saankayon a magna a kas iti pannagna dagiti Hentil iti kinaawan serbi dagiti panunotda.
18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their hearts.
Napasipnget ti nakemda. Naiyadayoda manipud ti biag iti Dios babaen iti kinakuneng nga adda kadakuada gapu iti kinatangken dagiti puspusoda.
19 They have no shame and have handed themselves over to sensuality, and they are continually practicing every kind of impurity.
Awan ti mariknada a bain. Inyawatda dagiti bagbagida iti pannakailumlom kadagiti narugit nga aramid, kadagiti amin a kita ti kinaagum.
20 But that is not how you learned about Christ.
Ngem saan a kastoy ti naadalyo maipanggep kenni Cristo.
21 I assume that you have heard about him, and that you were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.
Ammok a nangngegyon ti maipanggep kenkuana. Ammok a nasuroankayon iti maipanggep kenkuana, kas ti kinapudno ket adda ken Jesus.
22 You were taught to put off what belongs to your former manner of life, to put off the old man. It is the old man that is corrupt because of its deceitful desires.
Masapul nga ikkatenyo ti maiyannurot iti daan a tignayyo, ti daan a tao. Ti daan a tao a madaddadael gapu iti manangallilaw a tartarigagay.
23 You were taught to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
Iwaksiyo ti daan a kinataoyo tapno mapabarokayo iti espiritu ti panunotyo.
24 and to put on the new man that is created in the image of God—in true righteousness and holiness.
Aramidenyo dayto tapno maikabilyo ti baro a kinatao, a maiyannurot iti Dios. Naaramid daytoy iti kinalinteg ken iti kinasanto ti kinapudno.
25 Therefore, get rid of lies, and let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
Ngarud ikkatenyo ti kinaulbod. “Agsaokayo iti kinapudno, tunggal maysa iti kaarubana,” gapu ta pasettayon iti tunggal maysa.
26 Be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your anger.
“Agungetkayo, ngem saankayo nga agbasol.” Saanyo nga itulok a lumnek ti init nga adda pay laeng ungetyo.
27 Do not give an opportunity to the devil.
Saanyo nga ikkan iti lugar ti diablo.
28 The one who had been stealing must steal no longer. He must labor, doing useful work with his hands, so that he may have something to share with those who are in need.
Siasinoman nga agtaktakaw ket masapul a saanen nga agtakaw. Ngem ketdi, masapul nga agtrabaho isuna. Masapul nga agtrabaho isuna nga usarenna ti imana, tapno mabaelanna ti mangibingay iti tao nga agkasapulan.
29 Do not let any filthy talk come out of your mouth. Use only words that are helpful for building others up, according to their needs, that your words would be helpful to those who hear you.
Awan koma ti dakes a sasao a rummuar iti ngiwatyo. Ngem ketdi, masapul a rummuar dagiti sasao a maaramat iti pannakasabet dagiti kasapulanda, tapno makaited iti pagsayaatan kadagiti siasinoman a dumdumngeg.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, for it is by him that you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Ken saanyo a pagladingiten ti Espiritu Santo ti Dios. Babaen kenkuana a naselioankayo para iti aldaw ti pannakasubbot.
31 Put away all bitterness, rage, anger, quarreling, and insults, along with every kind of evil.
Masapul nga iwaksiyo amin kinasaem, pungtot, unget, panagaapa, ken pananglalais, agraman dagiti amin a kita ti kinadakes.
32 Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.
Agbalinkayo a naimbag iti tunggal maysa. Nalukneng koma ti pusoyo. Pakawanenyo ti tunggal maysa, a kas pinakawannakayo ti Dios ken Cristo.
