Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation by which ye are called,
Saboda haka a matsayi na na dan sarka saboda Ubangiji; ina rokon ku ku yi zaman rayuwa da ta cancanci kiran da Allah ya kiraye ku.
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love;
Ku zamna da matukar tawali'u da sahihanci da hakuri. Ku karbi juna cikin kauna.
3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ku yi kokarin zaman dayantaka cikin Ruhu kuna hade cikin salama.
4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Akwai jiki daya da kuma Ruhu daya, kamar yadda aka kira ku a kan begen nan daya.
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Ubangiji daya, bangaskiya daya, da kuma baftisma daya.
6 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.
Allah daya ne da Uban duka. Shine bisa duka, ta wurin duka, da kuma cikin duka.
7 But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ko wannenmu an ba shi baiwa bisa ga awon baiwar Almasihu.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.
Kamar yadda nassi ya ce, “Da ya haye zuwa cikin sama, ya bi da bayi cikin bauta. Ya kuma yi wa mutane baye baye.
9 Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Menene ma'anar, “Ya hau?” Ana cewa kenan ya sauka har cikin zurfin kasa.
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.
Shi da ya sauka shine kuma wanda ya hau birbishin sammai. Ya yi wannan domin ya cika dukan abubuwa.
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Almasihu ya ba da baye baye kamar haka: manzanni, annabawa, masu shelar bishara, makiyaya, da masu koyarwa.
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Ya yi haka domin ya shiryar da masu bi saboda hidima, domin gina jikin Almasihu.
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
Ya yi haka har sai mun kai dayantakar bangaskiya da sanin Dan Allah. Ya yi haka har sai mun kai ga manyanta, kamar wadanda suka kai cikakken matsayin nan na falalar Almasihu.
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, by which they lie in wait to deceive:
Wannan ya zamanto haka domin kada mu kara zama kamar yara. Kada a yi ta juya mu. Wannan haka yake domin kada mu biye wa iskar kowacce koyarwa ta makirci da wayon mutane masu hikimar yin karya.
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, [even] Christ:
Maimakon haka za mu fadi gaskiya cikin kauna domin mu yi girma cikin dukan tafarkun da ke na sa, shi da yake shugaba, Almasihu.
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 to the edifying of itself in love.
Almsihu ya hada dukan jikin masu ba da gaskiya. Jikin yana hade ta wurin kowanne gaba, domin jikin ya yi girma ya gina kansa cikin kauna.
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,
Saboda haka ina yi maku gargadi cikin Ubangiji cewa, kada ku sake yin rayuwa irin ta al'ummai da suke yi cikin azancin wofi marar amfani.
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:
Sun duhunta cikin tunaninsu. Bare suke da rai irin na Allah, ta wurin jahilcin da ke cikinsu da ta wurin taurare zukatansu.
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Basa jin kunya. Sun mika kansu ga mutumtaka ta yin kazamtattun ayyuka da kowacce zari.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
Amma ba haka kuka koyi al'amuran Almasihu ba.
21 If indeed ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Ina zaton kun rigaya kun ji a kansa. Ina zaton an koyar da ku cikinsa, kamar yadda gaskiyar Yesu ta ke.
22 That ye put off concerning the former manner of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts:
Dole ku yarda halin ku na da, wato tsohon mutum. Tsohon mutumin ne ya ke lalacewa ta wurin mugun buri.
23 And be renewed in the Spirit of your mind;
Ku yarda tsohon mutum domin a sabonta ku cikin ruhun lamirinku.
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ku yi haka domin ku yafa sabon mutum, mai kamanin Allah. An hallitta shi cikin adalci da tsarki da gaskiya.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
Saboda haka ku watsar da karya. “Fadi gaskiya ga makwabcin ka”, domin mu gabobin juna ne.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
“Ku yi fushi, amma kada ku yi zunubi.” Kada ku bari rana ta fadi kuna kan fushi.
27 Neither give place to the devil.
Kada ku ba shaidan wata kofa.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Duk mai yin sata, kada ya kara yin sata kuma. Maimakon haka, ya yi aiki. Ya yi aiki da hannuwan sa domin ya sami abin da zai taimaka wa gajiyayyu.
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 to the hearers.
Kada rubabbun maganganu su fito daga cikin bakinku. Maimakon haka, sai ingantattu da za su ba da alheri ga masu ji.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed to the day of redemption.
Kada ku bata wa Ruhu Mai Tsarki na Allah rai domin ta wurin sa ne aka hatimce ku domin ranar fansa.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Sai ku watsar da dukan dacin rai, da hasala, da fushi, da tankiya, da reni tare da dukan mugunta.
32 And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Ku yi wa juna kirki, ku zama da taushin zuciya. Ku yafe wa juna, kamar yadda Allah cikin Almasihu ya gafarta maku.
