Efeso 4
1 Ngarud, kas ti balud para iti Apo, guyuguyenkayo nga agbiag a maikari iti ayab a nangayaban ti Dios kadakayo.
I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, urge you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
2 Agbiagkayo nga addaan iti naindaklan a kinapakumbaba ken kinaemma ken kinaanus. Awatenyo iti tunggal maysa iti ayat.
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
3 Aramidenyo ti amin a kabaelanyo a mangpatalinyaed iti panagkaykaysa ti Espiritu gapu ta daytoy ti mangted ti kapia kadakayo.
being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 Adda maysa a bagi, ken maysa nga Espiritu, kas met laeng kadakayo a naayaban iti maysa a mapagtalkan a namnama iti pannakaayabyo.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
5 Ken adda maysa nga Apo, maysa a pammati, maysa a pannakabautisar,
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 ken maysa a Dios ken Ama iti amin. Kangatoan isuna iti amin ken babaen iti amin ken iti amin.
one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
7 Ti tunggal maysa kadatayo ket naikkan iti sagut a maiyannurot iti rukod ti sagut ni Cristo.
But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Kas kinuna ti Nasantoan a Surat: “Idi immuli isuna iti kangatoan, indauloanna dagiti balud iti pagbaludan. Nangted isuna iti sagsagut kadagiti tattao.”
Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people."
9 Ania ti kayat a sawen ti, “Immuli isuna”, malaksid a bimmaba met laeng isuna iti kaunggan ti daga?
Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 Ti bimmaba ket isu met laeng ti tao nga immuli iti ngatoen dagiti amin a langit. Inaramidna daytoy tapno mapnona dagiti amin a banbanag.
He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11 Nangted ni Cristo kadagiti sagsagut a kas kadagitoy: dagiti apostol, dagiti profeta, dagiti ebanghelista, dagiti pastor ken dagiti manursuro.
He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 Inaramidna daytoy tapno ikkanna ti kabaelan dagiti namati para iti trabaho ti panagserbi, para iti pannakabangon ti bagi ni Cristo.
for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;
13 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.
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;
14 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.
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;
15 Ngem ketdi, ibagatayonto ti kinapudno iti ayat ken dumakkeltayo kadagiti amin a wagas kenkuana nga isu ti ulo, ni Cristo.
but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;
16 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.
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.
17 Ibagak ngarud daytoy, ken bagbagaankayo iti Apo: saankayon a magna a kas iti pannagna dagiti Hentil iti kinaawan serbi dagiti panunotda.
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,
18 Napasipnget ti nakemda. Naiyadayoda manipud ti biag iti Dios babaen iti kinakuneng nga adda kadakuada gapu iti kinatangken dagiti puspusoda.
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;
19 Awan ti mariknada a bain. Inyawatda dagiti bagbagida iti pannakailumlom kadagiti narugit nga aramid, kadagiti amin a kita ti kinaagum.
who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 Ngem saan a kastoy ti naadalyo maipanggep kenni Cristo.
But you did not learn Christ that way;
21 Ammok a nangngegyon ti maipanggep kenkuana. Ammok a nasuroankayon iti maipanggep kenkuana, kas ti kinapudno ket adda ken Jesus.
if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22 Masapul nga ikkatenyo ti maiyannurot iti daan a tignayyo, ti daan a tao. Ti daan a tao a madaddadael gapu iti manangallilaw a tartarigagay.
that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
23 Iwaksiyo ti daan a kinataoyo tapno mapabarokayo iti espiritu ti panunotyo.
and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 Aramidenyo dayto tapno maikabilyo ti baro a kinatao, a maiyannurot iti Dios. Naaramid daytoy iti kinalinteg ken iti kinasanto ti kinapudno.
and put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25 Ngarud ikkatenyo ti kinaulbod. “Agsaokayo iti kinapudno, tunggal maysa iti kaarubana,” gapu ta pasettayon iti tunggal maysa.
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
26 “Agungetkayo, ngem saankayo nga agbasol.” Saanyo nga itulok a lumnek ti init nga adda pay laeng ungetyo.
"Be angry, but do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your anger,
27 Saanyo nga ikkan iti lugar ti diablo.
neither give place to the devil.
28 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.
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.
29 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.
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.
30 Ken saanyo a pagladingiten ti Espiritu Santo ti Dios. Babaen kenkuana a naselioankayo para iti aldaw ti pannakasubbot.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Masapul nga iwaksiyo amin kinasaem, pungtot, unget, panagaapa, ken pananglalais, agraman dagiti amin a kita ti kinadakes.
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
32 Agbalinkayo a naimbag iti tunggal maysa. Nalukneng koma ti pusoyo. Pakawanenyo ti tunggal maysa, a kas pinakawannakayo ti Dios ken Cristo.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
