Ephesus 4
1 Ke ma inge, nga su sie mwet presin ke sripen nga kulansupu Leum, nga kwafe nu suwos tuh kowos in moulkin ouiyen moul ma fal nu ke srikasrak se ma God El oakiya ke El pangon kowos.
I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, urge you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
2 Kowos in pusisel, efal, ac mongfisrasr pacl nukewa. Akkalemye lungse lowos nu sin sie sin sie ke muteng.
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
3 Kowos in moniyuk in karingin inse sefanna su Ngun el asot nu suwos, ke misla se su kaprikowosi nu sie.
being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 Oasr mano sefanna ac Ngun sefanna, oana ke oasr finsrak sefanna su God El pangon kowos nu kac.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
5 Oasr Leum sefanna, lulalfongi sefanna, ac baptais sefanna;
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 oasr God sefanna, su Papa tumun mwet nukewa, ac su leumi ma nukewa, ac El orekma in ma nukewa ac muta in ma nukewa.
one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
7 Kais sie sesr eis tari mwe sang ke lungkulang, fal nu ke ma Christ el ase nu sesr.
But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk: “El utyak nu yen fulatlana, El us mwet sruoh puspis welul, El asang mwe sang nu sin mwet uh.”
Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people."
9 Na mea kalmen “El utyak”? Kalmac pa el oatui meet nu yen loallana lun faclu.
Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 Ouinge el su oatui, el pacna pa utyak nu yen fulatlana inkusrao, tuh el fah ku in oasr yen nukewa.
He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11 El pacna pa “asang mwe sang nu sin mwet uh” — el sang nu sin kutu tuh elos in mwet sap, ac kutu in mwet palu, ac kutu in mwet sulkakinelik Pweng Wo, ac kutu in mwet sropo ac mwet luti.
He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 El oru ma inge in akoela mwet lun God nukewa nu ke orekma lun mwet Christian in musaeak monin Christ.
for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;
13 Ouinge kut nukewa fah ma sefannala in lulalfongi ac in etauk lasr ke Wen nutin God. Kut kwafe kut in sun moul in mwet pwaye, ac kut oayapa akwot in sun fulatan woiyen moul su oan in Christ.
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 Na kut fah tia sifil moul in tulik, ikwot ikme ke noa ac eng uh, oana elos su srifeyuk ke mwe luti lun mwet kutasrik su kiapwelos ac kololosla nu ke moul tafongla.
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 A ke kut fahkak ma pwaye in ngun lun lungse, kut in kapkapak in ouiya nukewa lun Christ, su sifa.
but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;
16 Ye karinginyuk lal, kain in lah nukewa ke mano kupasreni wo, ac mano nufon sac fah sruokyukeni ke kais sie kupasr kac. Ouinge, ke kais sie lahn mano el oru ma kunal in fal, na mano nufon sac kapkapak ac musaiyukyak ke lungse.
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 Ke ma inge nga sensenkakin kowos inen Leum: kowos in tia sifil moul oana mwet pegan, su wangin sripen nunak lalos
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 ac nunkalos lohsrla. Ke sripen lalfon ac likkeke lalos, wangin ip lalos ke moul su God El ase.
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 Wangin pulakinyen mwekin selos; elos sifacna eisalosyang nu ke lung lun ikwa, ac oru ma fohkfok nukewa ac kofla sifacna tulokinya.
who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 Tia pa ingan ma kowos luti ke Christ!
But you did not learn Christ that way;
21 Kowos lohng na pwaye kacl, ac ke kowos mwet lulalfongi in el, lutiyuk kowos tari ke ma pwaye lun Jesus.
if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22 Ouinge kowos in sisla ouiyen moul matu lowos ma kowos moulkin in pacl meet — moul se su kunauskowosla ke sripen kena lowos nu ke ma kikiap.
that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
23 Insiowos ac nunkowos enenu in arulana aksasuyeyukla,
and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 ac kowos enenu in nokomang mwet sasu, su orekla in luman God, ac su fwackyuk in moul pwaye, su suwoswos ac mutal.
and put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25 Ke ma inge kowos in tia sifil kikiap! Kais sie mwet enenu in kaskas pwaye nu sin mwet wialos in lulalfongi, mweyen kut nukewa lahn sie sin sie in Christ.
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
26 Kowos fin mulat, nik kowos lela mulat lowos in kolkowosla nu ke ma koluk, ac kowos in tia sruokya mulat lowos len fon se.
"Be angry, but do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your anger,
27 Nikmet sang pacl lun devil.
neither give place to the devil.
28 El su pisrapasr meet el enenu elan tia sifil pusr, a elan orekma tuh elan akfalye enenu lal sifacna, ac elan ku pac in kasru mwet sukasrup.
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 Nikmet orekmakin kas in akkolukye mwet, a kas in kasru mukena — kain in kas ma ac musaeak ac su fal nu ke enenu, tuh ma kowos fahk uh ac fah akwoyalos su lohng.
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 Ac nikmet aktoasrye Ngun lun God; tuh Ngun el mwe akul lun God keiwos in akpwayeye lah Len sac ac fah tuku ke God El ac fah aksukosokyekowosla.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Sisla liki kowos lumah inge nukewa: sulung, mongsa, kasrkusrak, wowon, wenteisr, ac kutena nunak koluk lain mwet.
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
32 A kowos in kulang ac mongfisrasr nu sin sie sin sie, ac kowos in nunak munas nu sin sie sin sie, oana ke God El nunak munas nu suwos ke Christ.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
