Ephesians 4

1 Etu nimite ami Isor laga bondhi ghor te thaka manu, apnikhan ke utsah kori ase juntu kaam kori bole apnikhan ke matise utu thik pora kori kene berabi,

I therefore, a prisoner for the sake of the Lord, exhort you to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all humility and meekness;

2 nomro aru norom hoi kene, dhorjo kori kene, ekjon-ekjon ke morom te thakibi,

and with long-suffering forbear one another in love,

3 shanti pora Atma bhitor te ekta hoi kene thaki bole kosis koribi.

endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace: for there is but one body and one Spirit,

4 Ekjon he gaw ase, aru ekjon Pobitro Atma ase, jineka apnikhan ke ekta bhabona kori kene mati sele,

even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 ekjon Isor, ekta biswas, ekta baptizma,

one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 Ekjon Isor aru sob laga Baba, jun sob laga uporte ase, aru sob pora ase, aru sob bhitor te ase.

one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all.

7 Etiya amikhan sobke anugrah dikene ase Khrista laga inam laga ujon hisab te.

But grace is given to each of us, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 Etu nimite tai koise: “Jitia tai uporte uthise, Tai dhuri kene thaka khan ke dhuri kene loi jaise, Aru manu khan ke inam khan dise.”

Wherefore it is said, "When he ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."

9 To etu laga motlob to ki ase “Khrista uthise,” hoilebi tai prithibi laga sob pora niche bhag te bhi jaise?

Now this expression "He ascended" what does it mean, but that He descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 Tai jun nichete jaise utu tai he ase jun sob sorgo khan pora bisi uporte bhi uthise, titia Tai sob jinis khan ke bhorta kori bole paribo.

He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.

11 Aru Khrista pora kunba ke apostle, kunba ke bhabobadi, kunba ke procharok, aru kunba ke palok aru hikhok kori bole dise,

And therefore He gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers; to qualify holy men for the work of the ministry,

12 pobitro manu khan ke thik kori bole nimite, mantri khan laga kaam khan aru Khrista laga gaw ke hikai dibole nimite,

to the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Isor laga chokra laga gyaan te ekta biswas te napuncha tak, ekta pura aru thik manu hobo nimite, pura Khrista nisena,

till we all arrive in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at perfect maturity, even to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

14 titia amikhan aru bacha nisena nahobo, age piche nahilibo, niyom laga sob hawa te loi najabo, manu khan laga thoga baji te, aru chalak kaam khan te nagiribo.

That we may be no longer children fluctuating and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the artful insinuations of men, and their crafty methods of deceiving;

15 Kintu morom pora hosa kotha kobo, aru sob jinis te uthibo, Tai logote jun matha ase, Khrista nijor,

but holding the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him, who is the head, even Christ:

16 Jun pora pura gaw thik pora mili kene ekta hoijai, aru bhag sob pora nijor kaam kori kene ekta bhag logote ekta bhag mili jai, etu pora gaw ke hikai, nijor pora morom te bonai uthibole.

from whom the whole body being fitly joined together and compacted by the aid of every joint, according to the operation proportioned to every part, maketh an increase to the edification of itself in love.

17 Etu nimite ami koi ase, aru Probhu naam te utsah di ase, etiya pora apnikhan Porjati khan misa-misi bhabona te thakikena bera nisena na koribi.

This I say therefore, and charge you in the name of the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk,

18 Bujhi bole para takot to andhar te rakhi kene ase, aru Isor laga jibon pora alag hoi kene ase, kele koile taikhan monte buddhi nai aru Isor ke taikhan laga mon tan hoi kene thaka nimite.

in the vanity of their mind, darkened in their understanding, and alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in them, by reason of the hardness of their heart:

19 Jun khan nijor bhabona ke morai dise, aru nijorke bebichari kaam nimite cholai se, aru gaw mangso kaam te berai thakise.

who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to commit all uncleanness with greediness.

20 Hoile bhi apnikhan eneka pora Khrista laga kotha hika nai,

But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 eneka hoile apnikhan utu hobi juntu apnikhan tai laga hunise, aru Jisu pora jineka hikai se, juntu hosa to Jisu bhitor te ase.

if ye have indeed hearkened to Him, and been instructed in Him, as the truth is in Jesus; to put off the old man,

22 Titia apnikhan utu purana manu laga poila kotha khan phelai dibi, juntu misa-misi ase thoga baji laga lalchi khan ase,

which according to your former conversation was corrupted with deceitful lusts,

23 Aru apnikhan laga bhabona laga atma te notun hobi,

and be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 Aru ta te apuni khan utu notun manu hobi jun Isor laga protima ase- dharmikta aru pobitrota te.

and to put on the new man, which according to the image of God is created in righteousness, and true holiness.

25 Etu nimite misa phelai dibi, sob manu dusra manu logote hosa kotha kobi kele koile amikhan ekjon-dusra-jon laga bhag ase.

Wherefore putting away lying, speak ye every one truth to his neighbor; for we are all members of one society.

26 Apnikhan khong hobi, aru paap na koribi: apnikhan laga khong uporte din khotom hobole nadibi.

Be angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath;

27 Bhoot khan ke bhal homoi to nadibi.

and give not the devil room to ensnare you.

28 Taikhan jun khan chor kore, taikhan chor nakori jabi. Ulta, tai kaam kori bole lage, tai laga hath khan pora utu kaam khan kori bole dibi juntu bhal ase hoile bhi, titia tai dusra ke dibole paribo junke dorkar ase.

Let him that stole steal no more; but rather let him labour, doing some good with his hands, that he may have something to bestow on him that hath need of it.

29 Apnikhan laga mukh pora misa-misi kotha khan ulabole nadibi, hoile bhi juntu kotha dusra ke uthai dibole nimite bhal ase, eneka pora huni thaka khan anugrah pabo.

Let no corrupt word come out of your mouth; but what is good to useful edification, that it may benefit the hearers.

30 Aru Isor laga Pobitro Atma ke mon dukh kori bole nadibi, juntu pora apuni khan ke paap pora bachai diya laga dinte daag dise.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed to the day of redemption.

31 Sob tita khan, biya pa-a, khong, hala, aru gali diya khan apnikhan pora hatai dibi, sob biya laga bhabona khan.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and fury, and clamor, and calumny, be put away from you, with all malice: and be kind one to another,

32 Aru ekjon-ekjon ke morom koribi, norom mon rakhibi, maph koribi, jineka Isor pora Khrista dwara apnikhan ke maph korise.

tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgiveth you.
