Efesoon 4
1 Kanaafuu ani kan Gooftaaf jedhee hidhame, isin waamicha itti waamamtan sanaaf akka malutti akka jiraattan isin nan kadhadha.
Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you to walk worthily of the calling with which you are called,
2 Guutumaan guutuutti gad of qabaa; garraamota taʼaa; obsa qabaadhaa; jaalalaanis wal dandaʼaa.
with all humility and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in divine love;
3 Hidhaa nagaatiin tokkummaa Hafuuraa eeguuf carraaqaa.
endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 Akkuma yeroo waamamtanitti gara abdii tokkootti waamamtan sana, dhagna tokkoo fi Hafuura tokkotu jira;
There is one body and one Spirit, as ye indeed are called in one hope of your calling;
5 Gooftaa tokko, amantii tokkoo fi cuuphaa tokkotu jira;
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 Waaqaa fi Abbaan waan hundaa, inni waan hundaa ol taʼe, kan waan hunda keessatti hojjetuu fi kan waan hunda keessa jiru tokkichatu jira.
one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and above you all, and in all.
7 Garuu akkuma safara kennaa Kiristoositti tokkoo tokkoo keenyaaf ayyaanni kennameera.
And to each one of you grace is given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Kanaafuu, “Inni yommuu ol gubbaa baʼetti, boojuu boojiʼe; namootaafis kennaa kenne” jedha.
Therefore he says, Having ascended upon high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to the people.
9 Egaa, “Inni ol baʼe” jechuun isaa dhidhima lafaatti gad buʼe jechuu malee maal jechuu isaa ti?
But what is that which ascended, except that which descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 Inni gad buʼe sun isuma waan hunda guutuuf jedhee samiiwwan hundaa olitti ol baʼee dha.
But the one having descended and the one having ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things, is the same.
11 Innis namoota tokko tokko ergamoota, kaan raajota, kaan lallabdoota wangeelaa, kaan immoo tiksootaa fi barsiistota taasisee kenne;
And he gave some, apostles; some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 waan kanas akka dhagni Kiristoos ijaaramuuf qulqulloota hojii tajaajilaatiif qopheessuuf jedhee godhe;
unto the perfection of the saints, in the work of the ministry, in the edification of the body of Christ:
13 kunis waan hamma hundi keenya tokkummaa amantiitii fi tokkummaa Ilma Waaqaa beekuu bira geenyutti, akka guddannee sadarkaa guutama Kiristoos bira gaʼuudhaan namoota bilchaatoo taanuuf.
until we may all come into the unity of the faith, and of the perfect knowledge of the Son of God, into a perfect man, into the measure of the likeness of the fulness of Christ:
14 Egaa nu siʼachi duraa duubatti dadarbatamaa bubbee barsiisa gosa hundaatiin, haxxummaa fi jalʼina marii gowwoomsitootaatiin asii fi achi oofamaa daaʼimman hin taanu.
in order that we may be no longer infants, tossed by the waves and carried about by every wind of teaching, in the caprice of the people, in their craftiness, pursuant to their method of delusion;
15 Qooda kanaa jaalalaan dhugaa dubbachaa gara isa mataa taʼe sanaatti waan hundaan ni guddanna; innis Kiristoos.
but speaking the truth in divine love, let its grow up in him in all things, who is the head, Christ;
16 Isumaanis kutaaleen dhagnaa guutuun ribuu walitti isaan qabuun hidhamaniiru; yommuu kutaaleen dhagnaa sun hundi hojii isaanii hojjetanittis dhagni sun jaalalaan guddatee of ijaara.
from whom the whole body, being assimilated and knitted together through every joint of the supply, according to the working in each several part, makes increase of the body in the edification of itself in divine love.
17 Kanaafuu ani waan kana isinitti nan hima; maqaa Gooftaatiinis jabeessee isinitti nan dubbadha; isin siʼachi akka Namoonni Ormaa warri yaadni isaanii faayidaa hin qabne sun jiraatanitti hin jiraatinaa.
Therefore I say this, and witness in the Lord, that you no longer walk about as the Gentiles also walk about in the vanity of their mind,
18 Sababii mata jabina isaaniitiinis waan wallaalummaan isaan keessa jiruuf hubannaan isaanii dukkaneeffameera; jireenya Waaqaa keessaas baʼaniiru.
being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance being in themselves, on account of the blindness of their heart;
19 Isaanis waan qalbiin isaanii hadoodeef hamma xuraaʼummaa gosa hundaa keessa galanitti sassattummaan guutaman.
who being past feeling have given themselves up to debauchery, unto the working of all impurity with greediness.
20 Isin garuu akkasitti Kiristoosin hin barre;
But you did not so learn Christ:
21 isin dhugumaan akkuma dhugaa Yesuus keessa jiru sanaatti waaʼee Kiristoos dhageessanii isumaanis barsiifamtaniirtu.
if indeed ye have heard him, and been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 Haala jireenya keessan kan durii, eenyummaa keessan moofaa hawwii gowwoomsaa isaatiin xuraaʼe sana dhabamsiisaa;
that with reference to your former life, you are to lay aside the old man, who is corrupt in the lusts of deception;
23 hafuura yaada keessaniitiinis haaromfamaa;
and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 namummaa haaraa isa qajeelummaa fi qulqullina dhugaatiin fakkeenya Waaqaatiin uumame sana uffadhaa.
and to put on the new man, who has been created in harmony with God in the righteousness and holiness of the truth.
25 Kanaafuu waan nu hundi miseensa walii taaneef tokkoon tokkoon keessan soba of keessaa baastanii ollaa keessanitti dhugaa dubbachuu qabdu.
Therefore, having laid aside lying, speak the truth each one with his neighbors: because we are members of one another.
26 “Aaraa malee cubbuu hin hojjetinaa;” utuma aartanii jirtaniis aduun hin lixin;
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your provocation:
27 diiyaabiloosiifis carraa hin kenninaa.
neither give place to the devil.
28 Namni kanaan dura hataa ture siʼachi hin hatin; qooda kanaa akka warra rakkatan gargaaruu dandaʼuuf harkuma ofii isaatiin waan faayidaa qabu haa hojjetu.
Let the one stealing steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his own hands doing that which is good, that he may have to give to the one having need.
29 Waan nama ijaaruuf gargaaru, akkuma barbaachisaa taʼettis waan warra dhaggeeffataniif ayyaana kennu malee dubbiin hamaan tokko iyyuu afaan keessanii hin baʼin.
Let no corrupt communication go forth out of your mouth, but if anything is good unto edification of need, in order that he may give grace to those who hear.
30 Hafuura Qulqulluu Waaqaa kan guyyaa furamaatiif ittiin chaappeffamtan sana hin gaddisiisinaa.
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Hadhaaʼummaan, dheekkamsii fi aariin, wacnii fi maqaa nama balleessuun hundinuu hammina hundumaa wajjin isin irraa haa fagaatu.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and blasphemy, depart from you, with all evil.
32 Akkuma Waaqni karaa Kiristoosiin dhiifama isinii godhe sana, isinis dhiifama walii godhaa; walii naʼaa; garaas walii laafaa.
But be ye kind toward one another, merciful, forgiving one another, as indeed God in Christ forgave you.
