Efesoon 4
1 Kanaafuu ani kan Gooftaaf jedhee hidhame, isin waamicha itti waamamtan sanaaf akka malutti akka jiraattan isin nan kadhadha.
I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, urge you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
2 Guutumaan guutuutti gad of qabaa; garraamota taʼaa; obsa qabaadhaa; jaalalaanis wal dandaʼaa.
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
3 Hidhaa nagaatiin tokkummaa Hafuuraa eeguuf carraaqaa.
being eager 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, even as you also were 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 over all, and through all, and in all.
7 Garuu akkuma safara kennaa Kiristoositti tokkoo tokkoo keenyaaf ayyaanni kennameera.
But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Messiah.
8 Kanaafuu, “Inni yommuu ol gubbaa baʼetti, boojuu boojiʼe; namootaafis kennaa kenne” jedha.
Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people."
9 Egaa, “Inni ol baʼe” jechuun isaa dhidhima lafaatti gad buʼe jechuu malee maal jechuu isaa ti?
Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 Inni gad buʼe sun isuma waan hunda guutuuf jedhee samiiwwan hundaa olitti ol baʼee dha.
He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11 Innis namoota tokko tokko ergamoota, kaan raajota, kaan lallabdoota wangeelaa, kaan immoo tiksootaa fi barsiistota taasisee kenne;
He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 waan kanas akka dhagni Kiristoos ijaaramuuf qulqulloota hojii tajaajilaatiif qopheessuuf jedhee godhe;
for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Messiah;
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 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 Messiah;
14 Egaa nu siʼachi duraa duubatti dadarbatamaa bubbee barsiisa gosa hundaatiin, haxxummaa fi jalʼina marii gowwoomsitootaatiin asii fi achi oofamaa daaʼimman hin taanu.
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 Qooda kanaa jaalalaan dhugaa dubbachaa gara isa mataa taʼe sanaatti waan hundaan ni guddanna; innis Kiristoos.
but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Messiah;
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 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 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.
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 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, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts;
19 Isaanis waan qalbiin isaanii hadoodeef hamma xuraaʼummaa gosa hundaa keessa galanitti sassattummaan guutaman.
who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 Isin garuu akkasitti Kiristoosin hin barre;
But you did not learn Messiah that way;
21 isin dhugumaan akkuma dhugaa Yesuus keessa jiru sanaatti waaʼee Kiristoos dhageessanii isumaanis barsiifamtaniirtu.
if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22 Haala jireenya keessan kan durii, eenyummaa keessan moofaa hawwii gowwoomsaa isaatiin xuraaʼe sana dhabamsiisaa;
that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
23 hafuura yaada keessaniitiinis haaromfamaa;
and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 namummaa haaraa isa qajeelummaa fi qulqullina dhugaatiin fakkeenya Waaqaatiin uumame sana uffadhaa.
and put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25 Kanaafuu waan nu hundi miseensa walii taaneef tokkoon tokkoon keessan soba of keessaa baastanii ollaa keessanitti dhugaa dubbachuu qabdu.
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
26 “Aaraa malee cubbuu hin hojjetinaa;” utuma aartanii jirtaniis aduun hin lixin;
"Be angry, but do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your anger,
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 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 Waan nama ijaaruuf gargaaru, akkuma barbaachisaa taʼettis waan warra dhaggeeffataniif ayyaana kennu malee dubbiin hamaan tokko iyyuu afaan keessanii hin baʼin.
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 Hafuura Qulqulluu Waaqaa kan guyyaa furamaatiif ittiin chaappeffamtan sana hin gaddisiisinaa.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for 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, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
32 Akkuma Waaqni karaa Kiristoosiin dhiifama isinii godhe sana, isinis dhiifama walii godhaa; walii naʼaa; garaas walii laafaa.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Messiah forgave you.
