اِپھِشِنَح 4

1 اَتو بَنْدِرَہَں پْرَبھو رْنامْنا یُشْمانْ وِنَیے یُویَں ییناہْوانیناہُوتاسْتَدُپَیُکْتَرُوپینَ

I, therefore, as the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk worthily of the calling by which you were called.

2 سَرْوَّتھا نَمْرَتاں مرِدُتاں تِتِکْشاں پَرَسْپَرَں پْرَمْنا سَہِشْنُتانْچاچَرَتَ۔

I urge you to live with great humility and gentleness and patience, putting up with one another in love.

3 پْرَنَیَبَنْدھَنینَ چاتْمَنَ اےکْیَں رَکْشِتُں یَتَدھْوَں۔

Do your best to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 یُویَمْ ایکَشَرِیرا ایکاتْمانَشْچَ تَدْوَدْ آہْوانینَ یُویَمْ ایکَپْرَتْیاشاپْراپْتَیے سَماہُوتاح۔

There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one certain hope of your calling.

5 یُشْماکَمْ ایکَح پْرَبھُریکو وِشْواسَ ایکَں مَجَّنَں، سَرْوّیشاں تاتَح

And there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 سَرْوّوپَرِسْتھَح سَرْوَّوْیاپِی سَرْوّیشاں یُشْماکَں مَدھْیَوَرْتِّی چَیکَ اِیشْوَرَ آسْتے۔

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

7 کِنْتُ کھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ دانَپَرِمانانُسارادْ اَسْماکَمْ ایکَیکَسْمَے وِشیشو وَرودایِ۔

To each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 یَتھا لِکھِتَمْ آسْتے، "اُورْدّھوَمْ آرُہْیَ جیترِنْ سَ وِجِتْیَ بَنْدِنوکَروتْ۔ تَتَح سَ مَنُجیبھْیوپِ سْوِییانْ وْیَشْرانَیَدْ وَرانْ۔۔ "

It is as scripture says: “When he ascended to the heights, he led the captives into captivity, and he gave gifts to the people.”

9 اُورْدّھوَمْ آرُہْییتِواکْیَسْیایَمَرْتھَح سَ پُورْوَّں پرِتھِوِیرُوپَں سَرْوّادھَحسْتھِتَں سْتھانَمْ اَوَتِیرْنَوانْ؛

What is the meaning of “He ascended,” except that he also descended into the lower regions of the earth?

10 یَشْچاوَتِیرْنَوانْ سَ ایوَ سْوَرْگانامْ اُپَرْیُّپَرْیّارُوڈھَوانْ یَتَح سَرْوّانِ تینَ پُورَیِتَوْیانِ۔

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

11 سَ ایوَ چَ کاںشْچَنَ پْریرِتانْ اَپَرانْ بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنوپَرانْ سُسَںوادَپْرَچارَکانْ اَپَرانْ پالَکانْ اُپَدیشَکاںشْچَ نِیُکْتَوانْ۔

Christ gave some to be apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers.

12 یاوَدْ وَیَں سَرْوّے وِشْواسَسْییشْوَرَپُتْرَوِشَیَکَسْیَ تَتّوَجْنانَسْیَ چَیکْیَں سَمْپُورْنَں پُرُشَرْتھَنْچارْتھَتَح کھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ سَمْپُورْنَپَرِمانَسْیَ سَمَں پَرِمانَں نَ پْراپْنُمَسْتاوَتْ

He gave these offices to equip the saints for the work of service, for the building up of the body of Christ.

13 سَ پَرِچَرْیّاکَرْمَّسادھَنایَ کھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ شَرِیرَسْیَ نِشْٹھایَے چَ پَوِتْرَلوکاناں سِدّھَتایاسْتادرِشَمْ اُپایَں نِشْچِتَوانْ۔

He continues to build up his body until we all reach the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, and that we become mature and so reach the measure of the fullness of Christ.

14 اَتَایوَ مانُشاناں چاتُرِیتو بھْرَمَکَدھُورْتَّتایاشْچھَلاچَّ جاتینَ سَرْوّینَ شِکْشاوایُنا وَیَں یَدْ بالَکا اِوَ دولایَمانا نَ بھْرامْیامَ اِتْیَسْمابھِ رْیَتِتَوْیَں،

Christ builds us up so that we should no longer be children who are tossed back and forth by the waves, and carried away by every wind of teaching and by the trickery of people in their deceitful schemes.

15 پْریمْنا سَتْیَتامْ آچَرَدْبھِح سَرْوَّوِشَیے کھْرِیشْٹَمْ اُدِّشْیَ وَرْدّھِتَوْیَنْچَ، یَتَح سَ مُورْدّھا،

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, that is, Christ.

16 تَسْماچَّیکَیکَسْیانْگَسْیَ سْوَسْوَپَرِمانانُسارینَ ساہایَّکَرَنادْ اُپَکارَکَیح سَرْوَّیح سَنْدھِبھِح کرِتْسْنَسْیَ شَرِیرَسْیَ سَںیوگے سَمِّلَنے چَ جاتے پْریمْنا نِشْٹھاں لَبھَمانَں کرِتْسْنَں شَرِیرَں ورِدّھِں پْراپْنوتِ۔

Christ builds the whole body, and it is joined and held together by every supporting ligament, and when each part works together, that makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

17 یُشْمانْ اَہَں پْرَبھُنیدَں بْرَوِیمْیادِشامِ چَ، اَنْیے بھِنَّجاتِییا اِوَ یُویَں پُونَ رْماچَرَتَ۔

Therefore, I say and insist on this in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds.

18 یَتَسْتے سْوَمَنومایامْ آچَرَنْتْیانْتَرِکاجْناناتْ مانَسِکَکاٹھِنْیاچَّ تِمِراورِتَبُدّھَیَ اِیشْوَرِییَجِیوَنَسْیَ بَگِیرْبھُوتاشْچَ بھَوَنْتِ،

They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their hearts.

19 سْوانْ چَیتَنْیَشُونْیانْ کرِتْوا چَ لوبھینَ سَرْوَّوِدھاشَوچاچَرَنایَ لَمْپَٹَتایاں سْوانْ سَمَرْپِتَوَنْتَح۔

They have no shame and have handed themselves over to sensuality, and they are continually practicing every kind of impurity.

20 کِنْتُ یُویَں کھْرِیشْٹَں نَ تادرِشَں پَرِچِتَوَنْتَح،

But that is not how you learned about Christ.

21 یَتو یُویَں تَں شْرُتَوَنْتو یا سَتْیا شِکْشا یِیشُتو لَبھْیا تَدَنُساراتْ تَدِییوپَدیشَں پْراپْتَوَنْتَشْچیتِ مَنْیے۔

I assume that you have heard about him, and that you were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.

22 تَسْماتْ پُورْوَّکالِکاچارَکارِی یَح پُراتَنَپُرُشو مایابھِلاشَے رْنَشْیَتِ تَں تْیَکْتْوا یُشْمابھِ رْمانَسِکَبھاوو نُوتَنِیکَرْتَّوْیَح،

You were taught to put off what belongs to your former manner of life, to put off the old man. It is the old man that is corrupt because of its deceitful desires.

23 یو نَوَپُرُشَ اِیشْوَرانُرُوپینَ پُنْیینَ سَتْیَتاسَہِتینَ

You were taught to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

24 دھارْمِّکَتْوینَ چَ سرِشْٹَح سَ ایوَ پَرِدھاتَوْیَشْچَ۔

and to put on the new man that is created in the image of God—in true righteousness and holiness.

25 اَتو یُویَں سَرْوّے مِتھْیاکَتھَنَں پَرِتْیَجْیَ سَمِیپَواسِبھِح سَہَ سَتْیالاپَں کُرُتَ یَتو وَیَں پَرَسْپَرَمْ اَنْگَپْرَتْیَنْگا بھَوامَح۔

Therefore, get rid of lies, and let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.

26 اَپَرَں کْرودھے جاتے پاپَں ما کُرُدھْوَمْ، اَشانْتے یُشْماکَں روشیسُورْیّوسْتَں نَ گَچّھَتُ۔

Be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your anger.

27 اَپَرَں شَیَتانے سْتھانَں ما دَتَّ۔

Do not give an opportunity to the devil.

28 چورَح پُنَشْچَیرْیَّں نَ کَروتُ کِنْتُ دِینایَ دانے سامَرْتھْیَں یَجّایَتے تَدَرْتھَں سْوَکَرابھْیاں سَدْورِتّیا پَرِشْرَمَں کَروتُ۔

The one who had been stealing must steal no longer. He must labor, doing useful work with his hands, so that he may have something to share with those who are in need.

29 اَپَرَں یُشْماکَں وَدَنیبھْیَح کوپِ کَدالاپو نَ نِرْگَچّھَتُ، کِنْتُ یینَ شْروتُرُپَکارو جایَتے تادرِشَح پْرَیوجَنِییَنِشْٹھایَے پھَلَدایَکَ آلاپو یُشْماکَں بھَوَتُ۔

Do not let any filthy talk come out of your mouth. Use only words that are helpful for building others up, according to their needs, that your words would be helpful to those who hear you.

30 اَپَرَنْچَ یُویَں مُکْتِدِنَپَرْیَّنْتَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ یینَ پَوِتْریناتْمَنا مُدْرَیانْکِتا اَبھَوَتَ تَں شوکانْوِتَں ما کُرُتَ۔

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, for it is by him that you were sealed for the day of redemption.

31 اَپَرَں کَٹُواکْیَں روشَح کوشَح کَلَہو نِنْدا سَرْوَّوِدھَدْویشَشْچَیتانِ یُشْماکَں مَدھْیادْ دُورِیبھَوَنْتُ۔

Put away all bitterness, rage, anger, quarreling, and insults, along with every kind of evil.

32 یُویَں پَرَسْپَرَں ہِتَیشِنَح کومَلانْتَحکَرَناشْچَ بھَوَتَ۔ اَپَرَمْ اِیشْوَرَح کھْرِیشْٹینَ یَدْوَدْ یُشْماکَں دوشانْ کْشَمِتَوانْ تَدْوَدْ یُویَمَپِ پَرَسْپَرَں کْشَمَدھْوَں۔

Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.
