Uafisawa 4
1 Bara nanin meng fa, nafo kucin ncikilari ndin fo minu nachara, sun ucin imusun nllenge na yicila munu.
As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:
2 Nin toltinu liti ichang, Ayi ashew, iseru anit vat nin suu.
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3 Suing ille imon na iba suu vat inan iso ligawe nan nya nbolu Kutellẹ nin lisosin limang.
and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
4 Kidowo kirum, duku, infip milau mirum, nafo na iwa yicilla munu nin likara kibineyi nin tikibineyi nyicilu.
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
5 Tidin cikilariuwa rum, uyinnu sa uyenu urum, usul sunu ulau urum,
one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 Kutellẹ kurum uchifing nvat, ame ulle na adi kitene vat, nan nya nvat a imon vat.
one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7 Ina ni kogha ku nan nya bite, udu diu gbardang nafo na Kristi na guchu.
Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Nafo na uliru Kutellẹ na belling, kubi ko na awa ghana kitene kani, apizira ligozin nancin na idi nanya licin asuu anit mafilzunu filzunu.
This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
9 Ulle ullire pa, “Awa ghana kitene kani,” din nnufi nworu, se akuru a pira nan nya nchachom kutina?
What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
10 Ame ullenge na ana tolu nchanchom kitin amere ullenge na anakuru aghana kitene nitene anan kullo imon vat.
He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
11 Yisa wasu nafilzinu filzinu fone: among nono kadura, anan nliru nin nnu Kutellẹ, anan nuchu nbellin uliru Kutellẹ, anan libiya, nin nan dursuzu.
And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
12 Bara inan kulo nanin nin nimon katah Kutellẹ bara kye kidowon Kristi.
to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
13 Udu kubi ko na tima se umunu nati nan nya nyinnu sa uyenu nin yina ngonoo Kutellẹ. Tiduru likulung nnit nafo allenge ikuno nin yiru ngono Kutellẹ.
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.
14 Udina ni natiwa libuung lisosin nafo nono. Allenge na ufunu din killu kiti nu ghinu anan yiru nbellu nliru nwultunu kiti.
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.
15 Tima bellu kidegen nan nya nsuu me, tinau kuno nan nya mme na amere liteh, amere Kristi.
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
16 Ulle na nidowe nanan ndortine dofin kitine vat, nidowo mine munno tafat nan nati, naffo na kokome kubiri na ina fuloghe katane nan nya kitin nkunju kidowo, bare ukye nanit vat nan nya nsu.
From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.
17 Bara nanere imon ille nan belling munu, indin dursu minu nan nya ncikilari: na iwaa lawan ncine nafo awurme ba nan nya katah mine kalan.
So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
18 Anan kpilizu nan nya nsirti. Alle na ina ina nutun nanin nan nya nlai kutellẹ bara utani ulle na udin nan nya mine nin gbas nibineyi mine.
They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.
19 Alle na itah gbas inani nnapka ati mine nan nya nimon izenzen nan nya nsuu nimon vat bara litime.
Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more.
20 Na nanere ina piziru uyinnu mbellen nKristi ba.
But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
21 Andi ina lanza ikuru idursuzo minu ubelleng ise, nafo na kidegen di nan nya nKristi.
Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
22 Sa iyinin sa inari kalan unit ukuse ullenge na udi nin lidu likuse, na idin kpilzinu unanuzu nanya nrusuzu kiti nin suu liti.
to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
23 Bara inan so apese nan nya nfulu ulau nibineye mine.
to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
24 Shonon unit upese, ullenge na Kutellẹ. Nakye ghe libo nfiu Kutellẹ nin lau kidegen.
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Bara nani, sunan kinu belleng atti kidigen, arik tigap kidowo kirumari.
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
26 Assa ayi nnana munu na iwa ti kulapi ba, “Na iwa yinin uwui diu a iyita nin tinana naye ba.”
“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
27 Bara iwa ni shitan ku kiti.
and do not give the devil a foothold.
28 Ullenge na adin suu likiri na awa kura asuu likire ba, nani na asuu katah katah kacine nin nachara me, anan se abuno unan diru.
He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.
29 Na uliru unanza nwa nuchu tinu mine ba, nworu nani, tigulang ticine to na tiba kye among alle na idin pizure, anan lanze nanse ubolu Kutellẹ.
Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.
30 Na iwa lanza ufunu alau Kutellẹ ayi ba, ullenge na ina yaci minu ninge udu lirin tuchu.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Nutunon vat ngbagbai nayi, tinan nayi tikhang, ughantizunu tiwui tinanza nin tizogo nutunong imon ine vat nin katahh kananzang.
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.
32 Suuug ayi asheu nin nati mine, nin ni beneyi ni nese, ishauza nin na lapi nati, nafo na Kutelle nan nyan nKristi na shawa nin na lapi bite sa ubizu.
Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
