Efesoarrei 4
1 Othoitz eguiten drauçuet bada nic, bainaiz presoner gure Iaunean, ebil çaitezten deithu içan çareten vocationeari dagocan beçala,
I, the prisoner of the LORD, then call on you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
2 Humilitate eta emetassun gucirequin, spiritu patient batequin, elkar supportatzen duçuelaric charitatez:
with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love,
3 Arthatsu çaretelaric Spirituaren vnitatearen beguiratzera baquezco lotgarriaz.
being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace;
4 Gorputzbat da eta Spiritubat, deithu-ere içan çareten beçala çuen vocationearen sperança batetara:
one body and one Spirit, according as you were also called in one hope of your calling;
5 Iaunbat, Fedebat, Baptismobat:
one Lord, one faith, one immersion,
6 Gucién Iainco eta Aitabat, cein baita gucién gainean, eta gucién artean, eta çuetan guciotan.
one God and Father of all, who [is] over all, and through all, and in you all,
7 Baina gutaric batbederari gratia eman içan çayó Christen dohainaren neurriaren araura.
and to each one of you was given grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ,
8 Halacotz dio, Goiti iganic captiuo eraman vkan du captiuitatea, eta eman drauzte dohainac guiçoney.
for this reason, it says, “Having gone up on high He led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men.”
9 Eta igaite hura cer da, lehen lurreco parte behera hautara iautsi-ere dela baicen?
And that, He went up, what is it except that He also went down first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 Iautsi içan den hura bera da igan-ere dena ceru gucién garaira, gauça guciac bethe litzançát.
He who went down is the same who also went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things—
11 Harc bada eman ditu batzu, Apostolu içateco: eta berceac, Propheta: eta berceac, Euangelista: eta berceac, Pastor eta Doctor içateco,
and He gave some [as] apostles, and some [as] prophets, and some [as] proclaimers of good news, and some [as] shepherds and teachers,
12 Sainduén elkarganatzeagatic, ministerioaren obracotzát, Christen gorputzaren edificationetan.
to the perfecting of the holy ones, for a work of ministry, for a building up of the body of the Christ,
13 Guciac rencontra gaitezqueno fedearen, eta Iaincoaren Semearen eçagutzearen vnitatean, guiçon perfectotan, Christen adin perfecteco neurrira:
until we may all come to the unity of faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fullness of the Christ,
14 Guehiagoric haour ezgarençát balençán ebilteco, eta doctrinataco haice oroz hara huna guiçonén enganioz, eta hayén finecia cautelosqui enganagarrizcoz erabili içateco.
that we may no longer be children, being tossed by waves and being carried around by every wind of the teaching, in the cunning of men, in craftiness, to the scheming of leading astray,
15 Baina eguiari garreitzalaric charitaterequin, gucietan handi gaitecen hartan, cein baita buruä, Christ:
and [speaking] truth in love, we may increase to Him [in] all things, who is the head—the Christ;
16 Ceinetaric gorputz guciac vngui iunctaturic, eta forniduraren iunctura guciéz elkarrequin iossiric, membroetaric batbederaren neurrico indarraren araura hartzen baitu gorputzeco hacitze, bere buruären edificationetan charitatez.
from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body makes for the building up of itself in love.
17 Haur bada erraiten dut, eta Iaunaz requeritzen çaituztet, guehiagoric etzaitezten ebil berce Gentilac dabiltzan beçala berén adimenduco vanitatean,
This, then, I say, and I testify in the LORD: you are no longer to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Adimenduz ilhunduac diradelaric eta Iaincoaren vicitzetic appartatuac, hetan berén bihotzeco gogortassunetic den ignorantiaren causaz:
being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,
19 Eta sendimendu gabeturic, bere buruac abandonnatu vkan dituzté dissolutionetara, cithalqueria ororen eguitera, appetitu desordenaturequin.
who, having ceased to feel, gave themselves up to the licentiousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness;
20 Baina çuec eztuçue hala ikassi vkan Christ:
and you did not so learn the Christ,
21 Baldin behinçát hura ençun vkan baduçue, eta harçaz iracatsiac baçarete, eguiá Iesus baithan den beçala:
if [it] so be [that] you heard Him, and were taught in Him, as truth is in Jesus;
22 Ken deçaçuen leheneco conuersationeaz den becembatean guiçon çaharra, enganagarrizco guthicién araura corrumpitzen dena:
concerning the former behavior you are to put off the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit,
23 Eta arramberri çaitezten çuen adimenduco spirituan:
and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 Eta iaunz deçaçuen guiçon berria, cein Iaincoaren araura creatu içan baita iustitiatan eta eguiazco saindutassunetan.
and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.
25 Halacotz, gueçurra kenduric, minça çaiteztez eguiaz batbedera cein çuen hurcoarequin: ecen elkarren membro gara.
For this reason, putting away the lying, each speak truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another;
26 Asserre çaiteztez, eta bekaturic eztaguiçuela: iguzquia eztadila etzin çuen asserretassunaren gainean:
be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
27 Eta lekuric eztemoçuela deabruari.
neither give place to the Devil;
28 Ebaisten çuenac ezteçala guehiagoric ebats: baina aitzitic trabailla bedi on daten gauçaric eguiten duela, beharra duenari emaiteco duençát.
whoever is stealing let him no longer steal, but rather let him labor, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.
29 Hitz corrumpituric batre çuen ahotic ilki eztadila, baina cembeit bada, edificationearen vsançaco on datenic, ençuten duteney gratia eman diecençát.
Let no corrupt word go forth out of your mouth, but what is good to the necessary building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;
30 Eta ezteçaçuela contrista Iaincoaren Spiritu saindua, ceinez ciguilatuac baitzarete redemptioneco egunecotzát.
and do not make the Holy Spirit of God sorrowful, in which you were sealed to [the] day of redemption.
31 Samindura eta colera, eta hira, eta oihu, eta gaitzerraite gucia çuetaric ken bedi, malitia gucirequin.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice,
32 Baina çareten elkargana benigno, misericordioso eta elkarri barkaçale, Iaincoac Christez barkatu vkan drauçuen beçala.
and become kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as God also forgave you in Christ.
