< Ephesians 4 >

1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Au ulalao Lamatua ngga ue-tataon, losa au dadꞌi atahori bꞌui. De ia na, au ae kokoe nggi fo ama leo-lao no matetuꞌ tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun, huu Ana noꞌe nala nggi dadꞌi atahorin ena.
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Huu naa, hei musi misodꞌa miloe-midꞌae ralam, ma misodꞌa esa malole no esa ma esa sue esa. Musi miꞌitataaꞌ ma mihine esa no esa hihii-nanaun. Mete ma sia hei e, esa sangga hal no nonoon, na afiꞌ mimbedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ.
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Sangga dꞌala tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ fo misodꞌa esa badꞌame no esa, huu Lamatualain Dula-dꞌalen tao hei dadꞌi esa ena.
4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Huu Yesus Kristus atahori nara dadꞌi reu esa onaꞌ Eni ao hehelin ena. Ma basa se simbo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dꞌalen fo isek a. Basa se ramahena neuꞌ a Lamatualain, huu Eni mana noꞌe se dadꞌi reu atahorin.
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Hita Lamatuan, akaꞌ esaꞌ a; Hita tamahere tara, akaꞌ dalaꞌ esaꞌ a, fo bisa badꞌame to E. Ma basa hita simbo saraniꞌ, fo dadꞌi teu esa to E.
6 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.
Lamatualain, akaꞌ esaꞌ a, Ma hita Aman, akaꞌ Eni. Akaꞌ Eni mana parenda basa hita. Akaꞌ Eni mana naꞌabꞌue no basa hita. Ma akaꞌ Eni mana nasodꞌa nakandoo sia basa hita ralan.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Yesus Kristus bꞌanggi koasan fee neu hita ena, fo hita esa-esaꞌ talalao Eni ue-tataon.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Naa de Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren nae, “Ana hene nisiꞌ mamana naruꞌ, fo natati sia naa losa nasenggiꞌ. Basa fo, no baliꞌ atahori nenehumu nalaꞌ ra naen seli, ma banggi-bꞌaꞌe hahambuꞌ fee atahori.”
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
(Misinedꞌa dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ oi, “Ana hene”. Mete ma Ana hene, naa sosoan nae, lele uluꞌ a Ana onda nita raefafoꞌ nema.
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Dadꞌi atahori mana ondaꞌ naa, Kristus. Huu Eni mana hene baliꞌ sorga neu, fo mete-seꞌu basa-bꞌasaꞌ mana sia lalai no raefafoꞌ.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Kristus mana fee koasa neu atahori nara, fo ara ralalao ue-tataos fo Ana bꞌanggi basa fee se ena. Ana fee koasan neu ruma dadꞌi dedꞌenun, ruma dadꞌi, ruma dadꞌi manatadꞌa soaꞌ neu atahori nara, ruma dadꞌi atahori mahineꞌ mana ranori Eni atahorin, ma ruma fai dadꞌi mana nendi Hara-lii Maloleꞌ nisiꞌ mamana-mamana feuꞌ
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Esa-esaꞌ simbo ue-tataon fo tao rehehere Kristus atahorin nara, fo basa se bisa ralalao Eni ue-tataon. No taꞌo naa, basa hita mana tamahere neu Kristus boe maꞌadere,
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
losa basa hita tamahere no ralaꞌ sa. Ma basa hita tahine tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain Anan. Hita nda onaꞌ anadikiꞌ sa ena, huu hita tungga tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ dꞌalan ena, ma dadꞌi atahori mana nasodꞌa tungga basa Eni hihii-nanaun. Mete ma tasodꞌa onaꞌ naa ena, hita nda onaꞌ amba mana sobꞌo mbanaꞌ, fo lea e bee neu na ana tungga-tunggaꞌ a. Te mete ma mana peko-lelekoꞌ ra rema ranori dꞌala peko-lelekoꞌ, na nda ranggonggoa hita sa ena.
14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:
Te hita olaꞌ a maloleꞌ tungga matetun fee toronoo tara, huu hita sue se. De mete ma tasodꞌa onaꞌ naa sia sudꞌiꞌ a dalaꞌ bee, hita dadꞌi onaꞌ Kristus. Te Eni, Malangga mana mete-seꞌu hita.
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ma hita ia, onaꞌ Eni aon. Mete ma atahori lima-ein ma mbana-bꞌafan esa tao ues tulun esa tungga esa-esaꞌ ue-tataon, na, aon boe maꞌadere. Onaꞌ naa boe Kristus atahori nara. Mete ma hita esa sue esa ma esa tulu-fali esa, na, basa hita o boe maꞌadere.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Rena malolole saa fo au ae ola ia, huu Lamatua ngga mana nafadꞌe au. Ama afiꞌ sudꞌi misodꞌa onaꞌ atahori nda mana nahine Lamatualain sa. Te saa fo ara taoꞌ naa, tunggaꞌ a nggoa nara.
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Ara laoꞌ leli, ona atahori laoꞌ sia maꞌahatuꞌ. Ara leo saranggaa ro Lamatualain, huu langga fatu ma nda nau rena E sa.
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Ara nda rahine mamaet sa ena. De ara tunggaꞌ a hihii-nanau nara, ma rasodꞌa manggenggeoꞌ. Te ara o nda medꞌa rae naa dai ena sa.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
Te Kristus dꞌala masodꞌan, fo hei minoriꞌ a, nda taꞌo naa sa!
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Huu saa fo hei minori soꞌal Yesus Kristus, memaꞌ nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ. Neꞌo hei rena ena, to!
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Dadꞌi lao hela masodꞌa mbara mara! Te mete ma misodꞌa manggenggeoꞌ tunggaꞌ a atahori hihii-nanaun, hei nene pepeko-lelekoꞌ taꞌoꞌ a naa ena. Hei nda miꞌena hak sia naa sa ena.
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Te hela fo Lamatualain tao rala-dꞌudꞌuꞌa mara dadꞌi feuꞌ,
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
fo ama dadꞌi atahori feuꞌ onaꞌ Eni mata-aon boe. Dadꞌi hei musi mitudꞌu rala feuꞌ, no ndoos ma meumareꞌ.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
De ia na, miloeꞌ peko-lelekoꞌ leo! Esa olaꞌ ndoo-tetuꞌ no esa, huu basa nggita nenepaꞌaꞌ dadꞌi esa, ona, aoꞌ esa naꞌena ei-limaꞌ ma mbana-bafaꞌ.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Mete ma miminasa, na afiꞌ miminasa losa ama tao salaꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ ama malolole leo! Afiꞌ mimbedaꞌ nasat losa relo mopo!
27 Neither give place to the devil.
No taꞌo naa, nitu ra malanggan nda bisa sobꞌa-dꞌou nala nggi sa. Afiꞌ fee ne hambu kakaꞌet mbei boe.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Atahori mana hiiꞌ a ramanaꞌo, miloeꞌ leo! Malole lenaꞌ atahori onaꞌ naa tao ues no maloleꞌ nendiꞌ lima hehelin, fo ana bisa babꞌanggi buna-bꞌoaꞌ no atahori mana tudꞌa lololeꞌ ra.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Mete ma olaꞌ, afiꞌ olaꞌ deꞌulakaꞌ, mae akaꞌ dedꞌea-dꞌekeꞌ sa a! Malole lenaꞌ olaꞌ maloleꞌ. Ma fee nenoriꞌ neu atahori, fo tulun tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ se, ma tao manggatee rala nara.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Afiꞌ nameraꞌ Lamatualain Dula-dꞌale Meumaren ralan, te Ana sia rala mara. Ma Ana henggene hei ena nae, hei ia, Lamatualain enan. Dula-dꞌalen o fee tatanda nemehereꞌ oi, losa fai mateteꞌen, Lamatualain fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggi fo misodꞌa mikindoo mo E.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
De afiꞌ mimbedaꞌ ralaꞌ mo atahori laen! Afiꞌ mingginggio mbali atahori! Afiꞌ miminasa! Afiꞌ mitofa-miiu! Afiꞌ miꞌimuti atahori naran. Ma afiꞌ tao dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ laen ra fai!
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Malole lenaꞌ hei esa sue esa, ma esa tao dꞌala maloleꞌ no esa. Hei musi liliiꞌ hendi atahori sala-kilu nara, ma fee ambon neu e, onaꞌ Lamatualain fee ambon neu sala mara, huu hei nenepaꞌaꞌ mo Kristus ena.
