Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
ato bandirahaM prabho rnAmnA yuShmAn vinaye yUyaM yenAhvAnenAhUtAstadupayuktarUpeNa
2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
sarvvathA namratAM mR^idutAM titikShAM parasparaM pramnA sahiShNutA nchAcharata|
3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
praNayabandhanena chAtmana ekyaM rakShituM yatadhvaM|
4 There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,
yUyam ekasharIrA ekAtmAnashcha tadvad AhvAnena yUyam ekapratyAshAprAptaye samAhUtAH|
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
yuShmAkam ekaH prabhureko vishvAsa ekaM majjanaM, sarvveShAM tAtaH
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.
sarvvoparisthaH sarvvavyApI sarvveShAM yuShmAkaM madhyavarttI chaika Ishvara Aste|
7 But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
kintu khrIShTasya dAnaparimANAnusArAd asmAkam ekaikasmai visheSho varo. adAyi|
8 Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
yathA likhitam Aste, "Urddhvam Aruhya jetR^in sa vijitya bandino. akarot| tataH sa manujebhyo. api svIyAn vyashrANayad varAn||"
9 Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Urddhvam AruhyetivAkyasyAyamarthaH sa pUrvvaM pR^ithivIrUpaM sarvvAdhaHsthitaM sthAnam avatIrNavAn;
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
yashchAvatIrNavAn sa eva svargANAm uparyyuparyyArUDhavAn yataH sarvvANi tena pUrayitavyAni|
11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
sa eva cha kAMshchana preritAn aparAn bhaviShyadvAdino. aparAn susaMvAdaprachArakAn aparAn pAlakAn upadeshakAMshcha niyuktavAn|
12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
yAvad vayaM sarvve vishvAsasyeshvaraputraviShayakasya tattvaj nAnasya chaikyaM sampUrNaM puruShartha nchArthataH khrIShTasya sampUrNaparimANasya samaM parimANaM na prApnumastAvat
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
sa paricharyyAkarmmasAdhanAya khrIShTasya sharIrasya niShThAyai cha pavitralokAnAM siddhatAyAstAdR^isham upAyaM nishchitavAn|
14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
ataeva mAnuShANAM chAturIto bhramakadhUrttatAyAshChalAchcha jAtena sarvveNa shikShAvAyunA vayaM yad bAlakA iva dolAyamAnA na bhrAmyAma ityasmAbhi ryatitavyaM,
15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
premnA satyatAm AcharadbhiH sarvvaviShaye khrIShTam uddishya varddhitavya ncha, yataH sa mUrddhA,
16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
tasmAchchaikaikasyA Ngasya svasvaparimANAnusAreNa sAhAyyakaraNAd upakArakaiH sarvvaiH sandhibhiH kR^itsnasya sharIrasya saMyoge sammilane cha jAte premnA niShThAM labhamAnaM kR^itsnaM sharIraM vR^iddhiM prApnoti|
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
yuShmAn ahaM prabhunedaM bravImyAdishAmi cha, anye bhinnajAtIyA iva yUyaM pUna rmAcharata|
18 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.
yataste svamanomAyAm AcharantyAntarikAj nAnAt mAnasikakAThinyAchcha timirAvR^itabuddhaya IshvarIyajIvanasya bagIrbhUtAshcha bhavanti,
19 They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
svAn chaitanyashUnyAn kR^itvA cha lobhena sarvvavidhAshauchAcharaNAya lampaTatAyAM svAn samarpitavantaH|
20 But you didn’t learn Christ that way,
kintu yUyaM khrIShTaM na tAdR^ishaM parichitavantaH,
21 if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
yato yUyaM taM shrutavanto yA satyA shikShA yIshuto labhyA tadanusArAt tadIyopadeshaM prAptavantashcheti manye|
22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
tasmAt pUrvvakAlikAchArakArI yaH purAtanapuruSho mAyAbhilAShai rnashyati taM tyaktvA yuShmAbhi rmAnasikabhAvo nUtanIkarttavyaH,
23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
yo navapuruSha IshvarAnurUpeNa puNyena satyatAsahitena
24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
dhArmmikatvena cha sR^iShTaH sa eva paridhAtavyashcha|
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
ato yUyaM sarvve mithyAkathanaM parityajya samIpavAsibhiH saha satyAlApaM kuruta yato vayaM parasparam a Ngapratya NgA bhavAmaH|
26 “Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
aparaM krodhe jAte pApaM mA kurudhvam, ashAnte yuShmAkaM roShesUryyo. astaM na gachChatu|
27 and don’t give place to the devil.
aparaM shayatAne sthAnaM mA datta|
28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
choraH punashchairyyaM na karotu kintu dInAya dAne sAmarthyaM yajjAyate tadarthaM svakarAbhyAM sadvR^ittyA parishramaM karotu|
29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
aparaM yuShmAkaM vadanebhyaH ko. api kadAlApo na nirgachChatu, kintu yena shroturupakAro jAyate tAdR^ishaH prayojanIyaniShThAyai phaladAyaka AlApo yuShmAkaM bhavatu|
30 Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
apara ncha yUyaM muktidinaparyyantam Ishvarasya yena pavitreNAtmanA mudrayA NkitA abhavata taM shokAnvitaM mA kuruta|
31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
aparaM kaTuvAkyaM roShaH koShaH kalaho nindA sarvvavidhadveShashchaitAni yuShmAkaM madhyAd dUrIbhavantu|
32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
yUyaM parasparaM hitaiShiNaH komalAntaHkaraNAshcha bhavata| aparam IshvaraH khrIShTena yadvad yuShmAkaM doShAn kShamitavAn tadvad yUyamapi parasparaM kShamadhvaM|
