Ephesus 4

1 Ke ma inge, nga su sie mwet presin ke sripen nga kulansupu Leum, nga kwafe nu suwos tuh kowos in moulkin ouiyen moul ma fal nu ke srikasrak se ma God El oakiya ke El pangon kowos.

Call upon you, then, do I — the prisoner of the Lord — to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,

2 Kowos in pusisel, efal, ac mongfisrasr pacl nukewa. Akkalemye lungse lowos nu sin sie sin sie ke muteng.

with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love,

3 Kowos in moniyuk in karingin inse sefanna su Ngun el asot nu suwos, ke misla se su kaprikowosi nu sie.

being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of the peace;

4 Oasr mano sefanna ac Ngun sefanna, oana ke oasr finsrak sefanna su God El pangon kowos nu kac.

one body and one Spirit, according as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

5 Oasr Leum sefanna, lulalfongi sefanna, ac baptais sefanna;

one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 oasr God sefanna, su Papa tumun mwet nukewa, ac su leumi ma nukewa, ac El orekma in ma nukewa ac muta in ma nukewa.

one God and Father of all, who [is] over all, and through all, and in you all,

7 Kais sie sesr eis tari mwe sang ke lungkulang, fal nu ke ma Christ el ase nu sesr.

and to each one of you was given the grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ,

8 Oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk: “El utyak nu yen fulatlana, El us mwet sruoh puspis welul, El asang mwe sang nu sin mwet uh.”

wherefore, he saith, 'Having gone up on high he led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men,' —

9 Na mea kalmen “El utyak”? Kalmac pa el oatui meet nu yen loallana lun faclu.

and that, he went up, what is it except that he also went down first to the lower parts of the earth?

10 Ouinge el su oatui, el pacna pa utyak nu yen fulatlana inkusrao, tuh el fah ku in oasr yen nukewa.

he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things —

11 El pacna pa “asang mwe sang nu sin mwet uh” — el sang nu sin kutu tuh elos in mwet sap, ac kutu in mwet palu, ac kutu in mwet sulkakinelik Pweng Wo, ac kutu in mwet sropo ac mwet luti.

and He gave some [as] apostles, and some [as] prophets, and some [as] proclaimers of good news, and some [as] shepherds and teachers,

12 El oru ma inge in akoela mwet lun God nukewa nu ke orekma lun mwet Christian in musaeak monin Christ.

unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ,

13 Ouinge kut nukewa fah ma sefannala in lulalfongi ac in etauk lasr ke Wen nutin God. Kut kwafe kut in sun moul in mwet pwaye, ac kut oayapa akwot in sun fulatan woiyen moul su oan in Christ.

till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ,

14 Na kut fah tia sifil moul in tulik, ikwot ikme ke noa ac eng uh, oana elos su srifeyuk ke mwe luti lun mwet kutasrik su kiapwelos ac kololosla nu ke moul tafongla.

that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray,

15 A ke kut fahkak ma pwaye in ngun lun lungse, kut in kapkapak in ouiya nukewa lun Christ, su sifa.

and, being true in love, we may increase to Him [in] all things, who is the head — the Christ;

16 Ye karinginyuk lal, kain in lah nukewa ke mano kupasreni wo, ac mano nufon sac fah sruokyukeni ke kais sie kupasr kac. Ouinge, ke kais sie lahn mano el oru ma kunal in fal, na mano nufon sac kapkapak ac musaiyukyak ke lungse.

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 doth make for the building up of itself in love.

17 Ke ma inge nga sensenkakin kowos inen Leum: kowos in tia sifil moul oana mwet pegan, su wangin sripen nunak lalos

This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,

18 ac nunkalos lohsrla. Ke sripen lalfon ac likkeke lalos, wangin ip lalos ke moul su God El ase.

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 Wangin pulakinyen mwekin selos; elos sifacna eisalosyang nu ke lung lun ikwa, ac oru ma fohkfok nukewa ac kofla sifacna tulokinya.

who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness;

20 Tia pa ingan ma kowos luti ke Christ!

and ye did not so learn the Christ,

21 Kowos lohng na pwaye kacl, ac ke kowos mwet lulalfongi in el, lutiyuk kowos tari ke ma pwaye lun Jesus.

if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth is in Jesus;

22 Ouinge kowos in sisla ouiyen moul matu lowos ma kowos moulkin in pacl meet — moul se su kunauskowosla ke sripen kena lowos nu ke ma kikiap.

ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit,

23 Insiowos ac nunkowos enenu in arulana aksasuyeyukla,

and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24 ac kowos enenu in nokomang mwet sasu, su orekla in luman God, ac su fwackyuk in moul pwaye, su suwoswos ac mutal.

and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.

25 Ke ma inge kowos in tia sifil kikiap! Kais sie mwet enenu in kaskas pwaye nu sin mwet wialos in lulalfongi, mweyen kut nukewa lahn sie sin sie in Christ.

Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

26 Kowos fin mulat, nik kowos lela mulat lowos in kolkowosla nu ke ma koluk, ac kowos in tia sruokya mulat lowos len fon se.

be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

27 Nikmet sang pacl lun devil.

neither give place to the devil;

28 El su pisrapasr meet el enenu elan tia sifil pusr, a elan orekma tuh elan akfalye enenu lal sifacna, ac elan ku pac in kasru mwet sukasrup.

whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.

29 Nikmet orekmakin kas in akkolukye mwet, a kas in kasru mukena — kain in kas ma ac musaeak ac su fal nu ke enenu, tuh ma kowos fahk uh ac fah akwoyalos su lohng.

Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

30 Ac nikmet aktoasrye Ngun lun God; tuh Ngun el mwe akul lun God keiwos in akpwayeye lah Len sac ac fah tuku ke God El ac fah aksukosokyekowosla.

and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

31 Sisla liki kowos lumah inge nukewa: sulung, mongsa, kasrkusrak, wowon, wenteisr, ac kutena nunak koluk lain mwet.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,

32 A kowos in kulang ac mongfisrasr nu sin sie sin sie, ac kowos in nunak munas nu sin sie sin sie, oana ke God El nunak munas nu suwos ke Christ.

and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.
