Efesoarrei 4
1 Othoitz eguiten drauçuet bada nic, bainaiz presoner gure Iaunean, ebil çaitezten deithu içan çareten vocationeari dagocan beçala,
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, call on you to walk worthily of the calling in which ye were called,
2 Humilitate eta emetassun gucirequin, spiritu patient batequin, elkar supportatzen duçuelaric charitatez:
with all humility and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing each other in love.
3 Arthatsu çaretelaric Spirituaren vnitatearen beguiratzera baquezco lotgarriaz.
Endeavoring 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. Just as also ye were 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. He is over all, and through all, and in us all.
7 Baina gutaric batbederari gratia eman içan çayó Christen dohainaren neurriaren araura.
But the grace was given to each of us, according to the measure of the gift of the Christ.
8 Halacotz dio, Goiti iganic captiuo eraman vkan du captiuitatea, eta eman drauzte dohainac guiçoney.
Therefore he says, Having ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.
9 Eta igaite hura cer da, lehen lurreco parte behera hautara iautsi-ere dela baicen?
And what is the ascended, except that he also first descended 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 descended is also the same man who ascended high above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.
11 Harc bada eman ditu batzu, Apostolu içateco: eta berceac, Propheta: eta berceac, Euangelista: eta berceac, Pastor eta Doctor içateco,
And indeed he gave the apostles, and the prophets, and the evangelists, and the shepherds and teachers
12 Sainduén elkarganatzeagatic, ministerioaren obracotzát, Christen gorputzaren edificationetan.
for the perfecting of the sanctified, for the work of ministry, for edification of the body of the Christ.
13 Guciac rencontra gaitezqueno fedearen, eta Iaincoaren Semearen eçagutzearen vnitatean, guiçon perfectotan, Christen adin perfecteco neurrira:
Until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a standard 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.
So that we may no longer be childish, tossed about and carried about by every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men in craftiness with the methodology of error.
15 Baina eguiari garreitzalaric charitaterequin, gucietan handi gaitecen hartan, cein baita buruä, Christ:
But being truthful in love, we may cause all things to grow for him 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, joined together and united together through every connection of the supply, according to the working of each one part within a standard, makes the growth of the body for the construction of itself by love.
17 Haur bada erraiten dut, eta Iaunaz requeritzen çaituztet, guehiagoric etzaitezten ebil berce Gentilac dabiltzan beçala berén adimenduco vanitatean,
This I say therefore, and solemnly declare in the Lord, for you to walk no longer as also the other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Adimenduz ilhunduac diradelaric eta Iaincoaren vicitzetic appartatuac, hetan berén bihotzeco gogortassunetic den ignorantiaren causaz:
darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the callousness of their heart.
19 Eta sendimendu gabeturic, bere buruac abandonnatu vkan dituzté dissolutionetara, cithalqueria ororen eguitera, appetitu desordenaturequin.
Who, having become callous, gave themselves over to licentiousness for the work of all uncleanness in greed.
20 Baina çuec eztuçue hala ikassi vkan Christ:
But ye did not so learn the Christ,
21 Baldin behinçát hura ençun vkan baduçue, eta harçaz iracatsiac baçarete, eguiá Iesus baithan den beçala:
if indeed ye 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:
for you to put off the old man according to your former conduct, the man who is corrupt according to the desires of deceitfulness,
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 according to God, the man who was created in righteousness and piety of the truth.
25 Halacotz, gueçurra kenduric, minça çaiteztez eguiaz batbedera cein çuen hurcoarequin: ecen elkarren membro gara.
Therefore having put off falsehood, let each man speak truth with his neighbor, because we are body-parts of each other.
26 Asserre çaiteztez, eta bekaturic eztaguiçuela: iguzquia eztadila etzin çuen asserretassunaren gainean:
Be ye angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your wrath,
27 Eta lekuric eztemoçuela deabruari.
neither give a place to the devil.
28 Ebaisten çuenac ezteçala guehiagoric ebats: baina aitzitic trabailla bedi on daten gauçaric eguiten duela, beharra duenari emaiteco duençát.
Let the man who steals steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the good, so that he may have to give to him who has need.
29 Hitz corrumpituric batre çuen ahotic ilki eztadila, baina cembeit bada, edificationearen vsançaco on datenic, ençuten duteney gratia eman diecençát.
Let no corrupt speech go out of your mouth, rather if there is any good word for edification of a need, so that it may give grace to those who hear.
30 Eta ezteçaçuela contrista Iaincoaren Spiritu saindua, ceinez ciguilatuac baitzarete redemptioneco egunecotzát.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye are sealed for a 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 reviling be taken away from you, with all evil.
32 Baina çareten elkargana benigno, misericordioso eta elkarri barkaçale, Iaincoac Christez barkatu vkan drauçuen beçala.
And become good toward each other, compassionate, forgiving each other, even as also God in Christ forgave us.
