Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
N ye lio yonm dieli nni t Diedo Yesu po ki diani ki bua puni i cegili. Yin mɔndi ke i yenma n ya ñani wan yiini ki bua yi ya ye maama.
2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
Yi yaa jiindi i ba yogu kuli ki ya pia li pasɔngili yeni li mindili gi yi bàà sugili i lieba po. Lan kuli mbuama nni.
3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Mɔndi mani ki ya táá nɔbu ki ya ye yeni i lieba m yanduanma nni
4 There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,
B dugikaaba kuli tie gbannanyendo i. U Tienu fuoma mɔ tie yendo i ke b gɔ lugidi n ke u Tienu n puoni yaali kuli n tieni
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
O candaano tie yendoYesu kilisi yua ke t kuli daani. K gɔ ya bani ke m ñinwulima mɔ tie yenli Jesu yeli po.
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.
U Tienu tie yendi ki tie t kuli báa wani n ye t kuli niinn ki suani o tuonli
7 But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
U Tienu buama nni ke u teni Dugkaa kuli m tagimi paabi nani yua kuli n bua maam.
8 Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
Nani lan bo diani maama a tila nni: o gedi yeni i yonmi t yonbidi nni. K gɔ teni u buolu u paabu
9 Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Ya mataali n yedi ke o doni bua waani ̀ o jiidi Jelusalemi bi tinkpiba nni ki pan pua u tɔbu.
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Kirisi yua bo jiidi tinga nni ki paadi sotaani yeni ke b bo kpaa'o k o fii bi tinkpiba siiga nni ki ji la ya kaanu ŋani tanpoli yeni t kpiagidi ki fidi die bonli kuli yeni u paalu.
11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
O lugidi b dugikatɔba ke b tie tondikaaba, tianbi saawalipuala, laabaalŋanmo tundikaaba, pateri-nba bii tundikaaba.
12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
Li tieni n yeni ke lan fidi bobini u Tienu niba. Ban fidi sɔni li tuonli lan buali maam k gɔ todi kilisi yaaba kuli ban paa m tagima nni
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,
Wan ŋanbi bua yali tie ke t kuli n ŋanbi ki ya pia dudugiyenli; ki ŋanbi bandi u Tienu bijua, ki kpedi ki yaa tie nani yaaba n bandi kilisi k gbeni canyiin yeni.
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;
Lan fidi t daa tie nani bila yua ke b baa fidi pua'o faama yeni.
15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
Ama t baa bua u Tienu k gɔ dugi a tunda po ki mɔ ti fidi nandi yeni Yesu
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.
O tuo ke b dugukaaba n taani kpedi ki ya bua b lieba.
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,
Lani po n cedi ke n paandi i pala t diedo ke i yenma n daa tie nani yaaba ki bani u Tienu yeni
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.
B kan fidi tieni li yantiali ki bandi yaa tie faagu bii mɔnmɔni
19 They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
B ji k bani fei k ji suani ya tuona k nua; b gɔ ji kan fidi cuo bi ba yeni t jɔgintuona.
20 But you did not learn Christ that way,
Ama i bandi ke Kirisi boo tie yeni kaa
21 if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
Nanai yi ji gbadi Kirisi maama ke o gɔ tundi yeni; i ji bandi ke m yeŋanma tie ti ya tuagi Yesu n waan'ti maama i.
22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
Jesu bo tundi 'ti ke ti ñɔli ti tɔgikpeli yeni t maalbiidi yaaldi o nilo.
23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Li tie taladi yi lebidi i maalma.
24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
ki guani taa i mɔnmɔni maalŋanma yua ke u Tienu bua; nani ya niba n paadi bi bá ki ji cuoni Yesu ŋandi n yene.
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
Lan wani i ji ŋaa k daa pua i lieba faama ki dugini t kuli ne ji tie u Tienu diema yaaba i.
26 “Be angry, and do not sin.” Do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
Apali ya bɔndi ŋan daa ŋaa a pabɔnli n cua yeni t biidi bii ŋan ba t biidi nni. A mɔndi ŋaa li muituoli ke u yienu daa ba.
27 and do not give place to the devil.
Lani tie ŋan daa ŋaa sitaani n bigin'a ŋan baa t biidi nni.
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.
yaaba n jaani ban ji daa jaani ban ŋmigidi ki sɔni li tuonli ŋanma, ki kubi b yula ki gɔ fidi tod'i bii ki ñani yaaba n ye m cacagma nni
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.
Yi daa maadi jadimaama ama ya maama n mani ki gɔ mɔni. ki fidi paani yaaba bua pali yeni yaaba n songi yi.
30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Daa biidi mani u Tienu fuoŋanma i maama nni yeni i maalima nni. kelima wan taani 'ti ki tie t guudima ki ba ñani'ti t biidi nni.
31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
Daa pia mani langbina i lieba po, u tugutongu, m biadima.
32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Yi ya mani yeni i lieba, ki pia m niñinma i lieba po ki báá sugili nani u Tienu n bo teni 'ti faala kirisi niinn yeni.
