Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
Bawipa khut ka pawha phäh thawng üng ka kyumki kei naw ka ning jah nghuinak ta, Pamhnam naw a ning jah khü üng a ning jah tak pet cän nami kpha vaia xüngsei ua.
2 With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
Angläta mlung mhnem lü hniphnawi lü mlung msaü lü ve ua. Mat ja mat püi cuneinak am nami mhläkphyanak mdan ua.
3 Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Dim’yenak am atänga ning jah khitkhawn khaia Ngmüimkhya naw a ning jah peta yümmatnak cän nami khyaih khawha thupei ua.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
Pumsa mat ja Ngmüimkhya mat ni a ve ta, Pamhnam naw a ning jah khü üng pi äpeinak mat ni a ve.
5 There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
Bawipa mat, jumnak mat, baptican mat ja,
6 One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
khyang avana Pa ja Pamhnam mat ni a ve. Ani cun avan khana Bawia kya lü avana üngkhyüh khut bi lü avana k'uma veki.
7 But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Khritaw naw aphäh phäha a jah pet ktunga letsawng cun mat cim naw mi yahki.
8 Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
Cangcim naw, “Ak’hlünga a kai üng, tamna khawhah a jah cehpüi, khyange üng letsawng pi jah peki,” a ti.
9 (Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
Atuha “kaiki” tinak hin i ni? Tinak hlü ta a ni cun akcüka aknem säiha khawmdeka kyum lawki ni.
10 Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
Kyum lawki cun jäng kaiki kunga kya lü khankhawea khan ja acuna thea üng pi a venak cun khawliva avan üng beki ni.
11 Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
Ani cun naw “khyange üng letsawnge jah peki”; ani naw avang cun ngsä he vaia a jah mcawn, akcee cun sahmae vaia, akcee cun evawnkelih saja vaia, akcee cun pasatae jah mtheimthangkiea a jah mcawna kyaki.
12 For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
Khritawa pumsa cun sawngsak vaia phäha Pamhnama khyange cun khritjan kawnsang khut üng ngpüi khaia a jah pitpyang ni.
13 Till we all meete together (in the vnitie of faith and that acknowledging of the Sonne of God) vnto a perfite man, and vnto the measure of the age of the fulnesse of Christ,
Mi jumnak yümmatnaka k'um ja Pamhnam ksingnaka atänga mi lawki. Mimi cun xüngvai law lü Khritawa hlüngkia a pumyaw cun mi pha vaia ni.
14 That we henceforth be no more children, wauering and caried about with euery winde of doctrine, by the deceit of men, and with craftines, whereby they lay in wait to deceiue.
Khyange jah mhlei lü hlawhlepnak mtünmdawng u lü hmakatnaka jah cehpüikie khyangea mtheinak naw a jah jawnceh canaea mimi cun am ni kya ti u.
15 But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
Acuna hnün üng lua kyaki Khritaw üng dämduh lü mhläkphyanaka Ngmüimkhya am ngthungtak cun mi pyen yah khai.
16 By whome al the body being coupled and knit together by euery ioynt, for ye furniture therof (according to the effectual power, which is in the measure of euery part) receiueth increase of the body, vnto the edifying of itselfe in loue.
Ania upthingnaka nghngalangkia kphyeme cun atänga pumsa mat am ve u lü pumsa mat naw kphyem avan cun atänga jah mcahki. Mat cim naw a mi pawh vai pawh u lü pumsa cun mhläkphyanak am däm law lü amät cun sawngsaeiki.
17 This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
Pamhnam am tä lü ami cungaih pi ia am ngtähkhehki khyangea kba msu lü käh nami xün vaia Bawipa ngming ning jah mcäi lü,
18 Hauing their vnderstanding darkened, and being strangers from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardnesse of their heart:
Acuna khyange mlung cun nghmüp k'uma ni. Pamhnam naw a jah peta xünnak üng am ngpüi u, ami cun mawngcei lü ami mlung pi ngcangki.
19 Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
Ami ngkeei vai am ksing lü mtüihmlehki ja akse bilawhnak naküt üng am ngphep khawh u lü amimät ngapeikie ni.
20 But yee haue not so learned Christ,
Khritawa vei ami ngthei ta acun am ni!
21 If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
A mawng nami ngjaki, nami cun a hnu kläkea ami kya akba Jesuh üng veki ngthungtak cun nami ngtheikie ni.
22 That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
Acunakyase nami xünnak khawi, akphyüme cän jah hawihkceh lü akphyüm amät hin am dawkia hlükaweinak naw akpyak ni.
23 And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
Nami mlung ja cungaihnak cun akthaia avan jah pyang u,
24 And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
lü akthai cän jah suisa u, acun hin Pamhnam am täng lü xünnak akcanga kyaki ngcim lü ngsungki tia amät naw mdan khaia mhnünmcenga kyaki ni.
25 Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Käh hleihlak ti vai! Mat cim naw ngthungtak cun jumeiki akcee üng nami mtheh yah khai, isetiakyaküng, Khritawa pumsa üng mi van hin atänga akphyema mi kyaki.
26 Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
Nami mlung a so law üng mkhyenak käh pawhsak lü a mhnüpa nami mlung käh so kawm.
27 Neither giue place to the deuill.
Khawyai üng akcün käh pe u.
28 Let him that stole, steale no more: but let him rather labour, and worke with his handes the thing which is good, that hee may haue to giue vnto him that needeth.
Nami mpyukei khawi üng mpyukeinak cän hawih lü khut bi ua, iseniti ta mpyenkseki nami jah kpüinak vai ja nami phäha akdaw lama nami yahmtang thei vaia ni.
29 Let no corrupt comunication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good, to ye vse of edifying, that it may minister grace vnto the hearers.
Khyükse käh sumei lü ngdüih thawhnak vai khyü däk sumei u. Akcukba ani üngva ngjakiea phäha na pyensak daw lü jah sawngsa khai ni.
30 And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya Ngcim käh thüiseisak ua, Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw va ning jah msing lü Pamhnam naw a ning jah mhlätnak vaia Mhnüpa phäh amahkhamkia kyaki.
31 Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
Mlungsonak, mlungsetnak ja am dawki hlükaweinak cun jah hawih ua. Püi cawkeinak, ngpyangpyetnak ja ng’eihnak am ve ti.
32 Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.
Acuna hnün üng mat ja mat üawm na lü Pamhnam naw Khritaw üngkhyüh aning jah mhläteia kba mat ja mat pi mhlätei ua.
