Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
Konsa, mwen menm, prizonye a Senyè a, mwen priye nou pou nou mache nan yon manyè dign de apèl avèk sila yo te rele nou an,
2 With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
avèk tout imilite ak dousè, avèk pasyans, nan montre tolerans pou youn lòt nan lanmou,
3 Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
nan rete dilijan pou konsève linite Lespri a, e nan lyen lapè.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
Gen yon kò ak yon Lespri, menm jan ke nou te rele nan yon sèl espwa de apèl nou an;
5 There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
yon sèl Senyè, yon sèl lafwa, yon sèl batèm,
6 One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
yon sèl Bondye e Papa tout moun ki, sou tout bagay, pami tout bagay e nan tout bagay.
7 But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Men a nou chak, gras te vin bay selon mezi don a Kris la.
8 Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
Konsa sa ekri: “Lè Li te monte anlè, Li te mennen kon kaptif, kaptivite a menm, e Li te bay don a lèzòm.”
9 (Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
Alò, fraz sila a, “Li te monte”, kisa sa vle di eksepte ke Li osi te desann anba nan pati ki pi fon nan latè a?
10 Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
Sila ki te desann nan se Li menm tou ki te monte bokou pi wo pase tout syèl yo, pou Li ta kapab akonpli tout bagay.
11 Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
Konsa, Li te bay kèk kòm apot, kèk kòm pwofèt, kèk kòm evanjelis, e kèk kòm pastè ak enstriktè,
12 For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
pou preparasyon a fidèl yo pou zèv sèvis la, pou l ranfòse kò a Kris la,
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,
jiskaske nou tout vin rive nan linite lafwa a, ak konesans a Fis Bondye a, yon moun ki gen matirite, jiska mezi a wotè ki apatyen a Kris la.
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.
Kòm rezilta, nou pa dwe timoun ankò, ki vannen toupatou pa chak vag lanmè a, e ki vin pote pa chak van doktrin ki fèt pa twonpri a lòm, avèk tout koken ak manèv desepsyon;
15 But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
men pandan n ap pale verite a nan lanmou, nou dwe grandi nan tout aspè nan Sila, ki se tèt la, Kris Li menm.
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.
Nan Li menm tout kò a, ki fòme e ki kenbe ansanm pa sa ke chak jwenn founi, selon pwòp fonksyon a chak grenn pati, ki fè kò a grandi pou l byen bati pou kont li nan lanmou.
17 This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
Donk, mwen di sa e konfime ansanm avèk Senyè a pou nou pa mache ankò kòm pèp etranje yo mache, nan vanite a panse yo,
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:
avèk yon konprann ki byen fonse andeyò de lavi Bondye a, akoz de inyorans ki nan yo, akoz kè yo ki di.
19 Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
Konsa yo menm, ki te vin ensansib, te livre tèt yo a tout sansyalite, pou pratike tout kalite salte, e yo te vin voras.
20 But yee haue not so learned Christ,
Men nou pa t aprann Kris nan fason sa a,
21 If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
si vrèman nou te menm tande Li e te enstwi nan Li, jis nou konnen verite a se nan Jésus.
22 That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
Sa vle di ke nan referans a jan nou te konn viv la, nou mete sou kote ansyen moun nan, ki konwonpi an akò avèk pasyon twonpri yo,
23 And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
epi pou nou vin tounèf nan lespri a panse nou,
24 And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
pou nou kapab mete sou nou nouvo moun nan, ki fèt nan limaj Bondye, e ki te kreye nan ladwati, ak sentete de verite a.
25 Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Pou sa, mete akote sa ki fo, e “pale verite a, nou chak avèk vwazen nou”, paske nou se manm a youn lòt.
26 Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
“Fè fache, e malgre sa pa peche”; pa kite solèy la kouche pandan nou fache a,
27 Neither giue place to the deuill.
epi pa bay Dyab la opòtinite.
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.
Sila ki vòlè a pa dwe vòlè ankò, men pito, fòk li travay, pou fè avèk pwòp men li sa ki bon, pou li kapab gen yon bagay pou pataje avèk sila ki gen bezwen yo.
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.
Pa kite okenn vye mo sal sòti nan bouch nou, men sèlman kalite mo ki bon pou edifikasyon selon bezwen moman an, pou li kapab bay gras a sila ki tande l yo.
30 And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
Pa atriste Lespri Sen Bondye ki te sele nou pou jou redanmsyon an.
31 Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
Ke tout rankin nan kè, san wo, kòlè, zen, ak kout lang vin retire pami nou, ansanm ak tout malveyans.
32 Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.
Sèvi dousè a youn lòt, avèk bon kè, k ap padone youn lòt jis jan ke Bondye nan Kris la te osi padone nou an.
