Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
Ary noho izany izaho, mpifatotra noho ny amin’ ny Tompo, dia mangataka aminareo mba handeha miendrika ny fiantsoana izay niantsoana anareo,
2 With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
amin’ ny fanetren-tena rehetra sy ny fahalemem-panahy, amin’ ny fahari-po mifandefitra amin’ ny fitiavana,
3 Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
mazoto mitana ny firaisana avy amin’ ny Fanahy amin’ ny fehim-pihavanana.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
Iray ny tena, ary iray ny Fanahy, dia toy ny niantsoana anareo ho amin’ ny fanantenana iray momba ny fiantsoana anareo;
5 There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
iray ny Tompo, iray ny finoana, iray ny batisa,
6 One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
iray Andriamanitra sady Rain’ izy rehetra, Izay ambonin’ izy rehetra sy manerana azy rehetra ary ao amin’ izy rehetra.
7 But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Fa samy nomena ny fahasoavana araka ny ohatry ny fanomezan’ i Kristy avy isika rehetra.
8 Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
Koa izany no ilazany hoe: Raha niakatra ho any amin’ ny avo Izy, dia nitondra olona maro ho babo Ka nanome fanomezana ho an’ ny olona.
9 (Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
(Ary ny amin’ ny hoe niakatra, inona moa izany, afa-tsy ny efa nidina ho any ambanin’ ny tany koa?
10 Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
Izay nidina, dia Izy koa no Ilay niakatra any ambonin’ ny lanitra rehetra, hamenoany ny zavatra rehetra.)
11 Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
Ary Izy no nanome ny sasany ho Apostoly, ary ny sasany ho mpaminany, ary ny sasany ho evanjelista, ary ny sasany ho mpiandry sy mpampianatra,
12 For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
ho fanatanterahana ny olona masìna, ho amin’ ny asan’ ny fanompoana amin’ ny fiangonana, ho amin’ ny fampandrosoana ny tenan’ i Kristy,
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,
mandra-pahatongantsika rehetra ho amin’ ny firaisan’ ny finoana sy ny fahalalana tsara ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra, ka ho lehilahy lehibe, mahatratra ny ohatry ny halehiben’ ny fahafenoan’ i Kristy;
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.
mba tsy ho zaza intsony isika, ka ahilangilana sy ampitambolimbolenin’ ny rivotry ny fampianarana samy hafa rehetra amin’ ny saim-petsy ataon’ ny olona sy ny fihendreny hahatanteraka ny hevitry ny famitahana;
15 But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
fa mba hanaraka ny marina amin’ ny fitiavana ka hitombo amin’ ny ny zavatra rehetra ho amin’ izay Loha, dia Kristy;
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.
Izy no itomboan’ ny tena rehetra (izay akambana sy ampiarahina tsara) noho ny fifanompoan’ ny isan-tonony, araka ny fiàsan’ izay rehetra momba azy amin’ izay mety ho anjara-asany avy ka hampandrosoany ny tenany amin’ ny fitiavana.
17 This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
Koa izao no lazaiko sady ambarako ao amin’ ny Tompo: ny tsy mba handehananareo intsony tahaka ny fandehan’ ny jentilisa amin’ ny fahafoanan’ ny sainy;
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:
fa efa tonga maizin-tsaina sy olon-ko azy amin’ ny fiainan’ Andriamanitra ireny noho ny tsi-fahalalana ny anatiny, noho ny hamafin’ ny fony,
19 Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
dia olona tsy mahalala henatra intsony ka nanolo-tena ho amin’ ny fijejojejoana hanao izay fahalotoana rehetra amin’ ny fieremana.
20 But yee haue not so learned Christ,
Fa ianareo kosa, dia tsy mba toy izany no nianaranareo an’ i Kristy,
21 If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
raha Izy tokoa no renareo ka tao aminy no nampianarana anareo, araka ny fahamarinana izay ao amin’ i Jesosy,
22 That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
mba hialanareo ny toetrareo taloha araka ny fitondran-tenanareo fahiny, izay mihasimba araka ny filan’ ny fitaka;
23 And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
fa mba hohavaozina kosa ianareo amin’ ny fanahin’ ny sainareo,
24 And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
ary mba hotafinareo ny toetra vaovao, izay noforonina araka an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fahitsiana sy ny fahamasinana momba ny fahamarinana.
25 Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Koa esory ny lainga, ka samia milaza ny marina amin’ ny namany avy ianareo rehetra; fa samy isan’ ny momba ny tenan’ ny namantsika avokoa isika.
26 Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
Tezera, fa aza manota; ary aoka tsy ho tratry ny masoandro milentika ny fahatezeranareo.
27 Neither giue place to the deuill.
Aza manome fitoerana ho an’ ny devoly.
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.
Aoka izay nangalatra tsy hangalatra intsony; fa aleo hikely aina ka hiasa izay tsara amin’ ny tànany, mba hisy homeny izay tsy manana.
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.
Aoka tsy haloaky ny vavanareo izay teny maloto, fa izay tsara ho fampandrosoana, araka izay tokony hanaovana, mba hahazoan’ ny mihaino fahasoavana.
30 And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
Ary aza mampalahelo ny Fanahy Masin’ Andriamanitra, Izay nanisiana tombo-kase anareo ho amin’ ny andro fanavotana.
31 Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
Esory aminareo ny fo-lentika rehetra sy ny fahavinirana sy ny fahatezerana sy ny fitabatabana sy ny fitenenan-dratsy ary ny lolompo rehetra;
32 Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.
ary aoka samy halemy fanahy amin’ ny namany avy ianareo, ka hifampiantra sy hifamela heloka, tahaka ny namelan’ Andriamanitra ny helokareo ao amin’ i Kristy.
