Ephesios 4

1 Obsecro itaque vos ego vinctus in Domino, ut digne ambuletis vocatione, qua vocati estis,

Pea ko eni, ko au ko e pōpula ʻae ʻEiki, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ke mou ʻaʻeva ʻo taau mo e ui ʻaia kuo uiuiʻi ʻaki ʻakimoutolu,

2 cum omni humilitate, et mansuetudine, cum patientia, supportantes invicem in charitate,

‌ʻI he angavaivai kotoa pē mo e angamalū, mo e kātaki fuoloa, ʻo fekātakiʻaki ʻi he ʻofa;

3 soliciti servare unitatem Spiritus in vinculo pacis.

‌ʻO ʻahiʻahi lahi ke tauhi ʻae feʻofoʻofani ʻoe Laumālie ʻi he noʻo ʻoe melino.

4 Unum corpus, et unus Spiritus, sicut vocati estis in una spe vocationis vestrae.

‌ʻOku taha pe ʻae sino pea taha ʻae Laumālie, ʻio, ʻo hangē kuo ui ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻamanaki lelei pe taha ʻo homou uiuiʻi;

5 Unus Dominus, una fides, unum baptisma.

Ko e ʻEiki pe taha, ko e tui pe taha, ko e papitaiso pe taha,

6 Unus Deus et Pater omnium, qui est super omnes, et per omnia, et in omnibus nobis.

Ko e ʻOtua pe taha mo e Tamai ʻatautolu kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku māʻolunga he meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.

7 Unicuique autem nostrum data est gratia secundum mensuram donationis Christi.

Ka kuo foaki kiate kitautolu taki taha kotoa pē ʻae ʻofa, ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻoe foaki ʻa Kalaisi.

8 Propter quod dicit: Ascendens in altum captivam duxit captivitatem: dedit dona hominibus.

Ko ia ʻoku ne pehē ai, “ʻI heʻene ʻalu hake ki ʻolunga, naʻa ne taki pōpula ʻae fakapōpula, ʻo ne ʻatu ʻae ngaahi foaki ki he kakai.”

9 Quod autem ascendit, quid est, nisi quia et descendit primum in inferiores partes terrae?

(Pea ko ʻene “ʻalu hake,” ko e hā ia ka koeʻuhi naʻe tomuʻa ʻalu hifo ia ki he ngaahi potu ʻi mama ki lalo ni?

10 Qui descendit, ipse est et qui ascendit super omnes caelos, ut impleret omnia.

Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu hifo, ko ia ia foki naʻa ne ʻalu hake ʻo māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ʻi he ngaahi langi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke ne fakafonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.)

11 Et ipse dedit quosdam quidem Apostolos, quosdam autem Prophetas, alios vero Evangelistas, alios autem pastores, et doctores

Pea “naʻa ne foaki ʻae niʻihi,” ko e kau ʻaposetolo; mo e niʻihi, ko e kau palōfita; mo e niʻihi, ko e kau ʻevangeliō; mo e niʻihi, ko e kau faifekau mo e kau akonaki;

12 ad consummationem sanctorum in opus ministerii, in aedificationem corporis Christi:

Ko hono fakahaohaoa ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni, mo e ngāue fakafaifekau, ke langa hake ʻae sino ʻo Kalaisi:

13 donec occurramus omnes in unitatem fidei, et agnitionis filii Dei, in virum perfectum, in mensuram aetatis plenitudinis Christi:

Kae ʻoua ke tau hoko kotoa pē ki he fakataha ʻi he tui, pea mo e ʻiloʻi ʻoe ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ki he tangata haohaoa, ki he fuofua ʻo hono lahi ʻoe fonu ʻo Kalaisi:

14 ut iam non simus parvuli fluctuantes, et circumferamur omni vento doctrinae in nequitia hominum, in astutia ad circumventionem erroris.

Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau kei fakatamaiki, ʻo feliliʻaki, mo feʻaveʻaki fano ʻe he matangi ʻoe akonaki kotoa pē, ʻi he poto kākā ʻoe tangata, mo e poto ʻi he fiemuʻa, ʻaia ʻoku nau toka tataʻo ai ke kākaaʻi;

15 Veritatem autem facientes in charitate, crescamus in illo per omnia, qui est caput Christus:

Kae lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻi he ʻofa, pea tupu hake ʻiate ia, ʻaia ko Kalaisi ko e ʻulu, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē:

16 ex quo totum corpus compactum, et connexum per omnem iuncturam subministrationis, secundum operationem in mensuram uniuscuiusque membri, augmentum corporis facit in aedificationem sui in charitate.

‌ʻAia ʻoku fakahokohoko ai ʻae sino kotoa, pea fakataha ʻi he meʻa ʻoku tokoni ʻaki ʻe he kupu kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki hono faʻa fai ʻi he fua ʻoe potu kotoa pē, ʻoku tupulaki ai ʻae sino, pea langa hake ia ʻi he ʻofa.

17 Hoc igitur dico, et testificor in Domino, ut iam non ambuletis, sicut et Gentes ambulant in vanitate sensus sui,

Pea ko e meʻa ni, ʻoku ou tala mo fakapapau ʻi he ʻEiki, ke ʻoua te mou kei ʻaʻeva ʻo hangē ko e ʻaʻeva ʻae Senitaile kehe, ʻi he vale ʻo honau loto,

18 tenebris obscuratum habentes intellectum, alienati a vita Dei per ignorantiam, quae est in illis, propter caecitatem cordis ipsorum,

Kuo fakapoʻuli honau loto, kuo fakamavaheʻi mei he moʻui fakaʻotua, ʻi he vale ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi he fefeka ʻo honau loto:

19 qui desperantes, semetipsos tradiderunt impudicitiae, in operationem immunditiae omnis in avaritiam.

‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku taʻeongoʻi, kuo nau tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he anga fakalielia, ke fai ʻae meʻa ʻuli kotoa pē ʻi he fiefie fai.

20 Vos autem non ita didicistis Christum,

Ka kuo ʻikai pehē hono akonekina ʻakimoutolu meia Kalaisi;

21 si tamen illum audistis, et in ipso edocti estis, sicut est veritas in Iesu.

He kuo fanongo ʻakimoutolu kiate ia, pea kuo akonekina ʻakimoutolu meiate ia, ʻo fakatatau ki he moʻoni ʻoku ʻia Sisu:

22 Deponite vos secundum pristinam conversationem veterem hominem, qui corrumpitur secundum desideria erroris.

Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻulungāanga motuʻa, ke mou siʻaki ʻae tangata motuʻa, ʻaia ʻoku fakalielia, pea tatau mo e ngaahi holi kovi fakakākā;

23 Renovamini autem spiritu mentis vestrae,

Pea ke fakafoʻou ʻakimoutolu ʻi he tefito ʻo homou loto;

24 et induite novum hominem, qui secundum Deum creatus est in iustitia, et sanctitate veritatis.

Pea ke ʻai ʻekimoutolu ʻae tangata foʻou, ʻaia ʻoku fakatupu ke tatau mo e ʻOtua ʻi he angatonu mo e māʻoniʻoni moʻoni.

25 Propter quod deponentes mendacium, loquimini veritatem unusquisque cum proximo suo: quoniam sumus invicem membra.

Ko ia ke liʻaki ʻae loi, kae taki taha lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ki hono kaungāʻapi: he ʻoku tau fekupuʻaki ʻakitautolu.

26 Irascimini, et nolite peccare: sol non occidat super iracundiam vestram.

Ke mou ʻita, kae ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā mo hoʻomou ʻita:

27 Nolite locum dare diabolo:

Pea ʻoua naʻa fakaʻataʻatā ki he tēvolo.

28 qui furabatur, iam non furetur: magis autem laboret, operando manibus suis, quod bonum est, ut habeat unde tribuat necessitatem patienti.

Ko ia ia naʻe kaihaʻa, ke ʻoua ʻe toe kaihaʻa: ka ne ngāue muʻa, ʻo fai ʻaki hono nima ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei, koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu ke foaki kiate ia ʻoku masiva.

29 Omnis sermo malus ex ore vestro non procedat: sed siquis bonus ad aedificationem fidei ut det gratiam audientibus.

Ke ʻoua naʻa haʻu ha talanoa ʻuli mei homou ngutu, ka ko ia ʻoku lelei ʻo ʻaonga ke langaʻaki hake, koeʻuhi ke tupu ai ʻae tokoni ki he kau fanongo.

30 Et nolite contristare Spiritum sanctum Dei: in quo signati estis in die redemptionis.

Pea ʻoua naʻa fakamamahi ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo silaʻi ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻaho ʻoe huhuʻi.

31 Omnis amaritudo, et ira, et indignatio, et clamor, et blasphemia tollatur a vobis cum omni malitia.

Tuku ke mamaʻo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae loto kovi kotoa pē, mo e ʻita, mo e lili, mo e feʻiohoʻaki, mo e lea fakakovi, mo e fakafasifasi kotoa pē:

32 Estote autem invicem benigni, misericordes, donantes invicem sicut et Deus in Christo donavit vobis.

Kae feangaleleiʻaki ʻakimoutolu kiate kimoutolu, ʻo manavaʻofa, ʻo fefakamolemoleʻaki ʻakimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e fakamolemolea ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi.
