1As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:
1Kawk ih kami ah na oh o baktih toengah, kawk ih kami hoi kamcuk ah kho na sak o hanah, Angraeng pongah thongkrah kami, Kai mah kang pacae o,
2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
2hmuen boih ah, minawk tlim ah khosakhaih, poeknaemhaih hoi palungsawkhaih to tawn oh loe, maeto hoi maeto amlunghaih hoiah khosah oh;
3and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
3Muithla ah poekhaih maeto amhong thai hanah tha pathok oh.
4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
4Oephaih maeto tawnh hanah nangcae to kawk baktih toengah, takpum maeto hoi Muithla maeto ni oh;
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
5Angraeng maeto, tanghaih maeto, tuinuemhaih maeto,
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
6kaminawk boih ih Ampa, Sithaw maeto khue ni oh, anih loe aicae boih ranui ah oh, kami boih khaeah oh moe, nangcae boih thungah oh.
7Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
7Toe Kri ih tangqum paekhaih baktih toengah, tahmenhaih loe aicae boih khaeah paek boeh.
8This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
8To pongah ni Anih ranui bangah caeh tahang naah, misong ah kaom kaminawk to a zaeh moe, kaminawk khaeah tangqumnawk to paek, tiah a thuih.
9What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
9(Anih caeh tahang, tiah thuih naah, anih loe long thung ih kahnaem koek ahmuen ah anghum tathuk hmaloe, tiah doeh thuih koehhaih ih na ai maw?
10He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
10Anghum tathuk kami loe, hmuen boih koepsak hanah, van boih ranui koekah daw tahang kami to thuih koehhaih ih ni.)
11And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
11Anih mah thoemto kaminawk to patoeh ih kami, thoemto kaminawk to tahmaa, thoemto kaminawk to tamthanglok taphong kami, thoemto kaminawk to kricaa zaehoikung hoi patukkung ah paek:
12to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
12kaciim kaminawk toksak akoep moe, Kri takpum a qoeng o sak thai hanah,
13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.
13aicae boih tanghaih hoi Sithaw Capa panoekhaih bangah maeto ah amhong moe, Kri akoephaih tawn kami maeto ah a pha o ai karoek to om tih;
14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.
14aicae loe aling thaih kaminawk mah, aling thai hanah patuk ih loknawk pongah, takhi mah hmuh naah ahnuk ahmaa kangthui nawktanawk baktiah a oh o han om ai,
15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
15toe tih boih ah lu ah kaom, Kri hoi kangvan ah a qoeng o thai hanah, amlunghaih hoiah loktang lok thui kami ah a oh o han oh boeh:
16From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.
16Anih khae hoiah ni takpum boih nawnto amcong moe, kamtomh ahuhnawk boih doeh thacaksak, takpum ah kaom tanghangnawk boih mah angmacae ih tok a sak o boih baktih toengah, takpum to amlunghaih bangah a qoeng o sak tahang.
17So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
17To pongah Angraeng rang hoiah hae tiah lok ka thuih, vaihi hoi kamtong tiah doeh angcoeng ai, Gentelnawk caehhaih baktiah caeh o hma lai ah,
18They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.
18nihcae panoekhaih loe khoving baktiah tahmuep moe, panoekhaih tawn o ai, palung mik a maeng o pongah, Sithaw hinghaih hoiah amkhraeng o ving boeh:
19Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more.
19nihcae loe azathaih tawn o ai, taksa koehhaih bangah thacak o parai moe, long taksa koeh hmoekhaih palung tawnh o pongah, kaciim ai hmuennawk boih to a sak o.
20But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
20To baktih hmuen to Kri khae hoiah nam tuk o ai;
21Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
21Anih kawng to na thaih o boeh, loktang loe Jesu ah ni oh, tiah anih mah ang patuk o boeh:
22to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
22canghnii ih aling koehhaih palungthin hoiah kamro kangquem hinghaih to angkhring oh loe,
23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
23Muithla ah poekhaih palungthin to angtha o sak ah;
24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
24toenghaih hoi loktang ciimcaihaih bangah, Sithaw ah sak ih kami kangtha to angkhuk oh.
25Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
25To pongah lok amlaihaih to takhoe oh, aicae loe takpum maeto hoi kaom tanghang ah a oh o pongah, kami boih mah a imtaeng kami khaeah loktang lok to thuih han oh.
26“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
26Palung na phui o, toe zaehaih sah o hmah: palung na phuihaih loe niduem hmah nasoe.
27and do not give the devil a foothold.
27Setan hanah ahmuen pahoe pae o hmah.
28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.
28Paqu kami loe paqu hma lai nasoe: toksah nasoe loe, amtang kaminawk abom hanah, kahoih hmuen to a ban hoiah sah nasoe.
29Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.
29Na pakha thung hoiah loksae tacawt hmah nasoe, tahngai kaminawk atho oh thai hanah, atho kaom lok to patoh oh.
30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
30Sithaw ih Kacai Muithla to palungsae o sak hmah, Anih hoiah ni akranghaih ni karoek to hanah catui ang daeng o.
31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.
31Hnukmahaih, poek amthuenghaih, palungphuihaih, hraw-anghaih, loksethaih hoi uthaihnawk boih to nangmacae khae hoiah takhoe o ving ah:
32Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
32maeto hoi maeto nuiah tahmenhaih hoi amlunghaih to tawn oh, Kri ah Sithaw mah ang tahmen o baktih toengah, nangcae doeh maeto hoi maeto tahmenhaih tawn oh.
