Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:
1Tedongah Boeipa ah thongtla kai loh nangmih aka khue kah khuenah neh a tingtawk la pongthoh ham kan hloep.
2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
2Tlayaenah neh muelhtuetnah cungkuem neh, thinsennah neh lungnah dongah khat neh khat yaknaem uh thae.
3and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
3Rhoepnah kah pinyennah dongah Mueihla kah kodoknah te khoem ham haam uh lah.
4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
4Nangmih kah khuenah te ngaiuepnah pakhat dongah n'khue uh vanbangla pum pakhat neh mueihla pakhat ni a om.
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
5Boeipa pakhat, tangnah pakhat, baptisma pakhat ni a om.
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
6A cungkuem kah Pathen neh Pa tah pakhat ni. Te tah cungkuem soah cungkuem lamloh cungkuem dongah om.
7Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
7Tedae Khrih kah kutdoe tarhing la mamih khat rhip taengah lungvatnah m'paek coeng.
8This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
8Te dongah, “Hmuen sang la a luei vaengah tamna te a mawt tih hlang rhoek taengah kutdoe a paek,” a ti.
9What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
9A luei nen te dawk om pawt tih diklai hmuen te a laedil duela suntla bal.
10He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
10Amah te suntla tih a cungkuem te soep sak ham vaan boeih kah a soah aka luei la om bal.
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,
11Te phoeiah amah loh a ngen te caeltueih rhoek, a ngen te tonghma rhoek, a ngen te olthangthen aka thui la, a ngen tah, tudawn neh saya la a khueh.
12to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
12Bibi dongkah bitat dongah hlangcim rhoek kah hamsoepnah ham, Khrih pum dongkah hlinsainah ham a khueh.
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.
13Tangnah dongkah kodoknah dongah, Pathen capa kah mingnah dongah, lungcuei hlang pakhat la, Khrih a soepnah pumrho dongkah cungnueh dongla boeih m'pha uh duela a khueh.
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.
14Te daengah ni cahmang la n'om uh pawt eh. Rhaithinah neh tholhhiknah lungpoek dongla aka mawt hlang kah thailatnah loh thuituennah khohli neh a vikvawk tih boeih a yawn lah ko.
15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
15Oltak thui uh sih lamtah lungnah neh amah dongah boeih rhoeng uh sih. Khrih amah te a lu la om.
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.
16Amah lamloh pum he boeih kiba tih cului uh. Rhuhcong boeih lamloh pakhat rhip kah cungnueh neh a bibi tarhing ah bomnah neh a cungvang khaw pum pakhat kah rhoengnah dongah lungnah neh amah kah hlinsainah te a khueh.
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.
17Te dongah Boeipa ah ni ka thui tih ka laipai. Namtom rhoek loh a lungbuei kah a honghi neh a pongpa uh bangla nangmih te pongpa uh boeh.
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.
18A kopoek te a hmuep la a om pah tih Pathen kah hingnah te a hai coeng. A khuikah kotalhnah neh a thinko kah thinthahnah khaw om pai.
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.
19Amih yahdaeng rhoek loh halhkanah cungkuem neh rhongingnah bibi ham te omthenbawn dongla amah voei uh.
20But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
20Tedae nangmih tah tetlam te om uh boeh Khrih te mah awt uh.
21Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
21Amah te na yaak uh tangloeng atah Jesuh ah oltak a om vanbangla amah dongah ni n'thuituen uh.
22to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
22Hmilhmaknah kah hoehhamnah dongah aka poeih uh lamhma kah hlang rhuem omih te nangmih loh duul uh.
23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
23Te dongah nangmih kah lungbuei te mueihla neh thai sak uh.
24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
24Pathen loh duengnah neh oltak kah cimcaihnah dongah n'suen vanbangla hlang thai te bai uh.
25Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
25Te dongah laithae te duul uh sih lamtah khat rhip loh a imben taengah oltak thui uh sih. Khat neh khat pumrho lam ni n'om uh.
26“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
26Kosi na hong uh akhaw tholh puei uh boeh. Khomik loh nangmih kah thintoeknah te tlak thil boel saeh.
27and do not give the devil a foothold.
27Rhaithae te hmuen pae boeh.
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.
28Aka huen loh huen voel boel saeh. Tedae amah kut neh a then saii ham thakthae lat saeh. Te daengah ni aka ngoe te aka doedan la a om eh.
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.
29Ol rhong ol ing boeih te nangmih kah ka lamloh thoeng boel saeh. Tedae a then pakhat a om atah a ngoe vaengkah hlinsainah la om saeh. Te daengah ni aka ya rhoek te lungvatnah a paek eh.
30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
30Te phoeiah Pathen kah Mueihla Cim te kothet sak boeh. Amah loh tlannah khohnin ham kutnoek n'daeng coeng.
31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.
31Olkhaa cuengkuem neh thinsanah khaw, kosi neh rhungrhah khaw, soehsalnah neh phayoenah boeih khaw nangmih lamloh khoe uh.
32Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
32Te phoeiah khat neh khat taengah sitloh thimhalh neh kodam la om uh. Khrih ah Pathen loh nangmih rhen bangla khat neh khat khodawkngai uh.
