1I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called,
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 mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
2hmuen boih ah, minawk tlim ah khosakhaih, poeknaemhaih hoi palungsawkhaih to tawn oh loe, maeto hoi maeto amlunghaih hoiah khosah oh;
3Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
3Muithla ah poekhaih maeto amhong thai hanah tha pathok oh.
4One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling.
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 above all, and through all, and in us 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.
7But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.
7Toe Kri ih tangqum paekhaih baktih toengah, tahmenhaih loe aicae boih khaeah paek boeh.
8Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he 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.
9Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into 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 that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
10Anghum tathuk kami loe, hmuen boih koepsak hanah, van boih ranui koekah daw tahang kami to thuih koehhaih ih ni.)
11And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors,
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:
12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
12kaciim kaminawk toksak akoep moe, Kri takpum a qoeng o sak thai hanah,
13Until we all meet into the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness 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;
14That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive.
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,
15But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:
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 whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.
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.
17This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,
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,
18Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness 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:
19Who despairing, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
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 you have not so learned Christ;
20To baktih hmuen to Kri khae hoiah nam tuk o ai;
21If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught in him, as the truth 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, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.
22canghnii ih aling koehhaih palungthin hoiah kamro kangquem hinghaih to angkhring oh loe,
23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind:
23Muithla ah poekhaih palungthin to angtha o sak ah;
24And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
24toenghaih hoi loktang ciimcaihaih bangah, Sithaw ah sak ih kami kangtha to angkhuk oh.
25Wherefore putting away lying, speak; ye the truth every man with his neighbour; for we are members one of 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.
26Be angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
26Palung na phui o, toe zaehaih sah o hmah: palung na phuihaih loe niduem hmah nasoe.
27Give not place to the devil.
27Setan hanah ahmuen pahoe pae o hmah.
28He that stole, let him now steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth 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 evil speech proceed from your mouth; but that which is good, to the edification of faith, that it may administer grace to the hearers.
29Na pakha thung hoiah loksae tacawt hmah nasoe, tahngai kaminawk atho oh thai hanah, atho kaom lok to patoh oh.
30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto 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.
31Let all bitterness, and anger, and indignation, and clamour, and blasphemy, be put away from you, with all malice.
31Hnukmahaih, poek amthuenghaih, palungphuihaih, hraw-anghaih, loksethaih hoi uthaihnawk boih to nangmacae khae hoiah takhoe o ving ah:
32And be ye kind one to another; merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.
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.
