1 I therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to and beg you to walk (lead a life) worthy of the calling to which you have been called [with behavior that is a credit to the summons to God’s service,

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed anigoo maxbuus ku ah Rabbiga, waxaan idinka baryayaa inaad yeedhistii laydiinku yeedhay ugu socotaan si istaahil ah,

2 L iving as becomes you] with complete lowliness of mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness), with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because you love one another.

idinkoo leh is-hoosaysiin iyo qalbiqaboobaan oo dhan iyo samir, oo midkiinba midka kale jacayl ugu dulqaadanayo.

3 B e eager and strive earnestly to guard and keep the harmony and oneness of the Spirit in the binding power of peace.

Ku dadaala inaad midownimada xagga Ruuxa ku xajisaan xidhiidhka nabadda.

4 o ne body and one Spirit—just as there is also one hope to the calling you received—

Haddaba waxaa jira jidh keliya iyo Ruux keliya, xataa sida idinka laydiinkugu yeedhay rajo keliya xagga yeedhistiinnii.

5 o ne Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Oo waxaa jira Rabbi keliya iyo iimaan keliya iyo baabtiis keliya,

6 O ne God and Father of all, Who is above all, pervading all and in all.

iyo Ilaah keliya oo kulli Aabbe u ah, oo wax walba ka sarreeya, oo wax walba ka dhex shaqeeya, oo wax walba ku jira.

7 Y et grace (God’s unmerited favor) was given to each of us individually in proportion to the measure of Christ’s gift.

Laakiinse midkeen kastaba nimcada waxaa laynoo siiyey sida ay tahay qiyaasta hadiyadda Masiixa.

8 T herefore it is said, When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive '> vanquished foes] and He bestowed gifts on men.

Sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu yidhi, Markuu kor u baxay ayuu wuxuu qabtay oo kaxeeyey kuwii maxaabiista ahaan jiray, Wuxuuna dadka siiyey hadiyado.

9 N ow what can this, He ascended, mean but that He had previously descended from heaven into, the lower parts of the earth?

Haddaba, kor buu u baxay, micneheedu waa maxay haddayan ahayn inuu isagu hoos ugu degtay meelaha dhulka ugu hooseeya?

10 H e Who descended is the same as He Who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that He might fill all things (the whole universe, from the lowest to the highest).

Waa isla kii hoos u degtay kan haddana kor u baxay oo samooyinka oo dhan ka sara maray si uu isaga buuxiyo wax kastaba.

11 A nd His gifts were some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers.

Oo qaar wuxuu ka dhigay inay ahaadaan rasuullo, qaarna nebiyo, qaarna wacdiyayaal, qaarna kuwo kiniisadda dhaqaaleeya, iyo macallimiin.

12 H is intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church),

Sababtuna waa kaamilidda quduusiinta xagga shuqulka adeegidda, iyo xagga dhisidda jidhka Masiixa,

13 u ntil we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the '> full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.

ilaa aynu wada gaadhno midnimada rumaysadka iyo aqoonta Wiilka Ilaah oo aynu noqonno dad waaweyn xagga qiyaasta koridda ee buuxnaanta Masiixa.

14 S o then, we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead.

Waa inaynaan mar dambe ahaan carruur rogrogmanaysa oo lagu kaxaysto dabayl kasta oo cilmi ah xagga dulanka dadka iyo khiyaanada iyo sirta qaladka.

15 R ather, let our lives lovingly express truth. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Laakiinse innagoo si jacayl ah runta ugu hadlayna aynu wax walba ku korno xaggiisa, kan madaxa ah oo ah Masiixa,

16 F or because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.

kaas oo jidhka oo dhammu si wanaagsan isugu haysto oo isugu wada xidhan yahay caawimaadda xubin kastaaba keento sida xubin kastaaba u shaqayso qiyaasteeda oo ugu kordhiso jidhka inuu jacayl ku dhismo. Noloshii Hore Iyo Tan Cusub

17 S o this I say and solemnly testify in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the heathen (the Gentiles) do in their perverseness of their minds.

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga waan idiinkugu markhaati furayaa, oo waxaan idinku leeyahay, Mar dambe ha ugu soconina sida dad aan Ilaah aaminin ugu socdaan xumaanta maankooda.

18 T heir moral understanding is darkened and their reasoning is beclouded. alienated (estranged, self-banished) from the life of God because of the ignorance (the want of knowledge and perception, the willful blindness) that is deep-seated in them, due to their hardness of heart.

Waxgarashadoodii way madoobaatay, oo jaahilnimada iyaga ku jirta aawadeed iyo qalbi engegnaantooda aawadeed ayay ajanabi uga noqdeen nolosha Ilaah.

19 I n their spiritual apathy they have become callous and past feeling and reckless and have abandoned themselves to unbridled sensuality, eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity.

Iyagoo xishood beelay waxay isu daayeen nijaas inay wasakh kasta hunguriweynaan ku sameeyaan.

20 B ut you did not so learn Christ!

Laakiinse idinku Masiixa sidaas kuma aydnaan baran,

21 A ssuming that you have really heard Him and been taught by Him, as Truth is in Jesus,

hadday run tahay inaad isaga maqasheen oo isaga laydinku baray sida runtu Ciise ugu jirto.

22 S trip yourselves of your former nature which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion;

Waa inaad iska xoortaan dabiicaddii hore, oo ku saabsanayd socodkiinnii aad ku socon jirteen, taas oo kharribanta xagga damacyada khiyaanada;

23 A nd be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind,

oo waa inaad ku cusboonaataan ruuxa maankiinna,

24 A nd put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God’s image, in true righteousness and holiness.

oo aad huwataan dabiicadda cusub oo loo abuuray inay Ilaah ugu ekaato xaqnimada iyo quduusnimada runta. Amarrada Ku Saabsan Nolosha Masiixiyiinta

25 T herefore, rejecting all falsity and being done now with it, let everyone express the truth with his neighbor, for we are all parts of one body and members one of another.

Sidaas daraaddeed beenta iska fogeeya, oo midkiin waluba deriskiisa run ha kula hadlo, waayo, innaga midkeenba midka kale wuxuu u yahay xubnihiisa.

26 W hen angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down.

Haddaad cadhootaan, ha dembaabina. Qorraxdu yay idinka dhicin idinkoo cadhaysan.

27 L eave no room or foothold for the devil.

Ibliiskana meel ha siinina.

28 L et the thief steal no more, but rather let him be industrious, making an honest living with his own hands, so that he may be able to give to those in need.

Kii wax xadi jiray yuusan mar dambe wax xadin, laakiinse ha hawshoodo isagoo gacmihiisa ku shaqaynaya oo wax wanaagsan samaynaya si uu u haysto wax uu siiyo ka wax u baahan.

29 L et no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk come out of your mouth, but only such as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who hear it.

Hadal qudhun ahu yuusan afkiinna ka soo bixin, laakiinse ku hadla waxa u wanaagsan dhisidda loo baahan yahay inay nimceeyaan kuwa maqla.

30 A nd do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God’s own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin).

Ha calool xumaynina Ruuxa Quduuska ah oo Ilaah oo laydiinku shaabadeeyey maalinta madaxfurashada.

31 L et all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind).

Haddaba qadhaadh iyo dhirif iyo cadho iyo qaylo iyo cay oo dhammi ha idinka fogaadeen iyo xumaan kastaaba;

32 A nd become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

oo idinka midkiinba midka kale ha u roonaado, oo ha u qalbi jilicsanaado, idinkoo iscafiyaya sidii Ilaahba Masiixa idiinku cafiyey.
