Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
Nekubabobo, mbuli mwange nkambo ka Mwami, ndamukombelezya kuti mwende chakwelela kubwiite obo mbumwakiitwa.
2 With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
Ndamukombelezya kuti mupone akulibombya kupati achakulitoba aansi akubamoyo mulamfu, mumvwidilane luzyalo umwi awumwi muluyando.
3 Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Muchite zyelede kukulondola kujatana kwamuuya kunchoonzyo achalumuno.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
Kuli mubili omwe amuuya omwe, kabiyo mbuli mbumwakiitwa mubulangizi boomwe bwabwitwe bwenu.
5 There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
Alimwi kuli Mwami omwe, lusyomo lomwe, lubbabbatizyo lomwe, a Leza womwe a Taata waboonse,
6 One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
uletela lyazyoonse alimwi kwindila kulizyoonse amulizyonse.
7 But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Kuli umwi awumwi wesu luzyalo wakapegwa kwindila mumwelo wachipo cha Kkilisito.
8 Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
Kuli mbuli malembe mbwaamba kuti: “Naakatanta kujulu. wakazulwida baange mubwange alimwi wakapa zipo kubantu.”
9 (Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
Chambanzi kuti, “Wakatanta kujulu,” kunze akuti wakaseluka kunsi anyika?
10 Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
Ooyo wakaselukide ngonguwe muntu kabiyo wakatanta kule atala lyamajulu oonse, kuti azuzye zyoonse zintu.
11 Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
Kkilisitu wakapa bamwi kuti babe batumwa, bamwi mbuli basinsimi, bamwi babe bakambawusi alimwi bamwi babe bembeli abayiisi.
12 For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
Wakapa zipo ezi kusamika bantu ba Leza basalala kubasamikila mulimu wakugwasya nkachitila kuyakwa kwamubili wa Kkilisitu.
13 Till we all meete together (in the vnitie of faith and that acknowledging of the Sonne of God) vnto a perfite man, and vnto the measure of the age of the fulnesse of Christ,
Kwinkilila anembo akuyaka mubili wakwe maane toonse tukasikile lujatano lwalusyomo aluzibo lwaMwana Leza, akuti tukasime akusikila mwelwe wabuzule bwa Kkilisitu.
14 That we henceforth be no more children, wauering and caried about with euery winde of doctrine, by the deceit of men, and with craftines, whereby they lay in wait to deceiue.
Kkilisitu wakatuyaka kuchitila kuti tatuchinoli bana bapupulwidwe musule akunembo aguuwo, kubwezegwa aguwo lyonse lyanjisyo yabuchenjezu bwabantu mumabambe abo alweno.
15 But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
Twelede kwaamba kasimpe muluyando, twelede kukomena mulizyonse inzila mulinguwe ooyo silutwe, nkokuti Kkilisitu.
16 By whome al the body being coupled and knit together by euery ioynt, for ye furniture therof (according to the effectual power, which is in the measure of euery part) receiueth increase of the body, vnto the edifying of itselfe in loue.
Kkilisitu uyaka mubili wonse, alimwi yonse igwasizya, alimwi mubili kuti ukomene kuchitila kuti uliyake mwini muluyando.
17 This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
Nkinkako, ndaamba kuti ndasimya kuleezi mu Mwami kuti tamuchinoyendi mbuli kweenda bamaasi, mubufubafuba bwamyoyo yabo.
18 Hauing their vnderstanding darkened, and being strangers from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardnesse of their heart:
Bali siyilidwe mukumvwisisisya kwabo, kuti kulimbabo, nkambo kakuyuma kwamyoyo yabo.
19 Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
Tabakwe nsoni alimwi bakalipeda kutubuno, alimwi bakiiya yoonse misyobo yazibi abulyabi.
20 But yee haue not so learned Christ,
Pele tensi mbubo mbumwakayiya atala akkilisito.
21 If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
Ndiyeyela kuti mwakamvwa atala anguwe, akuti amwakayisigwa mulinguwe, mbuli kuti bwini buli muli Jesu.
22 That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
Mwakayisigwa kuti musowe zyoonse zyemponeno yechiindi akusowa muntu wechiindi. Muntu wechiindi ngonguwe nguusofwede nkaambo kalweno lwaziyandisyo zyakwe.
23 And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
Musowe buntu bwechiindi kuti mulengululwe bupya mumiyeyo yanu,
24 And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
muchite echi kuti muzwate muntu mupya oyo ulengedwe muchiimo cha Leza-mubululami bwakasimpe abusalali.
25 Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Nkinkaako, amusowe bubeji, alimwi muleke uumwi awumwi wanu aambe kasimpe kulisimabambanwa wakwe, nkambo tulichizo chawumwi awumwi.
26 Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
“Nyema, pele utabisyi.” Utazumini kuti zuba likabbile nkochinyemede.
27 Neither giue place to the deuill.
Utapi mwenya kuli dyabulusi.
28 Let him that stole, steale no more: but let him rather labour, and worke with his handes the thing which is good, that hee may haue to giue vnto him that needeth.
Ooyo wakali kubba atachinobbi lubo welede kubeleka, kubelekela kulecho chibotu amaanza akwe, kuchitila kuti abe achimwi chakwabilana ababo babulide.
29 Let no corrupt comunication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good, to ye vse of edifying, that it may minister grace vnto the hearers.
Utazumizyi kwambuula kuchisa kuti kuzwe mumulomo wako. Belesya biyo majwi mabotu kuchitila kugwasigwa kwabaabo bakuyanda, kuchitila kuti majwi ako ape luzyalo kulaabo baamvwa.
30 And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
Alimwi mutapenzyi Muuya Uusalala wa Leza, nkaambo nguwe wakamusimisizya buzuba bwalununuko lwenu.
31 Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
Musowe boonse buluti amaambani, lunyemo, ndutiluti azisapi aantomwe abubi boonse.
32 Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.
Mube aluzyalo kuli umwi awumwi, moyo mubombe, mwambilane umwi awumwi, mbuli Leza muli Kkilisitu mbwakamulekelela.
