Ŵaefeso 5
1 Mwasyasye Akunnungu pakuŵa ŵanyamwe ndi ŵanache ŵao ŵakunonyelwa.
Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
2 Ntameje kwa kunonyelana, mpela Kilisito iŵatite pakutunonyela ni kuutyosya umi wakwe kwaligongo lyetu nti mbopesi jakununjila ni sadaka jajikwanonyela Akunnungu.
and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell.
3 Nambo pakuŵa ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, nipele chikululu ni usakwa wauli wose pane chilema chikakolanjikwa pasikati jenu.
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Ngasimecheta maloŵe ga soni ni gangalimate pane ga makani ngagakuŵajilwa kose kukwenu, nambo mmbaya kuŵecheta maloŵe gakwatogolela Akunnungu.
nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
5 Mmanyilile isyene kuti jwachikululu jwalijose ni jwausakwa ni jwalipamo, mundu jwanti yele ali chisau mundu jwakuchipopelela chinyago ni mundu jwalijose jwanti yele ngaapata chindu mu Umwenye wa Kilisito ni wa Akunnungu.
For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, which is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
6 Akanlambusya mundu kwa maloŵe gangalimate, kwa ligongo lya gelego Akunnungu akwalamula ŵele ŵangakwapilikanichisya.
Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Nipele ŵanyamwe nkakamulangana nawo.
Be not ye therefore partakers with them;
8 Ŵanyamwe kalakala mwaliji pa chipi, sambano ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵa Ambuje, nkutamanga palulanga. Kwayele ntamanje mpela ŵandu ŵaali mu lulanga,
For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
9 pakuŵa kutama palulanga kukuntenda mpanganye indu yambone ni kupanganya indu yakusaka Akunnungu ni kuŵecheta ya usyene.
(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
10 Nchalile kuimanyilila yaikwanonyelesya Ambuje.
proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
11 Nipele nkaliwanganya nkupanganya ipanganyo yangalimate ya mu chipi, nambo mwaichisye ŵandu palulanga.
and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
12 Ligongo indu yakuipanganya kwachisyepela ikutesya soni namose kuiŵalanga.
for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.
13 Nambo yose yaikwichiswa palulanga, ikuloleka pangasisika,
But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
14 pakuŵa lulanga ni lwalukulosya indu yose pangasisika. Kwa ligongo lyo Malembelo gakuti, “Njimuche mmweji ungonile, nsyuche, nombe Kilisito chanlanguchisye.”
Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.
15 Nipele nlilolechesye inkuti kutama. Nkatama mpela ŵandu ŵakuloŵela nambo ntame mpela ŵandu ŵandi ni lunda.
Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
16 Ntumie uchenene katema kandi nako kwa kupanganya indu yambone, pakuŵa moŵa ga gali gakusakala.
redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Kwa ligongo lyo nkaŵa ŵakuloŵela, nambo nsose kuimanyilila aila yakuisaka Ambuje mpanganye.
Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 Kasinkolelwa divai pakuŵa kukolelwa kukuntesya mundu apanganye indu yangalumbana pangaganisya ichikopochele. Nambo ngumbaswe Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Pankukunguluka, mmechete kwa maloŵe ga Sabuli ni nyimbo sya kulapa ni nyimbo sya kupopelela. Mwajimbile Ambuje ni kwajangalalila kwa mitima jenu.
speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
20 Mwatogolele Akunnungu Atati, moŵa gose kwa indu yose, mu liina lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
21 Kila mundu annolechesye njakwe kwa kulitulusya kwa ligongo lya kwachimbichisya Kilisito.
subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
22 Ŵanyamwe achimbumba, mwapilikanichisye achiŵankwenu mpela inkuti kwapilikanichisya Ambuje.
Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 Pakuŵa jwannume akunlongosya ŵankwakwe, mpela Kilisito nombe ali jwakuulongosya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Nombe Kilisito nsyene ali ŵakwakulupusya ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila, ŵaali chiilu chao.
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body.
24 Mpela ila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito yakuti pakwapilikanichisya Kilisito, iyoyo achimbumba nombe ŵapilikanichisye achiŵankwawo mu yose.
But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything.
25 Ni ŵanyamwe achalume, mwanonyele achiŵankwenu mpela Kilisito yatite pakwanonyela mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kwa kuutyosya umi wao kwa ligongo lyao.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
26 Ŵatesile yeleyo kuti auŵiche pajika mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kwa ligongo lya Akunnungu, ni kwajosya kwa liloŵe lyao mpela akwajosya ni meesi,
that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
27 kuti akombole kuliichisya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaali ŵaswela ni ŵambone, ŵangali chileŵo, atamuno ngwinyata, atamuno chachili chose chati iyoyo.
that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church], not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 Iyoyo peyo achalume akusachilwa ŵanonyele achiŵankwawo mpela yakuti kuinonyela iilu yao achinsyene. Jwannume jwakunnonyela ŵankwakwe akulinonyela nsyene.
Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:
29 Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwaakuchichima chiilu chakwe nsyene, nambo akuchilisya ni kuchigosa mpela Kilisito yakuti pakuugosa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito,
for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;
30 ligongo uwe wose tuli iŵalo ya chiilu chao.
because we are members of his body.
31 Mpela igakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Kwa ligongo li, jwannume chiŵaaleche atatigwe ni achikulugwe ni chalumbikane ni ŵankwakwe, nombe ŵaŵili wo chaŵe ŵamo.”
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh.
32 Kwana usyene wausisiche waunukulikwe kukwangu mmalembelo nkati Kilisito ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakwe ŵakunkulupilila.
This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.
33 Nambo ukungamba ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe: Jwannume jwalijose annonyele ŵankwakwe mpela yakuti kulinonyela nsyene, ni jwambumba nombe ampilikanichisye ŵankwakwe.
Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see] that she fear her husband.
