Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
Kulwejo, lwo mubhohya ingulu ya Latabhugenyi, enibhasabhwa mulibhate amwi lwakutyo mwabhilikiwe na Nyamuanga.
2 With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
Mwikale kwo bhwololo bhunene no kwikeya no kwigumilisha.
3 Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Mukole kwa managa okubhika obhumwi bhwo Mwoyo mu kubhohya kwo mulembe.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
Gulio omubhili gumwi no Mwoyo gumwi, lwakutyo ona yaliga mubhilikihye mukwiikanya kwo kubhilikilwa kwemwe.
5 There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
Alio Latabhugenyi umwi, elikilisha limwi, obhubhatijwa bhumwi,
6 One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
na Nyamuanga umwi na Latabhugenyi wa bhona. Omwene ali ingulu ya bhyona, katula mubhyona munda ya bhyona.
7 But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Kwa bhuli umwi weswe ayanibhwe echigongo okulubhana na indengo ye chigongo cha Kristo.
8 Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
Nilwakutyo amandiko agaika: Ejile agenda ingulu muno, atangasishe jingwatwa mu bhugaya. Nasosha ebhiyanwa ku bhanu.”
9 (Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
Niki obhugajulo bhwa, “Alinyile,” Tali ati ekile mbala jona je chalo?
10 Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
Omwene unu ekile ni munu oyo oyo unu alinyile ingulu muno kukila lwile lwona. Akolele kutya okubhao kwae kubheo kubhinu bhyona.
11 Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
Kristo asosishe ebhiyanwa lwa bhinu: jintumwa, abhalagi, abhalasi bhe bhisango bhyo bhwana, abhalefi, na bheigisha.
12 For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
Akolele kutya okubhakola abhekilisha kwo kufulubhenda, kulwokugumbaka omubhili gwa Kristo.
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,
Kakola kutya okukinga eswe bhona chikingile obhumwi bwe likisha no bhwengeso bhwo mwana wa Nyamuanga. Kakola kutya okukinga chibhone okukomela lwa bhanu bhakingile mundengo yo kukumila mu Kristo.
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.
Inu ni kutya chitaja kubha lindi bhana, chitaja kuingisibhwa ingisibhwa enu neyo. Koleleki ati chitaja kugegwa bhuli muyaga gwa meigisho, kwo bhwengebwenge bhwa bhanu no bhujigijigi bhunu bhutasikene.
15 But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
Nawe chaikega, echimali mu lyenda no kukula muno munjila jona munda ya unu ali mutwe, Kristo.
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.
Kristo agwatanyishe, kwa amwi, omubhili gwona ogwabhekilisha. Gugwatanyibhwe amwi na bhuli bhiungo koleleki mubhili gwona gukule no kwiyumbaka ogwene mulyenda.
17 This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
Kulwejo, enaika linu, na enibhasabha mu Latabhugenyi: Mutalibhataga lindi lwa bhanu bha bhanyamahanga lwa kutyo abhalibhata mubhugayuke bho bhiganilisha bhwebhwe.
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:
Bhatelewemo echisute mubhwiganilisha bhwebhwe. Bhabhilimibhwe okusoka mubhuanga bhwa Nyamuanga kwo bhumumu bhunu bhuli munda yebhwe kulwainsonga yo bhukomee bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
19 Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
Bhatakubhona nswalo. Bhegwatanyishe abhene mu bhujabhi mu bhikolwa bhijabhi, na bhuli chinu cho mutubho.
20 But yee haue not so learned Christ,
Nawe, tikwo kutyo mweigiye ingulu ya Kristo.
21 If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
Enitogelati mwonguhye ingulu yae. Enitogelati mwaliga nimwiigisibhwa mumwene, lwakutyo echimali chili munda ya Yesu.
22 That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
Nibhusibhusi mufule amagambo gona ganu agalubhilila akagendee kemwe akakala, bhumunu bhwa kala. Ni bhumunu bhwa kala bhunu obhubhola kwainsonga yo okuligila no bhujigijigi.
23 And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
Mufule bhumunu bhwemwe obhwakala koleleki mukolwe bhuyaya emyoyo jo bhwiganilisha bhwemwe.
24 And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
Mukole kutyo mubhone okufwala bhumunu obhuyaya, bhunu obhugendana na Nyamuanga. Umogelwe mubhulengelesi no bhwelu bhwe chimali.
25 Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Kulwejo, mute kula okujigajiga.”Mulome echimali, bhuli munu no mwikashanya wae,” kulwainsonga chili bhamwi kubhuli munu kuwejabho.
26 Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
Mubhe na lisungu, nawe mutakola bhikayo.” Lisubha nilitubhila muli mwi sungu lyemwe.
27 Neither giue place to the deuill.
Mutamuyana Omusoko omwanya.
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.
Wona wona unu kebha nibhusibhusi asige okwibha lindi. Jimwiile akole emilimu. Akole emilimu jinu jili jobhwana mumabhoko gae, koleleki atule okumsakila unu ali mukene.
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.
Amagambo amajabhi gasige kusoka mukanwa kemwe. Tali, amagambo gasoke mukanwa kemwe ganu geile ku mukene, ngabhayana echigongo bhanu abhategelesha.
30 And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
Na mutaja kumujubhya Omwoyo Mwelu wa Nyamuanga. Nikumwene ati mwatehyeko olunyamo ingulu yo olusiku lwo kuchungulwa.
31 Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
Nibhusibhusi mute kula lisungu lyona, no kubhiililwa, lilemo, na mafumo, amwi na bhuli chinu cho bhujabhi. Mubhe bhafula emwe kwe mwe.
32 Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.
Mubhe no bhwila. Mwiswalililane emwe kwe mwe, lwakutyo Nyamuanga mu Kristo kutyo abheswaliliye emwe.
