Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
Su, neni yanwera mtatilwa toziya numtendera Mtuwa, nuwaluwa mulikali makaliru yagafiruwa shemwa yamshemeritwi.
2 With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
Mashaka goseri muweri wananagala, wapoli na wantu wa kuhepera, mliheperani mwenga kwa mwenga kwa mafiliru.
3 Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Mgangamali kutula weri wumu wawujegwa na Rohu kwa kutenda ponga yayiwera pakati penu.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
Kwana nshimba yimu ya Kristu na Rohu yumu ntambu litumbiru lyamshemelitwi na Mlungu ndo limu.
5 There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
Kwana Mtuwa yumu na njimiru yimu na ubatizu wumu,
6 One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
kwana Mlungu yumu ndo Tati gwa woseri, ndomweni Mtuwa gwa woseri yakatenda lihengu muvyoseri na kamuwoseri.
7 But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Na kila yumu gwetu kawankiti manemu ga lifupu ntambu ya shipimu shakapatiti kwa Kristu.
8 Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
Malembu ntambu yagalonga, “Pakanyasukiti kugenda kumpindi nentu Kawalonguziyiti walopolwa, Vilaa kawapananiti wantu mafupu.”
9 (Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
Vinu patulonga, “Kanyasukiti kugenda kumpindi” Kwana mana gaa? Mana yakuwi hangu, kasulukiti mpaka pasi nakamu pasipanu.
10 Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
Su ulii yakasulukiti pasipanu ndo ayu yakanyasukiti kugenda kumpindi kwa mpindi zyoseri su kavikamilishi vintu vyoseri.
11 Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
Ndo mweni kawatenda wantu wamonga waweri wantumintumi na wamonga waweri wambuyi wa Mlungu na wamonga waweri wantu wa kushibwera Shisoweru Shiwagira na wamonga waweri walolera pamuhera na wafunda.
12 For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
Katenditi hangu kapati kuwatandira wantu woseri wa Mlungu toziya ya lihengu lya utendera Washikritu su kuyinyawa nshimba ya Kristu,
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,
na hangu twoseri tuwufikiri uwumu munjimiru na kummana Mwana gwa Mlungu, pamuhera tuweri yawakula, kufikira ukamilika wakuwi Kristu mweni.
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.
Su hapeni tuweri kayi gambira wana, patwaswa na kugulusiwa aku na aku kwa kila liyega lya mafundu ga kuwapayira wantu, su wawahowiziyi wamonga.
15 But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
Handa patuyowera unakaka kwa moyu gwa mafiliru, twenga hatukuli mukila shitwatira kulinganira na Kristu ndo mtuwi gwa wantu yawajimira.
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.
Pasi pa ulongoziwu wakuwi, viwungiru vyoseri vya nshimba vilikolerana pamuhera na nshimba yoseri ilitumbira kwa viwungiru vyakuwi. Su kila shiwungiru pashitenda lihengu lyakuwi ntambu yayifiruwa, nshimba yoseri ikula na kulinyawa mumafiliru.
17 This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
Su kwa litawu lya Mtuwa, nankuwabereziya, namulikala kayi gambira wantu yawammana ndiri Mlungu, ndoweni maholu gawu gahera mahala,
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:
na mahala gawu gawera muluwindu. Wakutali na ukomu yawulawa kwa Mlungu toziya ya uzigizigi yawuwera mngati mwawu na ukalipa wawu.
19 Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
Wapotoka na wahera soni, waliyingiziya muwupayira, womberi watenda kwa lopulopu kila ntambu ya vitwatira vya soni.
20 But yee haue not so learned Christ,
Kumbiti mwenga mlifunda hangu ndiri kuusu Kristu.
21 If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
Hashi, mwenga mupikanira ndiri kuusu Yesu? Nakaka mwenga mfunditwi kuusu yomberi kuwera unakaka wamungati mwakuwi.
22 That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
Su, mleki mwenendu gwenu gwa kwanja ntambu muntu yakavula nguwu yakuwi, yani umuntu wenu mgona wawuweriti wankuharibisiwa kwa matamata zyakuwi mpayikiru.
23 And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
Mnyawi syayi ya murohu na mmaholu genu.
24 And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
Mvali ntambu ya syayi ya umuntu gambira muntu yakavala nguwu ndoyeni yiumbwa kwa mfanu gwa Mlungu na ndoyeni ililanguziya mumakaliru ga nakaka ga kumfiriziya Mlungu na unanagala.
25 Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Hangu, mleki mpayu, kila yumu kafiruwa kumgambira mlongu myaguwi unakaka toziya kila yumu gwetu kashiwungiru sha nshimba ya Kristu.
26 Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
Handa pamkalala, namjumira maya genu gawatendi mtendi vidoda na namlikala na maya mpaka paguzyeta mshenji.
27 Neither giue place to the deuill.
Namumpa Shetani lupenyu,
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.
Yakaweriti kankwiwa, nakiwa kayi, kumbiti kanji kutenda lihengu liheri kwa mawoku gakuwi kapati kuwera na shintu sha kulitanga mweni na kumtanga muntu muhushu.
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.
Visoweru vidoda navipikinika nakamu pakati penu, kila mala visoweru vyenu viweri viherepa na vyeni vinyawa na kuwatanga wamonga, su viwanemeziyi wantu wenu yawapikinira.
30 And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
Namumuhinginiziya Rohu Mnanagala gwa Mlungu toziya Rohu ayu ndo shilanguliru sha Mlungu kwa mwenga kuwera mwenga mwawantu wakuwi na shilanguziwu kuwera lishaka liza ndopeni Mlungu hakawalekiziyi.
31 Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
Su, mlekani kulikalalirana shuki na mleki maya na mleki umatu na mleki kwigilanga na mleki kila ukondola!
32 Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.
Muweri na moyu muheri kwa kila yumu gwenu na muweri na lusungu na kila yumu kamlekiziyi myaguwi handa Mlungu ntambu yakawalekiziya mwenga kwa njira ya Kristu.
