Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
Pauluo, heene n'kunguavwimila u Mutwa, nikuvasuma mughendelelaghe ndavule ng'emelo jino u Nguluve alya vakemelile.
2 With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
Mukulaghe nu vwoghofi mu vuhugu nulugudo. Kupindilanila n'kate mulughano.
3 Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Mulolelanilaghe ni ngufu kulolela uvumo vwa Mhepo muvukungua uvwa lutengano.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
Kuli m'bili ghumo ku Mhepo jumo, ndavule mulyale mukemelilue muvwa kyang'haani uvwa lughulilo lumo ulwa ulwa ng'emelelo jinu.
5 There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
Kange kwale u Ntua jumo, ulwofugho lumo,
6 One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
nu Nguluve jumo ghwe Nhaata ghwa vooni. Umwene alipakyanya pa sooni iisi, na kusooni isi na mun'kate mu ku sooni.
7 But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Kwa muunhu ghweni mulyusue apelilue ikipelua kuling'ana nikighelelo ikya kipelua ikya Kilisite.
8 Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
Ndavule amalembe ghijova: “Pano alyatoghile ku kyanya kyongo, alyalongwisie ava galulu muvukami. Akahumia ifipelua ku vaanhu.”
9 (Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
Kwekuuti kiki iisi, “Alyatoghile,” neke looli alikile kange pasi pa iisi?
10 Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
Umwene juno alikile ghwe mwene julajula juno kange alyatoghile kuvutali kukyanya kuvulanga vwooni. Alyavombile n'diki ulwakuuti uvuvaha vwa mweene vuvisaghe mu finu fyooni.
11 Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
U Kilisite alya humisie ifipelua ndavule ifi: avasung'ua, avaviili, avainjilisiti, avadiimi nava vulanisi.
12 For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
Alyavombile vulevule kukuvatanga avitiki vwimila vwa mbombo ija vuvombi, vwimila vwa kuvuvujenga um'biili ghwa Kilisite.
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,
Ivomba n'diki kuhanga usue tweeni tufikile uvumo vwa lwitiko nhuvu mang'anyi vwa mwana ghwa Nguluve. Ivomba vulevule mpaaka tukangale ndavule vaala vano valyafikile ikyimo kino kikwiline ikya Kilisite.
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.
Ulu kwekuuti tulekaghe kuuva heene vaana, natungapululusivwaghe kuno nakula. Ulwakuuti tuleke pitolua ni mhepo sisino sivisaghe sa mbulanisio, nigiilabsa vaanhu mumanjughulu gha vudesi vuno vusoveleng'ine.
15 But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
Palwene uluo tujovaghe uvwakyang'haani mulughano na kukula kyoongo mu siila sooni n'kate mwa mweene juno ghwe muutu, u Kilisite.
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.
U Kilisite adumining'inie, palikimo u m'biili ghwooni ughwa vitiki. Ghulunginisivue palikimo nifipelua fyooni ulwakuuti um'biili ghwoni ghukule napikujenga gwene mulughano.
17 This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
Pauluo, nijova iili, nikuvasuma mwa Mutwa: Namulaghendagha kange heene vaanhu vapanji fino vighenda muvugalusi vwa luhala luvanave.
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:
Vakapikilue ni ng'iisi mumasaghe gha vanave. Vadaghilue vwumi vwa Nguluve muvuyasu vuno vulin'kate muvanave ulwakuva vwimila uvwumi vwa moojo ghavanave.
19 Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
Navikupulika isooni. Vitavwile veene kuvunyali mu mbombo inyali, mulwa vugheji vwooni.
20 But yee haue not so learned Christ,
Looli, nafyelulivuo ndavule mulumanyile vwimila u Kilisite.
21 If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
Nakuva kuuti mupulike umwene. Nakuva kuuti mukale mumanyila mwa mweene, ndavule uvwa kyang'ani vulivuo vwimila u Yesu.
22 That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
Luvanoghile mufunyaghe sooni sino silutana nulughendo lwiinu ulwa pakali, uvumuunhu uvwa pakali, uvumuunhu vwa pakali vuno vuvola vwimila vwa vunoghelua vwa vudesi.
23 And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
Mufulaghe uvumuunhu uvwa pakali ulwakuuti muvombeke vupia munumbula sa luhala lwinu.
24 And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
Muvombaghe vulevule ulwa kuuti mukagule kufwala uvumuunhu uvupia, vuno vulutana nu nguluve vupelilue muvwakyang'aani nu vwimike vwa kyang'ani.
25 Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Pa uluo, vikagha kutali nuvudesi. “Jovagha uvwa kyang'aani umuunhu ghweni nhu m'bading'ani ghwa mwene,” ulwakuva tulivahangilanisi umuunhu ghweni kwa junge.
26 Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
Muvisaghe ni ng'alasi, looli na mungavombaghe inyivi,” Ilijuva nalingasemaghe mujighe ni ng'alasi siinu.
27 Neither giue place to the deuill.
Namungam'pelaghe uvwelefu u setano.
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.
Ghweni juno ihija anoghile kuhija kange. Pa uluo anoghile avombaghe imbombo. Avombaghe imbombo inyaluvumbulilo na mavoko gha mwene, ulwakuuti akagule pikun'tanga umuunhu juno aghilue.
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.
Injovele imbiivi najingajighaghe mumulomo ghwinu. Pa uluo amasio ghanoghile pihuma mumalomo ghiinu ghano ghanoghile kusino silondeka, kukuvapela uluvumbulilo vala vano vipulikisia.
30 And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
Mulampelelagha kusukunala u Mhepo Mwimike ghwa Nguluve kwa mwene kuuti mukanyilue umuhuri vwila vwa kighono ikya vupoki
31 Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
Lunoghile pikuluvika patali uvuvafi vwooni, ing'alasi, ilyoojo, amabatu, namaligho, palikimo nuvuhosi vuno vuli pa pinga.
32 Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.
Muvisaghe nulusungu. Musaghilanilaghe jumue kwa jumue, ndavule u Nguluve mwa Kilisite avasaghile umue.
