Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,
Minu Polo, ndidi mu nloko mu diambu di Pfumu ndikululeba, ludiatila mu khadulu yifuanikini ayi mbila yoyo kalutedila.
2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Bika luba batu bazebi kukikulula; badi nlembami ayi mvibudulu. Bika, mu luzolo, kadika mutu kazaba kanga ntima mu diambu di ndiandi.
3 giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Lunuana ngolo mu keba kithuadi mu Pheve Yinlongo, mu nzila yi ndembama.
4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;
Nitu yidi yimosi kaka ayi Pheve yidi yimosi kaka. Bobuawu Nzambi wulutela ku diana dimosi.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Pfumu yidi yimosi kaka, minu kidi kimosi kaka ayi mbotokolo yidi yimosi kaka.
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
Nzambi widi wumosi kaka, niandi dise di babo, wunyadilanga batu boso, wunsalanga mu babo ayi widi mu babo.
7 But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Vayi kadika mutu mu beto wutambula nlemvo boso bubela dikaba di Klisto.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.
Diawu katubila: Bu kakuma ku Diyilu, wunata basi nloko ayi wuvana batu makaba.
9 (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Vayi diambu diadi: wukuma ku Diyilu buevi dinsundula e? Dinsundula wutuama kuluka kuna tsi ntoto.
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Mutu wowo wukuluka, niandi kuandi wukuma ku yilu vioka diyilu mu diambu kawesa bima bioso.
11 And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Bila niandi wuvana dikaba kuidi bankaka mu ba bamvuala, bankakamimbikudi, bankaka minsamuni mi Nsamu Wumboti, bankaka mimvungi ayi bankaka minlongi.
12 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:
Wuvanga buawu mu diambu di fuanisa banlongo mu sala kisalu kiawu ayi mu diambu di thungulu yi nitu yi Klisto;
13 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
nate beto boso tuela tula mu kithuadi kimosi mu minu ayi mu zaba bumboti Muana Nzambi ayi mu tula mu tezo ki mutu wuyunduka; mutu wowo wudedikini mu khudulu yiduka yi Klisto.
14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
Buna tulendi buela ba bana balezi ko, bobo bannatungu ayi bandiengosongo kuidi yoso-yoso pheve yi malongi meti singimina mu luvunulu batu ayi mu diela diawu di mbimbi di sadila zinzila zimbimbi mu diambu di zimbisa batu.
15 but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, which is the head, [even] Christ;
Vayi beto zingilanga boso buididi mu luzolo, buna tuela yunduka mu mamo nate kuidi Klisto; niandi ntu wu Dibundu.
16 from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in [due] measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.
Mu niandi nitu yimvimba yidi yiyikakana ayi yibundana bumboti mu madikulu madi mu nitu. Buna kadika nama bu kieti sala kisalu kiandi mu bufuana, nitu yimvimba yilembo yunduka ayi yilembo tungu yawu veka mu luzolo.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Tala diambu ndikulukamba ayi ndibuela vutudila mu Pfumu ti: lubika buela diatila banga Bapakanu, banlandakananga mayindu mawu ma buvungisi
18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart;
ayi diela diawu didi mu tombi. Diawu badidi banzenza mu luzingu lu Nzambi mu diambu di buvulu buidi mu bawu, buntotukilanga mu mintimamiawu midi banga matadi.
19 who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Bazimbisa mambu moso momo ma kimutu; bakiyekula mu vanganga mambuma tsoni mu diambu bavanga mambu moso masumuka ma phila mu phila.
20 But ye did not so learn Christ;
Vayi buawu ko beno lulongukila Klisto.
21 if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
Bila beno lusudika mambu momo batuba mu diambu diandi ayi momo balulonga mu niandi mu phila yi mambu ma kiedika madi mu Yesu.
22 that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, which waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
Buna lubika nzingulu eno yi khulu, luloza kimutu kieno kikhulu kiokizinzinunu zi luvunu zilembo bivisa.
23 and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Vayi lukituka bamona mu pheve yi diela dieno.
24 and put on the new man, which after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Bika luvuata mutu wumona, wuvangulu boso bubela mayindu ma Nzambi, mu busonga ayi mu bunlongo bu kiedika.
25 Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Diawu lubika vunasana beno na beno, vayi, bika kadika mutu katuba mambu ma kiedika kuidi ndiandi, bila beto boso tuidi binama bi nitu yimosi.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Enati fuema lufuemini, lukeba tala luedi vola masumu; lubika lunda nganzi nate va masika.
27 neither give place to the devil.
Lubika vana satana diluaku.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.
Mutu wowo wubedi yibanga bika kabika buivi; vayi bika kasala ayi kasala mu mioko miandi kisalu kioki kidi kifuana mu diambu kabakabiobi kafueti kabudila bobo badi basukama.
29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.
Bika mambu mambimbi mabika totukila mu miunu mieno. Vayi momo kaka madi mamboti, mafueni mu tunga minu boso buididi zitsatu ziawu mu diambu mamonisa mamboti kuidi batu bobo balembo wa mawu.
30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.
Lubika monisa pheve Yinlongo yi Nzambi kiadi bila mu Pheve beni Nzambi katudila dimbu kiandi mu beno mu diambu di lumbu ki khudulu.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:
Bika mambu ma ndudi, ma kikhesi, ma nganzi ayi ma yamikinina, ma mfingulu mabotuka mu beno va kimosi ayi mambu mamo mambimbi.
32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.
Bika kadika mutu kamonika mutu wumboti kuidi ndiandi; lumonasanangakiadi, lulemvukilanga badieno banga bobo Nzambi kalulemvukila mu Klisto.
