Ephesians 4
1 As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:
Antele nkashile yagaliliwe hwa jili ya Gosi, embalabhe mjende shinzashinza na uwite ambao Ungolobhe abhakwizizwe.
2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
Mukhale esha wishindishe eshi Gosi no hogowe no ujimbi. Mwejelanaje esha ganane.
3 and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Umbaji ajimbizwe na bheshe umoja uwe Roho katieshefungo eshe lyeteho.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
Huli ubele gume ne Roho emo neshe shamli antele mwali mkwiziwe eshi uhakika upambamle umo uwewite wenyu.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Ugosi aliumo ulyeteho lumo, ulwuzwo lumo. Ungolobhe omo
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
na uBaba wabhonti. Umwahale we mambo gonti na gonti gali mhati yakwe.
7 Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Shilo muntu apewewe eshipawa afwatane neshipimo esha pawa esha Kristi.
8 This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
Neshe nsimbo shaziyanga: “Alushile amwanya eshi alogozwezwe abhe pinywe uwe utumwa. Afumizi evipawa wa bhantu.”
9 What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
Yenu emana ya, “Alushe,” isipokuwa ahishile epande zwonti ezwa pasi pa dunia?
10 He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
Umwahule ahishile yoyola umuntu ambaye nantele alushile patali juu ye mwanya zwonti. Abhombile esho ili abhehwakwe uwe kati evintu vyonti.
11 And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
Kristi afumizwe evipawa kama neshe asontizi akuwa abhanjilisti, adimi, amwalimwa.
12 to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
Abhombile eshe abhawezeshe abhalyeteho ili embombo eyuzeje ubele ugwa Kristi.
13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.
Abhomba eshi hadi ate tenti tifishile undwemo uwe lyeteho na amaalifa aga mwana wakwe Ungolobhe. Abhombile esho hadi tiwezwe akhome neshe bhala bhabhafishie ekimo kamili esha Kristi.
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.
Ene antele tigaje bhebhana tigaje ruswe ruswe ohu no hwo ili tigaje ahwegwe na kila aina eye hala elyefundisho, age hila ezwa bhantu hu njelenje uwa khopehanye wautejile.
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
Eshi tiyanje elyoli eye lugano nakule zayidi hwidala lyonti mhati yakwe itwe yo Kristi.
16 From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.
Kristi abhonganisizwe pandwemo ubele ugwa bhoziwa guunganisiwe ubele gwonti gukwe nazenjeshe gwogwo hulugano.
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
Antale eyanga eli, embalabha hwa Gosi: Mgaje ajende antele neshe abhantu abhamataifa wabhajenda muubatiuli uwenjele zwao.
18 They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.
Bhaponyizwe enkisi museo zwao bhatagwilwe afume huwomi uwa Ngolobhe hulema wauli mhati yao kwa sabu ya ukhome uwe moyo gao.
19 Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more.
Sebha hwiyovwa esoni bhahwikabizizwe bhebho huntavu humatendo gao age ntavu, kila aina ya uwimi.
20 But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
Nantele eshi seshasho shamwanyiye ahusu Kristi.
21 Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
Elola antele mwovzwe ahusu umwahale elola aje mwali mmanyiziwa hwamwahale neshe elyoli yilimuhati ya Yesu.
22 to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
Lazima mwaule amambo gonti gagajendelela ne njendelelo zweyu ezwe mwaha, uuntu uwemwaha uuntu uwemwaha waubhola afwate ne tamaa ezwe hopelo.
23 to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
Auli untu wenyu uwemwaha ili nkaombwe shipya huroho eye njele zwenyu.
24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Bhombi eshe muwezwalane no Ngolobhe. Ubhombwelwe hehaki eye uzelu uwe lyoli.
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
Eshi bheshi patali ukhopelaji. “Yangaji elyoli, shila muntu no jirani wakwe,” afwanaje tili bhaputi aje shila munti hwa wamwao.
26 “Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
Mbhaje ne nguru, lelo mgayejeswe sumlinazwe nguru zwenyu.
27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
Mganje hupele usetano moyo.
28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.
Yeyonti yahwibha lazima gajewibhe antele. Badala yakwe lazima abhombe embombo. Abhombe ambombo efaida humakhono gakwe ili awezwe humwavwe umuntu yalineshida.
29 Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.
Ekauli embibhi egaje afume mumalomo genyu. Badala yakwe enongwa lazima gafume mumalomu genyu abhapele efaida bhala bhabhahavwa.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Nantele mgaje hunkungubhazwe Roho ufije uwa Ngolobhe hwa mwahale mubhehwelye muwaule hunsiku eye waule.
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.
Lazima mubheshe hutali ukhali wonti, nelyoyo ne nkuni ibho na endigo pandwemo na shila namna eye mbibhi bhaji bhinza mwemwe hwa mwemwe.
32 Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
Mubhanje ne huruma msajilana je mwemwe hwa mwemwe, neshe shila Ungolobhe ashilile Kristi shabha sajiye amwe.
