Ephesians 4
1 I, the prisoner in [the] Lord, exhort you therefore to walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye have been called,
Ku lulo, anga mutungwa kunsoko a Mukulu, kumusinja mugende kuniganiila nu witangwi naza Itunda umitangila.
2 with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love;
Mikie ku kutuna pihi nu ukulu nu upolo nu ugimya. Muzi hooeela mu ulowa.
3 using diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace.
Itumi ku kinyangulu kuuika u ung'wi nua ng'wau ngwelu mu kitungo nika ulyuuku.
4 [There is] one body and one Spirit, as ye have been also called in one hope of your calling;
Ukoli muili ung'wi nu ng'wau ng'welu ung'wi, anga nai iza matuilee ga mitangilwe nu kulukuulu na upoeelya ling'wi ni la witangwi nu anyu.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Hangi ukoli mukulu ung'wi, uhuiili ung'wi wogigwa ung'wi.
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
Hangi Itunda ung'wi hangi Tata nua ihi. Ung'wenso ukoli migulya a ihi. ung'wenso ukoli migulya a ihi, nu mukati a ihi.
7 But to each one of us has been given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Christ.
Ku kila ung'wi nu itu winkii igwe u uhumi u uhumi kuniganiila ni ngele a uhumi nu ang'wa Kristo.
8 Wherefore he says, Having ascended up on high, he has led captivity captive, and has given gifts to men.
Inge anga u ukilisigwa nu uligitilye: “Nai ulumile migulya nangulu, ai uatongee i a holwa mu utungwaa, akapumya u uhumi ku antu''.
9 But that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Inge ntuni indogoelyo a ''Ai ulumile'' Kwa ala kinga ai usimile ga ni nkika nia pihi nia ihi?
10 He that descended is the same who has also ascended up above all the heavens, that he might fill all things;
Nuanso nai iza ai usimile inge muntu yuyo yuyoo niiza ga ai ulumile migulya a ilunde lihi. ai witumile izi iti u ukoli nu akwe utule mu intu yihi.
11 and he has given some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some shepherds and teachers,
U Kristo ai upumilye u uhumi anga itii: atung'waa, anyakidagu, ainjilisti, adimi ni a ng'walimu.
12 for the perfecting of the saints; with a view to [the] work of [the] ministry, with a view to the edifying of the body of Christ;
Ai witumile izi kua aiilya i ahuiili kunsoko a milimo ni a uaiilya, kunsoko a kuuzenga muili nu ang'wa Kristo.
13 until we all arrive at the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at [the] full-grown man, at [the] measure of the stature of the fulness of the Christ;
Ukituma izi kupikiila u sese kihi ku pikiile u ug'wi nua uhuiili nu uhungu nua ng'wana wang'wa Itunda. Ukituma izi kuhume kung'adila anga awo ni apikiie u unyansuku nu ukondaniie nu angwa Kristo.
14 in order that we may be no longer babes, tossed and carried about by every wind of that teaching [which is] in the sleight of men, in unprincipled cunning with a view to systematized error;
Iki inge iti kina kuleke kutula hangi anga ang'yinya, kuleke kiputigwa kunu nuko, Iti kina kina kuleke kuholwa ni kila mpyani a ng'wega nua umanyisigwa, ku ulugu nua antu mu uhugu nua ukongelwa nu ulimie.
15 but, holding the truth in love, we may grow up to him in all things, who is the head, the Christ:
Badala akwe, kutambule i tai mu ulowa nu kukila kukilinkiila mu nzila yihi mukati akwe niiza yuyo itwe, u Kristo.
16 from whom the whole body, fitted together, and connected by every joint of supply, according to [the] working in [its] measure of each one part, works for itself the increase of the body to its self-building up in love.
Kristo ukaminkaniilye, ku palung'wi, muili wihi nua uhuiili, ukaminkanigwe palung'wi ni kila nungo iti kina muili wihi ukule nu kizenga u wenso mu ulowa.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in [the] Lord, that ye should no longer walk as [the rest of] the nations walk in [the] vanity of their mind,
Ku lulo kuligitya ili, hangi kumusinja mu Mukulu muleke kugenda hangi anga antu a mahi ni akugenda mu shanga ilu nua mahala ao.
18 being darkened in understanding, estranged from the life of God by reason of the ignorance which is in them, by reason of the hardness of their hearts,
Akitiwe kiti mu masigo ao. Azunsigwe kupuma mu upanga nu ang'wi Itunda ku upungu nu ukkoli mukati ao kunsoko a ukaku nua nkolo ni ao.
19 who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust.
Shanga ijaa i minyala. Ilekee akola ku ulaku mu ntendo ni nshapu, mu kila mpyani nia ubii nua nkolo.
20 But ye have not thus learnt the Christ,
Ku iti, Izi shanga ai mumanyisilye kutula u kristo.
21 if ye have heard him and been instructed in him according as [the] truth is in Jesus;
Nsigile kina migulye kutula ng'wenso. Nsigile kina matuilee mukumanyisigwa mu ng'wenso, anga udu i tai ni koli mukati ang'wa Kristo.
22 [namely] your having put off according to the former conversation the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts;
Kusinja mutugule imakani ihi na kigendi nu lugendo ni lanyu nu la kali, inge untu nua kali, nu i olaa kunsoko a nsila nia ukongelwa.
23 and being renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Tuguli u untu nuanyu nua kali iti kina muzipigwe apya mu nkolo ni mahala anyu.
24 and [your] having put on the new man, which according to God is created in truthful righteousness and holiness.
Itumi izi iti muhume kutugala untu upya, nu itongile ni Itunda, Uumbilwe mu tai ane nu welu nua tai.
25 Wherefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another.
Kululo, uikie kuli u ukongelwa, ''Ligityi itai, kila ung'wi nu munyakisali nu akwe'' kunsoko udu ki anyamuhangu ku kila ung'wi ku miakwe.
26 Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath,
Mutule ni ikuo, ku iti muleke kituma umulandu'' i lyoa lileke kuhaiila ize mukoli mimkuo ni lanyu.
27 neither give room for the devil.
Leki kuminkiilyi u mulugu i lyoma.
28 Let the stealer steal no more, but rather let him toil, working what is honest with [his] hands, that he may have to distribute to him that has need.
Wihi nuiaa kusinja nualeke kia hangi. Badala akwe inge kusinja witume mulimo. Witume i milimo ni kete i nsailo ku mikono akwe, iti kina ahume kumuaiilya u muntu nu kete u lwinzo.
29 Let no corrupt word go out of your mouth, but if [there be] any good one for needful edification, that it may give grace to those that hear [it].
Ntambu ni mbii ileke kupuma mu malangu anyu. Badala akwe, imakani kusinja apume mu malangu na nonee ku lwinzo. Kuinkiilya nsailo awo niategeeye.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which ye have been sealed for [the] day of redemption.
Hangi leki kumuhumyi i kinya uwai u ng'wau ng'welu nu ang'wi Itunda. Inge ku ng'wenso kina maikiigwe ugomola ku nsoko a mahiku na ugunwa.
31 Let all bitterness, and heat of passion, and wrath, and clamour, and injurious language, be removed from you, with all malice;
Kusinja muuike kuli u wai wihi, u utaki, ikuo, wilea. ituki, palung'wi ni kila mpyani nia ubii, Tuli miakende unyenye ku nyenye.
32 and be to one another kind, compassionate, forgiving one another, so as God also in Christ has forgiven you.
Mutule nu iaisa. Milekele unyenye ku nyenye, anga lilo Itunda mu ng'wa kristo nai umulekee unyenye.
