Ephesians 4
1 I, the prisoner in [the] Lord, exhort you therefore to walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye have been called,
Kwa ele, Katya mfungwa kwajia ya Bwana, nikabhasii mgendai sawasawa ni bhuito bhwa K'yara waabhakutili.
2 with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love;
Muishiayi kiunyenyekevu ubhaa ni upole ni uvumilivu, mkajitolenayi kup'etela upendo.
3 using diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace.
Mketai kibidii kutunza umonga wa Roho kup'etela kifungu Kya imani.
4 [There is] one body and one Spirit, as ye have been also called in one hope of your calling;
Uye mbhele bhumo ni Roho yimo, Katya kujo kabhele mwakutibhu mu uhakika wa taraja yimo ya bhuito bhwinu.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Na ayele Bwana mmonga, imani yimo, ubatisu bhumo,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
ni K'yara yumo ndo Dadi watabhoa. Muene ayele panani pabhoa, ni kup'etela ghoa Ni mugati mwa ghoa.
7 But to each one of us has been given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Christ.
wa kila mmonga bhitu apelibhu kipawa kulengana ni kipawa kya Kristu.
8 Wherefore he says, Having ascended up on high, he has led captivity captive, and has given gifts to men.
Ndo kujo mayandiku kaghijobha:”Paapumbulukai panana sana, alonguisi mateka mu utumwa. Apisili nghofo kwa bhanu.”
9 But that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Ndo kiki maana ya, “Apumbuluiki,” yaibelili kuya kuwa aselili kabhele upande wa pasi wa dunia?
10 He that descended is the same who has also ascended up above all the heavens, that he might fill all things;
Muene yaaselili ndo munu yhola yola kabhele ndo Apumbuluiki panani pambingu syoa. Aketili naaili ili ya kuwa ubhuepo wa muene uyele mu fhenu fhoa.
11 and he has given some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some shepherds and teachers,
Kristu apisili vipawa kama e'fe: mitume, manabii, bhainjilisti, bhachungaji, ni bhalimu.
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;
Aketili naa ili kubhabhwezesya bhaumini kwajia ya mbhombho Ni huduma, kwajia ya kubhomba mbhele was Kristu.
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;
Iketa naa hadi henu tetetayele tabhoa tuufikilai ummonga wa imani ya maarifa ya bhuana wa K'yara. Iketa naa hadi tubhwesyai kusindamala katya bhala yabha fikili kimo kyene kya Kristu.
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;
Eye ndo kuwa tusiye kabhele kujo bhana, tusilushibhurushibhu okhobahi Ni okho. Yandabha tusitolibhu ni aina ya mphongo wa fundisho, kwa hila sabhanu ni ujanja wa kujikofya wa wipotosya.
15 but, holding the truth in love, we may grow up to him in all things, who is the head, the Christ:
Badala yaki tulalongela ukueli kup'etela upendo ni kukola zaidi kup'etela njela syoa mugati muake ambaye ndo mutu, Kristu.
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.
Kristu aunganishi, kwa pamonga, mbhele bhuoa wa bhaumini uunganisibhu pamonga ni kila kiungo ili ya kuwa mbhele bhuoa ukolai ni kujijenga muene kup'etela upendo.
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,
Kwa ele, nijobha ele na ni kabhasihi kup'etela Bwana: Msigendi kabhele kujo bhanu bhamataifa kabhigenda kup'etela ubatili wa akili sya bhene.
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,
Bhasopibhu kitita kup'etela mabhuaso gha bhene. Bhabhengibhu kuhomela mu usima wa K'yara kwa ujinga wa uyele mugati mwa bhene ndabha ya unono wa miteema ya bhene.
19 who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust.
Bhakajipeleka hee soni. Bhajikabisi bhene kiufisadi kup'etela matendo manofu hee, kup'etela kila aina ya uchoyo.
20 But ye have not thus learnt the Christ,
Ila na heekamjifunzili kuhusu Kristu.
21 if ye have heard him and been instructed in him according as [the] truth is in Jesus;
N'lizani ya kuwa mpeliki kuhusu muene.
22 [namely] your having put off according to the former conversation the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts;
Lazima mmbhosyai mambo ghoa ghaghiyendana ni mienendo yhinu ya muandi, utukufu na muandi. Ndo utu wa muandi ndo ubholili ndhabha ya tamaa sya kujikofana.
23 and being renewed in the spirit of your mind;
ulai utu bhuinu was muandi ya kuwa mfanywai kabhele kiroho sa akili sinu.
24 and [your] having put on the new man, which according to God is created in truthful righteousness and holiness.
Mketai na ili mubhwesyai kufuala utu kabhele, wawiendana ni K'yara. ubhombibhu kihaki ni kiutakatifu wa ukueli.
25 Wherefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another.
Kwa ele, bheka patali udesi. Mlongelai ukueli, kila mmonga ni jilani wa muene, kwa ndabha to bhashilika kwa kila mmonga ni kwa bhayinu.
26 Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath,
Muyelai ni ligoga, ila msibhombi thambi.
27 neither give room for the devil.
Msimpemi ibilisi nafasi.
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.
Yuoa yola yaiheja asiheji kabhele. Badala yaki abhomba mbhombho abhombai mbhombho yaiyele ni manufaa kwa kibhoko Kya muene, ili ndabha abhwesyai kunihudumila munu ya ayele ni lihitaji.
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].
Kauli ibaya isihomeli mu sinywa fhinu. Badala yaki malobhi ghaghipita mufinywa fhinu ghaghifaa ki mahitaji kubhapeta faida bhala yabhipelekesya.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which ye have been sealed for [the] day of redemption.
Na msihuzunishi Roho n'takatifu wa K'yara. Kwa muene ndabha mmbhekibhu mhuri kwajia ya magono gha ukombosi.
31 Let all bitterness, and heat of passion, and wrath, and clamour, and injurious language, be removed from you, with all malice;
Lasima mubhekai patali ligoga lyoa, ghazabu ligoga, ngondo, ni malighu, pamonga ni kila aina ya uovu. Iyela wema kwa yhomo ni yhomo.
32 and be to one another kind, compassionate, forgiving one another, so as God also in Christ has forgiven you.
Muyela ni huruma. Mjisameheayi yhomo kwa yhomo, Katya K'yara kup'etela Kristu kaabhasamehili muenga.
