Ephesians 5
1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,
Kulwejo mubhe bhanu bhwo kumulubha Nyamuanga, lwa bhana abhendwa.
2 and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.
Mulibhatile mulyenda, lwakutyo Kristo achendele eswe, esosishe omwene ingulu yeswe. Omwene abhee chisoshwa ne chogo, okubha bhulange bhwa kiss bhwo kumukondelesha Nyamuanga.
3 But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;
Obhulomesi no bhujabhi bhwona bhwona na inamba mbibhi itaikwa agati yemwe, lwakutyo ejendibhwa kubhekilisha, nolo amafululusho gataikwa,
4 and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.
emisango jo bhujabhi, nolo bhusegu bhwo kujimya, ganu gatali gakisi, nawe ibheewo insime.
5 For this ye are [well] informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.
Omutula okubha nechimali ati bhulio obhusiani, obhujabhi, nolo unu kaligila, oyo ni unu kalamya amasusano, atana mwandu gwona gwona mubhukama bhwa Kristo na Nyamuanga.
6 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Omunu wona wona atajakujiga kwa magambo gabhusa, kwa insonga ya magambo ya magambo ganu lisungu lya Nyamuanga elija ingulu ya bhana bhanu bhatakungwa.
7 Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them;
Kulwejo utaja kubha amwi nabho.
8 for ye were once darkness, but now light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light,
Kulwokubha emwe kubhwambilo mwaliga muli muchisute, nawe woli omwitaganya mu Latabhugenyi. Kulwejo mulibhatega lwa bhana bha mubhwelu.
9 (for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth, )
Kulwokubha amatwasho ga mubhwelu agakumanya obhwekisi bhwona, obhulengelesi ne chimali.
10 proving what is agreeable to the Lord;
Yenja chinu echikondelesha Latabhugenyi.
11 and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove [them],
Bhutaja kubhao bhusangisi kumilimu je chisute jinu jitana matwasho, nawe nujite abhwelu.
12 for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.
Kulwokubha amagambo ganu agakolwa nabho mubhwimbise nigokuswasha muno nolo okugasimula.
13 But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.
Amagambo gona, gakasululwa no bhwelu, agabha abhwelu,
14 Wherefore he says, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.
kulwokubha bhuli echinu chinu chisuluwe echibha mubhwelu. Kulwejo owaika kutiya,”Imuka, awe umamile, na imuka okusoka mubhafuye na Kristo kalabhangilya ingulu yao.”
15 See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,
Kulwejo mubhe nobhwenge kutyo omulibhata, mutabha lwa bhanu bhanu bhatana bhwenge nawe bhobhwenge.
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Mwichungulilega omwanya kulwokubha jinsikujinu nijo bhunyamuke.
17 For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord.
Mutaja kubha bhamumu, nawe, mumenye ati nilyenda lya Latabhugenyi.
18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,
Mutatamilaga kwo mulamba, ogutangasha mubhunyamuke, nawe mwijusibhwe no Mwoyo Omwelu.
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;
Mulomega bhuli umwi mwimwe kwa jijabhuli, nokukuya, na jinyimbo ja mumwoyo. Mwimbe na nimukuya kwo mwoyo ku Latabhugenyi.
20 giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Bhusibhusi musoshega isime kwe misango jona mwisina lya Kristo Yesu Latabhugenyi weswe ku Nyamuanga Lata.
21 submitting yourselves to one another in [the] fear of Christ.
Mwisoshega emwe abhene bhuli umwi kuundi kunsime ya Kristo.
22 Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
Abhagasi, mwisoshega kubhalume bhemwe, lwa Latabhugenyi.
23 for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. He [is] Saviour of the body.
Kulwainsonga omulume ni mutwe gwo mugasi, lwakutyo Kristo ali mutwe gwa likanisa. Ni muchungusi wo mubhili.
24 But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.
Nawe lwakutyo likanisa lili emwalo ya Kristo, kutyo kutyo abhagasi bhusi bhusi bhakole kutyo kubhalume bhebhwe bhuli musango.
25 Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,
Abhalume, mubhendega abhagasi bhemwe lwakutyo ona Kristo alyendele likanisa nesosha omwene ingulu yae.
26 in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word,
Akolele kutyo koleleki libhe lyelu. Ayeshe no kulyosha na manji mumusango.
27 that he might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.
Akolele kutyo koleleki abhone omwene likanisa lyechibhalo, linu litana esolo amwi na chona chinu echisusana necho, nawe ni lyelu litana chibhibhi.
28 So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.
Kulwainjila eyo eyo, abhalume abhendibhwa okubhenda abhagasi bhebhwe lwe mibhili jebhwe. Unu kamwenda omugasi wae keenda omwene.
29 For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:
Atalio naumwi unu katamangana no mubhili gwae. Nawe naguchumachuma no kugwenda, lwakutyo Kristo ona kutyo alyendele likanisa.
30 for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.]
Kulwokubha eswe chili amwi no mubhili gwae.
31 Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.
“Kulwainsonga inu omulume kamusiga esemwene na nyilamwene nibhagwatana no mugasi wae, nabhabhilikile abho nibhabha mubhili gumwi”.
32 This mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.
bhunu bhaliga bhuselekelwe. Nawe enaika ingulu ya Kristo na likanisa.
33 But ye also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife [I speak] that she may fear the husband.
Nawe, emwe bhuli umwi mwimwe nibhusibhusi amwende omugasi wae lwakutyo keenda omwene, no mugasi amugasega omulume wae.
