Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called,
Kulwejo, lwo mubhohya ingulu ya Latabhugenyi, enibhasabhwa mulibhate amwi lwakutyo mwabhilikiwe na Nyamuanga.
2 With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
Mwikale kwo bhwololo bhunene no kwikeya no kwigumilisha.
3 Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Mukole kwa managa okubhika obhumwi bhwo Mwoyo mu kubhohya kwo mulembe.
4 One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling.
Gulio omubhili gumwi no Mwoyo gumwi, lwakutyo ona yaliga mubhilikihye mukwiikanya kwo kubhilikilwa kwemwe.
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
Alio Latabhugenyi umwi, elikilisha limwi, obhubhatijwa bhumwi,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.
na Nyamuanga umwi na Latabhugenyi wa bhona. Omwene ali ingulu ya bhyona, katula mubhyona munda ya bhyona.
7 But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.
Kwa bhuli umwi weswe ayanibhwe echigongo okulubhana na indengo ye chigongo cha Kristo.
8 Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.
Nilwakutyo amandiko agaika: Ejile agenda ingulu muno, atangasishe jingwatwa mu bhugaya. Nasosha ebhiyanwa ku bhanu.”
9 Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Niki obhugajulo bhwa, “Alinyile,” Tali ati ekile mbala jona je chalo?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Omwene unu ekile ni munu oyo oyo unu alinyile ingulu muno kukila lwile lwona. Akolele kutya okubhao kwae kubheo kubhinu bhyona.
11 And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors,
Kristo asosishe ebhiyanwa lwa bhinu: jintumwa, abhalagi, abhalasi bhe bhisango bhyo bhwana, abhalefi, na bheigisha.
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Akolele kutya okubhakola abhekilisha kwo kufulubhenda, kulwokugumbaka omubhili gwa Kristo.
13 Until we all meet into the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ;
Kakola kutya okukinga eswe bhona chikingile obhumwi bwe likisha no bhwengeso bhwo mwana wa Nyamuanga. Kakola kutya okukinga chibhone okukomela lwa bhanu bhakingile mundengo yo kukumila mu Kristo.
14 That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive.
Inu ni kutya chitaja kubha lindi bhana, chitaja kuingisibhwa ingisibhwa enu neyo. Koleleki ati chitaja kugegwa bhuli muyaga gwa meigisho, kwo bhwengebwenge bhwa bhanu no bhujigijigi bhunu bhutasikene.
15 But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:
Nawe chaikega, echimali mu lyenda no kukula muno munjila jona munda ya unu ali mutwe, Kristo.
16 From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.
Kristo agwatanyishe, kwa amwi, omubhili gwona ogwabhekilisha. Gugwatanyibhwe amwi na bhuli bhiungo koleleki mubhili gwona gukule no kwiyumbaka ogwene mulyenda.
17 This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,
Kulwejo, enaika linu, na enibhasabha mu Latabhugenyi: Mutalibhataga lindi lwa bhanu bha bhanyamahanga lwa kutyo abhalibhata mubhugayuke bho bhiganilisha bhwebhwe.
18 Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts.
Bhatelewemo echisute mubhwiganilisha bhwebhwe. Bhabhilimibhwe okusoka mubhuanga bhwa Nyamuanga kwo bhumumu bhunu bhuli munda yebhwe kulwainsonga yo bhukomee bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
19 Who despairing, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
Bhatakubhona nswalo. Bhegwatanyishe abhene mu bhujabhi mu bhikolwa bhijabhi, na bhuli chinu cho mutubho.
20 But you have not so learned Christ;
Nawe, tikwo kutyo mweigiye ingulu ya Kristo.
21 If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Enitogelati mwonguhye ingulu yae. Enitogelati mwaliga nimwiigisibhwa mumwene, lwakutyo echimali chili munda ya Yesu.
22 To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.
Nibhusibhusi mufule amagambo gona ganu agalubhilila akagendee kemwe akakala, bhumunu bhwa kala. Ni bhumunu bhwa kala bhunu obhubhola kwainsonga yo okuligila no bhujigijigi.
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind:
Mufule bhumunu bhwemwe obhwakala koleleki mukolwe bhuyaya emyoyo jo bhwiganilisha bhwemwe.
24 And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
Mukole kutyo mubhone okufwala bhumunu obhuyaya, bhunu obhugendana na Nyamuanga. Umogelwe mubhulengelesi no bhwelu bhwe chimali.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak; ye the truth every man with his neighbour; for we are members one of another.
Kulwejo, mute kula okujigajiga.”Mulome echimali, bhuli munu no mwikashanya wae,” kulwainsonga chili bhamwi kubhuli munu kuwejabho.
26 Be angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
Mubhe na lisungu, nawe mutakola bhikayo.” Lisubha nilitubhila muli mwi sungu lyemwe.
27 Give not place to the devil.
Mutamuyana Omusoko omwanya.
28 He that stole, let him now steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.
Wona wona unu kebha nibhusibhusi asige okwibha lindi. Jimwiile akole emilimu. Akole emilimu jinu jili jobhwana mumabhoko gae, koleleki atule okumsakila unu ali mukene.
29 Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth; but that which is good, to the edification of faith, that it may administer grace to the hearers.
Amagambo amajabhi gasige kusoka mukanwa kemwe. Tali, amagambo gasoke mukanwa kemwe ganu geile ku mukene, ngabhayana echigongo bhanu abhategelesha.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Na mutaja kumujubhya Omwoyo Mwelu wa Nyamuanga. Nikumwene ati mwatehyeko olunyamo ingulu yo olusiku lwo kuchungulwa.
31 Let all bitterness, and anger, and indignation, and clamour, and blasphemy, be put away from you, with all malice.
Nibhusibhusi mute kula lisungu lyona, no kubhiililwa, lilemo, na mafumo, amwi na bhuli chinu cho bhujabhi. Mubhe bhafula emwe kwe mwe.
32 And be ye kind one to another; merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.
Mubhe no bhwila. Mwiswalililane emwe kwe mwe, lwakutyo Nyamuanga mu Kristo kutyo abheswaliliye emwe.
