Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called,
Kwa ele, Katya mfungwa kwajia ya Bwana, nikabhasii mgendai sawasawa ni bhuito bhwa K'yara waabhakutili.
2 With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
Muishiayi kiunyenyekevu ubhaa ni upole ni uvumilivu, mkajitolenayi kup'etela upendo.
3 Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Mketai kibidii kutunza umonga wa Roho kup'etela kifungu Kya imani.
4 One body and one Spirit; as you are 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 above 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 every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.
wa kila mmonga bhitu apelibhu kipawa kulengana ni kipawa kya Kristu.
8 Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.
Ndo kujo mayandiku kaghijobha:”Paapumbulukai panana sana, alonguisi mateka mu utumwa. Apisili nghofo kwa bhanu.”
9 Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first 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 also that ascended 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 gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors,
Kristu apisili vipawa kama e'fe: mitume, manabii, bhainjilisti, bhachungaji, ni bhalimu.
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for 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 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;
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 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.
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 doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even 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, 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.
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 then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles 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 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.
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 despairing, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
Bhakajipeleka hee soni. Bhajikabisi bhene kiufisadi kup'etela matendo manofu hee, kup'etela kila aina ya uchoyo.
20 But you have not so learned Christ;
Ila na heekamjifunzili kuhusu Kristu.
21 If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:
N'lizani ya kuwa mpeliki kuhusu muene.
22 To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.
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 be renewed in the spirit of your mind:
ulai utu bhuinu was muandi ya kuwa mfanywai kabhele kiroho sa akili sinu.
24 And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
Mketai na ili mubhwesyai kufuala utu kabhele, wawiendana ni K'yara. ubhombibhu kihaki ni kiutakatifu wa ukueli.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak; ye the truth every man with his neighbour; for 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 sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
Muyelai ni ligoga, ila msibhombi thambi.
27 Give not place to the devil.
Msimpemi ibilisi nafasi.
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.
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 evil speech proceed from your mouth; but that which is good, to the edification of faith, that it may administer grace to the hearers.
Kauli ibaya isihomeli mu sinywa fhinu. Badala yaki malobhi ghaghipita mufinywa fhinu ghaghifaa ki mahitaji kubhapeta faida bhala yabhipelekesya.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto 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 anger, and indignation, and clamour, and blasphemy, be put away 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 ye kind one to another; merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.
Muyela ni huruma. Mjisameheayi yhomo kwa yhomo, Katya K'yara kup'etela Kristu kaabhasamehili muenga.
