Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
Ke a lo kopa, nna yo ke leng legolegwa mo kgolegelong ka ntlha ya go direla Morena, gore lo tshele lo bo lo sepele ka fa tseleng e e tshwanetseng ba ba tlhophetsweng masego a mantle jaaka one a.
2 With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
Nnang boikokobetso le bonolo. Nnang pelotelele yo mongwe mo go yo mongwe, lo leke go iphapaanya ka lorato le diphoso tse lo ka di diralanang.
3 Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Lekang ka malatsi otlhe go gogwa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo, gore lo tle lo nne ka kagiso yo mongwe mo go yo mongwe.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
Rotlhe ditokololo tsa mmele o le mongwe fela, re na le Mowa o o tshwanang, bile rotlhe re bileditswe tsholofelo e e tshwanang e e galalelang.
5 There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
Morena wa rona o mongwe fela, tumelo e nngwe fela, kolobetso e nngwe fela,
6 One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
gape rotlhe re na le Modimo o le mongwe fela le Rara yo o re okameng rotlhe ebile a le mo go rona rotlhe, a bile a tshela mo tokololong nngwe le nngwe ya rona.
7 But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Le fa go ntse jalo, Keresete o neile mongwe le mongwe wa rona dinonofo tsa botlhokwa, sengwe le sengwe se a batlang gore re nne naso se tswa mo polokelong ya gagwe e e tletseng dimpho.
8 Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
Mopesalema o re bolelela kaga sone se, gonne a re erile fa Keresete a boela kwa legodimong a tletse boitumelo jwa phenyo morago ga tsogo ya gagwe mo baswing le go fenya Satane, o ne a naya batho dimpho tsa kutlwelo botlhoko.
9 (Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
Lemogang gore gatwe o ne a boela kwa legodimong. Mo go raya gore o simologile a tswa kwa legodimong, a fologela mo mafelong a a kwa tlase-tlase a lefatshe.
10 Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
Ene yo o fologileng e ntse ke ene yo o tlhatlogetseng gape kwa legodimong, gore sengwe le sengwe se tlale ene gongwe le gongwe, go tswa mo go se se kwa tlase go ya kwa go se se kwa godimo.
11 Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
Bangwe ba rona ba neetswe neo ya botlhokwa go nna baaposetoloi; ba bangwe o ba neile neo ya go rera sentle; ba bangwe ba na le neo ya botlhokwa ya go gapela batho mo go Keresete, ba ba thusa gore ba mo ikanye e le Mmoloki wa bone; mme ba bangwe ba na le neo ya go tlhokomela batho ba Modimo jaaka modisa a tlhokomela dinku tsa gagwe, a ba goga a bile a ba ruta ka ditsela tsa Modimo.
12 For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
Ke eng fa a re naya dineo tsa botlhokwa go dira dilo dingwe botoka? Ke ka ntlha ya gore batho ba Modimo ba tlaa nonotshiwa go mo direla tiro ka botswerere, ba aga phuthego, ebong mmele wa ga Keresete, go nna mo maemong a nonofo le tlhaloganyo e e tletseng,
13 Till we all meete together (in the vnitie of faith and that acknowledging of the Sonne of God) vnto a perfite man, and vnto the measure of the age of the fulnesse of Christ,
go fitlhelela lwa bofelo rotlhe re dumela ka go tshwana kaga poloko ya rona le kaga Mmoloki wa rona, Morwa Modimo, rotlhe re bo re gola ka botlalo mo Moreneng, ee, go fitlhelela re le mo selekanyong sa go tlala Keresete mo go senang pelaelo.
14 That we henceforth be no more children, wauering and caried about with euery winde of doctrine, by the deceit of men, and with craftines, whereby they lay in wait to deceiue.
Mme ga re kitla re tlhola re nna bana, re nna re fetola megopolo ya rona kaga se re se dumelang fela ka gore mongwe o re boleletse sengwe se se pharologanyo, kgotsa a re akeditse ka botlhale a dirile gore maaka a utlwale jaaka boammaaruri.
15 But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
Mo boemong jwa go fetola megopolo ya rona mo go se re se dumelang, re tlaa sala morago boammaaruri ka lorato ka dinako tsotlhe, re bua boammaaruri, re dira ka boammaaruri, re tshela ka boammaaruri, mo tseleng nngwe le nngwe re nna jaaka Keresete yo o leng Tlhogo ya mmele wa gagwe, ebong phuthego.
16 By whome al the body being coupled and knit together by euery ioynt, for ye furniture therof (according to the effectual power, which is in the measure of euery part) receiueth increase of the body, vnto the edifying of itselfe in loue.
Ka fa ketelellong ya pele ya gagwe mmele otlhe o kitlanye sentle, mme tokololo nngwe le nngwe mo tirong ya yone ya botlhokwa e thusa ditokololo tse dingwe gore mmele otlhe o itekanele o gole o bo a tlale lorato.
17 This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
Mmang ke bue jaana, ka go bua jalo ke buelela Morena: se tlholeng lo tshela jaaka ba ba sa bolokwang ba tshela, gonne ba foufaditswe ebile ga ba sa tlhole ba itse se e leng boammaaruri. Dipelo tsa bone tse di tswetsweng di tletse ka lefifi; ba kgakala thata le botshelo jwa Modimo gonne ba o tswaletse megopolo ya bone, mme ga ba kake ba tlhaloganya ditsela tsa one.
18 Hauing their vnderstanding darkened, and being strangers from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardnesse of their heart:
19 Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
Ga ba sa tlhole ba kgathala kaga tshiamo le bosula ebile ba ineetse mo ditseleng tse di makgapha. Ga ba tlogele sepe, ba dirisiwa ke megopolo ya bone e e bosula le dikeletso tsa bosutlha.
20 But yee haue not so learned Christ,
Mme ga se ka fa Keresete a lo rutileng ka teng!
21 If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
Fa e le gore tota lo utlwile lentswe la gagwe ebile lo ithutile mo go ene boammaaruri kaga gagwe,
22 That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
ke gone latlhang tlholego ya lona e kgologolo e e bosula, popego ya lona ya bogologolo e e neng e le mopati wa lona mo ditseleng tsa lona tse di bosula, e e bodileng go ya goileng, e tletse dikeletso le tsietso.
23 And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
Jaanong mekgwa le megopolo ya lona e tshwanetse go bo e fetogile botoka gangwe le gape.
24 And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
Ee, o tshwanetse go bo o le motho yo mosha yo o pharologanyo, o itshephile ebile o le molemo. Ikapese ka tlholego e ncha e.
25 Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Khutlisang go akelana; buang boammaaruri, gonne mongwe le mongwe wa rona ke tokololo ya yo mongwe mme fa re akelana re ikutlwisa botlhoko.
26 Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
Fa o kgopisegile, se dire sebe ka go boloka kutlo botlhoko ya gago mo pelong. Se letle gore letsatsi le phirime o santse o kgopisegile gore o lebale ka bonako;
27 Neither giue place to the deuill.
gonne fa o tenegile o neela diabolo maitsetsepelo a magolo.
28 Let him that stole, steale no more: but let him rather labour, and worke with his handes the thing which is good, that hee may haue to giue vnto him that needeth.
Fa mongwe a utswa a a go bakele, a simolole go dirisa mabogo ao a gagwe mo tirong ya boikanyego, gore a tle a abele ba bangwe ba ba tlhokang.
29 Let no corrupt comunication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good, to ye vse of edifying, that it may minister grace vnto the hearers.
Se bue matlhapa. Bua fela se se molemo ebile se na le thuso mo go ba o buang nabo, le se se tlaa ba segofatsang.
30 And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
Se futsafatseng Mowa O O Boitshepo ka tsela e lo tshelang ka yone. Gakologelwang, ke one o o supang kaga lona mo letsatsing leo fa poloko go tswa mo sebeng e tlaa bong e feletse.
31 Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
Khutlisang go nna bohula, pelo e e maswe le go nna bogale. Go omana, mafoko a kgakalo le kilano di se ka tsa nna mo matshelong a lona.
32 Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.
Mo boemong jwa moo ratanang, nnang pelonomi, lo itshwarelane, fela jaaka Modimo o lo itshwaretse gonne lo ba ga Keresete.
