Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, urge you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
Su, neni yanwera mtatilwa toziya numtendera Mtuwa, nuwaluwa mulikali makaliru yagafiruwa shemwa yamshemeritwi.
2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
Mashaka goseri muweri wananagala, wapoli na wantu wa kuhepera, mliheperani mwenga kwa mwenga kwa mafiliru.
3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Mgangamali kutula weri wumu wawujegwa na Rohu kwa kutenda ponga yayiwera pakati penu.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
Kwana nshimba yimu ya Kristu na Rohu yumu ntambu litumbiru lyamshemelitwi na Mlungu ndo limu.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Kwana Mtuwa yumu na njimiru yimu na ubatizu wumu,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
kwana Mlungu yumu ndo Tati gwa woseri, ndomweni Mtuwa gwa woseri yakatenda lihengu muvyoseri na kamuwoseri.
7 But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Na kila yumu gwetu kawankiti manemu ga lifupu ntambu ya shipimu shakapatiti kwa Kristu.
8 Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people."
Malembu ntambu yagalonga, “Pakanyasukiti kugenda kumpindi nentu Kawalonguziyiti walopolwa, Vilaa kawapananiti wantu mafupu.”
9 Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Vinu patulonga, “Kanyasukiti kugenda kumpindi” Kwana mana gaa? Mana yakuwi hangu, kasulukiti mpaka pasi nakamu pasipanu.
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Su ulii yakasulukiti pasipanu ndo ayu yakanyasukiti kugenda kumpindi kwa mpindi zyoseri su kavikamilishi vintu vyoseri.
11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Ndo mweni kawatenda wantu wamonga waweri wantumintumi na wamonga waweri wambuyi wa Mlungu na wamonga waweri wantu wa kushibwera Shisoweru Shiwagira na wamonga waweri walolera pamuhera na wafunda.
12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;
Katenditi hangu kapati kuwatandira wantu woseri wa Mlungu toziya ya lihengu lya utendera Washikritu su kuyinyawa nshimba ya Kristu,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature person, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
na hangu twoseri tuwufikiri uwumu munjimiru na kummana Mwana gwa Mlungu, pamuhera tuweri yawakula, kufikira ukamilika wakuwi Kristu mweni.
14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by cleverness in deceitful schemes;
Su hapeni tuweri kayi gambira wana, patwaswa na kugulusiwa aku na aku kwa kila liyega lya mafundu ga kuwapayira wantu, su wawahowiziyi wamonga.
15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;
Handa patuyowera unakaka kwa moyu gwa mafiliru, twenga hatukuli mukila shitwatira kulinganira na Kristu ndo mtuwi gwa wantu yawajimira.
16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
Pasi pa ulongoziwu wakuwi, viwungiru vyoseri vya nshimba vilikolerana pamuhera na nshimba yoseri ilitumbira kwa viwungiru vyakuwi. Su kila shiwungiru pashitenda lihengu lyakuwi ntambu yayifiruwa, nshimba yoseri ikula na kulinyawa mumafiliru.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the nations also walk, in the futility of their mind,
Su kwa litawu lya Mtuwa, nankuwabereziya, namulikala kayi gambira wantu yawammana ndiri Mlungu, ndoweni maholu gawu gahera mahala,
18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts;
na mahala gawu gawera muluwindu. Wakutali na ukomu yawulawa kwa Mlungu toziya ya uzigizigi yawuwera mngati mwawu na ukalipa wawu.
19 who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Wapotoka na wahera soni, waliyingiziya muwupayira, womberi watenda kwa lopulopu kila ntambu ya vitwatira vya soni.
20 But you did not learn Christ that way;
Kumbiti mwenga mlifunda hangu ndiri kuusu Kristu.
21 if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
Hashi, mwenga mupikanira ndiri kuusu Yesu? Nakaka mwenga mfunditwi kuusu yomberi kuwera unakaka wamungati mwakuwi.
22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
Su, mleki mwenendu gwenu gwa kwanja ntambu muntu yakavula nguwu yakuwi, yani umuntu wenu mgona wawuweriti wankuharibisiwa kwa matamata zyakuwi mpayikiru.
23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Mnyawi syayi ya murohu na mmaholu genu.
24 and put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Mvali ntambu ya syayi ya umuntu gambira muntu yakavala nguwu ndoyeni yiumbwa kwa mfanu gwa Mlungu na ndoyeni ililanguziya mumakaliru ga nakaka ga kumfiriziya Mlungu na unanagala.
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
Hangu, mleki mpayu, kila yumu kafiruwa kumgambira mlongu myaguwi unakaka toziya kila yumu gwetu kashiwungiru sha nshimba ya Kristu.
26 "Be angry, but do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your anger,
Handa pamkalala, namjumira maya genu gawatendi mtendi vidoda na namlikala na maya mpaka paguzyeta mshenji.
27 neither give place to the devil.
Namumpa Shetani lupenyu,
28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
Yakaweriti kankwiwa, nakiwa kayi, kumbiti kanji kutenda lihengu liheri kwa mawoku gakuwi kapati kuwera na shintu sha kulitanga mweni na kumtanga muntu muhushu.
29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Visoweru vidoda navipikinika nakamu pakati penu, kila mala visoweru vyenu viweri viherepa na vyeni vinyawa na kuwatanga wamonga, su viwanemeziyi wantu wenu yawapikinira.
30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Namumuhinginiziya Rohu Mnanagala gwa Mlungu toziya Rohu ayu ndo shilanguliru sha Mlungu kwa mwenga kuwera mwenga mwawantu wakuwi na shilanguziwu kuwera lishaka liza ndopeni Mlungu hakawalekiziyi.
31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
Su, mlekani kulikalalirana shuki na mleki maya na mleki umatu na mleki kwigilanga na mleki kila ukondola!
32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Muweri na moyu muheri kwa kila yumu gwenu na muweri na lusungu na kila yumu kamlekiziyi myaguwi handa Mlungu ntambu yakawalekiziya mwenga kwa njira ya Kristu.
