Ephesians 4
1 I exhort you, therefore, I the prisoner in the Lord, to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,
Kwa nneyo, nne nankutabhwa kwa ligongo lya kwaatumishila Bhakulungwa, ngunakunshondelesheyanga, itendi yenunji ilingane na nshemo gunshemelwenje.
2 with all humility and meekness, with long-suffering; bearing with one another in love,
Mobha gowe mwiitimalikanje, nnakolanje nnjimwa na mwiilumanje ntima na pingana.
3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Nntumbilanje kugoya shilongani shika Mbumu na lundana kwa ulele.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye were called in one hope of your calling;
Shipali shiilu shimo na Mbumu jwa a Nnungu jumo, malinga kulupalila kunshemelwenje na a Nnugu shikuli kumo.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Bhakulungwa bhamo, ngulupai imo, na ubhatisho gumo.
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
Bhapali a Nnungu bhamo ni Atati bha bhowenji, bhali bhakulungwa bha yowe na bhaatenda gowe na kwa kila shindu.
7 But to each one of us was given the grace [[which he hath]] according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ikabheje kila mundu munkumbi gwetu ashipegwa nema malinga shashite pimilwa na a Kilishitu.
8 Wherefore he saith: “When he ascended on high, he led captive a train of captives, and gave gifts to men.”
Malinga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo shigalugula, “Pubhanyakwilwe kunani kunnungu, bhashinkutola bhaatabhwa bhabhagwinji, nikwapanganga bhandunji ipaji.”
9 Now what is implied in his ascending, but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Bhai, gene malobhe gakuti, “Bhashinkunyakulwa kunani,” Malombolelo gakwe nndi? Ibhaga nngabha kuti, bhashinkutandubha kutuluka pai pa shilambolyo?
10 He who descended is the same as he who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Bhai, bhene bhatulwishe pa shilambolyo, ni bhobho bhanyakwilwe kwenda kunnungu kunani kaje, nkupinga bhashigumbaye shilambolyo.
11 And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Kwa nneyo gubhaatendilenje bhananji bhabhanganje, mitume na bhananji bhaalondola bha a Nnungu na bhananji bhaalunguya na bhananji bhaashunga na bhaajiganya.
12 for the perfecting of the saints for the work of ministration, for the building up of the body of Christ;
Bhashinkutenda nneyo ligongo lya kwashimilikanga bhandunji bha ukonjelo, nkupinga liengo litendeshe, nkupinga shiilu sha a Kilishitu shikule,
13 till we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
nkali uwe tubhowe pushituishile shilongani shimo sha nngulupai na kummanya kaje Mwana jwa a Nnungu, nkali kuishimilika na ishila timilika malinga a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayene.
14 that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and borne about by every wind of teaching, through the dishonest tricks of men, and their cunning in the wily arts of error;
Nkupinga tunabhe kabhili mbuti bhana bhashoko, tulipelekwa na pepeluywa akuno na kukuno na mbungo ja majiganyo ga bhandunji bha unami nkupinga kwaapuganyanga bhananji kwa unami.
15 but cleaving to truth in love, may grow up in all things unto him who is the head, even Christ;
Ikabheje tulugulilanaga ya kweli kwa ntima gwa pingana, shitukule kwa kila shindu malinga shiili kwa a Kilishitu bhali kalongolele,
16 from whom the whole body, well put together and compacted by means of every supplying joint, is, according to the working of each part in its proportion, building itself up in love.
tulundanaga na bhenebho shiilu showe shinakamulana shilitagwa mashili nkujangutilwa na ibhalo ina. Bhai, kila shibhalo shikamulaga liengo lyakwe, shiilu showe shinakula nkupingana.
17 This therefore I say, and charge you in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,
Bhai, kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa, ngunakunneyanga nnatamangane malinga bhandunji bha ilambo ina, bhaatamangana nng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone,
18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God on account of the ignorance that is in them, on account of the hardness of their hearts;
na lunda lwabhonji lushigumbala lubhindu, kwa nneyo bhashitalikangananga na gumi gwa a Nnungu, kwa ligongo lya ungumba guli mmitima jabhonji na mitau jabhonji.
19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to wantonness, to work all uncleanness in greediness.
Bhashipuganikanga mitima jabhonji na wala oni, bhalipunda kwiibhikanga nnkukwetela na bhatendanje indu ya nyata.
20 But not so did ye learn Christ,
Ikabheje mmanganyanji mwangaijiganyanga nneyo ga a Kilishitu.
21 if indeed ye heard him, and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus;
Ibhaga mwapilikenenje ukoto ngani jabho, na jiganywa ga kweli ga a Yeshu,
22 that as to your former way of life ye should put off the old man, who perisheth according to the lusts of deceit,
bhai nnekanje itendi yenunji ya bhukala, yani gundu gwa bhukala guangabhanyika kwa kwiikagulila ilokoli itemba.
23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Kwa nneyo ntendwanje mmaambi nng'aniyo ya mmitima jenunji.
24 and that ye put on the new man, who was created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
Nng'walanje gundu gwaambi, upengenywe shi Nnungu kwa aki na ukonjelo gwa kweli.
25 Wherefore having put away falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbor; for we are members one of another.
Bhai nnekanje unami, mmeleketanje ya kweli kila mundu naka mundu mwine, pabha kila mundu anakunkulupalila mwine.
26 “Be angry, and sin not;” let not the sun go down upon your wrath;
Nnalebhanje kwa ligongo lya nnjimwa, lyubha linatitimile nnjimwa ikanabhe kunshokanga.
27 and do not give place to the Devil.
Wala nnanng'ugulilanje Lishetani nnango.
28 Let him that stealeth steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands at that which is good, that he may have to give to him that is in need.
Nngwii anajibhe kabhili, ikabhe, akamule liengo lyambone kwa mashili gakwe nnyene, nkupinga akole shindu sha kunngabhila nkulaga.
29 Let no foul language proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for edification, as the need may be, that it may benefit the hearers;
Lilobhe lyolyowe lyangali lya mmbone linakoposhe nkang'wa yenunji, ikabhe lilobhe lyambone lya kumpwaa nkulaga, nkupinga lyaapanganje nema bhakulipilikananga.
30 and grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.
Wala nnammulayanje kuinjika Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, pabha jwenejo ni lulembo lwa a Nnungu lunnembwilwenje lubhe shilangulo shenunji mpaka lyubha lya gombolwa.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice;
Bhai, nnekanje magongo na nnjimwa na tumbala na njobhela na matukano, nkali yangali ya mmbone inapilikanishe kwenu mmanganya.
32 and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
Nkolanje ntima gwa mmbone na gwa bhonelana shiya, nneshelelananje mmashayenenji, kila mundu anneshelele nnjakwe malinga a Nnungu shibhanneshelelenje mmanganyanji kupitila a Kilishitu.
