Ephesians 4
1 I exhort you, therefore, I the prisoner in the Lord, to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,
Su, neni yanwera mtatilwa toziya numtendera Mtuwa, nuwaluwa mulikali makaliru yagafiruwa shemwa yamshemeritwi.
2 with all humility and meekness, with long-suffering; bearing with one another in love,
Mashaka goseri muweri wananagala, wapoli na wantu wa kuhepera, mliheperani mwenga kwa mwenga kwa mafiliru.
3 endeavoring 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 ye 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 given the grace [[which he hath]] according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Na kila yumu gwetu kawankiti manemu ga lifupu ntambu ya shipimu shakapatiti kwa Kristu.
8 Wherefore he saith: “When he ascended on high, he led captive a train of captives, and gave gifts to men.”
Malembu ntambu yagalonga, “Pakanyasukiti kugenda kumpindi nentu Kawalonguziyiti walopolwa, Vilaa kawapananiti wantu mafupu.”
9 Now what is implied in his ascending, 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 same as he who 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 And 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 for the work of ministration, for 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 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;
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 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;
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 cleaving to truth in love, may grow up in all things unto him who is the head, even Christ;
Handa patuyowera unakaka kwa moyu gwa mafiliru, twenga hatukuli mukila shitwatira kulinganira na Kristu ndo mtuwi gwa wantu yawajimira.
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.
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 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,
Su kwa litawu lya Mtuwa, nankuwabereziya, namulikala kayi gambira wantu yawammana ndiri Mlungu, ndoweni maholu gawu gahera mahala,
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 mahala gawu gawera muluwindu. Wakutali na ukomu yawulawa kwa Mlungu toziya ya uzigizigi yawuwera mngati mwawu na ukalipa wawu.
19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to wantonness, to work all uncleanness in greediness.
Wapotoka na wahera soni, waliyingiziya muwupayira, womberi watenda kwa lopulopu kila ntambu ya vitwatira vya soni.
20 But not so did ye learn Christ,
Kumbiti mwenga mlifunda hangu ndiri kuusu Kristu.
21 if indeed ye heard him, and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus;
Hashi, mwenga mupikanira ndiri kuusu Yesu? Nakaka mwenga mfunditwi kuusu yomberi kuwera unakaka wamungati mwakuwi.
22 that as to your former way of life ye should put off the old man, who perisheth according to 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 be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Mnyawi syayi ya murohu na mmaholu genu.
24 and that ye put on the new man, who was created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the 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 Wherefore having put away falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbor; for we are members one of another.
Hangu, mleki mpayu, kila yumu kafiruwa kumgambira mlongu myaguwi unakaka toziya kila yumu gwetu kashiwungiru sha nshimba ya Kristu.
26 “Be angry, and sin not;” let not the sun go down upon your wrath;
Handa pamkalala, namjumira maya genu gawatendi mtendi vidoda na namlikala na maya mpaka paguzyeta mshenji.
27 and do not give place to the Devil.
Namumpa Shetani lupenyu,
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.
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 foul language proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for edification, as the need may be, that it may benefit the hearers;
Visoweru vidoda navipikinika nakamu pakati penu, kila mala visoweru vyenu viweri viherepa na vyeni vinyawa na kuwatanga wamonga, su viwanemeziyi wantu wenu yawapikinira.
30 and grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye were sealed unto 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, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil-speaking, 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, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God 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.
