Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,
Pauluo, heene n'kunguavwimila u Mutwa, nikuvasuma mughendelelaghe ndavule ng'emelo jino u Nguluve alya vakemelile.
2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Mukulaghe nu vwoghofi mu vuhugu nulugudo. Kupindilanila n'kate mulughano.
3 giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Mulolelanilaghe ni ngufu kulolela uvumo vwa Mhepo muvukungua uvwa lutengano.
4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;
Kuli m'bili ghumo ku Mhepo jumo, ndavule mulyale mukemelilue muvwa kyang'haani uvwa lughulilo lumo ulwa ulwa ng'emelelo jinu.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Kange kwale u Ntua jumo, ulwofugho lumo,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
nu Nguluve jumo ghwe Nhaata ghwa vooni. Umwene alipakyanya pa sooni iisi, na kusooni isi na mun'kate mu ku sooni.
7 But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Kwa muunhu ghweni mulyusue apelilue ikipelua kuling'ana nikighelelo ikya kipelua ikya Kilisite.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.
Ndavule amalembe ghijova: “Pano alyatoghile ku kyanya kyongo, alyalongwisie ava galulu muvukami. Akahumia ifipelua ku vaanhu.”
9 (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Kwekuuti kiki iisi, “Alyatoghile,” neke looli alikile kange pasi pa iisi?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Umwene juno alikile ghwe mwene julajula juno kange alyatoghile kuvutali kukyanya kuvulanga vwooni. Alyavombile n'diki ulwakuuti uvuvaha vwa mweene vuvisaghe mu finu fyooni.
11 And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
U Kilisite alya humisie ifipelua ndavule ifi: avasung'ua, avaviili, avainjilisiti, avadiimi nava vulanisi.
12 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:
Alyavombile vulevule kukuvatanga avitiki vwimila vwa mbombo ija vuvombi, vwimila vwa kuvuvujenga um'biili ghwa Kilisite.
13 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Ivomba n'diki kuhanga usue tweeni tufikile uvumo vwa lwitiko nhuvu mang'anyi vwa mwana ghwa Nguluve. Ivomba vulevule mpaaka tukangale ndavule vaala vano valyafikile ikyimo kino kikwiline ikya Kilisite.
14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
Ulu kwekuuti tulekaghe kuuva heene vaana, natungapululusivwaghe kuno nakula. Ulwakuuti tuleke pitolua ni mhepo sisino sivisaghe sa mbulanisio, nigiilabsa vaanhu mumanjughulu gha vudesi vuno vusoveleng'ine.
15 but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, which is the head, [even] Christ;
Palwene uluo tujovaghe uvwakyang'haani mulughano na kukula kyoongo mu siila sooni n'kate mwa mweene juno ghwe muutu, u Kilisite.
16 from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in [due] measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.
U Kilisite adumining'inie, palikimo u m'biili ghwooni ughwa vitiki. Ghulunginisivue palikimo nifipelua fyooni ulwakuuti um'biili ghwoni ghukule napikujenga gwene mulughano.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Pauluo, nijova iili, nikuvasuma mwa Mutwa: Namulaghendagha kange heene vaanhu vapanji fino vighenda muvugalusi vwa luhala luvanave.
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 heart;
Vakapikilue ni ng'iisi mumasaghe gha vanave. Vadaghilue vwumi vwa Nguluve muvuyasu vuno vulin'kate muvanave ulwakuva vwimila uvwumi vwa moojo ghavanave.
19 who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Navikupulika isooni. Vitavwile veene kuvunyali mu mbombo inyali, mulwa vugheji vwooni.
20 But ye did not so learn Christ;
Looli, nafyelulivuo ndavule mulumanyile vwimila u Kilisite.
21 if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
Nakuva kuuti mupulike umwene. Nakuva kuuti mukale mumanyila mwa mweene, ndavule uvwa kyang'ani vulivuo vwimila u Yesu.
22 that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, which waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
Luvanoghile mufunyaghe sooni sino silutana nulughendo lwiinu ulwa pakali, uvumuunhu uvwa pakali, uvumuunhu vwa pakali vuno vuvola vwimila vwa vunoghelua vwa vudesi.
23 and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Mufulaghe uvumuunhu uvwa pakali ulwakuuti muvombeke vupia munumbula sa luhala lwinu.
24 and put on the new man, which after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Muvombaghe vulevule ulwa kuuti mukagule kufwala uvumuunhu uvupia, vuno vulutana nu nguluve vupelilue muvwakyang'aani nu vwimike vwa kyang'ani.
25 Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Pa uluo, vikagha kutali nuvudesi. “Jovagha uvwa kyang'aani umuunhu ghweni nhu m'bading'ani ghwa mwene,” ulwakuva tulivahangilanisi umuunhu ghweni kwa junge.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Muvisaghe ni ng'alasi, looli na mungavombaghe inyivi,” Ilijuva nalingasemaghe mujighe ni ng'alasi siinu.
27 neither give place to the devil.
Namungam'pelaghe uvwelefu u setano.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.
Ghweni juno ihija anoghile kuhija kange. Pa uluo anoghile avombaghe imbombo. Avombaghe imbombo inyaluvumbulilo na mavoko gha mwene, ulwakuuti akagule pikun'tanga umuunhu juno aghilue.
29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.
Injovele imbiivi najingajighaghe mumulomo ghwinu. Pa uluo amasio ghanoghile pihuma mumalomo ghiinu ghano ghanoghile kusino silondeka, kukuvapela uluvumbulilo vala vano vipulikisia.
30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.
Mulampelelagha kusukunala u Mhepo Mwimike ghwa Nguluve kwa mwene kuuti mukanyilue umuhuri vwila vwa kighono ikya vupoki
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:
Lunoghile pikuluvika patali uvuvafi vwooni, ing'alasi, ilyoojo, amabatu, namaligho, palikimo nuvuhosi vuno vuli pa pinga.
32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.
Muvisaghe nulusungu. Musaghilanilaghe jumue kwa jumue, ndavule u Nguluve mwa Kilisite avasaghile umue.
