Ephesians 5
1 Therefore be imitators of God, as His dear children.
Kulwejo mubhe bhanu bhwo kumulubha Nyamuanga, lwa bhana abhendwa.
2 And live and act lovingly, as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up to death on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice to God, yielding a fragrant odor.
Mulibhatile mulyenda, lwakutyo Kristo achendele eswe, esosishe omwene ingulu yeswe. Omwene abhee chisoshwa ne chogo, okubha bhulange bhwa kiss bhwo kumukondelesha Nyamuanga.
3 But fornication and every kind of impurity, or covetousness, let them not even be mentioned among you, for they ought not to be named among God's people.
Obhulomesi no bhujabhi bhwona bhwona na inamba mbibhi itaikwa agati yemwe, lwakutyo ejendibhwa kubhekilisha, nolo amafululusho gataikwa,
4 Avoid shameful and foolish talk and low jesting--they are all alike discreditable--and in place of these give thanks.
emisango jo bhujabhi, nolo bhusegu bhwo kujimya, ganu gatali gakisi, nawe ibheewo insime.
5 For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber--or in other words idol-worshipper--has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.
Omutula okubha nechimali ati bhulio obhusiani, obhujabhi, nolo unu kaligila, oyo ni unu kalamya amasusano, atana mwandu gwona gwona mubhukama bhwa Kristo na Nyamuanga.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming upon the disobedient.
Omunu wona wona atajakujiga kwa magambo gabhusa, kwa insonga ya magambo ya magambo ganu lisungu lya Nyamuanga elija ingulu ya bhana bhanu bhatakungwa.
7 Therefore do not become sharers with them.
Kulwejo utaja kubha amwi nabho.
8 There was a time when you were nothing but darkness. Now, as Christians, you are Light itself.
Kulwokubha emwe kubhwambilo mwaliga muli muchisute, nawe woli omwitaganya mu Latabhugenyi. Kulwejo mulibhatega lwa bhana bha mubhwelu.
9 Live and act as sons of Light--for the effect of the Light is seen in every kind of goodness, uprightness and truth--
Kulwokubha amatwasho ga mubhwelu agakumanya obhwekisi bhwona, obhulengelesi ne chimali.
10 and learn in your own experiences what is fully pleasing to the Lord.
Yenja chinu echikondelesha Latabhugenyi.
11 Have nothing to do with the barren unprofitable deeds of darkness, but, instead of that, set your faces against them;
Bhutaja kubhao bhusangisi kumilimu je chisute jinu jitana matwasho, nawe nujite abhwelu.
12 for the things which are done by these people in secret it is disgraceful even to speak of.
Kulwokubha amagambo ganu agakolwa nabho mubhwimbise nigokuswasha muno nolo okugasimula.
13 But everything can be tested by the light and thus be shown in its true colors; for whatever shines of itself is light.
Amagambo gona, gakasululwa no bhwelu, agabha abhwelu,
14 For this reason it is said, "Rise, sleeper; rise from among the dead, and Christ will shed light upon you."
kulwokubha bhuli echinu chinu chisuluwe echibha mubhwelu. Kulwejo owaika kutiya,”Imuka, awe umamile, na imuka okusoka mubhafuye na Kristo kalabhangilya ingulu yao.”
15 Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.
Kulwejo mubhe nobhwenge kutyo omulibhata, mutabha lwa bhanu bhanu bhatana bhwenge nawe bhobhwenge.
16 Buy up your opportunities, for these are evil times.
Mwichungulilega omwanya kulwokubha jinsikujinu nijo bhunyamuke.
17 On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is.
Mutaja kubha bhamumu, nawe, mumenye ati nilyenda lya Latabhugenyi.
18 Do not over-indulge in wine--a thing in which excess is so easy--
Mutatamilaga kwo mulamba, ogutangasha mubhunyamuke, nawe mwijusibhwe no Mwoyo Omwelu.
19 but drink deeply of God's Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and offer praise in your hearts to the Lord.
Mulomega bhuli umwi mwimwe kwa jijabhuli, nokukuya, na jinyimbo ja mumwoyo. Mwimbe na nimukuya kwo mwoyo ku Latabhugenyi.
20 Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Bhusibhusi musoshega isime kwe misango jona mwisina lya Kristo Yesu Latabhugenyi weswe ku Nyamuanga Lata.
21 and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Mwisoshega emwe abhene bhuli umwi kuundi kunsime ya Kristo.
22 Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord;
Abhagasi, mwisoshega kubhalume bhemwe, lwa Latabhugenyi.
23 because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His Body.
Kulwainsonga omulume ni mutwe gwo mugasi, lwakutyo Kristo ali mutwe gwa likanisa. Ni muchungusi wo mubhili.
24 And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.
Nawe lwakutyo likanisa lili emwalo ya Kristo, kutyo kutyo abhagasi bhusi bhusi bhakole kutyo kubhalume bhebhwe bhuli musango.
25 Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;
Abhalume, mubhendega abhagasi bhemwe lwakutyo ona Kristo alyendele likanisa nesosha omwene ingulu yae.
26 in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal water by the word,
Akolele kutyo koleleki libhe lyelu. Ayeshe no kulyosha na manji mumusango.
27 that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.
Akolele kutyo koleleki abhone omwene likanisa lyechibhalo, linu litana esolo amwi na chona chinu echisusana necho, nawe ni lyelu litana chibhibhi.
28 So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Kulwainjila eyo eyo, abhalume abhendibhwa okubhenda abhagasi bhebhwe lwe mibhili jebhwe. Unu kamwenda omugasi wae keenda omwene.
29 For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;
Atalio naumwi unu katamangana no mubhili gwae. Nawe naguchumachuma no kugwenda, lwakutyo Kristo ona kutyo alyendele likanisa.
30 because we are, as it were, parts of His Body.
Kulwokubha eswe chili amwi no mubhili gwae.
31 "For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one."
“Kulwainsonga inu omulume kamusiga esemwene na nyilamwene nibhagwatana no mugasi wae, nabhabhilikile abho nibhabha mubhili gumwi”.
32 That is a great truth hitherto kept secret: I mean the truth concerning Christ and the Church.
bhunu bhaliga bhuselekelwe. Nawe enaika ingulu ya Kristo na likanisa.
33 Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.
Nawe, emwe bhuli umwi mwimwe nibhusibhusi amwende omugasi wae lwakutyo keenda omwene, no mugasi amugasega omulume wae.
