Ephesians 5
1 Therefore be imitators of God, as His dear children.
Kwa ele muyela bhanu bha kunfuata K'yara Katya bhana munu ya bhagani kibhu.
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.
Mgendai kup'etela lipendo, kabhele kabhele kutya Kristu kaatuganili tete, ajipisili muene kwajia yhoto. Muene ayele sadaka ni zabiu, kuya harufu inofu ya kumbaghanisya K'yara.
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.
Zinaa au uchafu bhuoabhola ni tamaa sibaya visitajibhu Kati ya yhomo, Katya kayilondeka kwabhabhiamini,
4 Avoid shameful and foolish talk and low jesting--they are all alike discreditable--and in place of these give thanks.
Wala machukizu ghasitajibhu, malongesi gha kipumbafu, au mizaa ya kujizalilisha ghayele sawalepi, badala yaki iyela shukulani.
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.
Mwibhwesya kuya ni lihakika yakuwa kuye ni zinaa, uchafu, Wala yailolonda, oyhobai iabudu lisanamu, uyehee ni urisi bhuoabhola kup'etela
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.
ufalume was Kristu ni K'yara. Munu yuoa yhola. asikukosi kwa malobhi gha mebhwa kwa ndabha ya mambo agha ligoga la K'yara lihida panani pa bhana bhabhitii opi.
7 Therefore do not become sharers with them.
Ndo ishiriki pamonga nabhu.
8 There was a time when you were nothing but darkness. Now, as Christians, you are Light itself.
kwa ndabha muenga kamuandi mwayele kitita, ila henu muyele nuru kup'etela Bwana. Efu mgendai Katya bhana bha nuru.
9 Live and act as sons of Light--for the effect of the Light is seen in every kind of goodness, uprightness and truth--
Kwa ndabha matunda gha nuru ghijumulisha unofu bhuoa, haki ni ukueli.
10 and learn in your own experiences what is fully pleasing to the Lord.
Londa ikela kakikamhobholesya Bwana.
11 Have nothing to do with the barren unprofitable deeds of darkness, but, instead of that, set your faces against them;
Kukotokuya ushiliki kup'etela mbhombho samu kitita sasi belili kuya ni matunda, badala yaki siyelai bhuasi.
12 for the things which are done by these people in secret it is disgraceful even to speak of.
Kwa ndabha jobhili mambo ghabhiketa abha musili ghayele ni Soni hata kughayelesya.
13 But everything can be tested by the light and thus be shown in its true colors; for whatever shines of itself is light.
Mambo ghoa, ghaghisichulibhwa ni nuru ghiya bhuasi.
14 For this reason it is said, "Rise, sleeper; rise from among the dead, and Christ will shed light upon you."
Yakuwa kila kakifichulibhwa kiya mu nuruni. Efu tijobha naa, “Yumukai, bhebhe ya ugonili, na yinukai kuhomela kuwafu ni Kristu alamulila panani paku.”
15 Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.
Efu muyelai ngangali pa mwigenda, sio Katya bhanu bhabhabelili kuya bhelevu bali kujo bhaelevu.
16 Buy up your opportunities, for these are evil times.
Muukombolai muda ndabha magono ni gha uovu.
17 On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is.
Mkotokuya bhajinga, badala yaki muyelebhuayi kiki mapenzi ya Bwana.
18 Do not over-indulge in wine--a thing in which excess is so easy--
Msigali kujo mvinyo, kawilongosya kulota kuuharibifu, Badala yaki mjazibhuayi ni Roho N'takatifu.
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.
Mlongelai ni kila mmonga bhinu kizabuli, ni noli, ni nyembusa rohoni. Muyembai ni kunsifila kwa n'teema kup'etela Bwana.
20 Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Mpisiayi shukulani daima kwa mambo ghoa kup'etela lihina la Kristu Yesu Bwana wa yhoto ni kwa K'yara Dadi.
21 and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Mjipisyai mwayhomo kila mmonga ni kwa bhangi kwa heshima ya Kristu.
22 Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord;
Bhadala mjipisyai kwa bhagosi bhinu, Katya kwa Bwana.
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.
Kwa ndabha n'gosi ndo mutu kwa n'dala, Katya kristu kaayele ndo mutu wa kanisa. Ndo nayaikombela mibhele.
24 And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.
Lakini kutya likanisa kalikiyele pasi pa Kristu, kelakela bhadala lasima bhaketai mebhua kwa bhagosi bhabhi kwa kila lijambo.
25 Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;
Bhagosi, mbhaganai bhadala bhinu kutya Kristu kaaliganili likanisa na ajipisili muene kwajia ya muene.
26 in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal water by the word,
Aketili naa ili liyelai takatifu. Alitakese kwa kulisuka ni masi kup'etela lilobhi.
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.
Aketili naa ili abhwesyai kujiwasilishila muene likanisa tukufu, papadulili lidoa Wala waa au khenu kakifanana ni agha, badala yaki ndo takatifu yaliyele hee ni kosa.
28 So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Kwa njela yela, bhagosi bhilondeka kubhagana bhadala bhabhi kutya mibhele ya bhene. Yola ya akamgana n'dala munu akajigana muene.
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;
Ayehe hata mmonga yaakaudadila mbhele wa muene. Badala yaki, akaulutubisha ni kuugana, kutya Kristu kabhele kaaliganili likanisa.
30 because we are, as it were, parts of His Body.
Ndabha tete ndo bhashiriki bha mbhele wa muene.
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."
“Ndabha ya ele bhagosi alandheka dadi munu ni nyongo munu na alaungana ni n'dala munu, ni abhu bhabhele bhalaya mbhele ummonga.”
32 That is a great truth hitherto kept secret: I mean the truth concerning Christ and the Church.
Obho wayele kama ufighibhu. Ila ni fobha kup'etela Kristu ni 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.
Kayilondeka, kila mmonga bhinu an'ganai n'dala munu kutya yu muene, ni n'dala lazima amheshimuayi n'gosi munu. h
