Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
Kwa ele, Katya mfungwa kwajia ya Bwana, nikabhasii mgendai sawasawa ni bhuito bhwa K'yara waabhakutili.
2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
Muishiayi kiunyenyekevu ubhaa ni upole ni uvumilivu, mkajitolenayi kup'etela upendo.
3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Mketai kibidii kutunza umonga wa Roho kup'etela kifungu Kya imani.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,
Uye mbhele bhumo ni Roho yimo, Katya kujo kabhele mwakutibhu mu uhakika wa taraja yimo ya bhuito bhwinu.
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Na ayele Bwana mmonga, imani yimo, ubatisu bhumo,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.
ni K'yara yumo ndo Dadi watabhoa. Muene ayele panani pabhoa, ni kup'etela ghoa Ni mugati mwa ghoa.
7 But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
wa kila mmonga bhitu apelibhu kipawa kulengana ni kipawa kya Kristu.
8 Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
Ndo kujo mayandiku kaghijobha:”Paapumbulukai panana sana, alonguisi mateka mu utumwa. Apisili nghofo kwa bhanu.”
9 Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Ndo kiki maana ya, “Apumbuluiki,” yaibelili kuya kuwa aselili kabhele upande wa pasi wa dunia?
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Muene yaaselili ndo munu yhola yola kabhele ndo Apumbuluiki panani pambingu syoa. Aketili naaili ili ya kuwa ubhuepo wa muene uyele mu fhenu fhoa.
11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
Kristu apisili vipawa kama e'fe: mitume, manabii, bhainjilisti, bhachungaji, ni bhalimu.
12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
Aketili naa ili kubhabhwezesya bhaumini kwajia ya mbhombho Ni huduma, kwajia ya kubhomba mbhele was Kristu.
13 until 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,
Iketa naa hadi henu tetetayele tabhoa tuufikilai ummonga wa imani ya maarifa ya bhuana wa K'yara. Iketa naa hadi tubhwesyai kusindamala katya bhala yabha fikili kimo kyene kya Kristu.
14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
Eye ndo kuwa tusiye kabhele kujo bhana, tusilushibhurushibhu okhobahi Ni okho. Yandabha tusitolibhu ni aina ya mphongo wa fundisho, kwa hila sabhanu ni ujanja wa kujikofya wa wipotosya.
15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
Badala yaki tulalongela ukueli kup'etela upendo ni kukola zaidi kup'etela njela syoa mugati muake ambaye ndo mutu, Kristu.
16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
Kristu aunganishi, kwa pamonga, mbhele bhuoa wa bhaumini uunganisibhu pamonga ni kila kiungo ili ya kuwa mbhele bhuoa ukolai ni kujijenga muene kup'etela upendo.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
Kwa ele, nijobha ele na ni kabhasihi kup'etela Bwana: Msigendi kabhele kujo bhanu bhamataifa kabhigenda kup'etela ubatili wa akili sya bhene.
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 hearts.
Bhasopibhu kitita kup'etela mabhuaso gha bhene. Bhabhengibhu kuhomela mu usima wa K'yara kwa ujinga wa uyele mugati mwa bhene ndabha ya unono wa miteema ya bhene.
19 They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Bhakajipeleka hee soni. Bhajikabisi bhene kiufisadi kup'etela matendo manofu hee, kup'etela kila aina ya uchoyo.
20 But you didn’t learn Christ that way,
Ila na heekamjifunzili kuhusu Kristu.
21 if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
N'lizani ya kuwa mpeliki kuhusu muene.
22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
Lazima mmbhosyai mambo ghoa ghaghiyendana ni mienendo yhinu ya muandi, utukufu na muandi. Ndo utu wa muandi ndo ubholili ndhabha ya tamaa sya kujikofana.
23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
ulai utu bhuinu was muandi ya kuwa mfanywai kabhele kiroho sa akili sinu.
24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Mketai na ili mubhwesyai kufuala utu kabhele, wawiendana ni K'yara. ubhombibhu kihaki ni kiutakatifu wa ukueli.
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
Kwa ele, bheka patali udesi. Mlongelai ukueli, kila mmonga ni jilani wa muene, kwa ndabha to bhashilika kwa kila mmonga ni kwa bhayinu.
26 “Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
Muyelai ni ligoga, ila msibhombi thambi.
27 and don’t give place to the devil.
Msimpemi ibilisi nafasi.
28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
Yuoa yola yaiheja asiheji kabhele. Badala yaki abhomba mbhombho abhombai mbhombho yaiyele ni manufaa kwa kibhoko Kya muene, ili ndabha abhwesyai kunihudumila munu ya ayele ni lihitaji.
29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Kauli ibaya isihomeli mu sinywa fhinu. Badala yaki malobhi ghaghipita mufinywa fhinu ghaghifaa ki mahitaji kubhapeta faida bhala yabhipelekesya.
30 Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Na msihuzunishi Roho n'takatifu wa K'yara. Kwa muene ndabha mmbhekibhu mhuri kwajia ya magono gha ukombosi.
31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
Lasima mubhekai patali ligoga lyoa, ghazabu ligoga, ngondo, ni malighu, pamonga ni kila aina ya uovu. Iyela wema kwa yhomo ni yhomo.
32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Muyela ni huruma. Mjisameheayi yhomo kwa yhomo, Katya K'yara kup'etela Kristu kaabhasamehili muenga.
