Efesasi 4

1 E'ina hu'negu nagra Ramofo kina vahe'mo'na, knare hutma mani'zantamifi kana nevutma, tamagima higetma eri'naza zanku hampo'nati'na tamavumro nentoe.

Njengesibotshwa seNkosi, ngiyalincenga ukuba liphile impilo efanele ubizo elalwamukelayo.

2 Tamavufga anteramitma, agazone hutma ru vahe'ene nemanitma, ke hakare osutma fru hutma, vahe'mofo antahizamitma zamesi zamanteho.

Wobani ngabathobekileyo labamnene ngokupheleleyo; bekezelani, libekezelelane omunye komunye ethandweni.

3 Hakare zupa hanavetitma Avamu'ene tragotetma nemanitma, hamprima tamanteno anaki'ma tamante'nea fruzana erigahaze.

Zamani ngamandla wonke ukugcina ukumanyana kukaMoya ngesibopho sokuthula.

4 Tagra mika'mota magoke tavufgafi magoke Avamu mani'neankino, anahukna huno e'ima tagi hu'neana magoke Anumzamofo naga fore hanunku tagi hu'ne.

Kulomzimba munye loMoya munye; njengalokhu labizelwa ethembeni linye ekubizweni kwenu,

5 Magoke Rantia manigeno, magoke tamentinti megeta, magoke mono ti nefrone.

iNkosi yinye, lokholo lunye, ubhaphathizo lunye;

6 Anumza Nerfa'a maka'mota magoke mani'neno kva huneranteno, maka'za kva nehuno maka'zampina mani'ne.

uNkulunkulu munye uYise wabo bonke, ophezu kwabo bonke njalo okubo bonke.

7 Hu'neanagi magoke magoke'mota asunku'zana ruzahu ruzahu muse'za Kraisi'a tami'ne.

Kodwa yilowo lalowo wethu waphiwa umusa ngokwaba kukaKhristu.

8 E'ina hu'negu avontafepina anage hu'ne, Agrama anagamu marenerino'a, Agra vugota huno kina vahe zamareno vu'ne. Agra'a vahera muse'za zami'ne. (Sam-Zga 68:18)

Yikho-nje umbhalo usithi: “Ekwenyukeleni kwakhe phezulu, wahola abathunjiweyo abanengi njalo wanika izipho ebantwini bakhe.”

9 Menina anage nehzankea me'ne, anagamu mareri'ne, ana kemofona nankna agu'agesa me'ne, Agra anazanke huno mopa agu'afi urami'neana?

(Ukuthi “wenyuka” kutshoni ngaphandle kokuthi njalo wehlela lezigabeni zangaphansi komhlaba na?

10 Agra urami'nemo otino marerino maka mona agatereno afete mani'neankino, Agra hakare zampina mani avitesigu anara hu'ne.

Yena lowo owehlela phansi nguye kanye owenyukela phezulu kakhulu kulamazulu wonke ukuze agcwale izindawo zonke emhlabeni lasezulwini.)

11 Mago'a nagara Agra aposol eri'za nezmino, mago'a nagara kasnampa eri'za nezmino, mago'a nagara mono ke huamahu eri'za nezmino, mago'a nagara mono kevu kegava kri eriza nezmino, mago'a nagara rempi huzmi eriza zami'ne.

UKhristu nguye owanika abanye ukuba babe ngabapostoli, abanye babe ngabaphrofethi, abanye babe ngabavangeli, abanye babe ngabaphathi labanye babe ngabafundisi,

12 Eri'za erisaza'zama, naga'amokizmi (Saints) zami'neana, non kiaza hu'za Kraisi avufa eri ra hugahaze,

ukuba balungisele abantu bakaNkulunkulu imisebenzi yenkonzo, ukuze umzimba kaKhristu wakhiwe

13 ana nehuta Anumzamofo Mofavre'are tamentintifina eri mago huta keta antahita nehuta, hanave enerita Ramofonte nena vahetfa nemanita, Kraisi avu'avapina aviteta Agri kna huta manigahune.

sonke size sifinyelele ekumanyaneni, ekukholweni lasekwazini iNdodana kaNkulunkulu sikhule ngokupheleleyo, sithole isilinganiso sokuphelela okufunyanwa kuKhristu.

14 Ana agafare tagra osi mofavregna huta omani'nunkeno, hagerimo erikranto kranto hiankna tamentintifina osnie. Na'ankure mago'amo'za ruzahu ke hunerasmi'za, anankea havige hu'za eri tamage kegna ke nerasmize.

Ngakho kasisayikuba zingane, siphoswa emuva laphambili ngamagagasi, siphetshulwa lapha lalaphaya yimimoya yonke yemfundiso kanye lokuhlakanipha lobuqili babantu ngamazwi abo enkohliso.

15 Hianagi tamage ke nehuta, tagu'areti vahera zamesi nezmanteta, hageta nena nehanunkeno maka'zamofona Kraisi aseni'a manigahie.

Kodwa-ke, sikhuluma iqiniso ngothando, sizakhula ezintweni zonke kuye yena oyiNhloko, yena enguKhristu.

16 Agripi miko avufamo omoni, emeni huno azeri hanavetisigeno, magoke magoke avufamo'a ruzahu ruzahu eri'za e'nerino, miko avufamo'a ra huno knare avesi'zampi hagegahie.

Kusukela kuye umzimba wonke ohlanganiswe wabanjaniswa yimisipha yonke ewusekelayo uyakhula uzakhe ngothando, isitho sinye ngasinye sisenza umsebenzi waso.

17 Hagi Ramofo hanave'afi anage hu'na neramasamue, mono nontahiza vahe knara (Gentiles) osiho, zamagra hzanegre'za mago'zana zamagu'areti hugara osu'naze.

Ngakho-ke, ngilitshela lokhu, ngikugcizelela eNkosini, ukuba akumelanga liphile njengabeZizweni emicabangweni yabo eyize.

18 Antahi'za zamifina hani hige'za, Anumzamofo mani'zampintira atre'za megi'a nemanize, na'ankure zamagra antahi'za ke'za nosazageno, zamagu'amo'a hanaveti'ne.

Kubamnyama ekuqedisiseni kwabo njalo behlukene lokuphila kukaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokungazi kwabo okungenxa yobulukhuni bezinhliziyo zabo.

19 Ana nehu'za zamagra havizane knare'zane kegava nosu'za, zamesi'zamofo kefo avu'ava zampi nevazageno, zamagri mani'zampina maka havizamofo avesi'zamo avite'ne.

Sebelahlekelwe ngunembeza wonke, sebezinikele ekuthokoziseni inyama ukuze benze inhlobo zonke zokuxhwala, inkanuko iqhubeka ifuna okunengi.

20 Hu'neanagi tamagra, e'inahu zampintira Kraisina rempi huta ontahi'naze.

Kodwa lina uKhristu kalimazanga ngaleyondlela.

21 Tamagrama ko Agriku'ma nentahizageno Agripima rempi hurami'nea zana, Jisasimpi tamage nanekea me'ne.

Impela lezwa njalo lafundiswa ngaye ngokweqiniso elikuJesu.

22 Korapa ama mopafi kasri avu'avaza mani'zantamifi me'neane, maka havi tamagu tamagesa me'neane, havige na atreho.

Lafundiswa mayelana lendlela yenu yakuqala yokuphila ukuba lilahle uqobo lwenu oludala, olonakaliswa yizinkanuko zalo zenkohliso;

23 Ana nehuta antahintahifine, avamupi kasefa huta manigahaze.

ukuba lenziwe libe batsha esimeni sengqondo zenu;

24 Kasefa vahe tro huta nemanita, Anumzankna huta fatgo avu'ava zampi ruotage huta tamage ke'afi manigahaze.

lifake uqobo lomzimba olutsha, oludalelwe ukuba njengoNkulunkulu ekulungeni okuqotho lobungcwele.

25 E'ina hu'negu magoke magoke'motma havige osutma tamage hiho. Mago avufagna hutma mono kevu mani'nonanki, tva'ontamire ru vahe'ma mani'nesiana havigea huonteho.

Ngakho-ke, yilowo lalowo wenu kumele alahle amanga akhulume iqiniso kumakhelwane wakhe ngoba sonke siyizitho zomzimba munye.

26 Tamarimpa hegahianagi, ana zampina kumira osiho, tamarimpa hesuta zaza kna omanita ko eri so'e hutenkeno zage'a ufreno.

“Ekuthukutheleni kwenu lingoni”: Ilanga kalingatshoni lilokhu lithukuthele

27 Hankromofona (Satana) mago kankmuna tamagra omiho.

njalo lingamniki indawo yokugxila uSathane.

28 Musufa ne'ma mani nesuno'a musufa oseno. Hianagi agra azampinti eri'za erino knare'zana erifore nehuno, zamagrazmi zamaza huga osu'nesaza nagara zamaza hugahie.

Lowo obekade entshontsha kangantshontshi futhi kodwa kumele asebenze, enze ulutho oluhle ngezandla zakhe ukuze abe langakwabela abaswelayo.

29 Hanki tamagipintira vahe'mokizmia havi nanekene urinke'nena ozmasmitma, zamaza nehutma, hanaveti'za manisaza nanekege nehnageno, antahisamokizmi'a zamaza hugahie.

Akungabi lenkulumo embi ephuma emilonyeni yenu kodwa okusizayo ekwakheni abanye ngokwezinswelo zabo, ukuba kusize labo abalalelayo.

30 Anumzamofo Avamura mani'zantmifina rimpagna eriomiho. Tmagesa antahiho, Avamu'mo agra azanko avoma'a kreno tamagra nagri nagare hu'neankino, esnia knarera tamaza huno tamavregahie.

Njalo lingamdabukisi uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu elabekwa ngaye uphawu lwelanga lokuhlengwa.

31 Rimpa hevava hu'zane, maka rimpa haviza huno ha' hu'zane, rimpa he'zane, rankege hu'zane, vahe zamefi'a ke hu'zana netretma, maka vahe'ma knazama zami'zana atreho.

Susani yonke inzondo, ulaka lokuthukuthela, ingxabano lesinyeyo, kanye lobubi bonke.

32 Agazone hutma vaheku tamasuntgi nezmantetma, Kraisimpi kumitia Anumzamo eri atre'rante'neankna hutma, kumi'zmia atre'zmanteho.

Wobani lomusa kanye lozwelo komunye lomunye wenu njalo lithethelelane njengalokhu uNkulunkulu walithethelela ngoKhristu.
