Waefeso 4
1 Kwa ele, Katya mfungwa kwajia ya Bwana, nikabhasii mgendai sawasawa ni bhuito bhwa K'yara waabhakutili.
I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, urge you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
2 Muishiayi kiunyenyekevu ubhaa ni upole ni uvumilivu, mkajitolenayi kup'etela upendo.
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
3 Mketai kibidii kutunza umonga wa Roho kup'etela kifungu Kya imani.
being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 Uye mbhele bhumo ni Roho yimo, Katya kujo kabhele mwakutibhu mu uhakika wa taraja yimo ya bhuito bhwinu.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
5 Na ayele Bwana mmonga, imani yimo, ubatisu bhumo,
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 ni K'yara yumo ndo Dadi watabhoa. Muene ayele panani pabhoa, ni kup'etela ghoa Ni mugati mwa ghoa.
one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
7 wa kila mmonga bhitu apelibhu kipawa kulengana ni kipawa kya Kristu.
But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Ndo kujo mayandiku kaghijobha:”Paapumbulukai panana sana, alonguisi mateka mu utumwa. Apisili nghofo kwa bhanu.”
Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people."
9 Ndo kiki maana ya, “Apumbuluiki,” yaibelili kuya kuwa aselili kabhele upande wa pasi wa dunia?
Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 Muene yaaselili ndo munu yhola yola kabhele ndo Apumbuluiki panani pambingu syoa. Aketili naaili ili ya kuwa ubhuepo wa muene uyele mu fhenu fhoa.
He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11 Kristu apisili vipawa kama e'fe: mitume, manabii, bhainjilisti, bhachungaji, ni bhalimu.
He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 Aketili naa ili kubhabhwezesya bhaumini kwajia ya mbhombho Ni huduma, kwajia ya kubhomba mbhele was Kristu.
for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;
13 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.
until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature person, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
14 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.
that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by cleverness in deceitful schemes;
15 Badala yaki tulalongela ukueli kup'etela upendo ni kukola zaidi kup'etela njela syoa mugati muake ambaye ndo mutu, Kristu.
but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;
16 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.
from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
17 Kwa ele, nijobha ele na ni kabhasihi kup'etela Bwana: Msigendi kabhele kujo bhanu bhamataifa kabhigenda kup'etela ubatili wa akili sya bhene.
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the nations also walk, in the futility of their mind,
18 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.
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;
19 Bhakajipeleka hee soni. Bhajikabisi bhene kiufisadi kup'etela matendo manofu hee, kup'etela kila aina ya uchoyo.
who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 Ila na heekamjifunzili kuhusu Kristu.
But you did not learn Christ that way;
21 N'lizani ya kuwa mpeliki kuhusu muene.
if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22 Lazima mmbhosyai mambo ghoa ghaghiyendana ni mienendo yhinu ya muandi, utukufu na muandi. Ndo utu wa muandi ndo ubholili ndhabha ya tamaa sya kujikofana.
that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
23 ulai utu bhuinu was muandi ya kuwa mfanywai kabhele kiroho sa akili sinu.
and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 Mketai na ili mubhwesyai kufuala utu kabhele, wawiendana ni K'yara. ubhombibhu kihaki ni kiutakatifu wa ukueli.
and put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25 Kwa ele, bheka patali udesi. Mlongelai ukueli, kila mmonga ni jilani wa muene, kwa ndabha to bhashilika kwa kila mmonga ni kwa bhayinu.
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
26 Muyelai ni ligoga, ila msibhombi thambi.
"Be angry, but do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your anger,
27 Msimpemi ibilisi nafasi.
neither give place to the devil.
28 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.
Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
29 Kauli ibaya isihomeli mu sinywa fhinu. Badala yaki malobhi ghaghipita mufinywa fhinu ghaghifaa ki mahitaji kubhapeta faida bhala yabhipelekesya.
Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
30 Na msihuzunishi Roho n'takatifu wa K'yara. Kwa muene ndabha mmbhekibhu mhuri kwajia ya magono gha ukombosi.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Lasima mubhekai patali ligoga lyoa, ghazabu ligoga, ngondo, ni malighu, pamonga ni kila aina ya uovu. Iyela wema kwa yhomo ni yhomo.
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
32 Muyela ni huruma. Mjisameheayi yhomo kwa yhomo, Katya K'yara kup'etela Kristu kaabhasamehili muenga.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
