Maefese 5

1 Nihakuvavulyo muve muvalikanyisi ve Ireeza, sina hamuli vana vakwe vasakahala.

Bee yee therefore followers of God, as deare children,

2 Ni kuyenda mwilato, sina Keresite mwavatusakili ni kuliha iye mwine kwetu. A vavi ineo ni chitavelo, kuva mununko u tabisa kwa Ireeza.

And walke in loue, euen as Christ hath loued vs, and hath giuen himselfe for vs, to be an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellling sauour to God.

3 Vuvi bwa vusangu kapa mikwa mivi yonse ni kulakamina chifumu kanji zi wambwa mukati kenu, kakuti ka ziswaneli ku vazumine.

But fornication, and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named among you, as it becommeth Saintes,

4 Kapa kuva kuziwamba ziswavisa, kuwamba za vuyanga, kapa musiye museki zi sena ntuso, zi sa swaneli. Kono kuve ni za kulitumela.

Neither filthinesse, neither foolish talking, neither iesting, which are things not comely, but rather giuing of thankes.

5 Kokuti muswanela kubona kuti kakwina vubi bwa vuhule, kusachena, kapa vubi bonse, kapa mntu yosaka chifumu, njikuti, ihule, kena chiaanda mumpuso ya Keresite ni Ireeza.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, neither vncleane person, nor couetous person, which is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdome of Christ, and of God.

6 Kanji muzumini zumwi kumichenga cha manzwi ena mukungulu. Chevaka lya zintu ezo vukali bwa Ireeza bukeziteni kwa vaana vasena ikute.

Let no man deceiue you with vaine wordes: for, for such thinges commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of disobedience.

7 Chobulyo kanji muvi ni kavelo nabo.

Be not therefore companions with them.

8 Kakuti inwe muvali ififi, kono hanu chimuli mwiseli kwa Simwine. Chobulyo muyende sina vaana ve seli.

For ye were once darkenesse, but are nowe light in the Lord: walke as children of light,

9 Kakuti miselo yeseli i hindilile bulotu bonse, kujolola, ni buniti.

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in al goodnes, and righteousnes, and trueth)

10 Mu wane kuti njechihi chitavisa Simwine.

Approuing that which is pleasing to the Lord.

11 Kanji muvi ni kavelo kumisevezi yamiselo ye fifi. Mucivaka chakuti, mu vezivahaze.

And haue no fellowship with ye vnfruitfull works of darknes, but euen reproue them rather.

12 Kakuti zintu zi vava pangi avo mwikunutu ziswavisa hahulu nanga ku kuziwamba.

For it is shame euen to speake of the things which are done of them in secret.

13 Zintu zonse, ha zi patululwa cheseli, zi zivahali.

But all thinges when they are reproued of the light, are manifest: for it is light that maketh all things manifest.

14 Kakuti zintu zonse zi va patulwilwe zi vamaniswa. Nihakwinabulyo kuwambwa kuti, “Mulala, inwe vanamañonzi, mi munyamuke kuzwa ku vafwile, mi Keresite kabenye henu.”

Wherefore hee sayeth, Awake thou that sleepest, and stande vp from the deade, and Christ shall giue thee light.

15 Nihakwinabulyo mutokomele mo muyendela, isinyi kuva sina vantu vasena vutali kono sina vatali.

Take heede therefore that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise,

16 Mumamele inako chakuti mazuva chena vuvi.

Redeeming ye season: for ye daies are euill.

17 Kanji muvi vaholo. Nihekuvavulyo, muzuwisize itato ye Simwine kuti njehi.

Wherefore, be ye not vnwise, but vnderstand what the will of the Lord is.

18 Kanji u kolwa kunywa iveine, kakuti i twala kwisinyeho. Nihakwinavulyo, wizuzwe cha Luhuho Lujolola.

And be not drunke with wine, wherein is excesse: but be fulfilled with the Spirit,

19 Mu kandekisane zumwi kuzumwi chaLisamu ni nzimbo nimu chafela. Muzimbe mi mulumbeke chenkulo zenu zonse ku Simwine.

Speaking vnto your selues in psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songs, singing, and making melodie to the Lord in your hearts,

20 Inako yonse muhe bwitumelo kuzintu zonse chezina la Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite kwe Ireeza Tayo.

Giuing thankes alwaies for all thinges vnto God euen the Father, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ,

21 Mulivonze kunsi bamwi kubamwi chetukelo ya Keresite.

Submitting your selues one to another in the feare of God.

22 Vanakazi, mulivike kunsi ku va mwihyenwanwe, sina ku Simwine.

Wiues, submit your selues vnto your husbands, as vnto the Lord.

23 Kakuti mukwame nji mutwi wa mwanakazi, sina Kelesite naye hali mutwi wenkeleke. Nji muhazi wa muvili.

For the husband is the wiues head, euen as Christ is the head of the Church, and the same is the sauiour of his body.

24 Kono sina inkeleke ha ina mwikonde la Keresite, chobulyo ni mwanakazi u swanela ku va vulyo kwa mwihabwe mwizintu sonse.

Therfore as the Church is in subiection to Christ, euen so let the wiues be to their husbands in euery thing.

25 Bakwame, musake vanakazi venu sina Keresite mwa sakile inkeleke ni kuliha iye mwine kwili.

Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it,

26 Avachiti bulyo kokuti a mupange yojolola. Ava muchenisi chaku musambisa ni menzi che nzwi.

That hee might sanctifie it, and clense it by the washing of water through the worde,

27 Avachitibulyo kuti a lihye iyemwine mwikanya yenkeleke, ne kusena vubi nanga kunyana nanga chimwi chiswana necho, kono nihakwinavulyo kujolola kusena mafosisa

That hee might make it vnto him selfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it shoulde bee holy and without blame.

28 Chenzila iswana, bakwame vaswanela kusaka vanakazi vavo sina mivili yabo. Iye mwine yosaka mwihyabwe usaka wakwe mwine.

So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: he that loueth his wife, loueth him selfe.

29 Kakwinwa muntu ya cha vatoyi muvili wakwe. Kono, u vavalela ni kuusaka, sina Keresite naye mwasakile inkeleke.

For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord doeth the Church.

30 Chakuti iswe twinkalulo ya muvili wakwe.

For we are members of his bodie, of his flesh, and of his bones.

31 “Chevaka lyo mukwame kasiye besi ni banyina mi kalikopanye kwa mwihyabwe, mi vovele ka vave inyama yonke”.

For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they twaine shalbe one flesh.

32 Uvu vuniti bukando buungwilwe, kono ni wamba kuamana niKeresite ni nkeleke.

This is a great secrete, but I speake concerning Christ, and concerning the Church.

33 Nihakubabulyo, zumwi ni zumwi kwenu naye asake mwihyabwe cha mwalisakila, mi vanakazi bakuteke bakwame vabo.

Therefore euery one of you, doe ye so: let euery one loue his wife, euen as himselfe, and let the wife see that shee feare her husband.
