Kwabase-Efesu 5
1 Ngakho banini ngabalandeli bakaNkulunkulu, njengabantwana abathandekayo;
Mwasyasye Akunnungu pakuŵa ŵanyamwe ndi ŵanache ŵao ŵakunonyelwa.
2 njalo lihambe ethandweni, njengalokhu uKristu laye wasithanda, wazinikelela thina abe ngumnikelo lomhlatshelo kuNkulunkulu ukuba luqhatshi olumnandi.
Ntameje kwa kunonyelana, mpela Kilisito iŵatite pakutunonyela ni kuutyosya umi wakwe kwaligongo lyetu nti mbopesi jakununjila ni sadaka jajikwanonyela Akunnungu.
3 Kodwa ubufebe lakho konke ukungcola kumbe umhawu kakungaphathwa lakanye phakathi kwenu, njengoba kufanele abangcwele;
Nambo pakuŵa ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, nipele chikululu ni usakwa wauli wose pane chilema chikakolanjikwa pasikati jenu.
4 lamanyala, lokukhuluma okuyize, kumbe ukusoma okulenhlamba, okuyizinto ezingafanelanga; kodwa kulalokhu, ukubonga.
Ngasimecheta maloŵe ga soni ni gangalimate pane ga makani ngagakuŵajilwa kose kukwenu, nambo mmbaya kuŵecheta maloŵe gakwatogolela Akunnungu.
5 Ngoba lokhu liyakwazi, ukuthi sonke isifebe, kumbe ongcolileyo, kumbe olomhawu, ongumkhonzi wezithombe, kalalifa embusweni kaKristu lokaNkulunkulu.
Mmanyilile isyene kuti jwachikululu jwalijose ni jwausakwa ni jwalipamo, mundu jwanti yele ali chisau mundu jwakuchipopelela chinyago ni mundu jwalijose jwanti yele ngaapata chindu mu Umwenye wa Kilisito ni wa Akunnungu.
6 Kakungabi lamuntu olikhohlisayo ngamazwi ayize; ngoba ngenxa yalezizinto ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luyehlela phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli.
Akanlambusya mundu kwa maloŵe gangalimate, kwa ligongo lya gelego Akunnungu akwalamula ŵele ŵangakwapilikanichisya.
7 Ngakho lingabi ngabahlanganyeli labo.
Nipele ŵanyamwe nkakamulangana nawo.
8 Ngoba lake laba ngumnyama, kodwa khathesi liyikukhanya eNkosini; hambani njengabantwana bokukhanya,
Ŵanyamwe kalakala mwaliji pa chipi, sambano ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵa Ambuje, nkutamanga palulanga. Kwayele ntamanje mpela ŵandu ŵaali mu lulanga,
9 ngoba isithelo sikaMoya sikubo bonke ubuhle lokulunga leqiniso,
pakuŵa kutama palulanga kukuntenda mpanganye indu yambone ni kupanganya indu yakusaka Akunnungu ni kuŵecheta ya usyene.
10 lihlolisise okuthokozisayo eNkosini;
Nchalile kuimanyilila yaikwanonyelesya Ambuje.
11 njalo lingahlanganyeli lemisebenzi yobumnyama engelazithelo, kodwa-ke kulalokho solani;
Nipele nkaliwanganya nkupanganya ipanganyo yangalimate ya mu chipi, nambo mwaichisye ŵandu palulanga.
12 ngoba kuthelela inhloni lokukhuluma ngezinto ezenziwa yibo ekusithekeni.
Ligongo indu yakuipanganya kwachisyepela ikutesya soni namose kuiŵalanga.
13 Kodwa konke okusolwayo yikukhanya kuyabonakaliswa; ngoba konke okubonakaliswayo kuyikukhanya,
Nambo yose yaikwichiswa palulanga, ikuloleka pangasisika,
14 ngakho uthi: Phaphama wena oleleyo uvuke kwabafileyo, njalo uKristu uzakukhanyisela.
pakuŵa lulanga ni lwalukulosya indu yose pangasisika. Kwa ligongo lyo Malembelo gakuti, “Njimuche mmweji ungonile, nsyuche, nombe Kilisito chanlanguchisye.”
15 Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi lihamba njani ngonanzelelo, kungabi njengezithutha, kodwa njengabahlakaniphileyo,
Nipele nlilolechesye inkuti kutama. Nkatama mpela ŵandu ŵakuloŵela nambo ntame mpela ŵandu ŵandi ni lunda.
16 lihlenga isikhathi, ngoba insuku zimbi.
Ntumie uchenene katema kandi nako kwa kupanganya indu yambone, pakuŵa moŵa ga gali gakusakala.
17 Ngakho lingabi yizithutha, kodwa liqedisisa okuyintando yeNkosi.
Kwa ligongo lyo nkaŵa ŵakuloŵela, nambo nsose kuimanyilila aila yakuisaka Ambuje mpanganye.
18 Njalo lingadakwa liwayini, okukulo umsindo, kodwa gcwaliswani nguMoya,
Kasinkolelwa divai pakuŵa kukolelwa kukuntesya mundu apanganye indu yangalumbana pangaganisya ichikopochele. Nambo ngumbaswe Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
19 likhulumisana ngezihlabelelo langamahubo okudumisa langezingoma zomoya, lihlabelele licule eNkosini enhliziyweni yenu,
Pankukunguluka, mmechete kwa maloŵe ga Sabuli ni nyimbo sya kulapa ni nyimbo sya kupopelela. Mwajimbile Ambuje ni kwajangalalila kwa mitima jenu.
20 limbonga njalo uNkulunkulu loBaba ngazo zonke izinto ebizweni leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,
Mwatogolele Akunnungu Atati, moŵa gose kwa indu yose, mu liina lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
21 lizehlisela ngaphansi omunye komunye ekumesabeni uNkulunkulu.
Kila mundu annolechesye njakwe kwa kulitulusya kwa ligongo lya kwachimbichisya Kilisito.
22 Bafazi, zehliseleni ngaphansi kwawenu amadoda, njengeNkosini,
Ŵanyamwe achimbumba, mwapilikanichisye achiŵankwenu mpela inkuti kwapilikanichisya Ambuje.
23 ngoba indoda iyinhloko yomfazi, njengoba uKristu laye eyinhloko yebandla, njalo yena unguMsindisi womzimba.
Pakuŵa jwannume akunlongosya ŵankwakwe, mpela Kilisito nombe ali jwakuulongosya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Nombe Kilisito nsyene ali ŵakwakulupusya ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila, ŵaali chiilu chao.
24 Kodwa njengoba-ke ibandla lehliselwe ngaphansi kukaKristu, ngokunjalo labafazi kwawabo amadoda kuyo yonke into.
Mpela ila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito yakuti pakwapilikanichisya Kilisito, iyoyo achimbumba nombe ŵapilikanichisye achiŵankwawo mu yose.
25 Madoda, thandani abenu abafazi, njengoKristu laye walithanda ibandla, wasezinikelela lona;
Ni ŵanyamwe achalume, mwanonyele achiŵankwenu mpela Kilisito yatite pakwanonyela mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kwa kuutyosya umi wao kwa ligongo lyao.
26 ukuze azingcwelisele lona, eselihlambulule ngesihlambo samanzi ngelizwi,
Ŵatesile yeleyo kuti auŵiche pajika mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kwa ligongo lya Akunnungu, ni kwajosya kwa liloŵe lyao mpela akwajosya ni meesi,
27 ukuze azimisele lona, ibandla elilenkazimulo, elingelachatha, kumbe umxhele kumbe okunye nje, kodwa ukuze libe ngcwele lingelacala.
kuti akombole kuliichisya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaali ŵaswela ni ŵambone, ŵangali chileŵo, atamuno ngwinyata, atamuno chachili chose chati iyoyo.
28 Ngokunjalo amadoda afanele ukuthanda abawo abafazi njengeyawo imizimba. Othanda owakhe umfazi, uyazithanda yena;
Iyoyo peyo achalume akusachilwa ŵanonyele achiŵankwawo mpela yakuti kuinonyela iilu yao achinsyene. Jwannume jwakunnonyela ŵankwakwe akulinonyela nsyene.
29 ngoba kakho owake wazonda eyakhe inyama, kodwa uyayondla ayiphathe kuhle, njengalokhu leNkosi isenza kubandla;
Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwaakuchichima chiilu chakwe nsyene, nambo akuchilisya ni kuchigosa mpela Kilisito yakuti pakuugosa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito,
30 ngoba siyizitho zomzimba wakhe, okwenyama yakhe lokwamathambo akhe.
ligongo uwe wose tuli iŵalo ya chiilu chao.
31 Ngenxa yalokhu umuntu uzatshiya uyise lonina anamathele kumkakhe, njalo laba ababili bazakuba nyamanye.
Mpela igakuti pakusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Kwa ligongo li, jwannume chiŵaaleche atatigwe ni achikulugwe ni chalumbikane ni ŵankwakwe, nombe ŵaŵili wo chaŵe ŵamo.”
32 Inkulu le imfihlo; kodwa mina ngikhuluma ngoKristu lebandla.
Kwana usyene wausisiche waunukulikwe kukwangu mmalembelo nkati Kilisito ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakwe ŵakunkulupilila.
33 Ngalokho lonke ngokukhethekileyo lani-ke, ngulowo lalowo kathande ngokunjalo owakhe umfazi njengaye; lomfazi ukuze ahloniphe indoda.
Nambo ukungamba ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe: Jwannume jwalijose annonyele ŵankwakwe mpela yakuti kulinonyela nsyene, ni jwambumba nombe ampilikanichisye ŵankwakwe.
