Kwabase-Efesu 5
1 Ngakho banini ngabalandeli bakaNkulunkulu, njengabantwana abathandekayo;
E'ina hu'negu Anumzamo nehia avu'avakna hutma tamavutmavara hiho, nankure tamagrira agu'areti avesi nermantea mofavre'a mani'naze,
2 njalo lihambe ethandweni, njengalokhu uKristu laye wasithanda, wazinikelela thina abe ngumnikelo lomhlatshelo kuNkulunkulu ukuba luqhatshi olumnandi.
tamagra vaheku tamavesi nezmanteta, Kraisi'ma agu'areti avesiranteno agra'a avufga atreno tazama hu'neakna nehutma, Agra'a avufa tagriteku huno Anumzamofontega mananentake'za Kresramana vu'neakna hiho.
3 Kodwa ubufebe lakho konke ukungcola kumbe umhawu kakungaphathwa lakanye phakathi kwenu, njengoba kufanele abangcwele;
Hianagi monko'zano, kefo avu'avazano, agraguke avemasi'zana tamagripina omne tfaza hino, Anumzamofona otage nagapina (saints) e'inahu zana amu'no zamifina omnegahie.
4 lamanyala, lokukhuluma okuyize, kumbe ukusoma okulenhlamba, okuyizinto ezingafanelanga; kodwa kulalokhu, ukubonga.
Kefozamofo naneke osutma, vahe agze ami nanekene, zokago vakago nanekea ana maka netretma Anumzamofo muse hunteho.
5 Ngoba lokhu liyakwazi, ukuthi sonke isifebe, kumbe ongcolileyo, kumbe olomhawu, ongumkhonzi wezithombe, kalalifa embusweni kaKristu lokaNkulunkulu.
Na'ankure tamagra antahi ankere'naze, monko'za nehaza vahe'ene, kefo avu'ava nehaza vahe'ene, vahe'zante kezmasane nehaza vahe'ene, havi anumzante mono hunentaza vahe'mo'za, Kraisine, Anumzamofo kumara e'origahaze.
6 Kakungabi lamuntu olikhohlisayo ngamazwi ayize; ngoba ngenxa yalezizinto ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luyehlela phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli.
Hagi atrenkeno mago nemo'a avufa'a omne keretira reramatga osino, na'ankure e'i ana zamo Anumzamofo rimpa he'zana erino kema nontahiza vahetera ne-e.
7 Ngakho lingabi ngabahlanganyeli labo.
E'i zanku ana vahe'enena tragotetma omaniho.
8 Ngoba lake laba ngumnyama, kodwa khathesi liyikukhanya eNkosini; hambani njengabantwana bokukhanya,
Na'ankure korapara hanizampi mani'nazane, hianagi menina Ramofo masafi mofavre'aza hutma, ana msafi vano hutma maniho.
9 ngoba isithelo sikaMoya sikubo bonke ubuhle lokulunga leqiniso,
Na'ankure msazamofo raga'a, knare'zama hu'zane, fatgozama hu'zane, tamage kema hu'za fore nehie.
10 lihlolisise okuthokozisayo eNkosini;
Maraguzatitma Rantamimofo avema nesiaza rempi hiho.
11 njalo lingahlanganyeli lemisebenzi yobumnyama engelazithelo, kodwa-ke kulalokho solani;
Raga'a reonteno hani avu'ava zantera tragora otetma, ke huta eriama hiho.
12 ngoba kuthelela inhloni lokukhuluma ngezinto ezenziwa yibo ekusithekeni.
Na'ankure asane osuga'zanku vahe'mokizmi zamagesafina havizama oku'a nehaza zankura tagaze hugahianki hutma antahitama osiho.
13 Kodwa konke okusolwayo yikukhanya kuyabonakaliswa; ngoba konke okubonakaliswayo kuyikukhanya,
Hianagi masamo'ma remsa maka zantamina higeno'a, oku'a me'nea kefo zantmimo'a amate efore nehie.
14 ngakho uthi: Phaphama wena oleleyo uvuke kwabafileyo, njalo uKristu uzakukhanyisela.
Na'ankure hakarezama tavi'mo'ma eri ama nehigeno, e'i ana agafare amanage hu'ne, Kavu'ma mase'namoka kavunaso, fri'pintira otio, ana hanankeno Kraisi'a remsa hugantegahie. (Ais 26:19.)
15 Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi lihamba njani ngonanzelelo, kungabi njengezithutha, kodwa njengabahlakaniphileyo,
E'i zanku kama vano hananana kva huo, antahi'za omne vahe knara osunka, antahi'za me'nea vahe kna huo,
16 lihlenga isikhathi, ngoba insuku zimbi.
kazigazi hutma maka knafina knare eri'za e'neritma maniho, na'ankure menina kefozamo hakare hu'neanknafi nemanune.
17 Ngakho lingabi yizithutha, kodwa liqedisisa okuyintando yeNkosi.
E'i zanku tamagra negi vahe knara osutma, Rantimofo avesi'zama hanaza zankuke tamagesa antahiho.
18 Njalo lingadakwa liwayini, okukulo umsindo, kodwa gcwaliswani nguMoya,
Waini tina netma negia oneho, na'ankure anazamo tamazeri haviza hugahie. Hianagi atrenkeno Avamu'mo tamagu'afina avitena,
19 likhulumisana ngezihlabelelo langamahubo okudumisa langezingoma zomoya, lihlabelele licule eNkosini enhliziyweni yenu,
atruma nehanutma, Deviti zagame ene (Sam zagamere), mono zagame'ene, avamu'mofo zagame'enena nehutma, Rantmimofona tamagu'areti musena hunenteta,
20 limbonga njalo uNkulunkulu loBaba ngazo zonke izinto ebizweni leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,
hakare zupa maka zampina Ranti Jisas Kraisi agifi, Anumza Nafatimofona musena hunteho.
21 lizehlisela ngaphansi omunye komunye ekumesabeni uNkulunkulu.
Hagi Kraisina antahi'nemitma rumokizmia ovesinte avesinte hiho.
22 Bafazi, zehliseleni ngaphansi kwawenu amadoda, njengeNkosini,
A'nemotma, Ramofo agorga nemaniza kna huta tamavenanehe'i agorga maniho.
23 ngoba indoda iyinhloko yomfazi, njengoba uKristu laye eyinhloko yebandla, njalo yena unguMsindisi womzimba.
Na'ankure vemo'a, a'mofona aseni'a mani'ne. Kraisi'a anahu kna huno mono kevumofo aseni'a mani'ne. Agra ana mono kevu mofo avufa'a mani'neno aza huno avare'ne.
24 Kodwa njengoba-ke ibandla lehliselwe ngaphansi kukaKristu, ngokunjalo labafazi kwawabo amadoda kuyo yonke into.
Hianagi mono kevumo'za Kraisi kvafi nemanizankna hu'za, a'nemo'za nezmave kvafi maka'zana anazanke hu'za hugahaze.
25 Madoda, thandani abenu abafazi, njengoKristu laye walithanda ibandla, wasezinikelela lona;
Vene'nemotma, a'ne tmia tamagu'areti zmavesi zamanteho, Kraisi'ma mono kevu'agu agu'areti avesi zamanteno zamahoke heno ana a'ku (sios) fri'nea kna hiho.
26 ukuze azingcwelisele lona, eselihlambulule ngesihlambo samanzi ngelizwi,
Ana nehuno Agra'a mono naga'mofona zamazeri ruotge huzmanteno tinuti sese hiankna huno ke'anu sese huzmante'ne.
27 ukuze azimisele lona, ibandla elilenkazimulo, elingelachatha, kumbe umxhele kumbe okunye nje, kodwa ukuze libe ngcwele lingelacala.
Anama hu'neana zamavareno Agrarega zamantesige'za, ana mono kevumo'za masazampima pehena omneno, kasmu' oneno, avufa ohakne: otage hu'za fatgo zampi hazenke omnenke'za manisnazegu ana hu'ne.
28 Ngokunjalo amadoda afanele ukuthanda abawo abafazi njengeyawo imizimba. Othanda owakhe umfazi, uyazithanda yena;
Hagi anazanke hu'za vene'nemo'za a'ne zamia, zamagra zamufagu zamavema nesia kna hu'za zmavesi zamanteho. Aza'o nenaronku avesima nentemo'a, agra'agu avesinente.
29 ngoba kakho owake wazonda eyakhe inyama, kodwa uyayondla ayiphathe kuhle, njengalokhu leNkosi isenza kubandla;
Na'ankure maka vahe'mo'za zamagra zamufagura zamagora note, hianagi zamagra zamufagu avesinte'za ne'za nemi'za, kegava hazankna huno Kraisi'a mono' kevu'are kegava nehie.
30 ngoba siyizitho zomzimba wakhe, okwenyama yakhe lokwamathambo akhe.
Na'ankure tagra Agri mago avufa mani'none.
31 Ngenxa yalokhu umuntu uzatshiya uyise lonina anamathele kumkakhe, njalo laba ababili bazakuba nyamanye.
E'i ana agafare Vemo'a nefane, nererane znatreno, nenaro'ene eri hagerafige'ne, tarega'mokea magoke znavufaza hugaha'e. (Anumzamofo avon tafepi amanage huno krente'ne, Jen-Agf 2:24.)
32 Inkulu le imfihlo; kodwa mina ngikhuluma ngoKristu lebandla.
Amama oku'a me'nea antahi'zamo'a, razantfa se'ne, hu'neanagi nagrama nehuana Kraisinku ene, mono kevu'agu nehue.
33 Ngalokho lonke ngokukhethekileyo lani-ke, ngulowo lalowo kathande ngokunjalo owakhe umfazi njengaye; lomfazi ukuze ahloniphe indoda.
Anahuga hianagi, amu'nontamifina mago mago'mo'a nenaronkura avesi nenteno agra avufagu agesa nentahiankna nehnigeno, nenaro'a anazanke huno nevena antahi nemino ke'a erizafa hugahie.
