Kwabase-Efesu 5
1 Ngakho banini ngabalandeli bakaNkulunkulu, njengabantwana abathandekayo;
Nakhoina Tengban Mapugi nungsiraba machasing oiba maramna nakhoina mahakki matou loubiyu.
2 njalo lihambe ethandweni, njengalokhu uKristu laye wasithanda, wazinikelela thina abe ngumnikelo lomhlatshelo kuNkulunkulu ukuba luqhatshi olumnandi.
Christtana eikhoibu nungsibiba amadi Tengban Mapubu pelhanba manam nungsiba katnapot amadi iratpot amagum eikhoigidamak mahakki punsi pithokpa adugumna nakhoina nungsibada chatlu.
3 Kodwa ubufebe lakho konke ukungcola kumbe umhawu kakungaphathwa lakanye phakathi kwenu, njengoba kufanele abangcwele;
Adubu nakhoigi mathakta nupa nupi lannaba, nattraga sengdabagi nattraga kaarambagi maramda misingna hainahannabagi maram amata piganu, maramdi asising asi Tengban Mapugi asengba misinggidamak matik chade.
4 lamanyala, lokukhuluma okuyize, kumbe ukusoma okulenhlamba, okuyizinto ezingafanelanga; kodwa kulalokhu, ukubonga.
Aduga amotpa wangang, apangba wangang amadi phattaba phagi-jugaigi wa-ngang asi nakhoigidamak matik chade. Adugi mahutta nakhoina Tengban Mapubu thagatlu.
5 Ngoba lokhu liyakwazi, ukuthi sonke isifebe, kumbe ongcolileyo, kumbe olomhawu, ongumkhonzi wezithombe, kalalifa embusweni kaKristu lokaNkulunkulu.
Nakhoina soidana khanggadaba adudi lamchat motpa, sengdaba aduga kaaramba (maramdi kaaramba haibasi lai muri latpagi masak amani) kanagumba amatanasu Christtagi amadi Tengban Mapugi ningthou leibakta phangpham thokpa kari amata leite.
6 Kakungabi lamuntu olikhohlisayo ngamazwi ayize; ngoba ngenxa yalezizinto ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luyehlela phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli.
Mi kana amatana nakhoibu apangba waheina namthak toudasanu maramdi asigumbasing asigi maramna Tengban Mapugi asaoba adu haiba indabasing adugi mathakta lak-i.
7 Ngakho lingabi ngabahlanganyeli labo.
Maram aduna asigumba mising asiga saruk phangminnaganu.
8 Ngoba lake laba ngumnyama, kodwa khathesi liyikukhanya eNkosini; hambani njengabantwana bokukhanya,
Nakhoi matam amada amambana thallami, adubu houjikti nakhoina Ibungoda mangal oire. Maram aduna nakhoina mangalgi machasinggumna hing-u.
9 ngoba isithelo sikaMoya sikubo bonke ubuhle lokulunga leqiniso,
Maramdi aphaba, achumba chatpa amadi achumbagi marang kaiba mahei purakpa adu mangal asinani.
10 lihlolisise okuthokozisayo eNkosini;
Aduga karina Ibungobu pelhanbage haibadu khangnanaba hotnou.
11 njalo lingahlanganyeli lemisebenzi yobumnyama engelazithelo, kodwa-ke kulalokho solani;
Misingna touba amambagi oiba kannadaba thabaksing aduda yaoruganu, madugi mahutta makhoibu phongdok-u.
12 ngoba kuthelela inhloni lokukhuluma ngezinto ezenziwa yibo ekusithekeni.
Haiba indabasing aduna lonna touba thabaksing adugi maramda panba phaoba tasengna yamna ikainingngaini.
13 Kodwa konke okusolwayo yikukhanya kuyabonakaliswa; ngoba konke okubonakaliswayo kuyikukhanya,
Adubu pumnamak mangalda phongdokpa matamda makhoigi asengba machattu sengna phongdokpigani.
14 ngakho uthi: Phaphama wena oleleyo uvuke kwabafileyo, njalo uKristu uzakukhanyisela.
Maramdi pumnamakpu uba ngamhalliba adu mangalnani. Maram aduna asumna hai, “Tumliba nahak hougatlo, Asibadagi nahak hougatlo, Aduga Christtana nahakki nathakta nganbigani.”
15 Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi lihamba njani ngonanzelelo, kungabi njengezithutha, kodwa njengabahlakaniphileyo,
Maram aduna nakhoina karamna hinglibage haibadu cheksillu. Nakhoina apangba misingumna hingganu adubu asingba misinggumna hing-u.
16 lihlenga isikhathi, ngoba insuku zimbi.
Nakhoida leiba khudongchaba khudingmakpu heisingna sijinnahou maramdi matam asi phatte.
17 Ngakho lingabi yizithutha, kodwa liqedisisa okuyintando yeNkosi.
Maram aduna apangba oiganu adubu Ibungona nakhoida touhanningba adu karino haibadu khangnaba hotnou.
18 Njalo lingadakwa liwayini, okukulo umsindo, kodwa gcwaliswani nguMoya,
Nakhoina yu ngaoganu maramdi maduna nakhoigi punsi manghan-gani. Madugi mahutta Thawaina thalhallu.
19 likhulumisana ngezihlabelelo langamahubo okudumisa langezingoma zomoya, lihlabelele licule eNkosini enhliziyweni yenu,
Nakhoi amaga amagagi marakta thagat isei, laison isei, amadi thawaigi oiba iseina ngangna saknou. Aduga thamoinungda Ibungobu thagatchabaga loinana isei sak-u.
20 limbonga njalo uNkulunkulu loBaba ngazo zonke izinto ebizweni leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,
Maram pumnamakkidamak Ibungo Jisu Christtagi mingda matam pumnamakta Mapa Ibungo Tengban Mapubu thagatlu.
21 lizehlisela ngaphansi omunye komunye ekumesabeni uNkulunkulu.
Christtabu nakhoina kina luna chatchabagi maramna nakhoina amaga amaga makha ponnou.
22 Bafazi, zehliseleni ngaphansi kwawenu amadoda, njengeNkosini,
Nupisa nakhoina Ibungogi makha ponjabagumna nakhoina napuroibagi makha pollu.
23 ngoba indoda iyinhloko yomfazi, njengoba uKristu laye eyinhloko yebandla, njalo yena unguMsindisi womzimba.
Maramdi Christtana singlupki makok oibagumna mapuroibana nupigi makokni. Aduga Christta masamak mahakki hakchang oiriba singlupki kanbiba mapuni.
24 Kodwa njengoba-ke ibandla lehliselwe ngaphansi kukaKristu, ngokunjalo labafazi kwawabo amadoda kuyo yonke into.
Aduga singlupna Christtagi makha ponbagumna nupisingnasu hiram khudingmakta mapuroibagi makha ponsanu.
25 Madoda, thandani abenu abafazi, njengoKristu laye walithanda ibandla, wasezinikelela lona;
Mapuroibasa, Christtana singluppu nungsiba amadi mahakki punsi singlupkidamak katthokkhibagumna nakhoigi nupisingbu nungsiyu.
26 ukuze azingcwelisele lona, eselihlambulule ngesihlambo samanzi ngelizwi,
Mahakna masi singluppu asengba oihannaba waheigi mapanna isingna chamthokpiduna sengdokpi.
27 ukuze azimisele lona, ibandla elilenkazimulo, elingelachatha, kumbe umxhele kumbe okunye nje, kodwa ukuze libe ngcwele lingelacala.
Madu singluppu matik mangalgi singlup ama oina achuba amadi kusinba yaodana, amadi atoppa athiba kari amatasu yaodana, asengba amadi amakpa leitana masamakta katchanabagidamakni.
28 Ngokunjalo amadoda afanele ukuthanda abawo abafazi njengeyawo imizimba. Othanda owakhe umfazi, uyazithanda yena;
Masiga chap mannana mapuroibasingsu makhoi masa masamakki hakchangbu nungsibagumna makhoigi nupisingbu nungsigadabani. Mahak masagi nupibu nungsiba mahak aduna mahak masabu nungsibani.
29 ngoba kakho owake wazonda eyakhe inyama, kodwa uyayondla ayiphathe kuhle, njengalokhu leNkosi isenza kubandla;
Pumnamakki mathakta eikhoi kananasu keidounungda isagi hakchangbu tukkachaba toude. Madugi mahutta Christtana singlupta toubagumna eikhoina eikhoigi hachangbu yokkhatchei amadi yengsinjei.
30 ngoba siyizitho zomzimba wakhe, okwenyama yakhe lokwamathambo akhe.
Maramdi eikhoidi mahakki hakchanggi kayatsingni.
31 Ngenxa yalokhu umuntu uzatshiya uyise lonina anamathele kumkakhe, njalo laba ababili bazakuba nyamanye.
Mapugi Puyada haibagumna, “Maram asimakna nupa amana mahakki mama mapabu thadoktuna magi nupida punsin-gani. Aduga makhoi ani hakchang amata oigani.”
32 Inkulu le imfihlo; kodwa mina ngikhuluma ngoKristu lebandla.
Masi khangbada waba athupa wani, adubu eina Christta amasung singlupki maramda haibani.
33 Ngalokho lonke ngokukhethekileyo lani-ke, ngulowo lalowo kathande ngokunjalo owakhe umfazi njengaye; lomfazi ukuze ahloniphe indoda.
Adumakpu, mapuroiba khudingna masagi nupibu masamakpu nungsibagum nungsigadabani, aduga nupi khudingna mahakki mapuroibabu ikai khumnagadabani.
