1 Ecebo cakendi ame, ndasungwa mujele cebo ca kusebensela Mwami Yesu, ndamusengengeti mwende mubuyumi kwelana ne Lesa ncalamwambila pacindi ncalamukuwa.
Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς, ἐγὼ ὁ δέσμιος ἐν ˚Κυρίῳ, ἀξίως περιπατῆσαι τῆς κλήσεως ἧς ἐκλήθητε,
2 Cindi conse kamubani balicepesha babomba moyo, bekalika cali. Leshani lusuno lwenu pakulekelelana umo ne munendi.
μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πραΰτητος, μετὰ μακροθυμίας, ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων ἐν ἀγάπῃ,
3 Kamwinsani ciliconse ncemwela kukonsha kwambeti musunge lwikatano ndomulapewanga kufuma mu Mushimu Uswepa uwo ulamwikatanyanga mu lumuno
σπουδάζοντες τηρεῖν τὴν ἑνότητα τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος ἐν τῷ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης.
4 Pali mubili umo kayi pali Mushimu Uswepa umowa, nako kupembelela ni kumo uko Lesa nkwalamukwila.
Ἓν σῶμα καὶ ἓν ˚Πνεῦμα, καθὼς καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν μιᾷ ἐλπίδι τῆς κλήσεως ὑμῶν,
5 Kuli Mwami umowa, lushomo lumo kayi ne lubatisho lumowa.
εἷς ˚Κύριος, μία πίστις, ἓν βάπτισμα,
6 Kayi kuli Lesa umowa Ishetu twense, Mwami wa bonse, uyo ukute kusebensa kupitila muli bonse kayi uli mu bantu bonse.
εἷς ˚Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ πάντων, ὁ ἐπὶ πάντων, καὶ διὰ πάντων, καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν.
7 Umo ne umo wanjafwe walatambula cipo camwelela capalubasu kwelana ne mwelo Klistu ngwakute kupa.
Ἑνὶ δὲ ἑκάστῳ ἡμῶν ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις, κατὰ τὸ μέτρον τῆς δωρεᾶς τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ.
8 Mbuli Mabala ncalambangeti, “Lino mpwalatanta Kwilu kukakumeko walamantilila bakaili bangi ne kupa bipo ku bantu.”
Διὸ λέγει, “Ἀναβὰς εἰς ὕψος, ᾐχμαλώτευσεν αἰχμαλωσίαν, ἔδωκεν δόματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις.”
9 Inga awa maswi akwambeti, “Walatanta” Alapandululunga cani? Maswi awa alapandululungeti walaseluka nanshi pacishi capanshi.
Τὸ δὲ, “ἀνέβη”, τί ἐστιν, εἰ μὴ ὅτι καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὰ κατώτερα μέρη τῆς γῆς;
10 Neco uyo walaseluka pacishi capanshi endiye walatanta Kwilu Kumayoba, kwambeti acanikenga kulikonse pa cindi conse.
Ὁ καταβὰς αὐτός ἐστιν καὶ ὁ ἀναβὰς ὑπεράνω πάντων τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἵνα πληρώσῃ τὰ πάντα.
11 Endiye walapa bipo kubantu pakubasaleti nabambi babe batumwa, nabambi kuba bashinshimi nabambi kuba beshikukambauka Mulumbe Waina nabambi kuba bembeshi kayi ne beshikwiyisha.
Καὶ αὐτὸς ἔδωκεν τοὺς μὲν ἀποστόλους, τοὺς δὲ προφήτας, τοὺς δὲ εὐαγγελιστάς, τοὺς δὲ ποιμένας καὶ διδασκάλους,
12 Walenseco, kwambeti bantu ba Lesa babe balibambileti basebense ncito yakuyuminisha mubili wa Klistu.
πρὸς τὸν καταρτισμὸν τῶν ἁγίων εἰς ἔργον διακονίας, εἰς οἰκοδομὴν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ,
13 Mpaka twense tukaboweti muntu umo mukushoma kwetu, kayi ne kumwishiba cena Mwanendi Lesa, nitukabe bantu bakula mubuyumi bwakumushimu nekushika pabwikalo bwapwililila bwa Klistu.
μέχρι καταντήσωμεν οἱ πάντες εἰς τὴν ἑνότητα τῆς πίστεως, καὶ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, εἰς ἄνδρα τέλειον, εἰς μέτρον ἡλικίας τοῦ πληρώματος τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ,
14 Nteti tukabeti batwanike bela kunyakwa ne mankape kayi ne kumantika kuya uku ne uku ne lukupwe lutekalikana lwakwiyisha kwa bantu bandemishibili, abo bakute kutwala banabo mubwipishi kupitila mu mung'ambilo yabucenjeshi.
ἵνα μηκέτι ὦμεν νήπιοι, κλυδωνιζόμενοι καὶ περιφερόμενοι παντὶ ἀνέμῳ τῆς διδασκαλίας ἐν τῇ κυβείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἐν πανουργίᾳ πρὸς τὴν μεθοδείαν τῆς πλάνης,
15 Nsombi afwe twela kwamba cancinencine kupitila mulusuno, kwambeti tukule munshila iliyonse muli Klistu, nendi emutwi wa mubungano.
ἀληθεύοντες δὲ ἐν ἀγάπῃ, αὐξήσωμεν εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα, ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλή ˚Χριστός,
16 Nendi elendeleshenga bilama byonse bya mubili ne kubikatanya pamo. Cilama ciliconse ca mubili canungwa ne mishisa. Lino na cilama ciliconse cisebensa ncito yaco, mubili wonse ukute kukula ne kulibaka mulusuno.
ἐξ οὗ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα, συναρμολογούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον διὰ πάσης ἁφῆς τῆς ἐπιχορηγίας κατʼ ἐνέργειαν ἐν μέτρῳ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου μέρους, τὴν αὔξησιν τοῦ σώματος ποιεῖται εἰς οἰκοδομὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ.
17 Lino mu Lina lya Mwami, ndamwambilinga ne moyo wonse, kwambeti kamutekalangeti bantu batamwinshi Lesa, pakwinga miyeyo yabo niyabulyo.
Τοῦτο οὖν λέγω καὶ μαρτύρομαι ἐν ˚Κυρίῳ, μηκέτι ὑμᾶς περιπατεῖν, καθὼς καὶ τὰ ἔθνη περιπατεῖ ἐν ματαιότητι τοῦ νοὸς αὐτῶν.
18 Manjeyaulwa abo ali mu mushinshe. Baliyapo lubasu luli lonse mubuyumi ubo Lesa mbwalapanga, cebo ca bumbutuma bwabo ne kuyuma myoyo.
Ἐσκοτωμένοι τῇ διανοίᾳ ὄντες, ἀπηλλοτριωμένοι τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, διὰ τὴν ἄγνοιαν τὴν οὖσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς, διὰ τὴν πώρωσιν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν,
19 Baliya ne nsoni ayi, cabo nikwinso'wa bintu byaipa nkabalitibuku pakwinsa bintu byaipa bya mushobo uliwonse.
οἵτινες ἀπηλγηκότες, ἑαυτοὺς παρέδωκαν τῇ ἀσελγείᾳ εἰς ἐργασίαν ἀκαθαρσίας πάσης ἐν πλεονεξίᾳ.
20 Muliya kwiyapo eti Klistu encalikubeco sobwe.
Ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἐμάθετε τὸν ˚Χριστόν,
21 Nicakubinga amwe mwalanyumfwa sha makani alambanga sha Klistu, pakuba bantu bamushoma, mwalayiya cancinencine cili muli Yesu.
εἴ γε αὐτὸν ἠκούσατε καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐδιδάχθητε, καθώς ἐστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ,
22 Neco kamutendanga mu bwikalo bwenu bukulukulu, ubo bwalikumononga ne lunkumbwa lwaipa lwali kumutayisha mukondo.
ἀποθέσθαι ὑμᾶς κατὰ τὴν προτέραν ἀναστροφὴν τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον, τὸν φθειρόμενον κατὰ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ἀπάτης,
23 Myoyo ne manjeyaulwa enu asanduke kuba a linolino.
ἀνανεοῦσθαι δὲ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ νοὸς ὑμῶν,
24 Kamufwalani buyumi bwa linolino, ubo Lesa mbwalalenga mu cikoshanyo cakendi kwambeti bantu bonse baboneti mwekala mubuyumi bwalumbuluka.
καὶ ἐνδύσασθαι τὸν καινὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν κατὰ ˚Θεὸν, κτισθέντα ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ὁσιότητι τῆς ἀληθείας.
25 Neco, lekani bwepeshi, umo ne umo ambenga cancinencine ku munendi, pakwinga twense tobilama bya mubili wa Klistu.
Διὸ ἀποθέμενοι τὸ ψεῦδος, “λαλεῖτε ἀλήθειαν ἕκαστος μετὰ τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ”, ὅτι ἐσμὲν ἀλλήλων μέλη.
26 Nambi mukalala, kamutaleka bukalu bwenu bumutwale kubwipishi, lisuba kalitebila kamuli mwakalala.
“Ὀργίζεσθε, καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε”· ὁ ἥλιος μὴ ἐπιδυέτω ἐπὶ παροργισμῷ ὑμῶν,
27 Kamutamupa Satana mwanya wa kumusunka.
μηδὲ δίδοτε τόπον τῷ διαβόλῳ.
28 Abo balikukute cinga ca kwiba baleke kwiba, batatike kusebensa cangofu ne makasa abo kwambeti balinyamfwenga bene kayi ne kunyamfwako bapenshi.
Ὁ κλέπτων μηκέτι κλεπτέτω, μᾶλλον δὲ κοπιάτω, ἐργαζόμενος ταῖς χερσὶν τὸ ἀγαθόν, ἵνα ἔχῃ μεταδιδόναι τῷ χρείαν ἔχοντι.
29 Maswi aliwonse amucobwe katapulanga pamulomo penu, nsombi maswi enu abe akuyuminisha mbuli ncecilayandikinga kwambeti balanyumfunga abakondweleshe.
Πᾶς λόγος σαπρὸς ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν μὴ ἐκπορευέσθω, ἀλλʼ εἴ τις ἀγαθὸς πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν τῆς χρείας, ἵνα δῷ χάριν τοῖς ἀκούουσιν.
30 Kayi kamutanyumfwishanga nsoni Mushimu Uswepa wa Lesa, pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa ecando cilaleshengeti njamwe banabendi Lesa ico ncabika pali njamwe cakwinshibilako mpaka cindi Lesa nceti akamupulushe.
Καὶ μὴ λυπεῖτε τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἐν ᾧ ἐσφραγίσθητε εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπολυτρώσεως.
31 Neco kamulekani mfundilishi, kupelana, ne kukalala. Kamutaba beshi kukalauka, nambi kutukana nambi kuba ne miyeyo yaipa ya mushobo uliwonse.
Πᾶσα πικρία, καὶ θυμὸς, καὶ ὀργὴ, καὶ κραυγὴ, καὶ βλασφημία, ἀρθήτω ἀφʼ ὑμῶν σὺν πάσῃ κακίᾳ.
32 Nomba kamubani baina moyo, kamubani baliyaba kunyamfwa bantu, beshi kulekelelana umo ne munendi mbuli Lesa ncalamulekelela kupitila muli Klistu.
Γίνεσθε εἰς ἀλλήλους χρηστοί, εὔσπλαγχνοι, χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς, καθὼς καὶ ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν.
