Ephesians 4
1 Minu Polo, ndidi mu nloko mu diambu di Pfumu ndikululeba, ludiatila mu khadulu yifuanikini ayi mbila yoyo kalutedila.
I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, urge you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
2 Bika luba batu bazebi kukikulula; badi nlembami ayi mvibudulu. Bika, mu luzolo, kadika mutu kazaba kanga ntima mu diambu di ndiandi.
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
3 Lunuana ngolo mu keba kithuadi mu Pheve Yinlongo, mu nzila yi ndembama.
being eager to keep the unity of the Rukha in the bond of peace.
4 Nitu yidi yimosi kaka ayi Pheve yidi yimosi kaka. Bobuawu Nzambi wulutela ku diana dimosi.
There is one body, and one Rukha, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
5 Pfumu yidi yimosi kaka, minu kidi kimosi kaka ayi mbotokolo yidi yimosi kaka.
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 Nzambi widi wumosi kaka, niandi dise di babo, wunyadilanga batu boso, wunsalanga mu babo ayi widi mu babo.
one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
7 Vayi kadika mutu mu beto wutambula nlemvo boso bubela dikaba di Klisto.
But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Meshikha.
8 Diawu katubila: Bu kakuma ku Diyilu, wunata basi nloko ayi wuvana batu makaba.
Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people."
9 Vayi diambu diadi: wukuma ku Diyilu buevi dinsundula e? Dinsundula wutuama kuluka kuna tsi ntoto.
Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 Mutu wowo wukuluka, niandi kuandi wukuma ku yilu vioka diyilu mu diambu kawesa bima bioso.
He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11 Bila niandi wuvana dikaba kuidi bankaka mu ba bamvuala, bankakamimbikudi, bankaka minsamuni mi Nsamu Wumboti, bankaka mimvungi ayi bankaka minlongi.
He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 Wuvanga buawu mu diambu di fuanisa banlongo mu sala kisalu kiawu ayi mu diambu di thungulu yi nitu yi Klisto;
for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Meshikha;
13 nate beto boso tuela tula mu kithuadi kimosi mu minu ayi mu zaba bumboti Muana Nzambi ayi mu tula mu tezo ki mutu wuyunduka; mutu wowo wudedikini mu khudulu yiduka yi Klisto.
until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature person, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Meshikha;
14 Buna tulendi buela ba bana balezi ko, bobo bannatungu ayi bandiengosongo kuidi yoso-yoso pheve yi malongi meti singimina mu luvunulu batu ayi mu diela diawu di mbimbi di sadila zinzila zimbimbi mu diambu di zimbisa batu.
that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by cleverness in deceitful schemes;
15 Vayi beto zingilanga boso buididi mu luzolo, buna tuela yunduka mu mamo nate kuidi Klisto; niandi ntu wu Dibundu.
but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Meshikha;
16 Mu niandi nitu yimvimba yidi yiyikakana ayi yibundana bumboti mu madikulu madi mu nitu. Buna kadika nama bu kieti sala kisalu kiandi mu bufuana, nitu yimvimba yilembo yunduka ayi yilembo tungu yawu veka mu luzolo.
from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
17 Tala diambu ndikulukamba ayi ndibuela vutudila mu Pfumu ti: lubika buela diatila banga Bapakanu, banlandakananga mayindu mawu ma buvungisi
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the nations also walk, in the futility of their mind,
18 ayi diela diawu didi mu tombi. Diawu badidi banzenza mu luzingu lu Nzambi mu diambu di buvulu buidi mu bawu, buntotukilanga mu mintimamiawu midi banga matadi.
being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts;
19 Bazimbisa mambu moso momo ma kimutu; bakiyekula mu vanganga mambuma tsoni mu diambu bavanga mambu moso masumuka ma phila mu phila.
who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 Vayi buawu ko beno lulongukila Klisto.
But you did not learn Meshikha that way;
21 Bila beno lusudika mambu momo batuba mu diambu diandi ayi momo balulonga mu niandi mu phila yi mambu ma kiedika madi mu Yesu.
if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Yeshua:
22 Buna lubika nzingulu eno yi khulu, luloza kimutu kieno kikhulu kiokizinzinunu zi luvunu zilembo bivisa.
that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
23 Vayi lukituka bamona mu pheve yi diela dieno.
and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 Bika luvuata mutu wumona, wuvangulu boso bubela mayindu ma Nzambi, mu busonga ayi mu bunlongo bu kiedika.
and put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25 Diawu lubika vunasana beno na beno, vayi, bika kadika mutu katuba mambu ma kiedika kuidi ndiandi, bila beto boso tuidi binama bi nitu yimosi.
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
26 Enati fuema lufuemini, lukeba tala luedi vola masumu; lubika lunda nganzi nate va masika.
"Be angry, but do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your anger,
27 Lubika vana satana diluaku.
neither give place to the devil.
28 Mutu wowo wubedi yibanga bika kabika buivi; vayi bika kasala ayi kasala mu mioko miandi kisalu kioki kidi kifuana mu diambu kabakabiobi kafueti kabudila bobo badi basukama.
Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
29 Bika mambu mambimbi mabika totukila mu miunu mieno. Vayi momo kaka madi mamboti, mafueni mu tunga minu boso buididi zitsatu ziawu mu diambu mamonisa mamboti kuidi batu bobo balembo wa mawu.
Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
30 Lubika monisa pheve Yinlongo yi Nzambi kiadi bila mu Pheve beni Nzambi katudila dimbu kiandi mu beno mu diambu di lumbu ki khudulu.
Do not grieve the Rukha d'Qudsha of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Bika mambu ma ndudi, ma kikhesi, ma nganzi ayi ma yamikinina, ma mfingulu mabotuka mu beno va kimosi ayi mambu mamo mambimbi.
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
32 Bika kadika mutu kamonika mutu wumboti kuidi ndiandi; lumonasanangakiadi, lulemvukilanga badieno banga bobo Nzambi kalulemvukila mu Klisto.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Meshikha forgave you.
