Ephesians 4
Umoja Katika Mwili Wa Kristo
1 aBasi, mimi niliye mfungwa wa Bwana, nawasihi mwenende kama inavyostahili wito wenu mlioitiwa. 2 bKwa unyenyekevu wote na upole, mkiwa wavumilivu, mkichukuliana kwa upendo. 3 cJitahidini kudumisha umoja wa Roho katika kifungo cha amani. 4 dKuna mwili mmoja na Roho mmoja, kama vile mlivyoitwa katika tumaini moja. 5 eTena kuna Bwana mmoja, imani moja, ubatizo mmoja, 6 fMungu mmoja ambaye ni Baba wa wote, aliye juu ya yote, katika yote na ndani ya yote.7 gLakini kila mmoja wetu amepewa neema kwa kadiri ya kipimo cha kipawa cha Kristo. 8 hKwa hiyo husema:
“Alipopaa juu zaidi, ▼
▼Juu zaidi hapa ina maana mbingu za mbingu.
aliteka mateka,
akawapa wanadamu vipawa.”
9 j(Asemapo “alipaa juu,” maana yake nini isipokuwa ni kusema pia kwamba Kristo alishuka pande za chini sana za dunia? ▼
▼Pande za chini sana za dunia hapa maana yake Sheol kwa Kiebrania, yaani Kuzimu.
10 lYeye aliyeshuka ndiye alipaa juu zaidi kupita mbingu zote, ili apate kuujaza ulimwengu wote.) 11 mNdiye aliweka wengine kuwa mitume, wengine kuwa manabii, wengine kuwa wainjilisti, wengine kuwa wachungaji na walimu, 12 nkwa kusudi la kuwakamilisha watakatifu kwa ajili ya kazi za huduma, ili kwamba mwili wa Kristo upate kujengwa 13 ompaka sote tutakapoufikia umoja katika imani na katika kumjua sana Mwana wa Mungu na kuwa watu wazima kwa kufikia kimo cha ukamilifu wa Kristo. 14 pIli tusiwe tena watoto wachanga, tukitupwatupwa huku na huku na kuchukuliwa na kila upepo wa mafundisho kwa hila za watu, kwa ujanja, kwa kufuata njia zao za udanganyifu. 15 qBadala yake, tukiambiana kweli kwa upendo, katika mambo yote tukue, hata tumfikie yeye aliye kichwa, yaani, Kristo. 16 rKutoka kwake, mwili wote ukiwa umeungamanishwa na kushikamanishwa pamoja kwa msaada wa kila kiungo, hukua na kujijenga wenyewe katika upendo, wakati kila kiungo kinafanya kazi yake.
Maisha Ya Zamani Na Maisha Mapya
17 sHivyo nawaambia hivi, nami nasisitiza katika Bwana kwamba, msiishi tena kama watu wa Mataifa waishivyo, katika ubatili wa mawazo yao. 18 tWatu hao akili zao zimetiwa giza na wametengwa mbali na uzima wa Mungu kwa sababu ya ujinga wao kutokana na ugumu wa mioyo yao. 19 uWakiisha kufa ganzi, wamejitia katika mambo ya ufisadi na kupendelea kila aina ya uchafu, wakiendelea kutamani zaidi.20Lakini ninyi, hivyo sivyo mlivyojifunza Kristo. 21 vKama hivyo ndivyo ilivyo, ninyi mmemsikia, tena mmefundishwa naye, vile kweli ilivyo katika Yesu. 22 wMlifundishwa kuuvua mwenendo wenu wa zamani, utu wenu wa kale, ulioharibiwa na tamaa zake za udanganyifu, 23 xili mfanywe upya roho na nia zenu, 24 ymkajivike utu mpya, ulioumbwa sawasawa na mfano wa Mungu katika haki yote na utakatifu.
Kanuni Za Maisha Mapya
25 zKwa hiyo kila mmoja wenu avue uongo na kuambiana kweli mtu na jirani yake, kwa maana sisi sote tu viungo vya mwili mmoja. 26 aaMkikasirika, msitende dhambi, wala jua lisichwe mkiwa bado mmekasirika, 27 abwala msimpe ibilisi nafasi. 28 acYeye ambaye amekuwa akiiba, asiibe tena, lakini lazima ajishughulishe, afanye kitu kifaacho kwa mikono yake mwenyewe, ili awe na kitu cha kuwagawia wahitaji.29 adManeno mabaya yasitoke vinywani mwenu, bali yale yafaayo kwa ajili ya kuwajenga wengine kulingana na mahitaji yao, ili yawafae wale wasikiao. 30 aeWala msimhuzunishe Roho Mtakatifu wa Mungu, ambaye kwake mlitiwa muhuri kwa ajili ya siku ya ukombozi. 31 afOndoeni kabisa uchungu, ghadhabu, hasira, makelele na masingizio pamoja na kila aina ya uovu. 32 agKuweni wafadhili na wenye kuhurumiana ninyi kwa ninyi, mkisameheana, kama vile naye Mungu katika Kristo alivyowasamehe ninyi.
