Ephesians

5

1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
1እንግዲህ እንደ ተወደዱ ልጆች እግዚአብሔርን የምትከተሉ ሁኑ፥
2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
2ክርስቶስም ደግሞ እንደ ወደዳችሁ ለእግዚአብሔርም የመዓዛ ሽታ የሚሆንን መባንና መሥዋዕትን አድርጎ ስለ እናንተ ራሱን አሳልፎ እንደ ሰጠ በፍቅር ተመላለሱ።
3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
3ለቅዱሳን እንደሚገባ ግን ዝሙትና ርኵሰት ሁሉ ወይም መመኘት በእናንተ ዘንድ ከቶ አይሰማ፤
4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
4የሚያሳፍር ነገርም የስንፍና ንግግርም ወይም ዋዛ የማይገቡ ናቸውና አይሁኑ፥ ይልቁን ምስጋና እንጂ።
5For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
5ይህን እወቁ፤ አመንዝራም ቢሆን ወይም ርኵስ ወይም የሚመኝ እርሱም ጣዖትን የሚያመልክ በክርስቶስና በእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ርስት የለውም።
6Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
6ከዚህ የተነሣ በማይታዘዙት ልጆች ላይ የእግዚአብሔር ቁጣ ይመጣልና ማንም በከንቱ ንግግር አያታልላችሁ።
7Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
7እንግዲህ ከእነርሱ ጋር ተካፋዮች አትሁኑ፤
8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
8ቀድሞ ጨለማ ነበራችሁና፥ አሁን ግን በጌታ ብርሃን ናችሁ፤
9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
9የብርሃኑ ፍሬ በበጎነትና በጽድቅ በእውነትም ሁሉ ነውና ለጌታ ደስ የሚያሰኘውን እየመረመራችሁ፥ እንደ ብርሃን ልጆች ተመላለሱ፤
10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11ፍሬም ከሌለው ከጨለማ ሥራ ጋር አትተባበሩ፥ ይልቁን ግለጡት እንጂ፥
11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12እነርሱ በስውር ስለሚያደርጉት መናገር እንኳ ነውር ነውና፤
12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13ሁሉ ግን በብርሃን ሲገለጥ ይታያል፤ የሚታየው ሁሉ ብርሃን ነውና።
13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14ስለዚህ። አንተ የምትተኛ ንቃ ከሙታንም ተነሣ ክርስቶስም ያበራልሃል ይላል።
14Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15እንግዲህ እንደ ጥበበኞች እንጂ ጥበብ እንደሌላቸው ሳይሆን እንዴት እንድትመላለሱ በጥንቃቄ ተጠበቁ፤
15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16ቀኖቹ ክፉዎች ናቸውና ዘመኑን ዋጁ።
16Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17ስለዚህ የጌታ ፈቃድ ምን እንደ ሆነ አስተውሉ እንጂ ሞኞች አትሁኑ።
17Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18መንፈስ ይሙላባችሁ እንጂ በወይን ጠጅ አትስከሩ ይህ ማባከን ነውና፤
18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19በመዝሙርና በዝማሬ በመንፈሳዊም ቅኔ እርስ በርሳችሁ ተነጋገሩ፤ ለጌታ በልባችሁ ተቀኙና ዘምሩ፤
19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20ሁልጊዜ ስለ ሁሉ በጌታችን በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ስም አምላካችንንና አባታችንን ስለ ሁሉ አመስግኑ።
20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21ለእያንዳንዳችሁ በክርስቶስ ፍርሃት የተገዛችሁ ሁኑ።
21Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22ሚስቶች ሆይ፥ ለጌታ እንደምትገዙ ለባሎቻችሁ ተገዙ፤
22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23ክርስቶስ ደግሞ የቤተ ክርስቲያን ራስ እንደ ሆነ እርሱም አካሉን የሚያድን እንደ ሆነ ባል የሚስት ራስ ነውና።
23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24ዳሩ ግን ቤተ ክርስቲያን ለክርስቶስ እንደምትገዛ እንዲሁ ሚስቶች ደግሞ በሁሉ ለባሎቻቸው ይገዙ።
24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25ባሎች ሆይ፥ ክርስቶስ ደግሞ ቤተ ክርስቲያንን እንደ ወደዳት ሚስቶቻችሁን ውደዱ፤ በውኃ መታጠብና ከቃሉ ጋር አንጽቶ እንዲቀድሳት ስለ እርስዋ ራሱን አሳልፎ ሰጠ፤
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
27እድፈት ወይም የፊት መጨማደድ ወይም እንዲህ ያለ ነገር ሳይሆንባት ቅድስትና ያለ ነውር ትሆን ዘንድ ክብርት የሆነችን ቤተ ክርስቲያን ለራሱ እንዲያቀርብ ፈለገ።
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
28እንዲሁም ባሎች ደግሞ እንደ ገዛ ሥጋቸው አድርገው የገዛ ሚስቶቻቸውን ሊወዱአቸው ይገባቸዋል። የገዛ ሚስቱን የሚወድ ራሱን ይወዳል፤
27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
29ማንም የገዛ ሥጋውን የሚጠላ ከቶ የለምና፥ ነገር ግን የአካሉ ብልቶች ስለሆንን፥ ክርስቶስ ደግሞ ለቤተ ክርስቲያን እንዳደረገላት፥ ይመግበዋል ይከባከበውማል።
28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
31ስለዚህ ሰው አባቱንና እናቱን ይተዋል ከሚስቱም ጋር ይተባበራል ሁለቱም አንድ ሥጋ ይሆናሉ።
29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
32ይህ ምሥጢር ታላቅ ነው፥ እኔ ግን ይህን ስለ ክርስቶስና ስለ ቤተ ክርስቲያን እላለሁ።
30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
33ሆኖም ከእናንተ ደግሞ እያንዳንዱ የገዛ ሚስቱን እንዲህ እንደ ራሱ አድርጎ ይውደዳት፥ ሚስቱም ባልዋን ትፍራ።
31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
