¹Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,

¹Haddaba ahaada kuwo ku dayda Ilaah idinkoo ah sida carruur la jecel yahay.

²and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

²Jacayl ku socda siduu Masiixuba idiin jeclaa, oo uu nafsaddiisii inoogu bixiyey inuu Ilaah u ahaado qurbaan iyo allabari oo uu ahaado caraf udgoon.

³and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

³Laakiinse sida ay quduusiinta ugu eg tahay, marnaba yaan dhexdiinna laga sheegin sino, iyo wasakh oo dhan, iyo damacnimo,

⁴also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, — the things not fit — but rather thanksgiving;

⁴iyo ceeb, iyo hadal nacasnimo ah, iyo kaftan bilaash ah, oo aan idinku habboonayn, laakiinse waxaa idinku wacan mahadnaqid.

⁵for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.

⁵Waayo, taas waad taqaaniin in dhillay, ama qof wasakh ah, ama nin damac xun oo sanam caabudaa, uusan innaba dhaxal ku lahayn boqortooyada Masiix iyo Ilaah.

⁶Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

⁶Ninnaba yuusan idinku khiyaanayn hadal aan micne lahayn; waayo, waxyaalahaas daraaddood ayaa cadhada Ilaah ugu soo degtaa carruurta caasinimada.

⁷become not, then, partakers with them,

⁷Sidaas daraaddeed ha ahaanina kuwa iyaga waxyaalahaas la qaybsada; waayo, mar baad ahaydeen gudcur,

⁸for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,

⁸haatanse waxaad Rabbiga ku tihiin nuur; haddaba u socda sida carruurta nuurka,

⁹for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,

⁹waayo, midhaha nuurku waxay ku wada jiraan wanaag iyo xaqnimo iyo run oo dhan.

¹⁰proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,

¹⁰Tijaabiya waxa Rabbigu aad ugu farxo,

¹¹and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,

¹¹oo innaba xidhiidh ha la yeelanina shuqullada aan midhaha lahayn oo gudcurka, laakiinse kashifa;

¹²for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,

¹²waayo, waxay qarsoodiga ku sameeyaan waa ceeb xataa in laga hadlo.

¹³and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;

¹³Laakiinse wax kastaba markii la kashifo ayaa lagu muujiyaa nuurka; waayo, wax alla wixii la muujiyaaba waa nuur.

¹⁴wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.`

¹⁴Sidaas daraaddeed isagu wuxuu yidhi, Kaaga hurdow toos, oo kuwii dhintay ka kac, oo Masiixuna waa ku iftiimin doonaa.

¹⁵See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

¹⁵Haddaba ka digtoonaada sidaad u socotaan, oo ha u soconina sida kuwo aan caqli lahayn, laakiinse u socda sida kuwo caqli leh.

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

¹⁶Wakhtiga ka faa'iidaysta, maxaa yeelay, maalmuhu shar bay leeyihiin.

¹⁷because of this become not fools, but — understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,

¹⁷Sidaas daraaddeed nacasyo ha ahaanina, laakiinse garta waxa ay doonista Rabbigu tahay.

¹⁸and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,

¹⁸Ha ku sakhraamina khamriga rabshadu ku jirto, laakiinse Ruuxu ha idinka buuxsamo.

¹⁹speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

¹⁹Iskula hadla sabuurro iyo heeso ammaan ah iyo gabayo xagga ruuxa, idinkoo gabyaya oo Rabbiga qalbigiinna ka ammaanaya.

²⁰giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;

²⁰Mar kasta Ilaaha Aabbaha ah wax walba mahad ugu naqa magaca Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix.

²¹subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.

²¹Midkiinba midka kale ha iska hoosaysiiyo idinkoo Masiixa ka cabsanaya.

²²The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,

²²Dumar yahow, nimankiinna ka dambeeya sidaad Rabbiga uga dambaysaan.

²³because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

²³Waayo, ninku waa madaxa afada sida Masiixuba u yahay madaxa kiniisadda isagoo ah badbaadiyaha jidhka.

²⁴but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.

²⁴Laakiinse sida kiniisaddu uga dambayso Masiixa, afooyinkuna ha uga dambeeyeen nimankooda xagga wax kastaba.

²⁵The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

²⁵Nimankow, idinkuna afooyinkiinna u jeclaada siduu Masiixuba u jeclaaday kiniisadda oo uu nafsaddiisii u bixiyey iyada aawadeed,

²⁶that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,

²⁶inuu quduus ka dhigo oo ku nadiifiyo maydhidda biyaha xagga erayga,

²⁷that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

²⁷si uu kiniisadda isugu keeno iyadoo qurux badan, oo aan lahayn ama bar ama duudduub ama wax la mid ah, laakiinse inay ahaato mid quduus ah oo aan iin lahayn.

²⁸so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife — himself he doth love;

²⁸Haddaba sidaas oo kale nimanka waxaa ku waajib ah inay afooyinkooda u jeclaadaan sida jidhkooda oo kale. Waayo, kii afadiisa jeclaadaa wuxuu jeclaadaa nafsaddiisa;

²⁹for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord — the assembly,

²⁹maxaa yeelay, ninna weligiis ma nebcaan jidhkiisa, laakiinse wuu quudiyaa, wuuna xannaaneeyaa, sida Masiixuba u xannaaneeyo kiniisadda;

³⁰because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

³⁰waayo, innagu waxaynu nahay xubnihii jidhkiisa.

³¹`for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be — the two — for one flesh;`

³¹Oo sababtaas aawadeed nin wuxuu ka tegayaa aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis, wuxuuna la joogayaa naagtiisa, oo labaduba waxay noqonayaan isku jidh.

³²this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

³²Qarsoodiganu waa weyn yahay, laakiinse waxaan ka hadlayaa Masiixa iyo kiniisadda.Habase yeeshee idinka midkiin waluba afadiisa ha u jeclaado sida naftiisa oo kale, oo afaduna ninkeeda ha maamuusto.

³³but ye also, every one in particular — let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife — that she may reverence the husband.

³³Habase yeeshee idinka midkiin waluba afadiisa ha u jeclaado sida naftiisa oo kale, oo afaduna ninkeeda ha maamuusto.
