¹Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,

¹Tume san le shave kai si drago le Devleske, kerdion sar leste.

²and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.

²Ai phiren ande dragostia sar O Kristo kai sas les dragostia amenge, diape wo ka Del amenge sar ek podarka ai ek sakrifis ka Del kai kandel shukar ai kai plachal les Devles.

³But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;

³Tume san o narodo le Devlesko, no akana chi trobul te avel chi iek kurvia, ai chi iek bi vuzhimos, vai te avel tumenge drago so si le kolavres, chi iek anda kadala dieli te na aven mashkar tumende.

⁴and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.

⁴Ai nai chi mishto te mothon zhangale vorbi, dzile vai chorhe; numa mai bini te naisin le Devles.

⁵For this ye are [well] informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

⁵Ke tume zhanen mishto, chi iek manush kai kerel o kurvimos, vai o bi vuzho manush, vai o manush kai mangel so si nai lesko, vai manush kai rhugilpe kal ikoni, chi zhala ando rhaio le Kristosko ai le Devlesko.

⁶Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

⁶Te na dziliarel tume khonik dzile vorbensa, ke pala kasavendar dosha si kai e xoli le Devleski si te avel pe kodola kai chi mangen te pachan lesko mui.

⁷Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them;

⁷Te na avel tume kanchi ka save manushensa.

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

⁸Tume sanas mai anglal ando tuniariko, numa akana kai san le Devlesa ande vediara. Phiren sar manush kai si la vediarake.

⁹(for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth,)

⁹Ke e vediara kerel but lashimos, ai so si vorta, ai o chachimos.

¹⁰proving what is agreeable to the Lord;

¹⁰Len sama so si drago le Devleski.

¹¹and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove [them],

¹¹Ai te na avel tume kanchi kodolensa kai keren dieli intaino, ai kai si le tuniarikoske. Numa keren te sikadion kodola dieli ande vediara.

¹²for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.

¹²Inker lazhav amenge te mothas so kodola manush keren chordanes.

¹³But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.

¹³Kana sa kodola dieli thodine le ande vediara, dichol mishto so si kodola dieli.

¹⁴Wherefore he says, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.

¹⁴Ke so godi si porhime kerdiol vediara. Ke E Vorba le Devleski mothol, "Wushti opre tu kai soves. Wushti opre mashkar le mule! Ai O Kristo anela tuke e vediara."

¹⁵See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,

¹⁵Len sama mishto sar phiren. Na phiren sar manush kai chi zhanen, numa sar manush kai zhanen.

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁶Keren mishtimos ando sako diela kai maladiol tumenge, ke andel diesa kai traiisaras chorhe le.

¹⁷For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord.

¹⁷Anda kodia, na aven dzile, numa thon zor te haliaren sar O Del mangel te keren.

¹⁸And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

¹⁸Na machon le molasa, ke kodia kerela te avel tume xhorho traio; numa te aven pherdo ando Swunto Duxo.

¹⁹speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;

¹⁹Den duma iekavreske andel vorbi le Psalmoske, ai jilia, ai le jilia le Devleske, jilaben jilia ai Psalms ka Del, ai luvudin les sa tumare ilesa.

²⁰giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

²⁰Sagda de naisimos ka Del ai O Dat ando anav amaro Devleske O Jesus Kristo pala swako fielo.

²¹submitting yourselves to one another in [the] fear of Christ.

²¹Respektin iek kavreske pala kai si tume le Kristoske.

²²Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord,

²²Rhomniale, respektin tumare rhomen, sar respektin le Devles.

²³for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. *He* [is] Saviour of the body.

²³Ke o rhom si o gazda peska rhomniako sar O Kristo si o gazda la khangeriako; ke O Kristo si o skepitori la khangeriako ke e khangeri si lesko stato.

²⁴But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.

²⁴Sa le rhomnia trobul te respektin penge rhomen ande swako fielo sar e khangeri respektil le Kristos.

²⁵Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,

²⁵Tume le rhom, te avel tumenge drago tumare rhomnia saikfielo sar O Kristo sas leske drago e khangeri ai dia pesko traio.

²⁶in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word,

²⁶Wo kerdia kadia te kerel andai khangeri te sai avel le Devleski kana xaladia la le paiesa ai la vorbasa.

²⁷that *he* might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.

²⁷Ke mangel te nakhavel angla peste e khangeri, ande sa pesko shukarimos, ande pesko vuzhimos, ai bi doshako, bi pechetengo, ai chi iek avre doshensa.

²⁸So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁸No le rhom trobul te avel lenge drago lenge rhomnia sar si lenge drago pengo stato. Kodo kai drago leske leski rhomni wo drago lo peske.

²⁹For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:

²⁹Khonik shoxar nas leske gratsia lesko stato; numa pravarel peske statos ai lel sama lestar, sar O Kristo lel sama katar e khangeri;

³⁰for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.]

³⁰Ke ame sam manush anda lesko stato, e khangeri.

³¹Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

³¹E Vorba le Devleski mothol, "Pala kodia, o rhom mekela peske dades ai peska da te traiil peska rhomniasa, ai andal dui zhene kerdiola ferdi iek."

³²This mystery is great, but *I* speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.

³²Baro chachimos mothol E Vorba le Devleski ai trutno te haliarel, me haliarel ke pa Kristo mothol ai pai e khangeri.

³³But *ye* also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife [I speak] that she may fear the husband.

³³Numa vi tumenge si te len tume pala late: trobul swako rhom te avel leske drago leski rhomni sar si wo peske drago, ai swako rhomni te respektil peske rhomnes.
