Ephesians

5

1ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܀
1Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
2ܘܗܠܟܘ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܒܢ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܢ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܘܕܒܚܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܪܝܚܐ ܒܤܝܡܐ ܀
2Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
3ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܟܠܗ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܘܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܡܫܬܡܗܘ ܬܫܬܡܗ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܐܐ ܠܩܕܝܫܐ ܀
3But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
4ܘܠܐ ܨܘܚܝܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܠܐ ܕܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܕܒܙܚܐ ܐܘ ܕܫܥܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܒܥܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܠܦ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܀
4nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
5ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܙܢܝܐ ܐܘ ܛܢܦܐ ܐܘ ܥܠܘܒܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܦܠܚ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
5Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
6ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܛܥܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܠܐ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܐ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܢܘܬܐ ܀
6Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
7ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܬܦܐ ܀
7Therefore don’t be partakers with them.
8ܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܀
8For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
9ܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܛܒܘܬܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܩܘܫܬܐ ܀
9for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
10ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܫܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܢ ܀
10proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
11ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܘܬܦܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܟܘܢܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
11Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
12ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܛܘܫܝܝ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܢܕܝܕ ܗܘ ܐܦ ܠܡܡܠܠܘܬܗ ܀
12For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
13ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܘܡܬܓܠܐ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܓܠܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܘ ܀
13But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
14ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܝܪ ܕܐܬܬܥܝܪ ܕܡܟܐ ܘܩܘܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܢܢܗܪ ܠܟ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
14Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15ܚܙܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܙܗܝܐܝܬ ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܤܟܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܀
15Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
16ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܩܐܪܤܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܘܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀
16redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܚܤܝܪܝ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܡܢܘ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
17Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܘܝܢ ܒܚܡܪܐ ܕܒܗ ܐܝܬ ܐܤܘܛܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܡܠܘ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܀
18Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
19ܘܡܠܠܘ ܥܡ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܒܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܘܒܬܫܒܚܬܐ ܘܒܙܡܝܪܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܙܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܀
19speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܟܠܢܫ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܀
20giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
21ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܒܚܘܒܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
21subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
22ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܬܝܢ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܢ ܠܒܥܠܝܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܀
22Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23ܡܛܠ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܪܫܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܪܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܗܘܝܘ ܡܚܝܢܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܀
23For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
24ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܠܒܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܀
24But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
25ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܒܘ ܢܫܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܒ ܠܥܕܬܗ ܘܢܦܫܗ ܐܫܠܡ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܗ ܀
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;
26ܕܢܩܕܫܝܗ ܘܢܕܟܝܗ ܒܤܚܝܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܘܒܡܠܬܐ ܀
26that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
27ܘܢܩܝܡܝܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܟܕ ܡܫܒܚܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܛܘܠܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܩܡܛܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܡ ܀
27that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28ܗܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܚܒܘܢ ܢܫܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܦܓܪܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܗܘ ܡܚܒ ܀
28Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
29ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܤܢܐ ܦܓܪܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܬܪܤܐ ܠܗ ܘܝܨܦ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܥܕܬܗ ܀
29For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
30ܡܛܠ ܕܗܕܡܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܦܓܪܗ ܘܡܢ ܒܤܪܗ ܚܢܢ ܘܡܢ ܓܪܡܘܗܝ ܀
30because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
31ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܢܩܦ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܤܪ ܀
31“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”
32ܗܢܐ ܐܪܙܐ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܕܬܗ ܀
32This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.
33ܒܪܡ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܪܚܡ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܢܦܫܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܕܚܠܐ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܗ ܀
33Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
