Ephesians 5
1 Be you, therefore, imitators of God, as beloved children;
atO yUyaM priyabAlakA ivEzvarasyAnukAriNO bhavata,
2 and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor.
khrISTa iva prEmAcAraM kuruta ca, yataH sO'smAsu prEma kRtavAn asmAkaM vinimayEna cAtmanivEdanaM kRtvA grAhyasugandhArthakam upahAraM balinjcEzvarAca dattavAn|
3 But lewdness, and all manner of uncleanness, or covetousness, let them not be named among you, as it becomes saints;
kintu vEzyAgamanaM sarvvavidhAzaucakriyA lObhazcaitESAm uccAraNamapi yuSmAkaM madhyE na bhavatu, EtadEva pavitralOkAnAm ucitaM|
4 nor obscene language, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not becoming; but rather the cheerful words of a thankful heart.
aparaM kutsitAlApaH pralApaH zlESOktizca na bhavatu yata EtAnyanucitAni kintvIzvarasya dhanyavAdO bhavatu|
5 For you know this, that no lewd nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God.
vEzyAgAmyazaucAcArI dEvapUjaka iva gaNyO lObhI caitESAM kOSi khrISTasya rAjyE'rthata Izvarasya rAjyE kamapyadhikAraM na prApsyatIti yuSmAbhiH samyak jnjAyatAM|
6 Let no one deceive you with vain words: for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
anarthakavAkyEna kO'pi yuSmAn na vanjcayatu yatastAdRgAcArahEtOranAjnjAgrAhiSu lOkESvIzvarasya kOpO varttatE|
7 Therefore, be not partakers with them.
tasmAd yUyaM taiH sahabhAginO na bhavata|
8 For you were formerly darkness; but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light;
pUrvvaM yUyam andhakArasvarUpA AdhvaM kintvidAnIM prabhunA dIptisvarUpA bhavatha tasmAd dIptEH santAnA iva samAcarata|
9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; )
dIptE ryat phalaM tat sarvvavidhahitaiSitAyAM dharmmE satyAlApE ca prakAzatE|
10 learning what is acceptable to the Lord;
prabhavE yad rOcatE tat parIkSadhvaM|
11 and do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
yUyaM timirasya viphalakarmmaNAm aMzinO na bhUtvA tESAM dOSitvaM prakAzayata|
12 for it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by them in secret.
yatastE lOkA rahami yad yad Acaranti taduccAraNam api lajjAjanakaM|
13 But all these works, when reproved, are made manifest by the light: for every thing that makes manifest is light.
yatO dIptyA yad yat prakAzyatE tat tayA cakAsyatE yacca cakAsti tad dIptisvarUpaM bhavati|
14 Wherefore, the scripture says: Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.
EtatkAraNAd uktam AstE, "hE nidrita prabudhyasva mRtEbhyazcOtthitiM kuru| tatkRtE sUryyavat khrISTaH svayaM tvAM dyOtayiSyati|"
15 See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men,
ataH sAvadhAnA bhavata, ajnjAnA iva mAcarata kintu jnjAnina iva satarkam Acarata|
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
samayaM bahumUlyaM gaNayadhvaM yataH kAlA abhadrAH|
17 Wherefore, be not ignorant, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
tasmAd yUyam ajnjAnA na bhavata kintu prabhOrabhimataM kiM tadavagatA bhavata|
18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;
sarvvanAzajanakEna surApAnEna mattA mA bhavata kintvAtmanA pUryyadhvaM|
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
aparaM gItai rgAnaiH pAramArthikakIrttanaizca parasparam AlapantO manasA sArddhaM prabhum uddizya gAyata vAdayata ca|
20 giving thanks to our God and Father always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
sarvvadA sarvvaviSayE'smatprabhO yIzOH khrISTasya nAmnA tAtam IzvaraM dhanyaM vadata|
21 being subject one to another in the fear of God.
yUyam IzvarAd bhItAH santa anyE'parESAM vazIbhUtA bhavata|
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord:
hE yOSitaH, yUyaM yathA prabhOstathA svasvasvAminO vazaggatA bhavata|
23 for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body.
yataH khrISTO yadvat samitE rmUrddhA zarIrasya trAtA ca bhavati tadvat svAmI yOSitO mUrddhA|
24 But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing.
ataH samiti ryadvat khrISTasya vazIbhUtA tadvad yOSidbhirapi svasvasvAminO vazatA svIkarttavyA|
25 Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,
aparanjca hE puruSAH, yUyaM khrISTa iva svasvayOSitsu prIyadhvaM|
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word,
sa khrISTO'pi samitau prItavAn tasyAH kRtE ca svaprANAn tyaktavAn yataH sa vAkyE jalamajjanEna tAM pariSkRtya pAvayitum
27 in order that he might present it to himself a glorious church, having neither stain, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
aparaM tilakavalyAdivihInAM pavitrAM niSkalagkAnjca tAM samitiM tEjasvinIM kRtvA svahastE samarpayitunjcAbhilaSitavAn|
28 So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself;
tasmAt svatanuvat svayOSiti prEmakaraNaM puruSasyOcitaM, yEna svayOSiti prEma kriyatE tEnAtmaprEma kriyatE|
29 for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church:
kO'pi kadApi na svakIyAM tanum RtIyitavAn kintu sarvvE tAM vibhrati puSNanti ca| khrISTO'pi samitiM prati tadEva karOti,
30 because we are members of his body, being of his flesh, and of his bones.
yatO vayaM tasya zarIrasyAggAni mAMsAsthIni ca bhavAmaH|
31 For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.
EtadarthaM mAnavaH svamAtApitarO parityajya svabhAryyAyAm AsaMkSyati tau dvau janAvEkAggau bhaviSyataH|
32 Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church.
EtannigUPhavAkyaM gurutaraM mayA ca khrISTasamitI adhi tad ucyatE|
33 But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.
ataEva yuSmAkam EkaikO jana Atmavat svayOSiti prIyatAM bhAryyApi svAminaM samAdarttuM yatatAM|
