Ephesians 5
1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,
Xaq jeriꞌ chiwesaj uwach ri unoꞌjibꞌal ri Dios, jer chixnoꞌjin utz laj taq alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ.
2 and 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.
Chikꞌaslebꞌej jun kꞌaslemal rech loqꞌanik, jetaq ri xubꞌan ri Cristo, xujuloqꞌaj xuqujeꞌ xujach ri ukꞌaslemal jeꞌ jas jun kꞌokꞌ laj sipanik cho ri Dios.
3 But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;
Xaq jeriꞌ man kibꞌan ta bꞌa mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ, man kixjiqꞌjat ta xuqujeꞌ, man kibꞌan ta jastaq ri man e chꞌajchꞌoj taj, rumal chi man kataqiꞌ ta chike ri winaq ri uchaꞌom ri Dios.
4 and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.
Xuqujeꞌ mibꞌij itzel taq tzij, tzijitzatik ri man kꞌo ta choqꞌaqꞌ che, qꞌolobꞌal taq tzij, xuqujeꞌ tzij ri kawach kel kubꞌij. Xane are chixtyoxinoq.
5 For 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.
Rumal cher maj jun winaq ri kakꞌarkꞌatik, xuqujeꞌ kuqꞌijilaꞌj itzel taq jastaq ri man are ta Dios, ri bꞌanal mak kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ, ixoqibꞌ, karechabꞌej ri ajawarem rech ri Cristo xuqujeꞌ ri rajawarem ri Dios.
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.
Mixsubꞌutaj bꞌa rukꞌ taq ri tzijonem ri maj kupatanij, rumal chi rukꞌ waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ kape ri qꞌatoj tzij rech ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri man keniman taj.
7 Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them;
Xaq jeriꞌ man kibꞌan ta iwachiꞌl chike.
8 for ye were once darkness, but now light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light,
Rumal kꞌu cher ix qꞌequꞌmal kanoq ix nabꞌe, kamik kꞌut ix ralkꞌwaꞌl ri tunal, je bꞌa chixnoꞌjinoq jetaq ri ralkꞌwaꞌl ri tunal.
9 (for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth, )
Ri uwachinik ri tunal are ri utzilal, ri sukꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri qas tzij.
10 proving what is agreeable to the Lord;
Qas chiwila bꞌa jas ri karaj ri Ajawxel.
11 and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove [them],
Man kijunamaj ta bꞌa ikꞌuꞌx kukꞌ ri winaq ri kakibꞌan jastaq rech ri qꞌequꞌmal, xane chiꞌtzujuj.
12 for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.
Rumal chi kꞌixibꞌal ubꞌixik ronojel ri kakibꞌan chaꞌwal ri winaq ri man keniman taj.
13 But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.
Xa kꞌu ronojel ri kutunaj ri tunal, kaqꞌalajin na.
14 Wherefore he says, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.
Rumal are ri tunal kakꞌutuw ronojel ri jastaq, rumal riꞌ kubꞌij ri tzꞌibꞌatalik: Chatwaꞌjiloq at ri katwar chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ, katutunaj ri Cristo.
15 See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,
Rumal riꞌ qas chiwila na ri kixnoꞌjinik, qas chichomaj na jas ri kibꞌano, man je ta ri kixnoꞌjin kon. Xane jer chixnoꞌjin winaq ri kꞌo iwetaꞌmabꞌal.
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Utz chibꞌana chukojik ri qꞌotaj rumal cher kepe na qꞌij ri man e utz taj.
17 For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord.
Xaq jeriꞌ, man je ta kixnoꞌjin ri winaq ri maj ketaꞌmabꞌal xane chichꞌobꞌo rij ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios chiꞌwe.
18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,
Man kixqꞌabꞌar taj rukꞌ jastaq ri kaqꞌabꞌarisanik, rumal xaq kixukonarisaj, xane are chixnoj che ri Uxlabꞌixel.
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;
Chitaqchiꞌj iwibꞌ rukꞌ ri Salmos, xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ronojel uwach bꞌix. Chixbꞌixonoq xuqujeꞌ chixqꞌijilaꞌn che ri Ajawxel rukꞌ ronojel iwanimaꞌ.
20 giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Amaqꞌel chixtyoxin che ri Dios Tataxel che ronojel ri jastaq, pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
21 submitting yourselves to one another in [the] fear of Christ.
Chinimaj iwibꞌ rumal nim kiwil ri Cristo.
22 Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
Iꞌxoqilom chiꞌnimaj ri iwachajilal jeꞌ jas ri kibꞌan chunimaxik ri Ajawxel.
23 for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. He [is] Saviour of the body.
Rumal chi are ri achajilom jolomaj rech ri rixoqil, jetaq ri Cristo are jolomaj xuqujeꞌ xukol ri komontyox, rumal cher are utyoꞌjal.
24 But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.
Jeꞌ jas ri komontyox kunimaj ri Cristo, je xuqujeꞌ ri iꞌxoqilom rajawaxik kakinimaj ronojel ri kakibꞌij ri kachajilal chike.
25 Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,
Aꞌchajilom, chiꞌloqꞌaj ri iwixoqilal, jeꞌ jas ri xubꞌan ri Cristo xuloqꞌaj ri komontyox xuqujeꞌ xujach ribꞌ cho ri ripbꞌal rumal rech
26 in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word,
rech xutyoxirisaj, xuchꞌajchꞌobꞌej are xuchꞌajo rukꞌ jaꞌ, rumal ri utzij.
27 that 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.
Rech xujach ribꞌ chibꞌil ribꞌ jun komontyox kachuplinik, maj chꞌuluj che, xuqujeꞌ man qꞌuchuꞌch taj, xane tyox xuqujeꞌ chꞌajchꞌoj.
28 So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.
Ri achajilom xuqujeꞌ rajawaxik kuloqꞌaj ri rixoqil jeꞌ jas ri utyoꞌjal. Xapachin ri kuloqꞌaj ribꞌ kuloqꞌaj xuqujeꞌ ri rixoqil.
29 For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:
Rumal maj jun retzelam uwach ri utyoꞌjal, xane kutzuqu xuqujeꞌ kuchajij jeꞌ jas ri kubꞌan ri Cristo che ri komontyox.
30 for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.]
Rumal chi uj utyoꞌjal ri Cristo.
31 Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.
Rumal riꞌ, ri achi kuꞌya kan ri utat ri unan, kuꞌx jun rukꞌ ri rixoqil, xaq jeriꞌ ri e kebꞌ winaq kuꞌx xa jun tyoꞌjal.
32 This mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.
Chi riꞌ kaqil wi chi sibꞌalaj nim waꞌ we uchomanik loq ri Dios, are waꞌ ri kinchomaj in chirij ri Cristo xuqujeꞌ ri komontyox.
33 But 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.
Pune jeriꞌ pa jujunal bꞌa chiꞌwe chiloqꞌaj ri iwixoqil jeꞌ jas ri kibꞌan chuloqꞌaxik iwibꞌ ix, xuqujeꞌ ri ixoqilom chunimaj ri achajilom.
