Ephesians 5
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children;
atO yUyaM priyabAlakA ivEzvarasyAnukAriNO bhavata,
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.
khrISTa iva prEmAcAraM kuruta ca, yataH sO'smAsu prEma kRtavAn asmAkaM vinimayEna cAtmanivEdanaM kRtvA grAhyasugandhArthakam upahAraM balinjcEzvarAca dattavAn|
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:
kintu vEzyAgamanaM sarvvavidhAzaucakriyA lObhazcaitESAm uccAraNamapi yuSmAkaM madhyE na bhavatu, EtadEva pavitralOkAnAm ucitaM|
4 Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks.
aparaM kutsitAlApaH pralApaH zlESOktizca na bhavatu yata EtAnyanucitAni kintvIzvarasya dhanyavAdO bhavatu|
5 For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of 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 man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief.
anarthakavAkyEna kO'pi yuSmAn na vanjcayatu yatastAdRgAcArahEtOranAjnjAgrAhiSu lOkESvIzvarasya kOpO varttatE|
7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them.
tasmAd yUyaM taiH sahabhAginO na bhavata|
8 For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light.
pUrvvaM yUyam andhakArasvarUpA AdhvaM kintvidAnIM prabhunA dIptisvarUpA bhavatha tasmAd dIptEH santAnA iva samAcarata|
9 For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth;
dIptE ryat phalaM tat sarvvavidhahitaiSitAyAM dharmmE satyAlApE ca prakAzatE|
10 Proving what is well pleasing to God:
prabhavE yad rOcatE tat parIkSadhvaM|
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
yUyaM timirasya viphalakarmmaNAm aMzinO na bhUtvA tESAM dOSitvaM prakAzayata|
12 For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
yatastE lOkA rahami yad yad Acaranti taduccAraNam api lajjAjanakaM|
13 But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.
yatO dIptyA yad yat prakAzyatE tat tayA cakAsyatE yacca cakAsti tad dIptisvarUpaM bhavati|
14 Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.
EtatkAraNAd uktam AstE, "hE nidrita prabudhyasva mRtEbhyazcOtthitiM kuru| tatkRtE sUryyavat khrISTaH svayaM tvAM dyOtayiSyati|"
15 See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise,
ataH sAvadhAnA bhavata, ajnjAnA iva mAcarata kintu jnjAnina iva satarkam Acarata|
16 But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
samayaM bahumUlyaM gaNayadhvaM yataH kAlA abhadrAH|
17 Wherefore become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God.
tasmAd yUyam ajnjAnA na bhavata kintu prabhOrabhimataM kiM tadavagatA bhavata|
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury; but be ye filled with the holy Spirit,
sarvvanAzajanakEna surApAnEna mattA mA bhavata kintvAtmanA pUryyadhvaM|
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord;
aparaM gItai rgAnaiH pAramArthikakIrttanaizca parasparam AlapantO manasA sArddhaM prabhum uddizya gAyata vAdayata ca|
20 Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father:
sarvvadA sarvvaviSayE'smatprabhO yIzOH khrISTasya nAmnA tAtam IzvaraM dhanyaM vadata|
21 Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.
yUyam IzvarAd bhItAH santa anyE'parESAM vazIbhUtA bhavata|
22 Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:
hE yOSitaH, yUyaM yathA prabhOstathA svasvasvAminO vazaggatA bhavata|
23 Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.
yataH khrISTO yadvat samitE rmUrddhA zarIrasya trAtA ca bhavati tadvat svAmI yOSitO mUrddhA|
24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.
ataH samiti ryadvat khrISTasya vazIbhUtA tadvad yOSidbhirapi svasvasvAminO vazatA svIkarttavyA|
25 Husbands, love your wives, as 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, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:
sa khrISTO'pi samitau prItavAn tasyAH kRtE ca svaprANAn tyaktavAn yataH sa vAkyE jalamajjanEna tAM pariSkRtya pAvayitum
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish.
aparaM tilakavalyAdivihInAM pavitrAM niSkalagkAnjca tAM samitiM tEjasvinIM kRtvA svahastE samarpayitunjcAbhilaSitavAn|
28 So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
tasmAt svatanuvat svayOSiti prEmakaraNaM puruSasyOcitaM, yEna svayOSiti prEma kriyatE tEnAtmaprEma kriyatE|
29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth 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, of his flesh, and of his bones.
yatO vayaM tasya zarIrasyAggAni mAMsAsthIni ca bhavAmaH|
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.
EtadarthaM mAnavaH svamAtApitarO parityajya svabhAryyAyAm AsaMkSyati tau dvau janAvEkAggau bhaviSyataH|
32 This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.
EtannigUPhavAkyaM gurutaraM mayA ca khrISTasamitI adhi tad ucyatE|
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: and let the wife fear her husband.
ataEva yuSmAkam EkaikO jana Atmavat svayOSiti prIyatAM bhAryyApi svAminaM samAdarttuM yatatAM|
