Ephesians 5
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Xaq jeriꞌ chiwesaj uwach ri unoꞌjibꞌal ri Dios, jer chixnoꞌjin utz laj taq alkꞌwaꞌlaxelabꞌ.
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling 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 covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh 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 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
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 know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of 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 man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children 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 partakers with them.
Xaq jeriꞌ man kibꞌan ta iwachiꞌl chike.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] 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 Spirit [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 acceptable unto the Lord.
Qas chiwila bꞌa jas ri karaj ri Ajawxel.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].
Man kijunamaj ta bꞌa ikꞌuꞌx kukꞌ ri winaq ri kakibꞌan jastaq rech ri qꞌequꞌmal, xane chiꞌtzujuj.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Rumal chi kꞌixibꞌal ubꞌixik ronojel ri kakibꞌan chaꞌwal ri winaq ri man keniman taj.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Xa kꞌu ronojel ri kutunaj ri tunal, kaqꞌalajin na.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
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 then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, 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 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].
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, wherein is excess; 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 making melody in 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 always for all things unto 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 one to another in the fear of God.
Chinimaj iwibꞌ rumal nim kiwil ri Cristo.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Iꞌxoqilom chiꞌnimaj ri iwachajilal jeꞌ jas ri kibꞌan chunimaxik ri Ajawxel.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the 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 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
Jeꞌ jas ri komontyox kunimaj ri Cristo, je xuqujeꞌ ri iꞌxoqilom rajawaxik kakinimaj ronojel ri kakibꞌij ri kachajilal chike.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Aꞌchajilom, chiꞌloqꞌaj ri iwixoqilal, jeꞌ jas ri xubꞌan ri Cristo xuloqꞌaj ri komontyox xuqujeꞌ xujach ribꞌ cho ri ripbꞌal rumal rech
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
rech xutyoxirisaj, xuchꞌajchꞌobꞌej are xuchꞌajo rukꞌ jaꞌ, rumal ri utzij.
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.
Rech xujach ribꞌ chibꞌil ribꞌ jun komontyox kachuplinik, maj chꞌuluj che, xuqujeꞌ man qꞌuchuꞌch taj, xane tyox xuqujeꞌ chꞌajchꞌoj.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Ri achajilom xuqujeꞌ rajawaxik kuloqꞌaj ri rixoqil jeꞌ jas ri utyoꞌjal. Xapachin ri kuloqꞌaj ribꞌ kuloqꞌaj xuqujeꞌ ri rixoqil.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
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, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Rumal chi uj utyoꞌjal ri Cristo.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they 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 is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
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 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
Pune jeriꞌ pa jujunal bꞌa chiꞌwe chiloqꞌaj ri iwixoqil jeꞌ jas ri kibꞌan chuloqꞌaxik iwibꞌ ix, xuqujeꞌ ri ixoqilom chunimaj ri achajilom.
