Ephesians 5
1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
atO yUyaM priyabAlakA ivEzvarasyAnukAriNO bhavata,
2 and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell.
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 even be named among you, as becometh saints;
kintu vEzyAgamanaM sarvvavidhAzaucakriyA lObhazcaitESAm uccAraNamapi yuSmAkaM madhyE na bhavatu, EtadEva pavitralOkAnAm ucitaM|
4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
aparaM kutsitAlApaH pralApaH zlESOktizca na bhavatu yata EtAnyanucitAni kintvIzvarasya dhanyavAdO bhavatu|
5 For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, which is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and 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 empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
anarthakavAkyEna kO'pi yuSmAn na vanjcayatu yatastAdRgAcArahEtOranAjnjAgrAhiSu lOkESvIzvarasya kOpO varttatE|
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them;
tasmAd yUyaM taiH sahabhAginO na bhavata|
8 For ye were once darkness, but are now 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 light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
dIptE ryat phalaM tat sarvvavidhahitaiSitAyAM dharmmE satyAlApE ca prakAzatE|
10 proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
prabhavE yad rOcatE tat parIkSadhvaM|
11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
yUyaM timirasya viphalakarmmaNAm aMzinO na bhUtvA tESAM dOSitvaM prakAzayata|
12 for the things which 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 when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
yatO dIptyA yad yat prakAzyatE tat tayA cakAsyatE yacca cakAsti tad dIptisvarUpaM bhavati|
14 Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.
EtatkAraNAd uktam AstE, "hE nidrita prabudhyasva mRtEbhyazcOtthitiM kuru| tatkRtE sUryyavat khrISTaH svayaM tvAM dyOtayiSyati|"
15 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
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 ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
tasmAd yUyam ajnjAnA na bhavata kintu prabhOrabhimataM kiM tadavagatA bhavata|
18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;
sarvvanAzajanakEna surApAnEna mattA mA bhavata kintvAtmanA pUryyadhvaM|
19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart 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, even the Father;
sarvvadA sarvvaviSayE'smatprabhO yIzOH khrISTasya nAmnA tAtam IzvaraM dhanyaM vadata|
21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
yUyam IzvarAd bhItAH santa anyE'parESAM vazIbhUtA bhavata|
22 Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
hE yOSitaH, yUyaM yathA prabhOstathA svasvasvAminO vazaggatA bhavata|
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body.
yataH khrISTO yadvat samitE rmUrddhA zarIrasya trAtA ca bhavati tadvat svAmI yOSitO mUrddhA|
24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything.
ataH samiti ryadvat khrISTasya vazIbhUtA tadvad yOSidbhirapi svasvasvAminO vazatA svIkarttavyA|
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
aparanjca hE puruSAH, yUyaM khrISTa iva svasvayOSitsu prIyadhvaM|
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
sa khrISTO'pi samitau prItavAn tasyAH kRtE ca svaprANAn tyaktavAn yataH sa vAkyE jalamajjanEna tAM pariSkRtya pAvayitum
27 that he might present the church 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 Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own 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, even as Christ also 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.
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 the twain shall become one flesh.
EtadarthaM mAnavaH svamAtApitarO parityajya svabhAryyAyAm AsaMkSyati tau dvau janAvEkAggau bhaviSyataH|
32 This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.
EtannigUPhavAkyaM gurutaraM mayA ca khrISTasamitI adhi tad ucyatE|
33 Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see] that she fear her husband.
ataEva yuSmAkam EkaikO jana Atmavat svayOSiti prIyatAM bhAryyApi svAminaM samAdarttuM yatatAM|
