Ephesians 5
1 (Imitate/Behave like) God, because he loves you who are [as though you were] [SIM] his children.
Saboda haka ku zama masu koyi da Allah, kamar kaunatattun 'ya'yansa.
2 Do everything in a way that shows that you love [people], just like Christ loved us and willingly died for us. He offered himself [to God as a sacrifice] that was very pleasing to God, [just like Jewish priests offered] sweet-smelling [animal] sacrifices to God [MET].
Ku yi zama cikin kauna kamar yadda Almasihu ya kaunace mu, ya kuma mika kansa sadaka da hadaya ga Allah dominmu, hadaya mai kanshi abin karba ga Allah.
3 Do not commit any kind of immoral act [DOU], and do not desire more things than you need. Do not [act in such a way that others could] even (spread rumors/talk) about your acting in such ways, because it is not appropriate/fitting for God’s people to do such things.
Fasikanci ko kowacce irin kazamta, ko kazamar lalata kada a ambace su a tsakaninku, don haka ya dace ga masu bi.
4 Do not use obscene/shameful language when you talk to people. Do not talk foolishly. Do not use vulgar/indecent language, because it is not appropriate/fitting that God’s people should talk like that. Instead, tell people how much you thank [God for all he does for you].
Kada a ambaci batsa, maganar wauta ko alfasha wadanda ba su dace ba. Maimakon haka, mu zama masu godiya.
5 You can be sure of this: No person who is sexually immoral or who acts indecently/shamefully will be among those people whom God rules over [MET] [in heaven]. Neither will those who desire more things than they need. Such people worship their possessions [instead of worshipping God].
Domin wannan kun sani cewa ba fasiki, ko mara tsarki, ko mai hadama wato mai bautar gumaka zai sami gado cikin mulkin Almasihu da Allah.
6 Do not let anyone deceive you by suggesting that [God will really] not [punish people who commit such sins], because God certainly will punish [MTY] those who habitually disobey him [by doing such things].
Kada kowa ya rude ku da maganganun wofi. Saboda wadannan abubuwa ne fushin Allah ke zuwa kan kangararrun 'ya'ya.
7 So, do not commit the same kinds of deeds that such people do,
Kada ku yi tarayya tare da su.
8 because formerly you [did not know God’s truth] [MET], [as those who] are in darkness [do not know what is around them]. But now [it is as though] you are in the light [MET] [because you know God’s truth] because of your relationship with the Lord [Jesus]. So do those things that those who know God’s truth [MET] should do.
Domin da ku duhu ne, amma yanzu ku haske ne cikin Ubangiji. Sai ku yi tafiya kamar 'ya'yan haske.
9 Keep in mind that [as] light [MET] causes [good things to grow], those who know God’s truth should do those things that are good, righteous, and honest.
Saboda amfanin haske shine dukan alheri, adalci da gaskiya.
10 And as [you do that], try (to find out/to discover) what pleases the Lord.
Kuna bidar abin da Ubangiji ke murna da shi.
11 Do not do the worthless deeds that the people (who are in [spiritual] darkness/who do not know God’s truth) [MET] do. Instead, let others know that those people’s deeds are worthless.
Kada ku sa hannu ga ayyuka marasa amfani da ayyukan duhu amma gara a tone su.
12 It is shameful for God’s people to even talk [among themselves about] those evil deeds that evil people do secretly and habitually.
Don abubuwan da suke yi a boye abin kunya ne a bayyana su.
13 But when [God’s people rebuke those evil people about their deeds, it will be clear/evident how evil their deeds really are, just like] everything exposed to the light becomes visible {as light [MET] reveals everything [that we cannot see in the darkness]}.
Dukan abu, idan haske ya bayyana su, za a gan su.
14 [Just like something on which a light shines reflects that light] [MET], [whoever has learned God’s truth reveals that truth to others]. That is why [we believers] say this: You who are not aware of your sins, become aware of them [MET]! It is as though you are sound asleep, so wake up! Be like dead people who are becoming alive again! Christ will cause you to know God’s truth, just like a light [MET] that shines causes people to know what is in the darkness.
Domin duk abin da aka bayyana ya zama haske. Saboda haka aka ce, “Ka farka, kai mai barci, ka tashi daga cikin matattu; Almasihu kuwa zai haskaka bisanka”.
15 So be very careful how you behave. Do not behave as foolish people do. Instead, behave as wise people do.
Saboda haka, ku maida hankali yadda kuke rayuwar ku, ba kamar mutane marasa hikima ba amma kamar masu hikima.
16 Use your time carefully, because these days [MTY] [people do] extremely evil [deeds].
Ku yi lura yadda kuke amfani da lokaci don kwanakin miyagu ne.
17 So do not be foolish. Instead, understand what the Lord [Jesus] wants you to do, [and do it]!
Kada ku zama wawaye. Maimakon haka, ku fahimci ko menene nufin Ubangiji.
18 Do not become drunk by drinking alcoholic drinks, since people are unable to control their behavior when they are drunk. Instead, let [God’s] Spirit control your [behavior] at all times [MTY].
Kuma Kada ku bugu da ruwan inabi, don yana iya lalata rayuwa. Maimakon haka, ku cika da Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
19 Sing to each other (Psalms/songs [with words from the] Scriptures), sing [other] songs [that the congregation knows], and songs [that God’s] Spirit [gives you]. Sing these Psalms and other songs sincerely to [praise] the Lord [Jesus].
Kuna magana da junanku cikin zabura da wakoki da wakokin ruhaniya, kuna rairawa da yabo da zuciyarku ga Ubangiji.
20 At all times thank God, who is our [heavenly] Father, for everything, especially for what the Lord Jesus Christ [MTY] [has done for you].
Kullum kuna ba da gaskiya domin dukan abubuwa cikin sunan Ubangiji Yesu ga Allah Uba.
21 [Humbly] submit yourselves to each other because you reverence Christ, [who is our example].
Kuna sarayadda kanku ga juna cikin girmama Almasihu.
22 Because husbands have authority over [MET] their wives, just as all of us believers form one group [under the authority of] Christ, you women should submit yourselves to [the authority of your] husbands just as you submit yourselves to the Lord [Jesus]. He is the one who saves all his people [from the guilt of their sins].
Mata, ku yi biyayya ga mazan ku kamar ga Ubangiji.
Domin miji shine shugaban matarsa kamar yadda Almasihu yake shugaban ikilisiya. Shine kuma mai ceton jiki.
24 Just like all believers submit themselves to [the authority of] Christ, the women must submit themselves completely to the [authority of] their husbands.
Amma kamar yadda ikilisiya take biyayya ga Almasihu, haka kuma dole mata suyi ga mazajen su cikin kowanne abu.
25 Each of you husbands, love your wife as Christ loved all of [us who would become] believers, with the result that he willingly died for our sake,
Mazaje, ku kaunaci matanku kamar yadda Almasihu ya kaunaci ikilisiya har ya ba da kansa dominta,
26 in order that he might (set us apart for himself/cause us to belong to him). That is, by [revealing his] message [to us], he wanted to [remove the guilt of our sin, just like people remove dirt from something] by washing it [MET].
Ya yi wannan domin ya tsarkake ta. Ya wanke mu da ruwan wanki ta wurin kalma.
27 [Christ did that] in order that he might cause all of us believers to be a glorious group of people that belong to him, people that do not have any moral flaws/imperfections, but instead might be completely pure [DOU] when he gathers us (to his presence/to himself).
Ya yi wannan domin ya mika ma kansa ikilisiya mai daraja, ba tare da tabo ko cikas ko wani abu kamar wadannan, amma ta zama da tsarki da kuma mara aibi.
28 In the same way, each man should love his wife as he loves his own body. Men who love their wives, [it is as though] they love themselves.
Hakannan kuma, mazaje su kaunaci matansu kamar jikunnansu. Wanda yake kaunar matarsa yana kaunar kansa.
29 This is shown by the fact that no one ever hated his own body. Instead, he feeds his own body and cares for it, just like Christ also cares for all us believers. We have become one group of believers that belongs to him [MET].
Ba wanda ya taba kin jikinsa. Amma, yakan ciyadda shi yana kaunarsa, kamar yadda Almasihu ya kaunaci ikilisiya.
Domin mu gabobin jikinsa ne.
31 [What someone has written in the Scriptures about people who marry is this], [When] a man and [a] woman [marry], they should ([permanently] leave/no longer live with) their fathers and mothers. They should be joined [as husband and] wife, and the two of them shall become [as though they were] one [MET] person.
“Domin wannan mutum zai rabu da ubansa da uwarsa ya manne wa matarsa, su biyu su zama nama daya”.
32 It is very difficult to understand the meaning of these things that God has now revealed to me, but [I am telling you that] those words [also] refer to [the relationship between] Christ and all those who belong to him.
Wannan asirin gaskiyar, da girma yake, amma ina magana ne game da Almasihu da ikilisiyarsa.
33 However, as for you(pl), each man must love his wife just as he loves himself, and each woman must respect her husband.
Duk da haka, kowannenku dole ya kaunaci matarsa kamar kansa, matar kuma dole ta girmama mijinta.
