< Ephesians 5 >

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ
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.
ܘܗܠܟܘ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܒܢ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܢ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܘܕܒܚܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܪܝܚܐ ܒܤܝܡܐ
3 But immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܟܠܗ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܘܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܡܫܬܡܗܘ ܬܫܬܡܗ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܐܐ ܠܩܕܝܫܐ
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
ܘܠܐ ܨܘܚܝܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܠܐ ܕܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܕܒܙܚܐ ܐܘ ܕܫܥܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܒܥܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܠܦ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ
5 For this ye know, that no immoral, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܙܢܝܐ ܐܘ ܛܢܦܐ ܐܘ ܥܠܘܒܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܦܠܚ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܕܐܠܗܐ
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܛܥܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܠܐ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܐ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܢܘܬܐ
7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them.
ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܬܦܐ
8 For ye were once darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
ܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܠܟܘ
9 ( For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; )
ܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܛܒܘܬܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܩܘܫܬܐ
10 Proving what is acceptable to the Lord.
ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܫܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܢ
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܘܬܦܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܟܘܢܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܛܘܫܝܝ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܢܕܝܕ ܗܘ ܐܦ ܠܡܡܠܠܘܬܗ
13 But all things that are reproved are made visible by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light.
ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܘܡܬܓܠܐ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܓܠܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܘ
14 Therefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܝܪ ܕܐܬܬܥܝܪ ܕܡܟܐ ܘܩܘܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܢܢܗܪ ܠܟ ܡܫܝܚܐ
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
ܚܙܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܙܗܝܐܝܬ ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܤܟܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܟܝܡܐ
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܩܐܪܤܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܘܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܢܘܢ
17 Therefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܚܤܝܪܝ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܡܢܘ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܘܝܢ ܒܚܡܪܐ ܕܒܗ ܐܝܬ ܐܤܘܛܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܡܠܘ ܒܪܘܚܐ
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
ܘܡܠܠܘ ܥܡ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܒܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܘܒܬܫܒܚܬܐ ܘܒܙܡܝܪܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܙܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ
20 Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܟܠܢܫ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܒܚܘܒܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܬܝܢ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܢ ܠܒܥܠܝܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܪܢ
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.
ܡܛܠ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܪܫܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܪܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܗܘܝܘ ܡܚܝܢܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ
24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܠܒܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܒܘ ܢܫܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܒ ܠܥܕܬܗ ܘܢܦܫܗ ܐܫܠܡ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܗ
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
ܕܢܩܕܫܝܗ ܘܢܕܟܝܗ ܒܤܚܝܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܘܒܡܠܬܐ
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.
ܘܢܩܝܡܝܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܟܕ ܡܫܒܚܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܛܘܠܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܩܡܛܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܡ
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
ܗܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܚܒܘܢ ܢܫܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܦܓܪܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܗܘ ܡܚܒ
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܤܢܐ ܦܓܪܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܬܪܤܐ ܠܗ ܘܝܨܦ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܥܕܬܗ
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
ܡܛܠ ܕܗܕܡܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܦܓܪܗ ܘܡܢ ܒܤܪܗ ܚܢܢ ܘܡܢ ܓܪܡܘܗܝ
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܢܩܦ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܤܪ
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
ܗܢܐ ܐܪܙܐ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܕܬܗ
33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
ܒܪܡ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܪܚܡ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܢܦܫܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܕܚܠܐ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܗ
