Ephesians 5
1 Therefore be imitators of God, as His dear children.
Kanaaf akkuma ijoollee jaallatamootti fakkeenya Waaqaa duukaa buʼaa;
2 And live and act lovingly, as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up to death on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice to God, yielding a fragrant odor.
akkuma Kiristoos nu jaallatee nuufis jedhee akka aarsaa fi qalma urgaaʼuutti Waaqaaf of kenne sana isinis jaalalaan deddeebiʼaa.
3 But fornication and every kind of impurity, or covetousness, let them not even be mentioned among you, for they ought not to be named among God's people.
Garuu waaʼeen halalummaa yookaan xuraaʼummaa gosa kamii iyyuu yookaan waaʼeen doqnummaa gidduu keessanitti hin dhagaʼamin; wanni akkasii qulqulloota Waaqaa biratti hin barbaachisuutii.
4 Avoid shameful and foolish talk and low jesting--they are all alike discreditable--and in place of these give thanks.
Galateeffachuu malee haasaan qaanii yookaan dubbiin gowwummaa kan faayidaa hin qabne yookaan qoosaan namatti hin tolle isin gidduu hin jiraatin.
5 For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber--or in other words idol-worshipper--has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.
Halaleen yookaan xuraaʼaan yookaan sassattuun jechuunis kan Waaqa tolfamaa waaqeffatu mootummaa Kiristoosii fi kan Waaqaa keessaa akka dhaala tokko illee hin qabne beekaa.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming upon the disobedient.
Namni tokko iyyuu dubbii faayidaa hin qabneen isin hin gowwoomsin; sababii waan akkanaatiif dheekkamsi Waaqaa warra hin ajajamnetti ni dhufaatii.
7 Therefore do not become sharers with them.
Kanaafuu isin waan isaan hojjetan keessatti hin hirmaatinaa.
8 There was a time when you were nothing but darkness. Now, as Christians, you are Light itself.
Isin dur dukkana turtaniitii; amma garuu Gooftaadhaan ifa taataniirtu. Akka ijoollee ifaatti jiraadhaa;
9 Live and act as sons of Light--for the effect of the Light is seen in every kind of goodness, uprightness and truth--
iji ifaa gaarummaa, qajeelummaa fi dhugaa hunda keessatti argamaatii;
10 and learn in your own experiences what is fully pleasing to the Lord.
waan Gooftaa gammachiisu qoradhaa bira gaʼaa.
11 Have nothing to do with the barren unprofitable deeds of darkness, but, instead of that, set your faces against them;
Hojii dukkanaa kan ija hin qabne saaxilaa malee irratti hin hirmaatinaa.
12 for the things which are done by these people in secret it is disgraceful even to speak of.
Waan isaan icciitiin hojjetan dubbachuun iyyuu qaaniidhaatii.
13 But everything can be tested by the light and thus be shown in its true colors; for whatever shines of itself is light.
Wanni ifni sun saaxilu hundinuu garuu ni mulʼata;
14 For this reason it is said, "Rise, sleeper; rise from among the dead, and Christ will shed light upon you."
kanaafis, “Ati yaa isa raftu, dammaqi; warra duʼan keessaas kaʼi; Kiristoos siif ibsaatii” jedhameera.
15 Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.
Egaa isin akkamitti akka jiraattan jabeessaa of eeggadhaa! Akka ogeeyyiitti jiraadhaa malee akka warra ogeeyyii hin taʼiniitti hin jiraatinaa;
16 Buy up your opportunities, for these are evil times.
waan guyyoonni kunneen hamoo taʼaniif baricha furaa.
17 On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is.
Kanaafuu fedhiin Gooftaa maal akka taʼe hubadhaa malee gowwaa hin taʼinaa.
18 Do not over-indulge in wine--a thing in which excess is so easy--
Daadhii wayiniitiin hin machaaʼinaa; kun jireenya gad dhiisiitti geessaatii. Qooda kanaa Hafuuraan guutamaa;
19 but drink deeply of God's Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and offer praise in your hearts to the Lord.
faarfannaadhaan, weedduu galataatii fi faarfannaa Hafuuraatiin wal jalaa qabaa. Garaa keessan keessatti Gooftaaf faarfadhaatii muuziiqaa dhageessisaa;
20 Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
yeroo hundas waan hundaaf maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin Waaqa Abbaa galateeffadhaa.
21 and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Sodaa Kiristoosiif qabdaniin waliif ajajamaa.
22 Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord;
Yaa niitota, akkuma Gooftaaf ajajamtanitti dhirsoota keessaniif ajajamaa.
23 because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His Body.
Akkuma Kiristoos waldaa kiristaanaatiif mataa taʼe sana dhirsi niitiif mataadhaatii; Kiristoos Fayyisaa waldaa kiristaanaa ti; waldaan kiristaanaa immoo dhagna isaa ti.
24 And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.
Egaa akkuma waldaan kiristaanaa Kiristoosiif ajajamtu, niitonnis waan hundaan dhirsoota isaaniitiif haa ajajaman.
25 Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;
Yaa dhirsoota, akkuma Kiristoos waldaa kiristaanaa jaallatee isheef of kenne sana isinis niitota keessan jaalladhaa;
26 in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal water by the word,
innis karaa dubbii isaatiin bishaaniin ishee dhiqee qulleessee akka isheen qulqulluu taatuuf,
27 that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.
waldaa kiristaanaa ulfina qabeettii, mudaa yookaan suntuura yookaan waan akkanaa tokko illee hin qabnee garuu qulqullooftuu mudaa hin qabne godhee ofitti ishee dhiʼeessuuf waan kana godhe.
28 So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Akkasuma immoo dhirsoonni niitota isaanii akkuma dhagna ofii isaaniitti jaallachuu qabu. Namni niitii ofii jaallatu of jaallata.
29 For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;
Akkuma Kiristoos waldaa kiristaanaatiif godhu sana namni kam iyyuu foon ofii ni soora; ni kunuunsas malee foon ofii hin jibbu;
30 because we are, as it were, parts of His Body.
nu kutaalee dhagna isaatii.
31 "For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one."
“Sababii kanaaf namni abbaa fi haadha isaa dhiisee niitii isaatti ni maxxana; lamaan isaanii iyyuu foon tokko ni taʼu.”
32 That is a great truth hitherto kept secret: I mean the truth concerning Christ and the Church.
Kun icciitii guddaa dha; ani garuu waaʼee Kiristoosii fi waaʼee waldaa kiristaanaa dubbadha.
33 Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.
Taʼus isin keessaa tokkoon tokkoon namaa akkuma of jaallatutti niitii ofii haa jaallatu; niitiinis dhirsa ofii haa kabajju.
