Ephesians 5
1 Therfor be ye foloweris of God, as moost dereworthe sones;
γίνεσθε οὖν μιμηταὶ τοῦ θεοῦ, ὡς τέκνα ἀγαπητά,
2 and walke ye in loue, as Crist louyde vs, and yaf hym silf for vs an offryng and a sacrifice to God, in to the odour of swetnesse.
καὶ περιπατεῖτε ἐν ἀγάπῃ, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν ⸀ἡμᾶςκαὶ παρέδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ⸀ἡμῶνπροσφορὰν καὶ θυσίαν τῷ θεῷ εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας.
3 And fornycacioun, and al vnclennesse, or aueryce, be not named among you, as it bicometh holi men;
Πορνεία δὲ καὶ ⸂ἀκαθαρσία πᾶσα ἢ πλεονεξία μηδὲ ὀνομαζέσθω ἐν ὑμῖν, καθὼς πρέπει ἁγίοις,
4 ethir filthe, or foli speche, or harlatrye, that perteyneth not to profit, but more doyng of thankyngis.
καὶ αἰσχρότης καὶ μωρολογία ἢ εὐτραπελία, ⸂ἃ οὐκ ἀνῆκεν, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία.
5 For wite ye this, and vndurstonde, that ech letchour, or vnclene man, or coueytouse, that serueth to mawmetis, hath not eritage in the kingdom of Crist and of God.
τοῦτο γὰρ ⸀ἴστεγινώσκοντες ὅ ι πᾶς πόρνος ἢ ἀκάθαρτος ἢ πλεονέκτης, ⸀ὅ ἐστιν εἰδωλολάτρης, οὐκ ἔχει κληρονομίαν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ.
6 No man disseyue you bi veyn wordis; for whi for these thingis the wraththe of God cam on the sones of vnbileue.
Μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω κενοῖς λόγοις, διὰ ταῦτα γὰρ ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ἀπειθείας.
7 Therfor nyle ye be maad parteneris of hem.
μὴ οὖν γίνεσθε συμμέτοχοι αὐτῶν·
8 For ye weren sum tyme derknessis, but now `ye ben liyt in the Lord. Walke ye as the sones of liyt.
ἦτε γάρ ποτε σκότος, νῦν δὲ φῶς ἐν κυρίῳ· ὡς τέκνα φωτὸς περιπατεῖτε,
9 For the fruyt of liyt is in al goodnesse, and riytwisnesse, and treuthe.
ὁ γὰρ καρπὸς τοῦ ⸀φωτὸςἐν πάσῃ ἀγαθωσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ,
10 And preue ye what `thing is wel plesynge to God.
δοκιμάζοντες τί ἐστιν εὐάρεστον τῷ κυρίῳ·
11 And nyle ye comyne to vnfruytouse werkis of derknessis; but more repreue ye.
καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε,
12 For what thingis ben don of hem in priuy, it is foule, yhe, to speke.
τὰ γὰρ κρυφῇ γινόμενα ὑπʼ αὐτῶν αἰσχρόν ἐστιν καὶ λέγειν·
13 And alle thingis that ben repreuyd of the liyt, ben opynli schewid; for al thing that is schewid, is liyt.
τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐλεγχόμενα ὑπὸ τοῦ φωτὸς φανεροῦται,
14 For which thing he seith, Rise thou that slepist, and rise vp fro deth, and Crist schal liytne thee.
πᾶν γὰρ τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστιν. διὸ λέγει· Ἔγειρε, ὁ καθεύδων, καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ Χριστός.
15 Therfor, britheren, se ye, hou warli ye schulen go;
Βλέπετε οὖν ⸂ἀκριβῶς πῶς περιπατεῖτε, μὴ ὡς ἄσοφοι ἀλλʼ ὡς σοφοί,
16 not as vnwise men, but as wise men, ayenbiynge tyme, for the daies ben yuele.
ἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν, ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιν.
17 Therfor nyle ye be maad vnwise, but vndurstondynge which is the wille of God.
διὰ τοῦτο μὴ γίνεσθε ἄφρονες, ἀλλὰ ⸀συνίετετί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ κυρίου·
18 And nyle ye be drunkun of wyn, in which is letcherie, but be ye fillid with the Hooli Goost; and speke ye to you silf in salmes,
καὶ μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ, ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἀσωτία, ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν πνεύματι,
19 and ymnes, and spiritual songis, syngynge and seiynge salm in youre hertis to the Lord;
λαλοῦντες ⸀ἑαυτοῖςψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς, ᾄδοντες καὶ ⸀ψάλλοντεςτῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν τῷ κυρίῳ,
20 euermore doynge thankingis for alle thingis in the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist to God and to the fadir.
εὐχαριστοῦντες πάντοτε ὑπὲρ πάντων ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρί,
21 Be ye suget togidere in the drede of Crist.
ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις ἐν φόβῳ Χριστοῦ.
22 Wymmen, be thei suget to her hosebondis,
Αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ⸀ἀνδράσινὡς τῷ κυρίῳ,
23 as to the Lord, for the man is heed of the wymman, as Crist is heed of the chirche; he is sauyour of his bodi.
ὅτι ἀνήρ ἐστιν κεφαλὴ τῆς γυναικὸς ὡς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς κεφαλὴ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, ⸀αὐτὸςσωτὴρ τοῦ σώματος.
24 But as the chirche is suget to Crist, so wymmen to her hosebondis in alle thingis.
ἀλλὰ ⸀ὡςἡ ἐκκλησία ὑποτάσσεται τῷ Χριστῷ, οὕτως καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ⸀τοῖςἀνδράσιν ἐν παντί.
25 Men, loue ye youre wyues, as Crist louyde the chirche, and yaf hym silf for it, to make it holi;
Οἱ ἄνδρες, ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς ⸀γυναῖκας καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησεν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς,
26 and clenside it with the waisching of watir, in the word of lijf,
ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ῥήματι,
27 to yyue the chirche gloriouse to hym silf, that it hadde no wem, ne ryueling, or ony siche thing, but that it be hooli and vndefoulid.
ἵνα παραστήσῃ ⸀αὐτὸςἑαυτῷ ἔνδοξον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, μὴ ἔχουσαν σπίλον ἢ ῥυτίδα ἤ τι τῶν τοιούτων, ἀλλʼ ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ἄμωμος.
28 So and men `schulen loue her wyues, as her owne bodies. He that loueth his wijf, loueth hym silf;
οὕτως ὀφείλουσιν ⸀καὶοἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾶν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας ὡς τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα· ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἑαυτὸν ἀγαπᾷ,
29 for no man hatide euere his owne fleisch, but nurischith and fostrith it, as Crist doith the chirche.
οὐδεὶς γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σάρκα ἐμίσησεν, ἀλλὰ ἐκτρέφει καὶ θάλπει αὐτήν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ ⸀Χριστὸςτὴν ἐκκλησίαν,
30 And we ben membris of his bodi, of his fleisch, and of his boonys.
ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν τοῦ σώματος ⸀αὐτοῦ
31 For this thing a man schal forsake his fadir and modir, and he schal drawe to his wijf; and thei schulen be tweyne in o fleisch.
ἀντὶ τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος ⸀τὸν⸀πατέρακαὶ ⸀τὴνμητέρα καὶ προσκολληθήσεται ⸂τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν.
32 This sacrament is greet; yhe, Y seie in Crist, and in the chirche.
τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο μέγα ἐστίν, ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω εἰς Χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν.
33 Netheles ye alle, ech man loue his wijf as hym silf; and the wijf drede hir hosebonde.
πλὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς οἱ καθʼ ἕνα ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα οὕτως ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν, ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἵνα φοβῆται τὸν ἄνδρα.
