< Ephesians 5 >
1 Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᏥᏍᏓᏩᏕᎩ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏧᎨᏳᎯ ᏧᏪᏥ;
2 and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,
ᎠᎴ ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏨᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎢᎩᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏥᏕᎦᏓᏲᎯᏎᎸᎩ, ᎠᎵᏍᎪᎸᏓᏁᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏥᎸ ᎨᎴᏗ ᏥᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᎦᎾᏍᏛ ᎤᏪᏩᏒᎢᏍᏗ.
3 and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
ᎡᏕᎵᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᏗᏂᏏᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏄᏓᎴᏒᏉ ᎦᏓᎭ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᎠᎬᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᎧᏁᎢᏍᏙᏗ ᎤᏅ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏂᎵᎶᎲᏍᎦ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ;
4 also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, — the things not fit — but rather thanksgiving;
ᏞᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎢᎸᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎵᏍᎦᏁᏛ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᏪᏢᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏃᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ; ᎠᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗᏱᏉᏍᎩᏂ [ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ] ᎤᎬᏫᏳᏎᏍᏗ.
5 for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.
ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏕᎵᏛ ᏗᏂᏏᎲᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎦᏓᎭᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᎤᎬᎥᏍᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏰᎸᎯ ᎠᏓᏙᎵᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎪᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎪᎯ.
6 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,
ᏞᏍᏗ ᎩᎶ ᎢᏥᎶᏄᎮᏔᏅᎩ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎬᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏔᎳᏬᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏂᎷᏤᎭ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏧᏪᏥ.
7 become not, then, partakers with them,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᏱᏣᏠᏯᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᎾᎵᏩᏛᎡᎲᎢ.
8 for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,
ᎢᎸᎯᏳᏰᏃ ᏥᎨᏒ ᎤᎵᏏᎬ ᎢᏤᎲᎩ, ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏛ ᎢᏤᎭ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ; ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏛ ᏧᏪᏥ ᎤᏁᏓᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏤᏙᎮᏍᏗ;
9 for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,
( ᎠᏓᏅᏙᏰᏃ ᎦᎾᏄᎪᏫᏍᎪ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎦᏰᎪᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, )
10 proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,
ᎢᏥᎪᎵᏰᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎤᏰᎸᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ.
11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,
ᎠᎴ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏗᏣᎵᎪᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎬᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎤᎵᏏᎩ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏕᏥᎬᏍᎪᎸᎥᏍᎨᏍᏗᏉᏍᎩᏂ.
12 for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,
ᎤᏕᎰᎯᏍᏗᏳᏰᏃ ᎧᏁᎢᏍᏙᏗᏱᏉ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎾᎾᏛᏁᎲ ᎤᏕᎵᏒᎢ.
13 and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;
ᏂᎦᎥᏍᎩᏂ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏗᎬᏍᎪᎸᏅᎯ ᏥᎨᏐ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ ᎬᏗ ᎬᏂᎨᎡ ᎢᏗᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏐᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏗᎬᏁᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ.
14 wherefore he saith, 'Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎦᏪᎭ, ᎯᏰᎩ ᏂᎯ ᎯᎵᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᏔᎴᎲᎦ ᎩᏯᏓᏅᏏ ᏧᏂᏲᎱᏒᎯ ᎩᏯᏓᏑᏴᎢ, ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏃ ᏓᏣᏁᎵ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ.
15 See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏣᎦᏌᏯᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎢᏣᎴᏂᏓᏍᏗᏱ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᎤᏂᏁᎫ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ, ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎾᎢᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil;
ᎢᏧᏓᎴᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎵᏱᎵᏒᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏲᎢᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.
17 because of this become not fools, but — understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏂᏦᎵᎬᎾ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎢᏦᎵᎩᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᏅᎬᏫᏳᎯ.
18 and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏞᏍᏗ ᎩᎦᎨ ᎠᏗᏔᏍᏗ ᏱᏗᏥᏴᏍᏕᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏲᎢᏳ ᏥᎩ; ᎠᏓᏅᏙᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏥᎧᎵᏬᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
ᏕᏣᎵᏃᎮᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏕᏨᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᎧᏃᎩᏍᏙᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᏗᎧᏃᎩᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᏗᎧᏃᎩᏍᏗ, ᏕᏥᏃᎩᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏙᏗᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᏗᏓᎴᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏕᏥᏃᎩᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ.
20 giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;
ᎡᏣᎵᎡᎵᏤᎮᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨᎢ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏚᏙᎥ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᎦᏤᎵ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ;
21 subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.
ᏕᏣᏓᏙᎯᏳᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᏥᎾᏰᏍᎬᎢ.
22 The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,
ᎢᏥᎨᏴ, ᎢᏨᏒ ᏗᎨᏥᏰᎯ ᏕᏦᎯᏳᏎᏍᏗ, ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᏥᎩ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
23 because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,
ᎠᏍᎦᏯᏰᏃ ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏌᏕᎩ ᎤᏓᎵᎢ ᎡᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏌᏕᎩ ᏥᎩ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬ ᎠᏁᎲᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ ᎠᏰᎸᎢ.
24 but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎬᏬᎯᏳᏗ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎠᏂᎨᏴ ᏗᎬᏩᏂᏰᎯ ᏧᏃᎯᏳᏗ ᏂᎦᎥ [ ᏂᎬᏩᏂᏪᏎᎲᎢ.]
25 The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,
ᎢᏥᏍᎦᏯ, ᏕᏥᎨᏳᏎᏍᏗ ᏗᏣᏓᎵᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏧᎨᏳᏎ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏓᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏥᏚᏓᏲᏎᎢ,
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᎢᏳᏩᏁᏗᏱ ᎦᏅᎦᎵᏍᎬᎢ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎬᏗᏍᎬᎢ ᎠᎹ ᏥᎪᏑᎴᏗᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
27 that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎠᎦᏔᎲ ᎤᏪᎪᏗᏱ ᏗᎬᏩᎸᏌᏛ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬᎢ, ᏄᏚᏯᏍᏛᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᏄᏓᏁᎪᏳᏒᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏄᏓᏓᎸᎾ; ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎾᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎾᎫᎢᏍᏛᎾ.
28 so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife — himself he doth love;
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎠᏂᏍᎦᏯ ᎤᏅᏒ ᏗᏂᏰᎸ ᏂᏚᏂᎨᏳᏒ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏱᏂᏚᏂᎨᏳᎭ ᏧᎾᏓᎵᎢ. ᎩᎶ ᎤᏓᎵᎢ ᏧᎨᏳᏐ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᏓᎨᏳᏐᎢ.
29 for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord — the assembly,
ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎠᏏ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᏳᏂᏆᏘᎶ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᏇᏓᎸᎢ; ᎨᎶᎰᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗᏍᎪᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏂᏓᏛᏁᎲ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬᎢ;
30 because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;
ᎠᏴᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏕᎦᏚᏓᏔ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏇᏓᎸ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᎪᎳ.
31 'for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be — the two — for one flesh;'
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᏕᎬᏕᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏙᏓ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏥ, ᎠᏜᏓᏩᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗᏃ ᎤᏓᎵᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎠᏂᏔᎵ ᏌᏉᏉ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎤᏂᏇᏓᎸᎢ.
32 this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;
ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏕᎵᏗᏳ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎴ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏡᎬ ᎦᏥᏁᎢᏍᏗᎭ.
33 but ye also, every one in particular — let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife — that she may reverence the husband.
