Aefeso 5
1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, tuĩkai a kwĩgerekania na Ngai, ta ciana ciendetwo mũno,
do be therefore imitators of God as children beloved
2 na mũtũũre mwendaine o ta ũrĩa Kristũ aatwendire na akĩĩruta nĩ ũndũ witũ arĩ iruta rĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega na igongona rĩrutĩirwo Ngai.
and do walk in love even as also Christ loved (us *NK(O)*) and gave up himself for (us *NK(O)*) [as] an offering and a sacrifice to God into an aroma of a sweet smell.
3 No rĩrĩ, thĩinĩ wa thiritũ yanyu gũtikanaiguĩke gũkĩgwetwo ũmaraya, kana ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wa waganu, kana ũkoroku, tondũ maũndũ macio matiagĩrĩire harĩ andũ a Ngai arĩa aamũre.
Sexual immorality however and impurity all or covetousness not even should be named among you as is proper to saints
4 O na gũtikanagĩe mĩario ya ũũra-thoni, o na kana mĩario ya ũrimũ, o na kana mĩario ya itherũ rĩtarĩ rĩega. Mĩario ta ĩyo ndĩagĩrĩire kũgwetagwo; nĩ kaba gũcookagĩria Ngai ngaatho.
and filthiness and foolish talking or crude joking (which *N(k)O*) not (were fit *N(k)O*) but rather thanksgiving.
5 Tondũ nĩmũũĩ wega na ma atĩ: gũtirĩ mũhũũri-maraya, kana mũndũ mwaganu, o na kana mũndũ mũkoroku; mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga ũguo nĩ mũhooi mĩhianano, andũ ta acio gũtirĩ ũrĩ na igai thĩinĩ wa ũthamaki wa Kristũ na wa Ngai.
This for (you should know *N(k)O*) realizing that any fornicator or unclean person or covetous man, (who *N(k)O*) is an idolater, not has inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũ amũheenie na ciugo cia tũhũ, nĩgũkorwo maũndũ ta macio nĩmo matũmaga mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai makinyĩre andũ arĩa matamwathĩkagĩra.
No one you should deceive with empty words; because of these things for comes the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũtikagĩe ngwatanĩro nao.
Not therefore do be partakers with them.
8 Nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩmwe mwarĩ nduma, no rĩu mũrĩ ũtheri thĩinĩ wa Mwathani. Tũũrai ta ciana cia ũtheri
You were for once darkness now however light in [the] Lord; as children of light do walk —
9 (nĩ ũndũ maciaro ma ũtheri monekaga thĩinĩ wa ũhoro wothe wa gwĩkana wega, na wa ũthingu, o na ũhoro wa ma),
for the fruit of the (light [is] *N(K)O*) in all goodness and in righteousness and in truth —
10 na mũtuĩrie muone maũndũ marĩa makenagia Mwathani.
discerning what is well-pleasing to the Lord.
11 Mũtikananyiitanĩre na andũ arĩa mekagĩra maũndũ nduma-inĩ marĩa matarĩ maciaro, nĩ kaba mũmoimbũrage.
And not do have fellowship with the works unfruitful of darkness, rather however even do expose [them];
12 Nĩgũkorwo o na nĩ thoni kũgweta maũndũ marĩa mekagĩrwo hitho-inĩ nĩ andũ acio aremi.
the [things] for in secret being done by them shameful it is even to mention.
13 No ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrehetwo ũtheri-inĩ nĩwonekaga,
But everything being exposed by the light is made visible; everything for which is becoming visible light is;
14 nĩgũkorwo ũtheri ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩoneke. Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga kwĩrwo atĩrĩ: “Arahũka, wee ũkomete, ũriũke uume kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, nake Kristũ nĩegũkwarĩra.”
Therefore it says: (do awake *N(k)O*) you who [are] sleeping and do rise up out from the dead, and will shine upon you Christ.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mwĩmenyererei wega ũrĩa mũrĩtũũraga, mũtigatũũrage ta andũ matarĩ ogĩ, no tũũrai ta andũ ogĩ,
do take heed therefore carefully how you walk not as unwise but as wise,
16 mũkĩhũthagĩra mweke o wothe mũrĩ naguo tondũ matukũ maya nĩ mooru.
redeeming the time, because the days evil are.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtigaikare ta andũ akĩĩgu, no ikaragai mũmenyete wega ũrĩa Mwathani endaga.
Because of this not do be foolish, but (do understand *N(k)O*) what the will of the Lord [is].
18 Ningĩ-rĩ, mũtikarĩĩo nĩ ndibei, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩĩu nĩguo ũtwaragĩrĩria mũndũ ũmaramari-inĩ. Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, iyũrwoi nĩ Roho.
And not do be drunk with wine, in which is debauchery, Instead do be filled with [the] Spirit
19 Aranagĩriai mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ na ciugo cia thaburi, na nyĩmbo cia kũinĩra Ngai, o na nyĩmbo cia kũguna maroho. Inagai na mũtungage na nyĩmbo ngoro-inĩ cianyu nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani,
speaking to each other (in *n*) psalms and in hymns and in songs spiritual, singing and making melody (in *ko*) the heart of you to the Lord,
20 na mũcookagĩrie Ngai o we Ithe witũ ngaatho maũndũ-inĩ mothe, thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
giving thanks at all times for all things in [the] name the Lord of us Jesus Christ to the God and Father;
21 Mwĩnyiihanagĩriei mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mũtĩĩte Kristũ.
Be submitting yourselves to one another in reverence (of Christ. *N(K)O*)
22 Inyuĩ atumia-rĩ, mwĩnyiihagĩriei athuuri anyu o taarĩ Mwathani mũrenyiihĩria.
you who [are] wives, to [your] own husbands (do submit yourselves *K(O)*) as to the Lord;
23 Nĩgũkorwo mũthuuri nĩwe mũtwe wa mũtumia o ta ũrĩa Kristũ nake arĩ we mũtwe wa kanitha, o guo mwĩrĩ wake, na nowe Mũhonokia waguo.
for (the *k*) husband is head of the wife as also Christ [is the] head of the church, (and *k*) He Himself (is *k*) Savior of the body;
24 Na rĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa kanitha wĩnyiihagĩria Kristũ, ũguo no taguo nao atumia magĩrĩirwo nĩ kwĩnyiihĩria athuuri ao maũndũ-inĩ mothe.
But (even as *N(k)O*) the church is subjected to Christ so also wives (to [their] own *K*) husbands in everything.
25 Inyuĩ athuuri-rĩ, endagai atumia anyu, o ta ũrĩa Kristũ eendire kanitha na akĩĩruta nĩ ũndũ waguo
you who [are] Husbands, do love the wives (of your own *K*) even as also Christ loved the church and Himself gave up for her
26 nĩguo awamũre aũtue mũtheru-rĩ, nĩ kũũthambia aũthambirie na maaĩ na ũndũ wa kiugo,
so that her He may sanctify having cleansed [her] by the washing of water by declaration
27 nĩguo ahote kwĩrehere we mwene kanitha ũrĩ na riiri, ũtarĩ irooro kana handũ hagũtharu, o na kana kaũũgũ kangĩ o gothe, no ũtuĩke kanitha mũtheru na ũtarĩ na ũcuuke.
so that may present (He himself *N(k)O*) to Himself in glory the church not having spot or wrinkle or any of the such things, but that it may be holy and blameless.
28 O ũguo, noguo athuuri magĩrĩirwo nĩ kwenda atumia ao o taarĩ mĩĩrĩ yao ene. Mũndũ ũrĩa wendete mũtumia wake nĩwe mwene wĩyendete.
So ought (also *no*) husbands to love the their own wives as the their own bodies. The [one] loving the his own wife himself loves;
29 Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mũndũ ũthũire mwĩrĩ wake mwene, no nĩkũhe aũheaga irio na akaũmenyerera, o ta ũrĩa Kristũ ekaga kanitha,
no [one] for at any time the his own flesh hated, but he nourishes and he cherishes it even as also [does] (Christ *N(K)O*) the church,
30 Tondũ tũrĩ ciĩga cia mwĩrĩ wake.
for members we are of the body of Him (from the flesh of Him and from the of bones of Him. *K*)
31 “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga mũndũ mũrũme atige ithe na nyina, na anyiitane na mũtumia wake, nao eerĩ magatuĩka mwĩrĩ ũmwe.”
Because of this will leave a man the father (of him *k*) and mother and will be joined to (the wife *NK(o)*) of him, and will be the two into flesh one.
32 Ũyũ nĩ ũhoro wa hitho nene, na nĩ wa bata mũno, na ngiuga ũguo nĩ ũhoro wa Kristũ na kanitha ndĩraria.
mystery this great is, I myself however speak as to Christ and as to the church.
33 No rĩrĩ, o mũndũ nĩendage mũtumia wake o ta ũrĩa eendete we mwene, nake mũtumia nĩaheage mũthuuri wake gĩtĩĩo.
However also you according to individual, each the his own wife so should love as himself, and the wife that she may respect the husband.
