Afisawa. 5
1 Ane ani cukuno ni anu tarsa Asere, gusi uhem mr, sa mazika shi a hana ameme.
Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
2 Cukuno ni, unu hem gusi unu kaba uru me sa ma hem in haru, mano ma nya nice ni meme imum u ira wanu unya uronta wa Asere.
and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell.
3 Kati i suzo ace shi inki ido wuzi ni isi nan aye a shi me ine ini iriri me, a hira ande be sa wa hana piit nan na Asere.
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Nyani udira uni ce, tize ti hura, nan biranzo bi zatu uri, im bari i cukuno ayimo riba irom.
nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
5 Katuma ka madini, ticuku ti madini, unu uwuza uma kiri, mazo me in na hira a nyimo akura unu kaba nan Asere.
For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, which is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
6 Kati uye ma rangi shi in tize ti hura, barki ani mani ya wuna iriba iburu i Ugomo Asere idi tu, ani cw na hana be sa daki wa kaba me.
Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Kati i haki nan we.
Be not ye therefore partakers with them;
8 Ya raa mariu, ana me iraa a masar ma Asere, barki ani me haka ni gusi ahana ama sa.
For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
9 Uyo u riri ume sa une uni uhuma me, ulau, wa ka dundure.
(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
10 Ubezi imum besa ine ini iriri ya Asere.
proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
11 Kati ipasa ace ashi me, nan debesa wazin unu to umare, pogi zonwe.
and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
12 Imim be sa wa wuza ini ku gu agi abuki.
for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.
13 Vat imum sa iraa ama saa.
But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
14 Barki masaa me mazi vat, sa agu “hira”, hu sa uzin im moro, ukuri uhiri a nyimo i cau, unu bura madi pokkiwe ma saa.
Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.
15 Barki ani me tarsani seke in ti cuku tiwe me, azo gusi unu dira urusa banga.
Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
16 Rusa uganiya barki tiye me ti i be izen-zeng ini.
redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Kti u cukuno shagalak, rusa imum be sa Asere ma nyara ini.
Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 Kati usi ubere, una uhurne me uni, unu guna uwu anime imbari wa cukuno in bibe biriri.
And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Booni tize ace ce a shime ina gburan uzabura, ini re ini nonzo ini re ibibe, izin ini re izabura a hira Ugomo Asere, ini nonzo a mu ruba mu shi me.
speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
20 I dingi wuza Ugomo Asere a co aru ankoi anyimo vat imum besa i wuza ini.
giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
21 Witoni ace ashi me anyimo a biyau bi Yesu unu kaba.
subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
22 Shiane witoni ace ashi ahira anu roma ushi me gusi uwuza be sa a wuza Ugomo Asere.
Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 Uroma me mani ni cenu une umeme, gusi Yesu sa mazi nan nu utarsa ume me, ine ini nipum ni me me, me nice ni meme, memani unu bura uni pum me.
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body.
24 Gusi anabu umu tarsa utize ta Asere sa wa wito ace awe me ahira unu kaba uru, animani shi ane idi witi ace ashi me a hira anu uruma ushi me.
But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything.
25 Shi anu uroma in tani anet a shime memerum gu unu kaba uru me sa ma nya nuce ni meme barka unu tarsa utize timeme.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
26 Ma suso tini lau a hira Asere ma kuri ma kpico duru in mei nan tize timeme.
that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
27 Mu wu ani barki ma witi nice ni meme, ahira anu tarsa tize timeme ti cukuno memerun kang, sarki ire imum izenzen i xukuno lau sarki madini.
that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church], not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 Ani mani anyara anu ruma wa inta une a wamme, sarki madini gusi apum awamme ani vat dwbe sa ma inta une nice ni me nini ma inta.
Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:
29 Barki, an debe sa wamu nyaruma ume nice ni meme ca bati ma inta nini memerum, gusi unu bara uru me sama inta anu tarsa umeme.
for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;
30 Haru agememtihi hira tumeme tini.
because we are members of his body.
31 Gusi unyetike sa awuzi, anu guna caa unu ma ceki a ino amwme nan kaco ameme, ma tafina une umeme we ware wa cukuno binama bi inde.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh.
32 Tize ti ginome tini hunzi tini, imboo abanga unu kaba uru mani nan anu tarsa umeme.
This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.
33 Vat tize tiginome takem shi vat ushi inta ni ane ashi memerum shu ane tarsani anu ruma ushi me ini ruba indw.
Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see] that she fear her husband.
