에베소서 5
1 그러므로 사랑을 입은 자녀같이 너희는 하나님을 본받는 자가 되고
(Imitate/Behave like) God, because he loves you who are [as though you were] [SIM] his children.
2 그리스도께서 너희를 사랑하신 것같이 너희도 사랑 가운데서 행하라 그는 우리를 위하여 자신을 버리사 향기로운 제물과 생축으로 하나님께 드리셨느니라
Do everything in a way that shows that you love [people], just like Christ loved us and willingly died for us. He offered himself [to God as a sacrifice] that was very pleasing to God, [just like Jewish priests offered] sweet-smelling [animal] sacrifices to God [MET].
3 음행과 온갖 더러운 것과 탐욕은 너희 중에서 그 이름이라도 부르지 말라 이는 성도의 마땅한 바니라
Do not commit any kind of immoral act [DOU], and do not desire more things than you need. Do not [act in such a way that others could] even (spread rumors/talk) about your acting in such ways, because it is not appropriate/fitting for God’s people to do such things.
4 누추함과 어리석은 말이나 희롱의 말이 마땅치 아니하니 돌이켜 감사하는 말을 하라
Do not use obscene/shameful language when you talk to people. Do not talk foolishly. Do not use vulgar/indecent language, because it is not appropriate/fitting that God’s people should talk like that. Instead, tell people how much you thank [God for all he does for you].
5 너희도 이것을 정녕히 알거니와 음행하는 자나 더러운 자나 탐하는 자 곧 우상 숭배자는 다 그리스도와 하나님 나라에서 기업을 얻지 못하리니
You can be sure of this: No person who is sexually immoral or who acts indecently/shamefully will be among those people whom God rules over [MET] [in heaven]. Neither will those who desire more things than they need. Such people worship their possessions [instead of worshipping God].
6 누구든지 헛된 말로 너희를 속이지 못하게 하라 이를 인하여 하나님의 진노가 불순종의 아들들에게 임하나니
Do not let anyone deceive you by suggesting that [God will really] not [punish people who commit such sins], because God certainly will punish [MTY] those who habitually disobey him [by doing such things].
7 그러므로 저희와 함께 참예하는 자 되지 말라
So, do not commit the same kinds of deeds that such people do,
8 너희가 전에는 어두움이더니 이제는 주 안에서 빛이라 빛의 자녀들처럼 행하라
because formerly you [did not know God’s truth] [MET], [as those who] are in darkness [do not know what is around them]. But now [it is as though] you are in the light [MET] [because you know God’s truth] because of your relationship with the Lord [Jesus]. So do those things that those who know God’s truth [MET] should do.
9 빛의 열매는 모든 착함과, 의로움과, 진실함에 있느니라
Keep in mind that [as] light [MET] causes [good things to grow], those who know God’s truth should do those things that are good, righteous, and honest.
10 주께 기쁘시게 할 것이 무엇인가 시험하여 보라
And as [you do that], try (to find out/to discover) what pleases the Lord.
11 너희는 열매 없는 어두움의 일에 참예하지 말고 도리어 책망하라
Do not do the worthless deeds that the people (who are in [spiritual] darkness/who do not know God’s truth) [MET] do. Instead, let others know that those people’s deeds are worthless.
12 저희의 은밀히 행하는 것들은 말하기도 부끄러움이라
It is shameful for God’s people to even talk [among themselves about] those evil deeds that evil people do secretly and habitually.
13 그러나 책망을 받는 모든 것이 빛으로 나타나나니 나타나지는 것마다 빛이니라
But when [God’s people rebuke those evil people about their deeds, it will be clear/evident how evil their deeds really are, just like] everything exposed to the light becomes visible {as light [MET] reveals everything [that we cannot see in the darkness]}.
14 그러므로 이르시기를 잠 자는 자여! 깨어서 죽은 자들 가운데서 일어나라 그리스도께서 네게 비취시리라 하셨느니라
[Just like something on which a light shines reflects that light] [MET], [whoever has learned God’s truth reveals that truth to others]. That is why [we believers] say this: You who are not aware of your sins, become aware of them [MET]! It is as though you are sound asleep, so wake up! Be like dead people who are becoming alive again! Christ will cause you to know God’s truth, just like a light [MET] that shines causes people to know what is in the darkness.
15 그런즉 너희가 어떻게 행할 것을 자세히 주의하여 지혜 없는 자같이 말고 오직 지혜 있는 자같이 하여
So be very careful how you behave. Do not behave as foolish people do. Instead, behave as wise people do.
16 세월을 아끼라! 때가 악하니라!
Use your time carefully, because these days [MTY] [people do] extremely evil [deeds].
17 그러므로 어리석은 자가 되지 말고 오직 주의 뜻이 무엇인가 이해하라
So do not be foolish. Instead, understand what the Lord [Jesus] wants you to do, [and do it]!
18 술 취하지 말라 이는 방탕한 것이니 오직 성령의 충만을 받으라!
Do not become drunk by drinking alcoholic drinks, since people are unable to control their behavior when they are drunk. Instead, let [God’s] Spirit control your [behavior] at all times [MTY].
19 시와 찬미와 신령한 노래들로 서로 화답하며 너희의 마음으로 주께 노래하며 찬송하며
Sing to each other (Psalms/songs [with words from the] Scriptures), sing [other] songs [that the congregation knows], and songs [that God’s] Spirit [gives you]. Sing these Psalms and other songs sincerely to [praise] the Lord [Jesus].
20 범사에 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 이름으로 항상 아버지 하나님께 감사하며
At all times thank God, who is our [heavenly] Father, for everything, especially for what the Lord Jesus Christ [MTY] [has done for you].
21 그리스도를 경외함으로 피차 복종하라
[Humbly] submit yourselves to each other because you reverence Christ, [who is our example].
22 아내들이여! 자기 남편에게 복종하기를 주께 하듯 하라
Because husbands have authority over [MET] their wives, just as all of us believers form one group [under the authority of] Christ, you women should submit yourselves to [the authority of your] husbands just as you submit yourselves to the Lord [Jesus]. He is the one who saves all his people [from the guilt of their sins].
23 이는 남편이 아내의 머리 됨이 그리스도께서 교회의 머리 됨과 같음이니 그가 친히 몸의 구주시니라
24 그러나 교회가 그리스도에게 하듯 아내들도 범사에 그 남편에게 복종할지니라
Just like all believers submit themselves to [the authority of] Christ, the women must submit themselves completely to the [authority of] their husbands.
25 남편들아! 아내 사랑하기를 그리스도께서 교회를 사랑하시고 위하여 자신을 주심같이 하라
Each of you husbands, love your wife as Christ loved all of [us who would become] believers, with the result that he willingly died for our sake,
26 이는 곧 물로 씻어 말씀으로 깨끗하게 하사 거룩하게 하시고
in order that he might (set us apart for himself/cause us to belong to him). That is, by [revealing his] message [to us], he wanted to [remove the guilt of our sin, just like people remove dirt from something] by washing it [MET].
27 자기 앞에 영광스러운 교회로 세우사 티나 주름잡힌 것이나 이런 것들이 없이 거룩하고 흠이 없게 하려 하심이니라
[Christ did that] in order that he might cause all of us believers to be a glorious group of people that belong to him, people that do not have any moral flaws/imperfections, but instead might be completely pure [DOU] when he gathers us (to his presence/to himself).
28 이와 같이 남편들도 자기 아내 사랑하기를 제 몸같이 할지니 자기 아내를 사랑하는 자는 자기를 사랑하는 것이라
In the same way, each man should love his wife as he loves his own body. Men who love their wives, [it is as though] they love themselves.
29 누구든지 언제든지 제 육체를 미워하지 않고 오직 양육하여 보호하기를 그리스도께서 교회를 보양(保養)함과 같이 하나니
This is shown by the fact that no one ever hated his own body. Instead, he feeds his own body and cares for it, just like Christ also cares for all us believers. We have become one group of believers that belongs to him [MET].
30 우리는 그 몸의 지체임이니라
31 이러므로 사람이 부모를 떠나 그 아내와 합하여 그 둘이 한 육체가 될지니
[What someone has written in the Scriptures about people who marry is this], [When] a man and [a] woman [marry], they should ([permanently] leave/no longer live with) their fathers and mothers. They should be joined [as husband and] wife, and the two of them shall become [as though they were] one [MET] person.
32 이 비밀이 크도다! 내가 그리스도와 교회에 대하여 말하노라
It is very difficult to understand the meaning of these things that God has now revealed to me, but [I am telling you that] those words [also] refer to [the relationship between] Christ and all those who belong to him.
33 그러나 너희도 각각 자기의 아내 사랑하기를 자기같이 하고 아내도 그 남편을 경외하라
However, as for you(pl), each man must love his wife just as he loves himself, and each woman must respect her husband.
