Ephesios 5
1 Estote ergo imitatores Dei, sicut filii carissimi,
Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
2 et ambulate in dilectione, sicut et Christus dilexit nos, et tradidit semetipsum pro nobis, oblationem et hostiam Deo in odorem suavitatis.
Walk in love, even as Messiah also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
3 Fornicatio autem, et omnis immunditia, aut avaritia, nec nominetur in vobis, sicut decet sanctos:
But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes holy ones;
4 aut turpitudo, aut stultiloquium, aut scurrilitas, quæ ad rem non pertinet: sed magis gratiarum actio.
nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.
5 Hoc enim scitote intelligentes: quod omnis fornicator, aut immundus, aut avarus, quod est idolorum servitus, non habet hæreditatem in regno Christi et Dei.
Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man (who is an idolater), has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Messiah and God.
6 Nemo vos seducat inanibus verbis: propter hæc enim venit ira Dei in filios diffidentiæ.
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
7 Nolite ergo effici participes eorum.
Therefore don’t be partakers with them.
8 Eratis enim aliquando tenebræ: nunc autem lux in Domino. Ut filii lucis ambulate:
For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
9 fructus enim lucis est in omni bonitate, et justitia, et veritate:
for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
10 probantes quid sit beneplacitum Deo:
proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
11 et nolite communicare operibus infructuosis tenebrarum, magis autem redarguite.
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
12 Quæ enim in occulto fiunt ab ipsis, turpe est et dicere.
For it is a shame even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.
13 Omnia autem, quæ arguuntur, a lumine manifestantur: omne enim, quod manifestatur, lumen est.
But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
14 Propter quod dicit: Surge qui dormis, et exsurge a mortuis, et illuminabit te Christus.
Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Messiah will shine on you.”
15 Videte itaque, fratres, quomodo caute ambuletis: non quasi insipientes,
Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
16 sed ut sapientes: redimentes tempus, quoniam dies mali sunt.
redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Propterea nolite fieri imprudentes, sed intelligentes quæ sit voluntas Dei.
Therefore, don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 Et nolite inebriari vino, in quo est luxuria, sed implemini Spiritu Sancto,
Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 loquentes vobismetipsis in psalmis, et hymnis, et canticis spiritualibus, cantantes et psallentes in cordibus vestris Domino,
speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 gratias agentes semper pro omnibus in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Deo et Patri,
giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to God, even the Father;
21 subjecti invicem in timore Christi.
subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Messiah.
22 Mulieres viris suis subditæ sint, sicut Domino:
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 quoniam vir caput est mulieris, sicut Christus caput est Ecclesiæ: ipse, salvator corporis ejus.
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Messiah also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
24 Sed sicut Ecclesia subjecta est Christo, ita et mulieres viris suis in omnibus.
But as the assembly is subject to Messiah, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Viri, diligite uxores vestras, sicut et Christus dilexit Ecclesiam, et seipsum tradidit pro ea,
Husbands, love your wives, even as Messiah also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her,
26 ut illam sanctificaret, mundans lavacro aquæ in verbo vitæ,
that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
27 ut exhiberet ipse sibi gloriosam Ecclesiam, non habentem maculam, aut rugam, aut aliquid hujusmodi, sed ut sit sancta et immaculata.
that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without defect.
28 Ita et viri debent diligere uxores suas ut corpora sua. Qui suam uxorem diligit, seipsum diligit.
Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
29 Nemo enim umquam carnem suam odio habuit: sed nutrit et fovet eam, sicut et Christus Ecclesiam:
For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly,
30 quia membra sumus corporis ejus, de carne ejus et de ossibus ejus.
because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
31 Propter hoc relinquet homo patrem et matrem suam, et adhærebit uxori suæ, et erunt duo in carne una.
“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh.”
32 Sacramentum hoc magnum est, ego autem dico in Christo et in Ecclesia.
This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Messiah and the assembly.
33 Verumtamen et vos singuli, unusquisque uxorem suam sicut seipsum diligat: uxor autem timeat virum suum.
Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
