Efesoon 5
1 Kanaaf akkuma ijoollee jaallatamootti fakkeenya Waaqaa duukaa buʼaa;
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 akkuma Kiristoos nu jaallatee nuufis jedhee akka aarsaa fi qalma urgaaʼuutti Waaqaaf of kenne sana isinis jaalalaan deddeebiʼaa.
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor.
3 Garuu waaʼeen halalummaa yookaan xuraaʼummaa gosa kamii iyyuu yookaan waaʼeen doqnummaa gidduu keessanitti hin dhagaʼamin; wanni akkasii qulqulloota Waaqaa biratti hin barbaachisuutii.
But lewdness and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Galateeffachuu malee haasaan qaanii yookaan dubbiin gowwummaa kan faayidaa hin qabne yookaan qoosaan namatti hin tolle isin gidduu hin jiraatin.
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 Halaleen yookaan xuraaʼaan yookaan sassattuun jechuunis kan Waaqa tolfamaa waaqeffatu mootummaa Kiristoosii fi kan Waaqaa keessaa akka dhaala tokko illee hin qabne beekaa.
For this ye know, that no lewd, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Namni tokko iyyuu dubbii faayidaa hin qabneen isin hin gowwoomsin; sababii waan akkanaatiif dheekkamsi Waaqaa warra hin ajajamnetti ni dhufaatii.
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Kanaafuu isin waan isaan hojjetan keessatti hin hirmaatinaa.
Be ye not therefore partakers with them.
8 Isin dur dukkana turtaniitii; amma garuu Gooftaadhaan ifa taataniirtu. Akka ijoollee ifaatti jiraadhaa;
For ye were sometime darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light;
9 iji ifaa gaarummaa, qajeelummaa fi dhugaa hunda keessatti argamaatii;
(For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth; )
10 waan Gooftaa gammachiisu qoradhaa bira gaʼaa.
Proving what is acceptable to the Lord.
11 Hojii dukkanaa kan ija hin qabne saaxilaa malee irratti hin hirmaatinaa.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].
12 Waan isaan icciitiin hojjetan dubbachuun iyyuu qaaniidhaatii.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
13 Wanni ifni sun saaxilu hundinuu garuu ni mulʼata;
But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light.
14 kanaafis, “Ati yaa isa raftu, dammaqi; warra duʼan keessaas kaʼi; Kiristoos siif ibsaatii” jedhameera.
Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light.
15 Egaa isin akkamitti akka jiraattan jabeessaa of eeggadhaa! Akka ogeeyyiitti jiraadhaa malee akka warra ogeeyyii hin taʼiniitti hin jiraatinaa;
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 waan guyyoonni kunneen hamoo taʼaniif baricha furaa.
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Kanaafuu fedhiin Gooftaa maal akka taʼe hubadhaa malee gowwaa hin taʼinaa.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].
18 Daadhii wayiniitiin hin machaaʼinaa; kun jireenya gad dhiisiitti geessaatii. Qooda kanaa Hafuuraan guutamaa;
And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 faarfannaadhaan, weedduu galataatii fi faarfannaa Hafuuraatiin wal jalaa qabaa. Garaa keessan keessatti Gooftaaf faarfadhaatii muuziiqaa dhageessisaa;
Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
20 yeroo hundas waan hundaaf maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin Waaqa Abbaa galateeffadhaa.
Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Sodaa Kiristoosiif qabdaniin waliif ajajamaa.
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Yaa niitota, akkuma Gooftaaf ajajamtanitti dhirsoota keessaniif ajajamaa.
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 Akkuma Kiristoos waldaa kiristaanaatiif mataa taʼe sana dhirsi niitiif mataadhaatii; Kiristoos Fayyisaa waldaa kiristaanaa ti; waldaan kiristaanaa immoo dhagna isaa ti.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body.
24 Egaa akkuma waldaan kiristaanaa Kiristoosiif ajajamtu, niitonnis waan hundaan dhirsoota isaaniitiif haa ajajaman.
Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Yaa dhirsoota, akkuma Kiristoos waldaa kiristaanaa jaallatee isheef of kenne sana isinis niitota keessan jaalladhaa;
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 innis karaa dubbii isaatiin bishaaniin ishee dhiqee qulleessee akka isheen qulqulluu taatuuf,
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 waldaa kiristaanaa ulfina qabeettii, mudaa yookaan suntuura yookaan waan akkanaa tokko illee hin qabnee garuu qulqullooftuu mudaa hin qabne godhee ofitti ishee dhiʼeessuuf waan kana godhe.
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 Akkasuma immoo dhirsoonni niitota isaanii akkuma dhagna ofii isaaniitti jaallachuu qabu. Namni niitii ofii jaallatu of jaallata.
So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.
29 Akkuma Kiristoos waldaa kiristaanaatiif godhu sana namni kam iyyuu foon ofii ni soora; ni kunuunsas malee foon ofii hin jibbu;
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 nu kutaalee dhagna isaatii.
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 “Sababii kanaaf namni abbaa fi haadha isaa dhiisee niitii isaatti ni maxxana; lamaan isaanii iyyuu foon tokko ni taʼu.”
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 Kun icciitii guddaa dha; ani garuu waaʼee Kiristoosii fi waaʼee waldaa kiristaanaa dubbadha.
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Taʼus isin keessaa tokkoon tokkoon namaa akkuma of jaallatutti niitii ofii haa jaallatu; niitiinis dhirsa ofii haa kabajju.
Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself: and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
