iphiṣiṇaḥ 5
1 atō yūyaṁ priyabālakā ivēśvarasyānukāriṇō bhavata,
Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children,
2 khrīṣṭa iva prēmācāraṁ kuruta ca, yataḥ sō'smāsu prēma kr̥tavān asmākaṁ vinimayēna cātmanivēdanaṁ kr̥tvā grāhyasugandhārthakam upahāraṁ baliñcēśvarāca dattavān|
and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 kintu vēśyāgamanaṁ sarvvavidhāśaucakriyā lōbhaścaitēṣām uccāraṇamapi yuṣmākaṁ madhyē na bhavatu, ētadēva pavitralōkānām ucitaṁ|
But fornication, impurity of any kind, and covetousness must not even be mentioned among you, because such things are improper for saints.
4 aparaṁ kutsitālāpaḥ pralāpaḥ ślēṣōktiśca na bhavatu yata ētānyanucitāni kintvīśvarasya dhanyavādō bhavatu|
Nor should there be any obscenity, foolish talk, or coarse joking, which are not fitting, but there should be thanksgiving instead.
5 vēśyāgāmyaśaucācārī dēvapūjaka iva gaṇyō lōbhī caitēṣāṁ kōṣi khrīṣṭasya rājyē'rthata īśvarasya rājyē kamapyadhikāraṁ na prāpsyatīti yuṣmābhiḥ samyak jñāyatāṁ|
For you know that no one who is a fornicator, impure, or covetous (that is, an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 anarthakavākyēna kō'pi yuṣmān na vañcayatu yatastādr̥gācārahētōranājñāgrāhiṣu lōkēṣvīśvarasya kōpō varttatē|
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.
7 tasmād yūyaṁ taiḥ sahabhāginō na bhavata|
Therefore do not be partners with them.
8 pūrvvaṁ yūyam andhakārasvarūpā ādhvaṁ kintvidānīṁ prabhunā dīptisvarūpā bhavatha tasmād dīptēḥ santānā iva samācarata|
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
9 dīptē ryat phalaṁ tat sarvvavidhahitaiṣitāyāṁ dharmmē satyālāpē ca prakāśatē|
(for the fruit of the Spirit is found in all goodness, righteousness, and truth).
10 prabhavē yad rōcatē tat parīkṣadhvaṁ|
Carefully determine what is pleasing to the Lord.
11 yūyaṁ timirasya viphalakarmmaṇām aṁśinō na bhūtvā tēṣāṁ dōṣitvaṁ prakāśayata|
Do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but expose them instead.
12 yatastē lōkā rahami yad yad ācaranti taduccāraṇam api lajjājanakaṁ|
For it is shameful even to mention what such people do in secret.
13 yatō dīptyā yad yat prakāśyatē tat tayā cakāsyatē yacca cakāsti tad dīptisvarūpaṁ bhavati|
But everything exposed by the light becomes illuminated, and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
14 ētatkāraṇād uktam āstē, "hē nidrita prabudhyasva mr̥tēbhyaścōtthitiṁ kuru| tatkr̥tē sūryyavat khrīṣṭaḥ svayaṁ tvāṁ dyōtayiṣyati|"
Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon yoʋ.”
15 ataḥ sāvadhānā bhavata, ajñānā iva mācarata kintu jñānina iva satarkam ācarata|
See then that you walk carefully, not as unwise people but as wise,
16 samayaṁ bahumūlyaṁ gaṇayadhvaṁ yataḥ kālā abhadrāḥ|
making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
17 tasmād yūyam ajñānā na bhavata kintu prabhōrabhimataṁ kiṁ tadavagatā bhavata|
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 sarvvanāśajanakēna surāpānēna mattā mā bhavata kintvātmanā pūryyadhvaṁ|
Do not be drunk with wine, which leads to debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 aparaṁ gītai rgānaiḥ pāramārthikakīrttanaiśca parasparam ālapantō manasā sārddhaṁ prabhum uddiśya gāyata vādayata ca|
speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord,
20 sarvvadā sarvvaviṣayē'smatprabhō yīśōḥ khrīṣṭasya nāmnā tātam īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadata|
always giving thanks for everything to our God and Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 yūyam īśvarād bhītāḥ santa anyē'parēṣāṁ vaśībhūtā bhavata|
and submitting to one another in the fear of Christ.
22 hē yōṣitaḥ, yūyaṁ yathā prabhōstathā svasvasvāminō vaśaṅgatā bhavata|
Wives, submit to your husbands, as to the Lord.
23 yataḥ khrīṣṭō yadvat samitē rmūrddhā śarīrasya trātā ca bhavati tadvat svāmī yōṣitō mūrddhā|
For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head and Savior of the church, which is his body.
24 ataḥ samiti ryadvat khrīṣṭasya vaśībhūtā tadvad yōṣidbhirapi svasvasvāminō vaśatā svīkarttavyā|
Just as the church submits to Christ, so wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 aparañca hē puruṣāḥ, yūyaṁ khrīṣṭa iva svasvayōṣitsu prīyadhvaṁ|
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 sa khrīṣṭō'pi samitau prītavān tasyāḥ kr̥tē ca svaprāṇān tyaktavān yataḥ sa vākyē jalamajjanēna tāṁ pariṣkr̥tya pāvayitum
to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word,
27 aparaṁ tilakavalyādivihīnāṁ pavitrāṁ niṣkalaṅkāñca tāṁ samitiṁ tējasvinīṁ kr̥tvā svahastē samarpayituñcābhilaṣitavān|
so that he might present her to himself as a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and unblemished.
28 tasmāt svatanuvat svayōṣiti prēmakaraṇaṁ puruṣasyōcitaṁ, yēna svayōṣiti prēma kriyatē tēnātmaprēma kriyatē|
In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 kō'pi kadāpi na svakīyāṁ tanum r̥tīyitavān kintu sarvvē tāṁ vibhrati puṣṇanti ca| khrīṣṭō'pi samitiṁ prati tadēva karōti,
For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but he nourishes and cares for it, just as the Lord does for the church,
30 yatō vayaṁ tasya śarīrasyāṅgāni māṁsāsthīni ca bhavāmaḥ|
because we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.
31 ētadarthaṁ mānavaḥ svamātāpitarō parityajya svabhāryyāyām āsaṁkṣyati tau dvau janāvēkāṅgau bhaviṣyataḥ|
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
32 ētannigūḍhavākyaṁ gurutaraṁ mayā ca khrīṣṭasamitī adhi tad ucyatē|
This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church.
33 ataēva yuṣmākam ēkaikō jana ātmavat svayōṣiti prīyatāṁ bhāryyāpi svāminaṁ samādarttuṁ yatatāṁ|
Nevertheless, each man among you must love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
