اِپھِشِنَح 5

1 اَتو یُویَں پْرِیَبالَکا اِویشْوَرَسْیانُکارِنو بھَوَتَ،

Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children,

2 کھْرِیشْٹَ اِوَ پْریماچارَں کُرُتَ چَ، یَتَح سوسْماسُ پْریمَ کرِتَوانْ اَسْماکَں وِنِمَیینَ چاتْمَنِویدَنَں کرِتْوا گْراہْیَسُگَنْدھارْتھَکَمْ اُپَہارَں بَلِنْچیشْوَراچَ دَتَّوانْ۔

and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

3 کِنْتُ ویشْیاگَمَنَں سَرْوَّوِدھاشَوچَکْرِیا لوبھَشْچَیتیشامْ اُچّارَنَمَپِ یُشْماکَں مَدھْیے نَ بھَوَتُ، ایتَدیوَ پَوِتْرَلوکانامْ اُچِتَں۔

But fornication, impurity of any kind, and covetousness must not even be mentioned among you, because such things are improper for saints.

4 اَپَرَں کُتْسِتالاپَح پْرَلاپَح شْلیشوکْتِشْچَ نَ بھَوَتُ یَتَ ایتانْیَنُچِتانِ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادو بھَوَتُ۔

Nor should there be any obscenity, foolish talk, or coarse joking, which are not fitting, but there should be thanksgiving instead.

5 ویشْیاگامْیَشَوچاچارِی دیوَپُوجَکَ اِوَ گَنْیو لوبھِی چَیتیشاں کوشِ کھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ راجْیےرْتھَتَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیے کَمَپْیَدھِکارَں نَ پْراپْسْیَتِیتِ یُشْمابھِح سَمْیَکْ جْنایَتاں۔

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 اَنَرْتھَکَواکْیینَ کوپِ یُشْمانْ نَ وَنْچَیَتُ یَتَسْتادرِگاچارَہیتورَناجْناگْراہِشُ لوکیشْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ کوپو وَرْتَّتے۔

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 تَسْمادْ یُویَں تَیح سَہَبھاگِنو نَ بھَوَتَ۔

Therefore do not be partners with them.

8 پُورْوَّں یُویَمْ اَنْدھَکارَسْوَرُوپا آدھْوَں کِنْتْوِدانِیں پْرَبھُنا دِیپْتِسْوَرُوپا بھَوَتھَ تَسْمادْ دِیپْتیح سَنْتانا اِوَ سَماچَرَتَ۔

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

9 دِیپْتے رْیَتْ پھَلَں تَتْ سَرْوَّوِدھَہِتَیشِتایاں دھَرْمّے سَتْیالاپے چَ پْرَکاشَتے۔

(for the fruit of the Spirit is found in all goodness, righteousness, and truth).

10 پْرَبھَوے یَدْ روچَتے تَتْ پَرِیکْشَدھْوَں۔

Carefully determine what is pleasing to the Lord.

11 یُویَں تِمِرَسْیَ وِپھَلَکَرْمَّنامْ اَںشِنو نَ بھُوتْوا تیشاں دوشِتْوَں پْرَکاشَیَتَ۔

Do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but expose them instead.

12 یَتَسْتے لوکا رَہَمِ یَدْ یَدْ آچَرَنْتِ تَدُچّارَنَمْ اَپِ لَجّاجَنَکَں۔

For it is shameful even to mention what such people do in secret.

13 یَتو دِیپْتْیا یَدْ یَتْ پْرَکاشْیَتے تَتْ تَیا چَکاسْیَتے یَچَّ چَکاسْتِ تَدْ دِیپْتِسْوَرُوپَں بھَوَتِ۔

But everything exposed by the light becomes illuminated, and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

14 ایتَتْکارَنادْ اُکْتَمْ آسْتے، "ہے نِدْرِتَ پْرَبُدھْیَسْوَ مرِتیبھْیَشْچوتّھِتِں کُرُ۔ تَتْکرِتے سُورْیَّوَتْ کھْرِیشْٹَح سْوَیَں تْواں دْیوتَیِشْیَتِ۔ "

Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon yoʋ.”

15 اَتَح ساوَدھانا بھَوَتَ، اَجْنانا اِوَ ماچَرَتَ کِنْتُ جْنانِنَ اِوَ سَتَرْکَمْ آچَرَتَ۔

See then that you walk carefully, not as unwise people but as wise,

16 سَمَیَں بَہُمُولْیَں گَنَیَدھْوَں یَتَح کالا اَبھَدْراح۔

making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

17 تَسْمادْ یُویَمْ اَجْنانا نَ بھَوَتَ کِنْتُ پْرَبھورَبھِمَتَں کِں تَدَوَگَتا بھَوَتَ۔

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

18 سَرْوَّناشَجَنَکینَ سُراپانینَ مَتّا ما بھَوَتَ کِنْتْواتْمَنا پُورْیَّدھْوَں۔

Do not be drunk with wine, which leads to debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,

19 اَپَرَں گِیتَے رْگانَیح پارَمارْتھِکَکِیرْتَّنَیشْچَ پَرَسْپَرَمْ آلَپَنْتو مَنَسا سارْدّھَں پْرَبھُمْ اُدِّشْیَ گایَتَ وادَیَتَ چَ۔

speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord,

20 سَرْوَّدا سَرْوَّوِشَیےسْمَتْپْرَبھو یِیشوح کھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ نامْنا تاتَمْ اِیشْوَرَں دھَنْیَں وَدَتَ۔

always giving thanks for everything to our God and Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

21 یُویَمْ اِیشْوَرادْ بھِیتاح سَنْتَ اَنْیےپَریشاں وَشِیبھُوتا بھَوَتَ۔

and submitting to one another in the fear of Christ.

22 ہے یوشِتَح، یُویَں یَتھا پْرَبھوسْتَتھا سْوَسْوَسْوامِنو وَشَنْگَتا بھَوَتَ۔

Wives, submit to your husbands, as to the Lord.

23 یَتَح کھْرِیشْٹو یَدْوَتْ سَمِتے رْمُورْدّھا شَرِیرَسْیَ تْراتا چَ بھَوَتِ تَدْوَتْ سْوامِی یوشِتو مُورْدّھا۔

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 اَتَح سَمِتِ رْیَدْوَتْ کھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ وَشِیبھُوتا تَدْوَدْ یوشِدْبھِرَپِ سْوَسْوَسْوامِنو وَشَتا سْوِیکَرْتَّوْیا۔

Just as the church submits to Christ, so wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 اَپَرَنْچَ ہے پُرُشاح، یُویَں کھْرِیشْٹَ اِوَ سْوَسْوَیوشِتْسُ پْرِییَدھْوَں۔

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

26 سَ کھْرِیشْٹوپِ سَمِتَو پْرِیتَوانْ تَسْیاح کرِتے چَ سْوَپْرانانْ تْیَکْتَوانْ یَتَح سَ واکْیے جَلَمَجَّنینَ تاں پَرِشْکرِتْیَ پاوَیِتُمْ

to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word,

27 اَپَرَں تِلَکَوَلْیادِوِہِیناں پَوِتْراں نِشْکَلَنْکانْچَ تاں سَمِتِں تیجَسْوِنِیں کرِتْوا سْوَہَسْتے سَمَرْپَیِتُنْچابھِلَشِتَوانْ۔

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 تَسْماتْ سْوَتَنُوَتْ سْوَیوشِتِ پْریمَکَرَنَں پُرُشَسْیوچِتَں، یینَ سْوَیوشِتِ پْریمَ کْرِیَتے تیناتْمَپْریمَ کْرِیَتے۔

In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

29 کوپِ کَداپِ نَ سْوَکِییاں تَنُمْ رِتِییِتَوانْ کِنْتُ سَرْوّے تاں وِبھْرَتِ پُشْنَنْتِ چَ۔ کھْرِیشْٹوپِ سَمِتِں پْرَتِ تَدیوَ کَروتِ،

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 یَتو وَیَں تَسْیَ شَرِیرَسْیانْگانِ ماںساسْتھِینِ چَ بھَوامَح۔

because we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.

31 ایتَدَرْتھَں مانَوَح سْوَماتاپِتَرو پَرِتْیَجْیَ سْوَبھارْیّایامْ آسَںکْشْیَتِ تَو دْوَو جَناویکانْگَو بھَوِشْیَتَح۔

“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 ایتَنِّگُوڈھَواکْیَں گُرُتَرَں مَیا چَ کھْرِیشْٹَسَمِتِی اَدھِ تَدْ اُچْیَتے۔

This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church.

33 اَتَایوَ یُشْماکَمْ ایکَیکو جَنَ آتْمَوَتْ سْوَیوشِتِ پْرِییَتاں بھارْیّاپِ سْوامِنَں سَمادَرْتُّں یَتَتاں۔

Nevertheless, each man among you must love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
