Epesian 5

1 Nonu Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv ridula, ninyigv aingbv bv rirungdubv gwngtoka.

Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,

2 Nonugv turnam lo pakmi sidula saktung sitoka, vbv ngonua kristo gv paknam aingchingbv okv vbv nampu nvgo ngonu lvgabv jinam aingchingbv jitola okv vbv Pwknvyarnvnyi mvngpu dubv erin lwksula jinam aingbv bv ritolaka.

and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.

3 Nonu Pwknvyarnv gv nyi bv ridula, alvmanv yomurchomur minsu dubv vmalo gompwng dubv vmalo alvmabv kaadubv rinam nonugv aralo vbv rirung yoka.

But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;

4 So gaam sum kasingkanyak nvbv okv nyiposoyobv okv tvvlwkkaalwk madubv japyoka. Vbvsvnga, vbv mintoka nam vdwgo umbonyikv mvngdunv vla hartv gvyala ritoka.

and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.

5 Nonu chirung dunvpv yvvdw yomurchomurnv okv darwkmanv okv kabiotarinv (vv murti kumnam aingbv ridunv) vdwv Pwknvyarnv gv okv Kristo gv karv lo ogu aba baagoka yvvka paamare.

For this ye are [well] informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

6 Nonu gvlo nyiposoyo gaambv rinv vkvnv yvvnyika kuplwk koyoka; ogulvgavbolo vkvnv oguogu mvvgvrugvla riku lo oogv ninyigv gaam am tvvma nvgv aolo Pwknvyarnv gv haachi vv aare.

Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

7 Vkvlvgabv vbvrinv nyi vdwgv lvkobv ogubvrijeka lvkingobv riyoka.

Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them;

8 Nonuno awv kanv lo rinvgobv rito, vbvrijvka nonu Ahtu gv nyi gobv rila riduku, nonu loung lo ridukunv. Vkvlvgabv nonu rinamdaknam am oogv loung lo rinv nyi vrung vdubv ritokuka.

for ye were once darkness, but now light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light,

9 Holvgavbolo loung ngv nvgwng mvnwng gv alvnv, darwkchonjornv okv jvjv nga nyitv rungbv nyingkamla laalwk dunv.

(for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth, )

10 Ahtunyi mvngpu modubv ogu risvdw um nonu chindu bv gwngtoka.

proving what is agreeable to the Lord;

11 Ho nyi vdwgv oguogu arv kaamanv rinam um lvkobv rimingdakming gvyoka, ho gv oguogu vv kanvparam lokv la, vbvmayabv, bunua loung lo laalin yatoka. (

and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove [them],

12 Bunugv risi la ara lokv rinam kudungkua lvkwng lo milin namv maatar alvbv hinyinghiru namv.)

for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.

13 Okv vdwlo anyung kaamanv mvnwng nga lounglo laalin rikudw, vbvrikubolo bunugv jvjvnv ridungsingdung am rvbwngching bv kaapa lareku;

But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.

14 Holvgabv ogumvnwng nga rvbwngching bv kaatam kubolo loung bv riduku. Vkvlvgabv si vbv minto “Godung tvkuka, yupnv vdwv, okv sinam lokv turkur tvkuka. Okv Kristo nonua loung am ungkare.”

Wherefore he says, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.

15 Vkvlvgabv nonu oguaingbv doosvdaksv vdw hinsukasu tvvlaka. Chimapamunv nyi aingbv doyodakyoka, vbvritola chinvpanv aingbv dooladakla ka.

See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,

16 Nonu alvnv dw paanam mvnwng nga um alvnvgobv rinv nvto laka ogulvgavbolo, soogv alu si alvmanv bv riduku.

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Vbvrikunamv, pvcha nvbv riyoka, vbvritola Pwknvyarnv ogugo nam ridubv mvngdudw vbvching mala rijidubv gwngto laka.

For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord.

18 Opo tvngyoka, oogv nam simungoomu mvngchik jinvnga; vbvmayabv, Pwknvyarnv gv darwknv dow am pwlwk kootolaka.

And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

19 Ajin anyingnga hartvnam gaam lokv, mirimimpak lokv, minji mingkiuk nam lokv okv darwknv mirimimpak lo gaana gaala; nonugv haapok lokv hartv la Ahtunyi kumnam gaam lokv okv kumnam mirimimpak lokv gaagv laka.

speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;

20 Ngonu Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv amin lokv, Pwknvyarnv Abunyi ogumvnwng lo umbonyikv vbvlaka.

giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

21 Kristonyi mvngdvnam lvgabv nonyi anyiv tulwk minsulaka.

submitting yourselves to one another in [the] fear of Christ.

22 Nywng vdwv, atubogv nyilua Ahtunyi tulwk sinam aingbv tulwk sutoka.

Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord,

23 Vkvlvgavbolo Kristo gv gvrja gv aolo rigv ladubv atubv tujupkunam aingbv nyilo vdwvka nywng gv ao lo rigv ladubv atubv tujupkunamv; okv Kristo ninyi atubongv gvrja gv ringnvbaanv ngv, ninyigv awv.

for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. He [is] Saviour of the body.

24 Holvgabv nywng ngv atubogv ogumvnwng nga bunugv nyilu gv arwng lo tulwk sila ritoka oguaingbv gvrja ngv Kristo gv arwng lo tulwk sila ridudw.

But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.

25 Nyilu vdwv, nonugv nywng vdwa alvbv paktoka oguaingbv Kristo gvrja nga pakdudw okv ninyigv turnam am jilwk tokudw.

Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,

26 Hv sum isi lokv darwk dubv harkak choto kula hokoching bv ninyigv gaam lokv Pwknvyarnv gvlo gvrja nga tulwk jidubv vla ritoku,

in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word,

27 Hv atubongv gvrja ngam svbv rinamv kaapu—darwk okv gungnying kaama, ungnvtarv kaama okv tikumtilum nam kaama okv oguguka kaavk svgo kaama tvla tulwk sidubv vla rito.

that he might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.

28 Nyi vdwv atugv adwnayak am atubongv oguaingbv paksu dudw vbvching atugv nywng am paksu rungtoka. Yvvnyiv atugv nywng am pakdudw vv atubonga ka paksudu. (

So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.

29 Yvvka ngonu atubogv adwnayak am kaanwng mabv rimadu. Vbvmayabv, Kristo gv gvrja ngam rinam aingchingbv bunua ngonu jichahocha sula okv bunua ringchamriai sula riyadu;

For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:

30 holvgavbolo ngonu ninyigv adwn lo atung gunvbv ridunv.)

for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.]

31 Darwknv kitap lo vbv mindu, “Vkvlvgabv si mindu nyilo ngv ninyigv abu okv anv nga kayu tvkula okv ninyigv nywng gv lvkobv rila, anyiv akin gobv ridukunv.”

Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

32 Soogv Darwknv Kitap lo ungrwng rungnv chinchi nyomanam jvjv nga kaatam jilindu, vbvritola sum ngo chindu si Kristo okv gvrja lvgabv mindunv.

This mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.

33 Vbvritola si nonuaka mindunv: nyilu dvdv ngv atugv aw am paksu aingbv atugv nywng aka pakto laka, okv nywng vdwvka ninyigv nyilu nga mvngdv tvlaka.

But ye also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife [I speak] that she may fear the husband.
