Ephesians 5
1 Nítorí náà, ẹ máa ṣe àfarawé Ọlọ́run bí àwọn olùfẹ́ ọmọ,
Therefore be ye imitators of God, as beloved children;
2 ẹ sì máa rìn ní ìfẹ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Kristi pẹ̀lú ti fẹ́ wa, tí ó sì fi ara rẹ̀ fún wa ní ọrẹ àti ẹbọ fún Ọlọ́run fún òórùn dídùn.
and walk about in divine love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet savor.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n àgbèrè àti gbogbo ìwà èérí, tàbí ojúkòkòrò, kí a má tilẹ̀ dárúkọ rẹ̀ láàrín yín mọ́, bí ó ti yẹ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́.
But all fornication, and uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be named among you, as it becomes saints;
4 Ìbá à ṣe ìwà ọ̀bùn, àti ìṣọ̀rọ̀ òmùgọ̀, tàbí ìṣẹ̀fẹ̀ àwọn ohun tí kò tọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kúkú máa dúpẹ́.
and indecorum, or foolish talking, or indecent jesting, which is not becoming, but rather the giving of thanks:
5 Nítorí ẹ̀yin mọ èyí dájú pé, kò sí panṣágà, tàbí aláìmọ́ ènìyàn, tàbí wọ̀bìà (tí í ṣé abọ̀rìṣà), tí yóò ni ìpín kan ni ìjọba Kristi àti Ọlọ́run.
for you are knowing this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni fi ọ̀rọ̀ asán tàn yín jẹ: nítorí nípasẹ̀ nǹkan wọ̀nyí ní ìbínú Ọlọ́run fi ń bọ̀ wá sórí àwọn ọmọ aláìgbọ́ràn.
Let no one deceive you with empty words: for through these the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.
7 Nítorí náà ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ alájọpín pẹ̀lú wọn.
Therefore be not partakers along with them.
8 Nítorí ẹ̀yin tí jẹ́ òkùnkùn lẹ́ẹ̀kan ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin dí ìmọ́lẹ̀, nípa tí Olúwa: ẹ máa rín gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọmọ ìmọ́lẹ̀
For at one time ye were darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord: walk about as children of the light,
9 (nítorí èso Ẹ̀mí ni ìṣoore, àti òdodo àti òtítọ́).
(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
10 Ẹ sì máa wádìí ohun tí í ṣe ìtẹ́wọ́gbà fún Olúwa.
proving what is acceptable to the Lord;
11 Ẹ má sì ṣe bá àwọn oníṣẹ́ òkùnkùn kẹ́gbẹ́ pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kúkú máa bá wọn wí.
and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather indeed convict them.
12 Nítorí ìtìjú tilẹ̀ ni láti máa sọ̀rọ̀ nǹkan wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí àwọn aláìgbọ́ràn ń ṣe ní ìkọ̀kọ̀.
For it is disgraceful even to speak of those things which are done by them in concealment:
13 Ṣùgbọ́n ohun gbogbo tí a tú síta ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ń fì hàn: nítorí ohunkóhun tí ó bá fi nǹkan hàn, ìmọ́lẹ̀ ni.
but all things being convicted by the light are made manifest; for everything made manifest is light.
14 Nítorí náà ni ó ṣe wí pé, “Jí, ìwọ̀ ẹni tí ó sun, sí jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú Kristi yóò sì fún ọ ní ìmọ́lẹ̀.”
Therefore he says, Awake, thou sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon thee.
15 Nítorí náà ẹ kíyèsi láti máa rìn ní ìwà pípé, kì í ṣé bí àwọn òmùgọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n bí àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n;
Therefore see how you walk about circumspectly, not as unwise, but wise;
16 ẹ máa ra ìgbà padà, nítorí búburú ní àwọn ọjọ́.
buying in the opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣé jẹ aláìlóye, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa mòye ohun tí ìfẹ́ Olúwa jásí.
Therefore be not unwise, but understand whatsoever is the will of the Lord.
18 Ẹ má sí ṣe mú wáìnì ní àmupara, nínú èyí tí rúdurùdu wà; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
Be not drunk with wine, in which there is riot, but be ye filled with the Spirit;
19 Ẹ sì máa bá ara yín sọ̀rọ̀ nínú Saamu, àti orin ìyìn, àti orin Ẹ̀mí, ẹ máa kọrin, kí ẹ sì máa kọrin dídùn ní ọkàn yín sí Olúwa.
speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
20 Ẹ máa dúpẹ́ nígbà gbogbo fún ohun gbogbo lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, àní Baba, ní orúkọ Jesu Kristi Olúwa wá.
always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
21 Ẹ máa tẹríba fún ara yín ní ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
being submissive to one another in the fear of Christ.
22 Ẹ̀yin aya, ẹ máa tẹríba fún àwọn ọkọ yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí fún Olúwa.
Wives, be submissive to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
23 Nítorí pé ọkọ ni ó ń ṣe orí aya, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Kristi tí i ṣe orí ìjọ, tí òun si ń ṣe ara rẹ̀, Òun sì ni Olùgbàlà rẹ̀.
because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is also the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.
24 Nítorí náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìjọ tí i tẹríba fún Kristi, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ní kì àwọn aya máa ṣe sí ọkọ wọn ní ohun gbogbo.
But as the church is submissive to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in everything.
25 Ẹ̀yin ọkọ, ẹ fẹ́ràn àwọn aya yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Kristi tí fẹ́ràn ìjọ, tí ó sì fi ara rẹ̀ fún un.
Husbands, love your wives with divine love, as Christ also loved the church with divine love, and gave himself for her;
26 Kí òun lè sọ ọ́ di mímọ́ lẹ́yìn tí ó tí fi ọ̀rọ̀ wẹ̀ ẹ́ nínú agbada omí.
in order that he might sanctify her, having purified her by the washing of water through the word,
27 Kí òun lé mú un wá sọ́dọ̀ ara rẹ̀ bí ìjọ tí ó ní ògo ní àìlábàwọ́n, tàbí àlébù kan, tàbí irú nǹkan bá-wọ̀n-ọn-nì: ṣùgbọ́n kí ó lè jẹ́ mímọ́ àti aláìlábùkù.
in order that he might present to himself the glorious church, having not spot or wrinkle or any of such things; but that she might be holy and blameless.
28 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ó tọ́ kí àwọn ọkùnrin máa fẹ́ràn aya wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara àwọn fúnra wọn.
So the husbands ought to love their own wives with divine love as their own bodies. The one loving his own wife is loving himself:
29 Nítorí kò sì ẹnìkan tí ó ti kórìíra ara rẹ̀; bí kò ṣe pé kí ó máa bọ́ ọ kí ó sì máa ṣìkẹ́ rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Kristi sì ti ń ṣe sí ìjọ.
for no one ever yet hated his own flesh; but he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church;
30 Nítorí pé àwa ni ẹ̀yà ara rẹ̀, àti tí ẹran-ara rẹ̀, àti egungun ara rẹ̀.
because we are members of his body:
31 Nítorí èyí ní ọkùnrin yóò fi baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, òun yóò sì dàpọ̀ mọ́ aya rẹ̀, àwọn méjèèjì yóò sì di ara kan.
on account of this a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife: and they two shall be one flesh.
32 Àṣírí ńlá ní èyí: ṣùgbọ́n èmí ń sọ nípá ti Kristi àti tí ìjọ.
This is a great mystery: but I speak in reference to Christ and the church.
33 Ṣùgbọ́n kí olúkúlùkù yín fẹ́ràn aya rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òun fúnra rẹ̀; kí aya kí ó sì bọ̀wọ̀ fún ọkọ rẹ̀.
Moreover you also each one thus love his own wife with divine love as himself; and that the wife also reverence the husband.
