Ephesians 5
1 Nítorí náà, ẹ máa ṣe àfarawé Ọlọ́run bí àwọn olùfẹ́ ọmọ,
Be therefore 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 in love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you an offering and a sacrifice to God, of a sweet odor.
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 fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints,
4 Ìbá à ṣe ìwà ọ̀bùn, àti ìṣọ̀rọ̀ òmùgọ̀, tàbí ìṣẹ̀fẹ̀ àwọn ohun tí kò tọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kúkú máa dúpẹ́.
neither obscenity, nor foolish talking, nor indecent jesting, which are not becoming; but rather 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 of this ye are sure, since ye know that no whore-monger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and 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 vain words; for because of these things the wrath of God cometh upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Nítorí náà ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ alájọpín pẹ̀lú wọn.
Be not therefore partakers 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 ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord. Walk as children of 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 even reprove them.
12 Nítorí ìtìjú tilẹ̀ ni láti máa sọ̀rọ̀ nǹkan wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí àwọn aláìgbọ́ràn ń ṣe ní ìkọ̀kọ̀.
For the things done in secret by them it is a shame even to speak of.
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, when reproved, are made manifest by the light; for whatever maketh 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.”
Wherefore he saith, “Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light.”
15 Nítorí náà ẹ kíyèsi láti máa rìn ní ìwà pípé, kì í ṣé bí àwọn òmùgọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n bí àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n;
See then that ye walk circumspectly; not as unwise men, but as wise;
16 ẹ máa ra ìgbà padà, nítorí búburú ní àwọn ọjọ́.
buying up for yourselves opportunities, because the days are evil.
17 Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣé jẹ aláìlóye, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa mòye ohun tí ìfẹ́ Olúwa jásí.
Wherefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 Ẹ má sí ṣe mú wáìnì ní àmupara, nínú èyí tí rúdurùdu wà; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
And be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be 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 to one 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.
giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 Ẹ máa tẹríba fún ara yín ní ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run.
submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
22 Ẹ̀yin aya, ẹ máa tẹríba fún àwọn ọkọ yín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí fún Olúwa.
Wives, submit yourselves 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.
for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, —he, who is 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 subject to Christ, so let 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, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it,
26 Kí òun lè sọ ọ́ di mímọ́ lẹ́yìn tí ó tí fi ọ̀rọ̀ wẹ̀ ẹ́ nínú agbada omí.
that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of the water in 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.
that he himself might present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ó tọ́ kí àwọn ọkùnrin máa fẹ́ràn aya wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara àwọn fúnra wọn.
In like manner husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth 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 nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ doth the church;
30 Nítorí pé àwa ni ẹ̀yà ara rẹ̀, àti tí ẹran-ara rẹ̀, àti egungun ara rẹ̀.
for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
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.
“For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to 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 mystery is a great one; but I am speaking of Christ and of 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.
However, do ye also severally love each one his own wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.
