أفَسُس 5

١ 1 فَكُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِٱللهِ كَأَوْلَادٍ أَحِبَّاءَ،

Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

٢ 2 وَٱسْلُكُوا فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ كَمَا أَحَبَّنَا ٱلْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا وَأَسْلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لِأَجْلِنَا، قُرْبَانًا وَذَبِيحَةً لِلهِ رَائِحَةً طَيِّبَةً.

And walk in love, even as Meshikha also loved us, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

٣ 3 وَأَمَّا ٱلزِّنَا وَكُلُّ نَجَاسَةٍ أَوْ طَمَعٍ فَلَا يُسَمَّ بَيْنَكُمْ كَمَا يَلِيقُ بِقِدِّيسِينَ،

But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;

٤ 4 وَلَا ٱلْقَبَاحَةُ وَلَا كَلَامُ ٱلسَّفَاهَةِ وَٱلْهَزْلُ ٱلَّتِي لَا تَلِيقُ، بَلْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ ٱلشُّكْرُ.

nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.

٥ 5 فَإِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ هَذَا: أَنَّ كُلَّ زَانٍ أَوْ نَجِسٍ أَوْ طَمَّاعٍ -ٱلَّذِي هُوَ عَابِدٌ لِلْأَوْثَانِ- لَيْسَ لَهُ مِيرَاثٌ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَٱللهِ.

Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, that is, an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Meshikha and God.

٦ 6 لَا يَغُرَّكُمْ أَحَدٌ بِكَلَامٍ بَاطِلٍ، لِأَنَّهُ بِسَبَبِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ يَأْتِي غَضَبُ ٱللهِ عَلَى أَبْنَاءِ ٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ.

Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

٧ 7 فَلَا تَكُونُوا شُرَكَاءَهُمْ.

Therefore do not be partakers with them.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ قَبْلًا ظُلْمَةً، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَنُورٌ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. ٱسْلُكُوا كَأَوْلَادِ نُورٍ.

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

٩ 9 لِأَنَّ ثَمَرَ ٱلرُّوحِ هُوَ فِي كُلِّ صَلَاحٍ وَبِرٍّ وَحَقٍّ.

for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

١٠ 10 مُخْتَبِرِينَ مَا هُوَ مَرْضِيٌّ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

١١ 11 وَلَا تَشْتَرِكُوا فِي أَعْمَالِ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةِ بَلْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ وَبِّخُوهَا.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّ ٱلْأُمُورَ ٱلْحَادِثَةَ مِنْهُمْ سِرًّا، ذِكْرُهَا أَيْضًا قَبِيحٌ.

For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.

١٣ 13 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْكُلَّ إِذَا تَوَبَّخَ يُظْهَرُ بِٱلنُّورِ. لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا أُظْهِرَ فَهُوَ نُورٌ.

But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ: «ٱسْتَيْقِظْ أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّائِمُ وَقُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ فَيُضِيءَ لَكَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ».

Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and rise from the dead, and Meshikha will shine on you."

١٥ 15 فَٱنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَسْلُكُونَ بِٱلتَّدْقِيقِ، لَا كَجُهَلَاءَ بَلْ كَحُكَمَاءَ،

Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

١٦ 16 مُفْتَدِينَ ٱلْوَقْتَ لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَيَّامَ شِرِّيرَةٌ.

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

١٧ 17 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا تَكُونُوا أَغْبِيَاءَ بَلْ فَاهِمِينَ مَا هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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

١٨ 18 وَلَا تَسْكَرُوا بِٱلْخَمْرِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ ٱلْخَلَاعَةُ، بَلِ ٱمْتَلِئُوا بِٱلرُّوحِ،

Do not get drunk with wine, which is debauchery, but be filled with the Rukha,

١٩ 19 مُكَلِّمِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا بِمَزَامِيرَ وَتَسَابِيحَ وَأَغَانِيَّ رُوحِيَّةٍ، مُتَرَنِّمِينَ وَمُرَتِّلِينَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ.

speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your heart to the Lord;

٢٠ 20 شَاكِرِينَ كُلَّ حِينٍ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فِي ٱسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِلهِ وَٱلْآبِ.

giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha to God the Father;

٢١ 21 خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِي خَوْفِ ٱللهِ.

subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Meshikha.

٢٢ 22 أَيُّهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ، ٱخْضَعْنَ لِرِجَالِكُنَّ كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ،

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

٢٣ 23 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ هُوَ رَأْسُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ أَيْضًا رَأْسُ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ، وَهُوَ مُخَلِّصُ ٱلْجَسَدِ.

For the husband is the head of the wife, and Meshikha also is the head of the church, being himself the savior of the body.

٢٤ 24 وَلَكِنْ كَمَا تَخْضَعُ ٱلْكَنِيسَةُ لِلْمَسِيحِ، كَذَلِكَ ٱلنِّسَاءُ لِرِجَالِهِنَّ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

But as the church is subject to Meshikha, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.

٢٥ 25 أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، أَحِبُّوا نِسَاءَكُمْ كَمَا أَحَبَّ ٱلْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا ٱلْكَنِيسَةَ وَأَسْلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لِأَجْلِهَا،

Husbands, love your wives, even as Meshikha also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;

٢٦ 26 لِكَيْ يُقَدِّسَهَا، مُطَهِّرًا إِيَّاهَا بِغَسْلِ ٱلْمَاءِ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ،

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

٢٧ 27 لِكَيْ يُحْضِرَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ كَنِيسَةً مَجِيدَةً، لَا دَنَسَ فِيهَا وَلَا غَضْنَ أَوْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ، بَلْ تَكُونُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَبِلَا عَيْبٍ.

that he might present the church to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

٢٨ 28 كَذَلِكَ يَجِبُ عَلَى ٱلرِّجَالِ أَنْ يُحِبُّوا نِسَاءَهُمْ كَأَجْسَادِهِمْ. مَنْ يُحِبُّ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ يُحِبُّ نَفْسَهُ.

Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

٢٩ 29 فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْغِضْ أَحَدٌ جَسَدَهُ قَطُّ، بَلْ يَقُوتُهُ وَيُرَبِّيهِ، كَمَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَيْضًا لِلْكَنِيسَةِ.

For no one ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Meshikha also does the church;

٣٠ 30 لِأَنَّنَا أَعْضَاءُ جِسْمِهِ، مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَمِنْ عِظَامِهِ.

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

٣١ 31 «مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا يَتْرُكُ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِٱمْرَأَتِهِ، وَيَكُونُ ٱلِٱثْنَانِ جَسَدًا وَاحِدًا».

"For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

٣٢ 32 هَذَا ٱلسِّرُّ عَظِيمٌ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أَنَا أَقُولُ مِنْ نَحْوِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَٱلْكَنِيسَةِ.

This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Meshikha and of the church.

٣٣ 33 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمُ ٱلْأَفْرَادُ، فَلْيُحِبَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ هَكَذَا كَنَفْسِهِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمَرْأَةُ فَلْتَهَبْ رَجُلَهَا.

Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
