Ephesians 5

1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

١ فَكُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِٱللهِ كَأَوْلَادٍ أَحِبَّاءَ،

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man (who is an idolater), has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

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

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

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

7 Therefore don’t be partakers with them.

٧ فَلَا تَكُونُوا شُرَكَاءَهُمْ.

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

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

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

٩ لِأَنَّ ثَمَرَ ٱلرُّوحِ هُوَ فِي كُلِّ صَلَاحٍ وَبِرٍّ وَحَقٍّ.

10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

١٠ مُخْتَبِرِينَ مَا هُوَ مَرْضِيٌّ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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

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

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

١٢ لِأَنَّ ٱلْأُمُورَ ٱلْحَادِثَةَ مِنْهُمْ سِرًّا، ذِكْرُهَا أَيْضًا قَبِيحٌ.

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

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

14 Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

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

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

١٥ فَٱنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَسْلُكُونَ بِٱلتَّدْقِيقِ، لَا كَجُهَلَاءَ بَلْ كَحُكَمَاءَ،

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

١٦ مُفْتَدِينَ ٱلْوَقْتَ لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَيَّامَ شِرِّيرَةٌ.

17 Therefore, don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

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

18 Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

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

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

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

20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

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

21 subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.

٢١ خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِي خَوْفِ ٱللهِ.

22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

٢٢ أَيُّهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ، ٱخْضَعْنَ لِرِجَالِكُنَّ كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ،

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

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

24 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

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

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her,

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

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

٢٦ لِكَيْ يُقَدِّسَهَا، مُطَهِّرًا إِيَّاهَا بِغَسْلِ ٱلْمَاءِ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ،

27 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without defect.

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

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

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

29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly,

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

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

٣٠ لِأَنَّنَا أَعْضَاءُ جِسْمِهِ، مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَمِنْ عِظَامِهِ.

31 “For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh.”

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

32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and the assembly.

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

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

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