أفَسُس 5

١ 1 فَكُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِٱللهِ كَأَوْلَادٍ أَحِبَّاءَ،

Be you, 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, as the Christ also loved us, and gave himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor.

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

But lewdness, and all manner of uncleanness, or covetousness, let them not be named among you, as it becomes saints;

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

nor obscene language, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not becoming; but rather the cheerful words of a thankful heart.

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

For you know this, that no lewd nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God.

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

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

٧ 7 فَلَا تَكُونُوا شُرَكَاءَهُمْ.

Therefore, be not partakers with them.

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

For you were formerly darkness; but now you are 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 Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; )

١٠ 10 مُخْتَبِرِينَ مَا هُوَ مَرْضِيٌّ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

learning what is acceptable to the Lord;

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

and do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;

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

for it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by them in secret.

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

But all these works, when reproved, are made manifest by the light: for every thing that makes manifest is light.

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

Wherefore, the scripture says: Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.

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

See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men,

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.

Wherefore, be not ignorant, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

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

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

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

speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

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

giving thanks to our God and Father always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

٢١ 21 خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِي خَوْفِ ٱللهِ.

being subject one to another in the fear of God.

٢٢ 22 أَيُّهَا ٱلنِّسَاءُ، ٱخْضَعْنَ لِرِجَالِكُنَّ كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ،

Wives, be subject to your own 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, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is 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 the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing.

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

Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,

٢٦ 26 لِكَيْ يُقَدِّسَهَا، مُطَهِّرًا إِيَّاهَا بِغَسْلِ ٱلْمَاءِ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ،

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word,

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

in order that he might present it to himself a glorious church, having neither stain, nor wrinkle, nor 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.

So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself;

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

for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church:

٣٠ 30 لِأَنَّنَا أَعْضَاءُ جِسْمِهِ، مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَمِنْ عِظَامِهِ.

because we are members of his body, being 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 shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

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

Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church.

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

But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.
