Ephesians 5
1 So then, imitate God since you're his much-loved children.
ⲁ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ.
2 Live in love, just as Christ loved you. He gave himself for us, a gift and sacrificial offering to God like a sweet-smelling perfume.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲫⲟⲣⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲥϯⲛⲟⲩϥⲉ.
3 Sexual immorality or any kind of indecency or greed should never be mentioned concerning you, as God's people should not be doing such things.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲥⲓⲁ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲩⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣⲓⲛⲟⲩ ⲣⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲣⲉⲡⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
4 Obscene talk, stupid chatter, and coarse jokes are totally inappropriate—instead you should be thanking God.
ⲇ̅ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩϣⲗⲟϥ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩ(ϣ)ϫⲥⲟϭ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲗⲗⲏⲃ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲉϣϣⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ.
5 You know it's absolutely sure that no-one who is sexually immoral, or commits indecency, or who is greedy, or is an idol-worshiper will inherit anything in the kingdom of Christ and God.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲏ̅ ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲥ. ⲏ̅ ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲣⲉϥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
6 Don't let anyone fool you with lying words, for it's because of such things that God's judgment is passed on the children of disobedience.
ⲋ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲣ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲩⲓ̈ⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ.
7 So don't partner with them in this.
ⲍ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲏⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
8 At one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. You are to live as children of light
ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
9 (and the fruit of light is everything that's good and right and true),
ⲑ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
10 demonstrating what the Lord really appreciates.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
11 Don't have anything to do with the pointless things that darkness produces—instead expose them.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲉⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲡⲓⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ.
12 It's shameful even to speak about the things such people do secretly,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲉⲛϣⲗⲟϥ ⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲕⲉϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ·
13 but when anything is exposed by the light then it's revealed as it is. Light makes everything visible.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϣⲁⲣⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲡⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲉ.
14 That's why it's said, “Wake up, those of you who are sleeping, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲅ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲛⲅ̅ⲗⲟ ⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲧⲁⲣⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ.
15 So be careful how you live your life, not foolishly, but wisely,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ϭⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲣϫ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲁⲃⲉ.
16 making the best use of opportunities because the days are evil.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲟⲩ.
17 So don't be ignorant—find out what the Lord's will is.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲑⲏⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
18 Don't get drunk on wine which will wreck your life, but be filled with the Spirit.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϯϩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲏⲣⲡ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲛⲁ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅.
19 Share together with one another, using psalms and hymns and sacred songs, singing and making music to the Lord to express what you feel.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲯⲁⲗⲙⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲙⲟⲩ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲱⲇⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲯⲁⲗⲗⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
20 Always thank God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ
21 Each of you should be willing to accept what others tell you to do out of reverence for Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
22 Wives, do what your own husbands tell you to do, as you would if the Lord told you.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
23 The husband is head of the wife in the same way as Christ is head of the church—his body and its savior.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲡϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ.
24 In the same way that the church does what Christ says, wives should do what their husbands tell them in all things.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ. ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ.
25 Husbands, you should love your wives in the same way as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ
26 He made it holy, he made it clean by washing in the water of the word,
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲥ. ⲉⲁϥⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕⲙ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
27 so that he could make the church his own, with no flaw or blemish or any kind of fault, but holy and blameless.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ̅ ⲉⲥⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲏⲩ. ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϫⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅. ⲏ̅ ⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅. ⲏ̅ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅·
28 Husbands should love their wives just like this, as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself—
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲩϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ. ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲁϥ.
29 for no one ever hated his own body, but feeds it and looks after it, just as Christ does for the church,
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲙⲉⲥⲧⲉⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲥⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲥ̅. ⲛϥ̅ⲑⲁⲗⲡⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
30 for we are parts of his body.
ⲗ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ·
31 “This is why a man leaves his father and mother, and is joined to his wife, and the two are united in one.”
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲕⲁⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ. ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ
32 This is a deep hidden truth—but I'm talking about Christ and the church.

33 However, each husband should love his own wife as he does himself, and the wife should respect her husband.
