Ephesians 5

1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

١ فَاقْتَدُوا إِذَنْ بِاللهِ كَأَوْلاَدٍ أَحِبَّاءَ،

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

٢ وَاسْلُكُوا فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ عَلَى مِثَالِ الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي أَحَبَّنَا وَبَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِنَا تَقْدِمَةً وَذَبِيحَةً لِلهِ طَيِّبَةَ الرَّائِحَةِ.

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

٣ أَمَّا الزِّنَى، وَكُلُّ نَجَاسَةٍ أَوْ شَهْوَةٍ نَهِمَةٍ، فَلاَ يُذْكَرْ بَيْنَكُمْ حَتَّى اسْمُهَا، كَمَا يَلِيقُ بِالْقِدِّيسِينَ.

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

٤ وَكَذَلِكَ الْبَذَاءَةُ وَالْكَلاَمُ السَّفِيهُ وَالْهَزْلُ، فَهِيَ غَيْرُ لاَئِقَةٍ. وَإِنَّمَا أَحْرَى بِكُمْ أَنْ تَلْهَجُوا بِالشُّكْرِ لِلهِ!

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

٥ فَإِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ هَذَا جَيِّداً: أَنَّ كُلَّ زَانٍ أَوْ نَجِسٍ أَوْ صَاحِبِ شَهْوَةٍ نَهِمَةٍ، مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ عَابِدُ أَصْنَامٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِيرَاثٌ فِي مَلَكُوتِ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ.

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 لاَ يَخْدَعْكُمْ أَحَدٌ بِكَلاَمٍ بَاطِلٍ! فَبِسَبَبِ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ يَحِلُّ غَضَبُ اللهِ عَلَى أَبْنَاءِ الْعِصْيَانِ.

7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.

٧ إِذَنْ، لاَ تَكُونُوا شُرَكَاءَ لَهُمْ:

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

٨ فَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ فِي الْمَاضِي ظَلاَماً، وَلَكِنَّكُمُ الآنَ نُورٌ فِي الرَّبِّ. فَاسْلُكُوا سُلُوكَ أَوْلاَدِ النُّورِ.

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

٩ فَإِنَّ ثَمَرَ النُّورِ يَكُونُ فِي كُلِّ صَلاَحٍ وَاسْتِقَامَةٍ وَحَقٍّ.

10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

١٠ هَكَذَا تَخْتَبِرُونَ الأُمُورَ الَّتِي تُرْضِي الرَّبَّ.

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

١١ وَعَلَيْكُمْ أَلاَّ تَكْتَفُوا بِعَدَمِ الاشْتِرَاكِ فِي أَعْمَالِ الظَّلاَمِ الْعَقِيمَةِ، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى أَنْ تَفْضَحُوهَا أَيْضاً.

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

١٢ فَالأُمُورُ الَّتِي يَفْعَلُونَهَا سِرّاً، قَبِيحٌ حَتَّى ذِكْرُهَا.

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

١٣ إِلاَّ أَنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، إِذَا مَا فَضَحَ النُّورُ أَمْرَهُ، يَصِيرُ مَكْشُوفاً:

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

١٤ لأَنَّ الَّذِي يَكْشِفُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ النُّورُ. لِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ: «اسْتَيْقِظْ أَيُّهَا النَّائِمُ، وَقُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، فَيُشْرِقَ عَلَيْكَ نُورُ الْمَسِيحِ!»

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

١٥ فَانْتَبِهُوا تَمَاماً إِذَنْ كَيْفَ تَسْلُكُونَ بِتَدْقِيقٍ، لاَ سُلُوكَ الْجُهَلاَءِ بَلْ سُلُوكَ الْعُقَلاَءِ،

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

١٦ مُسْتَغِلِّينَ الْوَقْتَ أَحْسَنَ اسْتِغْلاَلٍ، لأَنَّ الأَيَّامَ شِرِّيرَةٌ.

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

١٧ لِذَلِكَ لاَ تَكُونُوا أَغْبِيَاءَ، بَلِ افْهَمُوا مَا هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ الرَّبِّ.

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

١٨ لاَ تَسْكَرُوا بِالْخَمْرِ، فَفِيهَا الْخَلاَعَةُ، وَإِنَّمَا امْتَلِئُوا بِالرُّوحِ،

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

١٩ مُحَدِّثِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً بِمَزَامِيرَ وَتَسَابِيحَ وَأَنَاشِيدَ رُوحِيَّةٍ، مُرَنِّمِينَ وَمُرَتِّلِينَ بِقُلُوبِكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ؛

20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah to God the Father;

٢٠ رَافِعِينَ الشُّكْرَ كُلَّ حِينٍ وَعَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لِلهِ وَالآبِ، بِاسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ؛

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

٢١ خَاضِعِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِي مَخَافَةِ الْمَسِيحِ.

22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

٢٢ أَيَّتُهَا الزَّوْجَاتُ، اخْضَعْنَ لأَزْوَاجِكُنَّ، كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ.

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

٢٣ فَإِنَّ الزَّوْجَ هُوَ رَأْسُ الزَّوْجَةِ كَمَا أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ أَيْضاً هُوَ رَأْسُ الْكَنِيسَةِ (جَسَدِهِ)، وَهُوَ نَفْسُهُ مُخَلِّصُ الْجَسَدِ.

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

٢٤ فَكَمَا أَنَّ الْكَنِيسَةَ قَدْ أُخْضِعَتْ لِلْمَسِيحِ، فَكَذلِكَ الزَّوْجَاتُ أَيْضاً لأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ، فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

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

٢٥ أَيُّهَا الأَزْوَاجُ، أَحِبُّوا زَوْجَاتِكُمْ مِثْلَمَا أَحَبَّ الْمَسِيحُ الْكَنِيسَةَ وَبَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِهَا،

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

٢٦ لِكَيْ يُقَدِّسَهَا مُطَهِّراً إِيَّاهَا بِغَسْلِ الْمَاءِ، بِالْكَلِمَةِ،

27 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.

٢٧ حَتَّى يَزُفَّهَا إِلَى نَفْسِهِ كَنِيسَةً بَهِيَّةً لاَ يَشُوبُهَا عَيْبٌ أَوْ تَجَعُّدٌ أَوْ أَيَّةُ نَقِيصَةٍ مُشَابِهَةٍ بَلْ تَكُونُ مُقَدَّسَةً خَالِيَةً مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ.

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

٢٨ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِثَالِ يَجِبُ عَلَى الأَزْوَاجِ أَنْ يُحِبُّوا زَوْجَاتِهِمْ كَأَجْسَادِهِمْ. إِنَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ زَوْجَتَهُ، يُحِبُّ نَفْسَهُ.

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

٢٩ فَلاَ أَحَدَ يُبْغِضُ جَسَدَهُ الْبَتَّةَ، بَلْ يُغَذِّيهِ وَيَعْتَنِي بِهِ، كَمَا يُعَامِلُ الْمَسِيحُ أَيْضاً الْكَنِيسَةَ.

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

٣٠ فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَعْضَاءُ جَسَدِهِ.

31 "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."

٣١ لِذَلِكَ يَسْتَقِلُّ الزَّوْجُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ، وَيَتَّحِدُ بِزَوْجَتِهِ، فَيَصِيرُ الاثْنَانِ جَسَداً وَاحِداً.

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

٣٢ هَذَا السِّرُّ عَظِيمٌ وَلَكِنَّنِي أُشِيرُ بِهِ إِلَى الْمَسِيحِ وَالْكَنِيسَةِ!

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 إِنَّمَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً، كُلٌّ بِمُفْرَدِهِ، لِيُحِبْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ زَوْجَتَهُ كَنَفْسِهِ. وَأَمَّا الزَّوْجَةُ، فَعَلَيْهَا أَنْ تَهَابَ زَوْجَهَا.
