Efeso 5

1 Ngarud agbalinkayo a mannulad ti Dios, a kas dagiti ay-ayatenna nga annak.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

2 Ken agbiagtayo iti ayat, kas inayatnatayo met ni Cristo ken intedna ti bagina para kadatayo. Maysa isuna a daton ken sagut, nga agbalin a makaay-ayo nga ayamuom iti Dios.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor.

3 Nasken a saan a madakamat kadakayo ti kinaderrep wenno aniaman a kinarugit wenno nagartem a panangagum, a kas umno kadagiti namati.

But lewdness and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

4 Saanyo nga ibaga uray dagiti naaalas, minamaag a sasao, wenno makaidadanes nga angaw, a saan nga umno. Ngem ketdi adda koma ti kinamanagyaman.

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

5 Ta nalawag nga ammoyo nga awan ti naderrep, narugit, wenno naagum a tao, nga isu ket, maysa nga agrukbab kadagiti didiosen, nga adda tawidna iti pagarian ni Cristo ken ti Dios.

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

6 Saanyo a palubosan iti uray maysa nga allilawennakayo babaen ti ubbaw a sasao. Gapu kadagitoy a banbanag ket umay ti pungtot ti Dios kadagiti annak ti kinasukir.

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

7 Isu a saankayo a makipaset kadagitoy.

Be ye not therefore partakers with them.

8 Ta naminsan a dakayo ket kinasipnget, ngem ita ket lawagkayon iti Apo. Isu a magnakayo a kas annak ti lawag.

For ye were sometime darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light;

9 Ta ti bunga ti lawag ket amin a kinaimbag, kinalinteg, ken kinapudno.

(For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth; )

10 Ammoenyo ania iti makaay-ayo iti Apo.

Proving what is acceptable to the Lord.

11 Saankayo a makipaset kadagiti saan a nabunga nga ar-aramid iti kinasipnget. Ngem ketdi, ibutaktakyo dagitoy.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].

12 Ta dagiti banbanag a naaramid babaen kadakuada iti nalimed ket nakababain unay nga iladawan.

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

13 Amin a banbanag, no maiparangarangda babaen iti lawag, ket naibutaktak.

But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light.

14 Ta ti tunggal banag a naiparangarang ket agbalin a lawag. Ngarud ibagbaga daytoy, “Agriingkayo, dakayo a matmaturog, ket agungarkayo manipud iti patay, ket agranniagto ni Cristo kadakayo.”

Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light.

15 Ngarud agannadkayo iti panagbiagyo, saan a kas kadagiti tattao a saan a nasirib ngem kas nasirib.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Subbotenyo iti tiempo gapu ta dagiti al-aldaw ket dakes.

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Saankayo nga agbalin a maag. Ngem ketdi, awatenyo no ania ti pagayatan iti Dios.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].

18 Ken saankayo nga agbartek iti arak, ta mangiturong dayta iti pannakadadael. Ngem ketdi, mapnokayo koma iti Espiritu Santo.

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

19 Agsaritakayo iti tunggal maysa babaen kadagiti salmo ken kadagiti himno ken naespirituan a kankanta. Agkanta ken agdaydayawkayo babaen iti pusoyo iti Apo.

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

20 Agyamankayo a kankanayon para kadagiti amin a banbanag iti nagan ni Apotayo a Jesu-Cristo iti Dios Ama.

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

21 Agpaituraykayo iti tumunggal maysa kas panagraem kenni Cristo.

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

22 Assawa a babbai, agpaituraykayo kadagiti assawayo a lallaki, a kas iti Apo.

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

23 Ta ti asawa a lalaki ti ulo iti asawa a babai, a kas met ni Cristo nga ulo iti iglesia. Isuna iti mangisalakan iti bagi.

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body.

24 Ngem kas iti iglesia ket iturayan ni Cristo, kasta met dagiti asawa a babbai kadagiti asawada a lallaki iti amin a banag.

Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Asawa a lallaki, ayatenyo dagiti asawayo a babbai a kas inayat ni Cristo ti iglesia ken intedna ti bagina para kenkuana.

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

26 Inaramidna daytoy tapno mapagbalinna isuna a nasantoan. Dinalusanna ti iglesia babaen iti panangugasna iti danum babaen ti sao.

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 Inaramidna daytoy tapno maiparangna iti bagina ti maysa a nadayag nga iglesia, nga awan mansana wenno karetket wenno aniaman a kas kadagitoy a banag, ngem ketdi nasantoan ken awan biddutna.

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

28 Iti isu met laeng a wagas, masapul nga ayaten dagiti asawa a lallaki dagiti bukodda nga asawa a babbai a kas bukodda a bagi. Ti siasinoman nga agay-ayat iti bukodna nga asawa a babai ket ay-ayatenna ti bagina.

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

29 Awan ti siasinoman a nanggura iti bukodna a bagi. Ngem ketdi, pakanenna ken ayatenna daytoy, a kas ay-ayaten met ni Cristo ti iglesia.

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

30 Ta kamkamengnatayo iti bagina.

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

31 “Para iti daytoy a rason a panawan ti lalaki ti ama ken inana ket maitipon iti asawana a babai, ket ti dua ket agbalin a maysa a bagi.”

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

32 Daytoy ket dakkel a nailimed a kinapudno, ngem agsasaoak maipanggep kenni Cristo ken ti iglesia.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

33 Nupay kasta, masapul met nga ayaten ti tunggal maysa kadakayo ti bukodna nga asawa a babai a kas iti bagina, ken masapul a raemen ti asawa a babai ti asawana a lalaki.

Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself: and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
