Efeso 5
1 Ngarud agbalinkayo a mannulad ti Dios, a kas dagiti ay-ayatenna nga annak.
Therefore be imitators of God, as His 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 live and act lovingly, as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up to death on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice to God, yielding a fragrant odor.
3 Nasken a saan a madakamat kadakayo ti kinaderrep wenno aniaman a kinarugit wenno nagartem a panangagum, a kas umno kadagiti namati.
But fornication and every kind of impurity, or covetousness, let them not even be mentioned among you, for they ought not to be named among God's people.
4 Saanyo nga ibaga uray dagiti naaalas, minamaag a sasao, wenno makaidadanes nga angaw, a saan nga umno. Ngem ketdi adda koma ti kinamanagyaman.
Avoid shameful and foolish talk and low jesting--they are all alike discreditable--and in place of these give 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 be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber--or in other words idol-worshipper--has any share awaiting him 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 one deceive you with empty words, for it is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming upon the disobedient.
7 Isu a saankayo a makipaset kadagitoy.
Therefore do not become sharers with them.
8 Ta naminsan a dakayo ket kinasipnget, ngem ita ket lawagkayon iti Apo. Isu a magnakayo a kas annak ti lawag.
There was a time when you were nothing but darkness. Now, as Christians, you are Light itself.
9 Ta ti bunga ti lawag ket amin a kinaimbag, kinalinteg, ken kinapudno.
Live and act as sons of Light--for the effect of the Light is seen in every kind of goodness, uprightness and truth--
10 Ammoenyo ania iti makaay-ayo iti Apo.
and learn in your own experiences what is fully pleasing to the Lord.
11 Saankayo a makipaset kadagiti saan a nabunga nga ar-aramid iti kinasipnget. Ngem ketdi, ibutaktakyo dagitoy.
Have nothing to do with the barren unprofitable deeds of darkness, but, instead of that, set your faces against them;
12 Ta dagiti banbanag a naaramid babaen kadakuada iti nalimed ket nakababain unay nga iladawan.
for the things which are done by these people in secret it is disgraceful even to speak of.
13 Amin a banbanag, no maiparangarangda babaen iti lawag, ket naibutaktak.
But everything can be tested by the light and thus be shown in its true colors; for whatever shines of itself 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.”
For this reason it is said, "Rise, sleeper; rise from among the dead, and Christ will shed light upon you."
15 Ngarud agannadkayo iti panagbiagyo, saan a kas kadagiti tattao a saan a nasirib ngem kas nasirib.
Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.
16 Subbotenyo iti tiempo gapu ta dagiti al-aldaw ket dakes.
Buy up your opportunities, for these are evil times.
17 Saankayo nga agbalin a maag. Ngem ketdi, awatenyo no ania ti pagayatan iti Dios.
On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is.
18 Ken saankayo nga agbartek iti arak, ta mangiturong dayta iti pannakadadael. Ngem ketdi, mapnokayo koma iti Espiritu Santo.
Do not over-indulge in wine--a thing in which excess is so easy--
19 Agsaritakayo iti tunggal maysa babaen kadagiti salmo ken kadagiti himno ken naespirituan a kankanta. Agkanta ken agdaydayawkayo babaen iti pusoyo iti Apo.
but drink deeply of God's Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and offer praise in your hearts to the Lord.
20 Agyamankayo a kankanayon para kadagiti amin a banbanag iti nagan ni Apotayo a Jesu-Cristo iti Dios Ama.
Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Agpaituraykayo iti tumunggal maysa kas panagraem kenni Cristo.
and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Assawa a babbai, agpaituraykayo kadagiti assawayo a lallaki, a kas iti Apo.
Married women, submit to your own husbands as if 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.
because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His Body.
24 Ngem kas iti iglesia ket iturayan ni Cristo, kasta met dagiti asawa a babbai kadagiti asawada a lallaki iti amin a banag.
And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.
25 Asawa a lallaki, ayatenyo dagiti asawayo a babbai a kas inayat ni Cristo ti iglesia ken intedna ti bagina para kenkuana.
Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;
26 Inaramidna daytoy tapno mapagbalinna isuna a nasantoan. Dinalusanna ti iglesia babaen iti panangugasna iti danum babaen ti sao.
in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal 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 the Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.
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 too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves 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 never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;
30 Ta kamkamengnatayo iti bagina.
because we are, as it were, parts of His Body.
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 reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one."
32 Daytoy ket dakkel a nailimed a kinapudno, ngem agsasaoak maipanggep kenni Cristo ken ti iglesia.
That is a great truth hitherto kept secret: I mean the truth 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.
Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.
