Lettera agli Efesini (افسس) 5

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 فكونوا متمثلين بالله كاولاد احباء.	1 As God's dear children, then, take him as your pattern,
2 واسلكوا في المحبة كما احبنا المسيح ايضا واسلم نفسه لاجلنا قربانا وذبيحة للّه رائحة طيبة	2 and fol ow Christ by loving as he loved you, giving himself up for us as an offering and a sweet-smel ingsacrifice to God.
3 واما الزنى وكل نجاسة او طمع فلا يسمّ بينكم كما يليق بقديسين	3 Among you there must be not even a mention of sexual vice or impurity in any of its forms, or greed:this would scarcely become the holy people of God!
4 ولا القباحة ولا كلام السفاهة والهزل التي لا تليق بل بالحري الشكر.	4 There must be no foul or salacious talk or coarse jokes -- al this is wrong for you; there should ratherbe thanksgiving.
5 فانكم تعلمون هذا ان كل زان او نجس او طماع الذي هو عابد للاوثان ليس له ميراث في ملكوت المسيح والله.	5 For you can be quite certain that nobody who indulges in sexual immorality or impurity or greed -- whichis worshipping a false god -- can inherit the kingdom of God.
6 لا يغركم احد بكلام باطل لانه بسبب هذه الامور يأتي غضب الله على ابناء المعصية.	6 Do not let anyone deceive you with empty arguments: it is such behaviour that draws down God'sretribution on those who rebel against him.
7 فلا تكونوا شركاءهم.	7 Make sure that you do not throw in your lot with them.
8 لانكم كنتم قبلا ظلمة واما الآن فنور في الرب. اسلكوا كاولاد نور.	8 You were darkness once, but now you are light in the Lord; behave as children of light,
9 لان ثمر الروح هو في كل صلاح وبر وحق.	9 for the effects of the light are seen in complete goodness and uprightness and truth.
10 مختبرين ما هو مرضي عند الرب.	10 Try to discover what the Lord wants of you,
11 ولا تشتركوا في اعمال الظلمة غير المثمرة بل بالحري وبخوها.	11 take no part in the futile works of darkness but, on the contrary, show them up for what they are.
12 لان الامور الحادثة منهم سرّا ذكرها ايضا قبيح.	12 The things which are done in secret are shameful even to speak of;
13 ولكن الكل اذا توبخ يظهر بالنور. لان كل ما اظهر فهو نور.	13 but anything shown up by the light wil be il uminated
14 لذلك يقول استيقظ ايها النائم وقم من الاموات فيضيء لك المسيح	14 and anything illuminated is itself a light. That is why it is said: Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead,and Christ wil shine on you.
15 فانظروا كيف تسلكون بالتدقيق لا كجهلاء بل كحكماء	15 So be very careful about the sort of lives you lead, like intel igent and not like senseless people.
16 مفتدين الوقت لان الايام شريرة.	16 Make the best of the present time, for it is a wicked age.
17 من اجل ذلك لا تكونوا اغبياء بل فاهمين ما هي مشيئة الرب.	17 This is why you must not be thoughtless but must recognise what is the will of the Lord.
18 ولا تسكروا بالخمر الذي فيه الخلاعة بل امتلئوا بالروح	18 Do not get drunk with wine; this is simply dissipation; be fil ed with the Spirit.
19 مكلمين بعضكم بعضا بمزامير وتسابيح واغاني روحية مترنمين ومرتلين في قلوبكم للرب.	19 Sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs among yourselves, singing and chanting to the Lord inyour hearts,
20 شاكرين كل حين على كل شيء في اسم ربنا يسوع المسيح للّه والآب.	20 always and everywhere giving thanks to God who is our Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 خاضعين بعضكم لبعض في خوف الله	21 Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 ايها النساء اخضعن لرجالكنّ كما للرب.	22 Wives should be subject to their husbands as to the Lord,
23 لان الرجل هو راس المرأة كما ان المسيح ايضا راس الكنيسة. وهو مخلّص الجسد.	23 since, as Christ is head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is a husband the head of his wife;
24 ولكن كما تخضع الكنيسة للمسيح كذلك النساء لرجالهنّ في كل شيء.	24 and as the Church is subject to Christ, so should wives be to their husbands, in everything.
25 ايها الرجال احبوا نساءكم كما احب المسيح ايضا الكنيسة واسلم نفسه لاجلها	25 Husbands should love their wives, just as Christ loved the Church and sacrificed himself for her
26 لكي يقدسها مطهرا اياها بغسل الماء بالكلمة	26 to make her holy by washing her in cleansing water with a form of words,
27 لكي يحضرها لنفسه كنيسة مجيدة لا دنس فيها ولا غضن او شيء من مثل ذلك بل تكون مقدسة وبلا عيب.	27 so that when he took the Church to himself she would be glorious, with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless.
28 كذلك يجب على الرجال ان يحبوا نساءهم كاجسادهم. من يحب امرأته يحب نفسه.	28 In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies; for a man to love hiswife is for him to love himself.
29 فانه لم يبغض احد جسده قط بل يقوته ويربيه كما الرب ايضا للكنيسة.	29 A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats theChurch,
30 لاننا اعضاء جسمه من لحمه ومن عظامه.	30 because we are parts of his Body.
31 من اجل هذا يترك الرجل اباه وامه ويلتصق بامرأته ويكون الاثنان جسدا واحدا.	31 This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and the twobecome one flesh.
32 هذا السر عظيم ولكنني انا اقول من نحو المسيح والكنيسة.	32 This mystery has great significance, but I am applying it to Christ and the Church.
33 واما انتم الافراد فليحب كل واحد امرأته هكذا كنفسه واما المرأة فلتهب رجلها	33 To sum up: you also, each one of you, must love his wife as he loves himself; and let every wiferespect her husband.
