Ephesians 5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.	1 ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܀
2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.	2 ܘܗܠܟܘ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܒܢ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܢ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܘܕܒܚܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܪܝܚܐ ܒܤܝܡܐ ܀
3 But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints.	3 ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܟܠܗ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܘܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܡܫܬܡܗܘ ܬܫܬܡܗ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܐܐ ܠܩܕܝܫܐ ܀
4 Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving.	4 ܘܠܐ ܨܘܚܝܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܠܐ ܕܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܕܒܙܚܐ ܐܘ ܕܫܥܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܒܥܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܠܦ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܀
5 Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.	5 ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܙܢܝܐ ܐܘ ܛܢܦܐ ܐܘ ܥܠܘܒܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܦܠܚ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.	6 ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܛܥܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܠܐ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܐ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܢܘܬܐ ܀
7 Therefore do not associate with them,	7 ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܬܦܐ ܀
8 for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light	8 ܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܀
9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),	9 ܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܛܒܘܬܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܩܘܫܬܐ ܀
10 and try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.	10 ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܫܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܢ ܀
11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.	11 ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܘܬܦܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܟܘܢܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret;	12 ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܛܘܫܝܝ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܢܕܝܕ ܗܘ ܐܦ ܠܡܡܠܠܘܬܗ ܀
13 but when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.	13 ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܘܡܬܓܠܐ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܓܠܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܘ ܀
14 Therefore it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light."	14 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܝܪ ܕܐܬܬܥܝܪ ܕܡܟܐ ܘܩܘܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܢܢܗܪ ܠܟ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,	15 ܚܙܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܙܗܝܐܝܬ ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܤܟܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܀
16 making the most of the time, because the days are evil.	16 ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܩܐܪܤܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܘܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.	17 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܚܤܝܪܝ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܡܢܘ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,	18 ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܘܝܢ ܒܚܡܪܐ ܕܒܗ ܐܝܬ ܐܤܘܛܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܡܠܘ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܀
19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart,	19 ܘܡܠܠܘ ܥܡ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܒܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܘܒܬܫܒܚܬܐ ܘܒܙܡܝܪܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܙܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܀
20 always and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.	20 ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܟܠܢܫ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܀
21 Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.	21 ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܒܚܘܒܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
22 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.	22 ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܬܝܢ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܢ ܠܒܥܠܝܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܀
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.	23 ܡܛܠ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܪܫܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܪܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܗܘܝܘ ܡܚܝܢܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܀
24 As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.	24 ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܠܒܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܀
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,	25 ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܒܘ ܢܫܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܒ ܠܥܕܬܗ ܘܢܦܫܗ ܐܫܠܡ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܗ ܀
26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,	26 ܕܢܩܕܫܝܗ ܘܢܕܟܝܗ ܒܤܚܝܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܘܒܡܠܬܐ ܀
27 that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.	27 ܘܢܩܝܡܝܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܟܕ ܡܫܒܚܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܛܘܠܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܩܡܛܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܡ ܀
28 Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.	28 ܗܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܚܒܘܢ ܢܫܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܦܓܪܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܗܘ ܡܚܒ ܀
29 For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,	29 ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܤܢܐ ܦܓܪܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܬܪܤܐ ܠܗ ܘܝܨܦ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܥܕܬܗ ܀
30 because we are members of his body.	30 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܕܡܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܦܓܪܗ ܘܡܢ ܒܤܪܗ ܚܢܢ ܘܡܢ ܓܪܡܘܗܝ ܀
31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."	31 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܢܩܦ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܤܪ ܀
32 This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church;	32 ܗܢܐ ܐܪܙܐ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܕܬܗ ܀
33 however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.	33 ܒܪܡ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܪܚܡ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܢܦܫܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܕܚܠܐ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܗ ܀
