| 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 ܀ |
