1Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,
1To pongah Sithaw mah palung ih caa ah na oh o baktih toengah, Sithaw hnukbang kami ah om oh;
2and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.
2Kri mah aicae ang palung moe, Sithaw khaeah hmuihoih ah oh hanah, angmah hoi angmah aicae angbawnhaih ah angpaek boeh, to pongah nangcae doeh amlunghaih hoiah khosah oh.
3But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed.
3Kaciim kami ah na oh o boeh pongah, zae sakhaih, ciimcai ai hmuen hoi kamthlai hmoek koehhaihnawk nangcae thungah oh han om ai boeh;
4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving.
4amhnonghaih, kamthu lok apaehhaih hoi tamhnui lok sakhaihnawk loe kamsoem hmuen na ai ni, to baktih hmuen sak pongah loe kawnhaih lok to thui o lat ah.
5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
5Nongpa nongpata zaehaih sah kami, ciimcai ai kami, kamthlai hmoek koeh kami, krang bok kaminawk loe Kri hoi Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae to toep o thai mak ai, tito na panoek o.
6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
6Mi kawbaktih mah doeh avang ai lok hoiah na ling o hmah nasoe: to baktih hmuen pongah ni lok tahngai ai kaminawk nuiah Sithaw palungphuihaih to phak.
7Therefore do not be partakers with them.
7To pongah nangcae loe nihcae hoi angkom o hmah.
8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
8Nangcae loe canghnii ah vinghaih thungah na oh o, toe vaihi loe Angraeng pongah aanghaih ah na oh o boeh: to pongah aanghaih caanawk baktiah khosah oh:
9for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.
9(hoihhaih, toenghaih hoi loktangnawk boih loe Muithla ih thingthai ah ni oh;)
10Test and prove what pleases the Lord.
10Angraeng mah talawk thai koi hmuen to pakrong oh.
11Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
11Athaih kaom ai kaving toksakhaih hoiah angkom o hmah, toe to baktih kaving toksakhaih to amtueng o sak ah.
12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
12Nihcae mah tamquta hoi sak o ih hmuennawk to lok hoi thuih han ih mataeng doeh azat thoh.
13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.
13Toe to tiah kamtueng hmuennawk loe kawbaktih hmuen maw, tito aanghaih mah ni amtuengsak: hmuennawk boih amtuengsakkung loe aanghaih hae ni.
14So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
14Anih mah, Aw iip kami nang anglawt laih, duekhaih thung hoi angthawk ah, to tih nahaeloe Kri mah aanghaih to na paek tih, tiah thuih.
15Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
15To pongah acoehaih hoiah khosah oh, kamthu baktiah om ai ah, palungha baktiah om oh,
16redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
16aninawk loe hoih ai boeh pongah, atue kahoih to paawt ah.
17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
17To pongah kamthu baktiah om o hmah, Angraeng koehhaih panoek kami ah om oh.
18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
18Mu paqui o hmah, to tiah ohhaih mah sethaih to tacawtsak, to pongah Muithla hoi koi oh;
19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord,
19maeto hoi maeto Saam laa, pakoehhaih laa hoi Muithla laa to sah oh, palung thung hoi Angraeng khaeah laa to sah oh;
20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
20hmuen boih ah aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri ih ahmin hoiah Pa Sithaw khaeah anghoehaih lawkthui o toepsoep ah;
21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
21Sithaw zithaih hoiah maeto hoi maeto tlim ah khosah oh.
22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
22Zunawk, Angraeng khaeah nang paek o baktih toengah, na savanawk khaeah angpaek oh.
23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.
23Kri loe kricaabu lu ah oh baktih toengah, sava loe zu ih lu ah oh: Anih loe takpum pahlongkung ah oh.
24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
24Kricaabu mah Kri khaeah angpaek baktih toengah, zunawk mah doeh hmuen boih ah angmacae sava khaeah angpaek o nasoe.
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her
25Kri mah kricaabu palung moe, hinghaih paek baktih toengah, savanawk, na zu to palung oh;
26to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
26Anih mah kricaabu to tui hoiah pasae ueloe, lok hoiah ciimsak tih,
27and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
27coek koi kaom ai, nganhin angcu ai, to tiah coek han koi tidoeh kaom ai, lensawk kricaabu maeto ah angmah khaeah paek thai hanah, coek koi kaom ai, ciimcai kricabu ah oh han angaih.
28In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
28To pongah nongpanawk mah a zunawk to angmacae ih takpum baktih toengah palung han oh. Azu palung kami loe angmah hoi angmah amlung kami ah oh.
29Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
29Mi kawbaktih mah doeh angmah ih takpum to hnuma vai ai; Angraeng mah kricaabu khetzawn baktih toengah ni, a takpum to pacah moe, a khetzawn.
30For we are members of His body.
30Aicae loe angmah ih takpum, angan, ahuh thungah kathum kami ah ni a oh o.
31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
31Hae pongah nongpa mah amno hoi ampa to caehtaak ueloe, a zu hoi nawnto om tih, to naah nihnik loe takpum maeto ah ni om hoi tih boeh.
32This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church.
32Hae loe kalen loktamqu ah oh: toe kai loe, Kri hoi kricaabu kawng ni ka thuih.
33Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
33Toe nangmacae takpum na palung o baktih toengah, na zunawk to palung o toeng ah; zu mah doeh sava to khingya han oh.
