Ephesians 5 (BOKCV)
1 Kwa hiyo, mfuateni Mungu kama watoto wapendwao, 2 mkiishi maisha ya upendo, kama vile Kristo alivyotupenda sisi akajitoa kwa ajili yetu kuwa sadaka yenye harufu nzuri na dhabihu kwa Mungu. 3 Lakini uasherati, usitajwe miongoni mwenu, wala uchafu wa aina yoyote, wala tamaa, kwa sababu mambo haya hayastahili miongoni mwa watakatifu. 4 Wala pasiwepo mazungumzo machafu ya aibu, au maneno ya upuzi au mzaha, ambayo hayafai, badala yake mshukuruni Mungu. 5 Kwa habari ya mambo haya mjue hakika kwamba: Msherati, wala mtu mwovu, wala mwenye tamaa mbaya, mtu kama huyo ni mwabudu sanamu, kamwe hataurithi Ufalme wa Kristo na wa Mungu. 6 Mtu yeyote na asiwadanganye kwa maneno matupu, kwa kuwa hasira ya Mungu huwaka kwa sababu ya mambo kama haya juu ya wale wasiomtii. 7 Kwa hiyo, msishirikiane nao. 8 Kwa maana zamani ninyi mlikuwa giza, lakini sasa ninyi ni nuru katika Bwana. Enendeni kama watoto wa nuru 9 (kwa kuwa tunda la nuru hupatikana katika wema wote, haki na kweli), 10 nanyi tafuteni yale yanayompendeza Bwana. 11 Msishiriki matendo ya giza yasiyofaa, bali yafichueni. 12 Kwa maana ni aibu hata kutaja mambo yale ambayo wasiotii wanayafanya sirini. 13 Lakini kila kitu kilichowekwa nuruni, huonekana, 14 kwa kuwa nuru ndiyo hufanya kila kitu kionekane. Hii ndiyo sababu imesemekana:“Amka, wewe uliyelala,ufufuke kutoka kwa wafu,naye Kristo atakuangazia.” 15 Kwa hiyo angalieni sana jinsi mnavyoenenda, si kama watu wasio na hekima, bali kama wenye hekima, 16 mkiukomboa wakati, kwa sababu nyakati hizi ni za uovu. 17 Kwa hiyo msiwe wajinga, bali mpate kujua nini mapenzi ya Bwana. 18 Pia msilewe kwa mvinyo, ambamo ndani yake mna upotovu, bali mjazwe Roho. 19 Msemezane ninyi kwa ninyi kwa zaburi, nyimbo na tenzi za rohoni, mkimwimbia na kumsifu Bwana mioyoni mwenu, 20 siku zote mkimshukuru Mungu Baba kwa kila jambo katika Jina la Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo. 21 Nyenyekeaneni ninyi kwa ninyi kwa heshima kwa ajili ya Kristo. 22 Ninyi wake, watiini waume zenu kama kumtii Bwana. 23 Kwa maana mume ni kichwa cha mkewe kama vile Kristo alivyo kichwa cha Kanisa, ambalo ni mwili wake, naye Kristo ni Mwokozi wake. 24 Basi, kama vile Kanisa linavyomtii Kristo, vivyo hivyo na wake nao imewapasa kuwatii waume zao kwa kila jambo. 25 Ninyi waume, wapendeni wake zenu, kama vile Kristo alivyolipenda Kanisa akajitoa kwa ajili yake 26 kusudi alifanye takatifu, akilitakasa kwa kuliosha kwa maji katika Neno lake, 27 apate kujiletea Kanisa tukufu lisilo na doa wala kunyanzi au waa lolote, bali takatifu na lisilo na hatia. 28 Vivyo hivyo imewapasa waume kuwapenda wake zao kama miili yao wenyewe. Ampendaye mkewe hujipenda mwenyewe. 29 Hakuna mtu anayeuchukia mwili wake mwenyewe, bali huulisha na kuutunza vizuri, kama Kristo anavyolitunza Kanisa lake. 30 Sisi tu viungo vya mwili wake. 31 “Kwa sababu hii, mwanaume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake, naye ataambatana na mkewe, na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja.” 32 Siri hii ni kubwa, bali mimi nanena kuhusu Kristo na Kanisa. 33 Hata hivyo, kila mmoja wenu ampende mkewe kama anavyoipenda nafsi yake mwenyewe, naye mke lazima amheshimu mumewe.
