5 — Efesini

1Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children:Siate adunque imitatori di Dio, come figliuoli benamati:BE ye therfore folovvers of God, as most deere children:Estote ergo imitatores Dei, sicut filii carissimi, 2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.E camminate nell'amore, conforme anche Cristo ha amato noi, e ha dato per noi se stesso a Dio oblazione, e ostia di soave odore.and walke in loue, as Christ also loued vs, and deliuered him self for vs an oblation and host to God in an odour of svvetenes.et ambulate in dilectione, sicut et Christus dilexit nos, et tradidit semetipsum pro nobis, oblationem et hostiam Deo in odorem suavitatis. 3But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:E non si senta neppur nominare tra voi fornicazione, o qualsisia impurità, o avarizia, come a' santi si conviene:But fornication and al vncleannes, or auarice, let it not so much as be named among you, as it becommeth sainctes:Fornicatio autem, et omnis immunditia, aut avaritia, nec nominetur in vobis, sicut decet sanctos: 4Or obscenity or foolish talking or scurrility, which is to no purpose: but rather giving of thanks.Né oscenità, né sciocchi discorsi, o buffonerie, che son cose indecenti; ma piuttosto il rendimento di grazie.or filthines, or foolish talke, or scurrilitie, being to no purpose: but rather giuing of thankes.aut turpitudo, aut stultiloquium, aut scurrilitas, quæ ad rem non pertinet: sed magis gratiarum actio. 5For know you this and understand: That no fornicator or unclean or covetous person (which is a serving of idols) hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.Imperocché voi siete intesi, come nissun fornicatore, o impudico, o avaro, che vuoi dire idolatra, sarà erede nel regno di Cristo, e di Dio.For vnderstanding knovv you this, that no fornicatour, or vncleane, or couetous person (vvhich is the seruice of Idols) hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.Hoc enim scitote intelligentes: quod omnis fornicator, aut immundus, aut avarus, quod est idolorum servitus, non habet hæreditatem in regno Christi et Dei. 6Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief.Niuno vi seduca con vane parole: imperocché per tali cose viene l'ira di Dio sopra i figliuoli contumaci.Let no man seduce you vvith vaine vvordes. For, for these things commeth the anger of God vpō the children of diffidence.Nemo vos seducat inanibus verbis: propter hæc enim venit ira Dei in filios diffidentiæ.

7Be ye not therefore partakers with them.Non vogliate adunque aver società con essi.Become not therfore partakers vvith them.Nolite ergo effici participes eorum. 8For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light.Conciossiachè una volta eravate tenebre: ma adesso luce nel Signore. Camminate da figliuoli della luce.For you vvere sometime darkenes, but novv light in our Lord. Vvalke as children of the light, (Eratis enim aliquando tenebræ: nunc autem lux in Domino. Ut filii lucis ambulate: 9For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth:Or il frutto della luce consiste in ogni specie di bontà, nella giustizia, e nella verità:for the fruite of the light is in al goodnes, and iustice, and veritie)fructus enim lucis est in omni bonitate, et justitia, et veritate: 10Proving what is well pleasing to God.Disaminando voi quello, che sia accetto al Signore:prouing vvhat is vvel pleasing to God:probantes quid sit beneplacitum Deo: 11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather reprove them.E non vogliate aver parte alle opere infruttuose delle tenebre, che anzi riprendetele.and communicate not vvith the vnfruitful vvorkes of darkenes, but rather reproue them.et nolite communicare operibus infructuosis tenebrarum, magis autem redarguite. 12For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.Imperocché le cose, che da coloro sì fanno di nascosto, sono obbrobriose anche a dirsi.For the things that are done of them in secrete, it is shame euen to speake.Quæ enim in occulto fiunt ab ipsis, turpe est et dicere. 13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for all that is made manifest is light.Ma tutte le cose, che sono da riprovarsi, son messe in chiaro dalla luce: dappoiché tutto quello che manifesta (le cose), è luce.But al things that are reproued; are manifested by the light. for al that is manifested, is light.Omnia autem, quæ arguuntur, a lumine manifestantur: omne enim, quod manifestatur, lumen est. 14Wherefore he saith: Rise, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.Per la qual cosa dice: levati su tu, che dormi, e risuscita da morte, e Cristo ti illuminerà.for the vvhich cause he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ vvil illuminate thee.Propter quod dicit: Surge qui dormis, et exsurge a mortuis, et illuminabit te Christus. 15See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as unwise,Badate adunque, o fratelli, di camminar cautamente: non da stolti.See therfore, brethren, how you vvalke vvarily. not as vnvvise, but as vvise:Videte itaque, fratres, quomodo caute ambuletis: non quasi insipientes, 16But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil.Ma da prudenti: ricomperando il tempo: perché i giorni sono cattivi.redeeming the time, because the daies are euil.sed ut sapientes: redimentes tempus, quoniam dies mali sunt.

17Wherefore, become not unwise: but understanding what is the will of God.Per questo non siate imprudenti: ma intelligenti dei voleri di Dio.Therfore become not vnvvise, but vnderstanding vvhat is the vvil of God.Propterea nolite fieri imprudentes, sed intelligentes quæ sit voluntas Dei. 18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury: but be ye filled with the Holy Spirit,E non vi ubbriacate col vino, nei quale è lussuria: ma siate ripieni di Spirito santo,And be not drunke vvith vvine vvherein is rioteousnes, but be filled vvith the Spirit,Et nolite inebriari vino, in quo est luxuria, sed implemini Spiritu Sancto, 19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord:Parlando tra di voi con salmi, e inni, e canzoni spirituali, cantando, e salmeggiando co' vostri cuori al Signore,speaking to your selues in psalmes & hymnes, and spiritual canticles, chaūting and singing in your hartes to our Lord:loquentes vobismetipsis in psalmis, et hymnis, et canticis spiritualibus, cantantes et psallentes in cordibus vestris Domino, 20Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father:Rendendo sempre grazie per ogni qualunque cosa a Dio, e Padre nel nome del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo.giuing thankes alvvaies for al things, in the name of our Lord IESVS Christ to God & the Father.gratias agentes semper pro omnibus in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Deo et Patri, 21Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.Subordinati gli uni agli altri nei timore di Cristo.Subiect one to an other in the feare of Christ.subjecti invicem in timore Christi. 22Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:Le donne siano soggette a' loro mariti, come al Signore:Let vvomen be subiect to their husbandes, as to our Lord:Mulieres viris suis subditæ sint, sicut Domino: 23Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.Conciossiachè l'uomo è capo della donna: come Cristo è capo della Chiesa: ed egli è Salvatore del corpo suo.because the man is the head of the woman: as Christ is the head of the CHVRCH. Him self, the sauiour of his body.quoniam vir caput est mulieris, sicut Christus caput est Ecclesiæ: ipse, salvator corporis ejus. 24Therefore as the church is subject to Christ: so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.Quindi siccome la Chiesa è soggetta a Cristo, così ancora le donne a' loro mariti in tutto.But as the CHVRCH is subiect to Christ, so also the vvomen to their husbands in al things.Sed sicut Ecclesia subjecta est Christo, ita et mulieres viris suis in omnibus.

25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and delivered himself up for it:Uomini amate le vostre mogli, come anche Cristo amò la Chiesa, e diede per lei se stesso,Husbands, loue your vviues, as Christ also loued the CHVRCH, and deliuered him self for it:Viri, diligite uxores vestras, sicut et Christus dilexit Ecclesiam, et seipsum tradidit pro ea, 26That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:Affine di santificarla, mondandola colla lavanda di acqua mediante la parola di vita,that he might sanctifie it, cleansing it by the lauer of vvater in the vvord,ut illam sanctificaret, mundans lavacro aquæ in verbo vitæ, 27That he might present it to himself, a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.Per farsi comparir davanti la Chiesa vestita di gloria, senza macchia, e senza grinza, od altra tal cosa, ma che sia santa, ed immacolata.that he might present to him self a glorious CHVRCH, not hauing spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it may be holy and vnspotted.ut exhiberet ipse sibi gloriosam Ecclesiam, non habentem maculam, aut rugam, aut aliquid hujusmodi, sed ut sit sancta et immaculata. 28So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.Così anche i mariti amar debbono le loro mogli, come i corpi proprj: Chi ama la propria moglie ama se stesso.So also men ought to loue their vviues as their ovvne bodies. He that loueth his vvife, loueth him self.Ita et viri debent diligere uxores suas ut corpora sua. Qui suam uxorem diligit, seipsum diligit. 29For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:Conciossiachè nissuno odiò mai la propria carne, ma la nudrisce, e ne tiene conto, come fa pur Cristo della Chiesa:For no man euer hated his ovvne flesh: but he nourisheth & cherisheth it, as also Christ the CHVRCH:Nemo enim umquam carnem suam odio habuit: sed nutrit et fovet eam, sicut et Christus Ecclesiam: 30Because we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.Perché siamo membra del corpo di lui, della carne di lui, e delle ossa di lui.because vve be the members of his body, of his flesh & of his bones.quia membra sumus corporis ejus, de carne ejus et de ossibus ejus. 31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother: and shall cleave to his wife. And they shall be two in one flesh.Per questo l'uomo abbandonerà il padre, e la madre sua, e starà muto alla sua moglie: e i due saranno una carne.For this cause shal mā leaue his father & mother: and shal cleane to his vvife, and they shal be tvvo in one flesh.Propter hoc relinquet homo patrem et matrem suam, et adhærebit uxori suæ, et erunt duo in carne una.

32This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the church.Questo sacramento è grande, io però parlo riguardo a Cristo, ed alla Chiesa.This is a great sacramēt. but I speake in Christ and in the CHVRCHSacramentum hoc magnum est, ego autem dico in Christo et in Ecclesia. 33Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: And let the wife fear her husband.Per la qual cosa anche ognun di voi ami la propria moglie, come se stesso: la moglie poi rispetti il marito.Neuertheles you also euery one, let eche loue his vvife as him self: and let the vvife feare her husband.Verumtamen et vos singuli, unusquisque uxorem suam sicut seipsum diligat: uxor autem timeat virum suum.
