< Ephisa 6 >
1 Ca rhoek, Boeipa ah na manu na napa te olngai pah. He tah a ol dueng ni.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 Na nu neh na pa te hinyah lah. Te tah olkhueh neh olpaek lamhma la om.
“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:
3 Te daengah ni nang taengah a then la ha om vetih diklai ah hingsennah na dang eh.
“that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”
4 Pa rhoek long khaw na ca rhoek te a thintoek sak boeh tedae amih te Boeipa kah hlinsainah neh rhalrhingnah dongah cuncah uh.
You fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 Sal rhoek, pumsa kah na boei rhoek taengah rhihnah neh olngai uh. Na thinko moeihoeihnah neh thuennah neh Khrih taengkah bangla om uh.
Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ,
6 Mikhmuh dongkah kolopatai rhoek banglam pawt tih hinglu lamloh Pathen kah kongaih aka saii Khrih kah sal rhoek la om uh.
not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
7 Hlang taengah pawt tih boeipa taengkah bangla lunghoihnah neh salbi uh.
with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 A then khat khat a saii te rhip ming saeh. Sal long khaw, aka loeih long khaw Boeipa taeng lamloh amah la a dang bitni.
knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
9 Boei rhoek nang khaw amah te te amih taengah saii uh. Amih na hihhamnah te hlawt laeh. Amih rhoek neh nangmih kah boeipa tah vaan ah om tih a taengah maelhmai sawtnah khueh pawh tite ming uh.
You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
10 A tloihsoi ah boeipa neh a thadueng kah thaomnah dongah thaphoh uh.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
11 Rhaithae kah a lungpoek te na mah thai ham atah Pathen kah lungpok haica te bai uh.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 Thii neh pumsa kah hnueihnah te mamih taengah a om moenih. Tedae boeilu rhoek, saithainah, he yinnah khuikah diklai thaomnah, vaan ah halangnah mueihla ni m'pai thil uh. (aiōn )
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Te dongah Pathen kah lungpok haica te muk uh tangloeng laeh. Te daengah ni khohnin thae vaengah khaw na tungaep thai vetih aka thoeng boeih te na pai thil thai eh.
Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Pai uh lamtah oltak neh na pumpu te yen uh. Te phoeiah duengnah rhangpho te bai uh.
Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 Rhoepnah olthangthen dongkah sikimnah neh na kho te khom uh.
and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,
16 Te phoeiah tangnah photling te muk uh. Te nen ni rhaithae kah thaltang a rhoh te boeih na thih uh thai eh.
above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
17 Te phoeiah khangnah lumuek neh mueihla cunghang te doe thil uh. Te tah Pathen kah olthui ni.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 Thangthuinah cungkuem neh rhenbihnah dongah a tue takuem ah Mueihla neh thangthui uh. He ham he khuituknah cungkuem nen khaw, hlangcim boeih ham rhenbihnah nen khaw hak uh.
with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints.
19 Kai ham khaw thangthui uh. Te daengah ni ka ka ongnah neh kai taengah olka m'paek vetih olthangthen kah olhuep te sayalh la ka phong thai eh.
Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
20 Te yueng la thirhui neh ka laipai. Te daengah ni a khuiah ka thui a kuek te tah ka sayalh van eh.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 Te daengah ni kai kawng he na ming uh van pueng eh. Ka saii boeih te thintlo manuca neh Boeipa dongah uepom tueihyoeih Tukhiko loh nangmih taengla ham phoe puei bitni.
But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things.
22 Amah te ham ni nangmih taengla anih kan tueih. Te daengah ni kaimih kawng te na ming vetih nangmih kah thinko te han hloep eh.
I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamkah rhoepnah, tangnah neh lungnah tah manuca rhoek taengah om saeh.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Lungvatnah tah mamih kah boeipa Jesuh Khrih te a cak la aka lungnah rhoek boeih soah om saeh.
Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.
