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 yoʋr 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 yoʋ and yoʋ 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.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the training and admonition 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 omuh.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
6 Mikhmuh dongkah kolopatai rhoek banglam pawt tih hinglu lamloh Pathen kah kongaih aka saii Khrih kah sal rhoek la omuh.
Do not try to please them only when they are watching you, but act like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
7 Hlang taengah pawt tih boeipa taengkah bangla lunghoihnah neh salbi uh.
Serve with a good attitude, as serving the Lord and not 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 anyone does he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
9 Boei rhoek nang khaw amah te te amih taengah saii uh. Amih na hihamnah te hlawt laeh. Amih rhoek neh nangmih kah boeipa tah vaan ah om tih a taengah maelhmai sawtnah khueh pawh tite ming uh.
Masters, do the same for your slaves and stop threatening them, because you know that your own Master is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
10 A tloihsoi ah boeipa neh a thadueng kah thaomnah dongah thaphoh uh.
Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
11 Rhaithae kah a lungpoek te na mah thai ham atah Pathen kah lungpok haica te bai uh.
Put on the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes 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 g165)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (aiōn g165)
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 take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to resist the enemy on the day of evil, and after you have done everything, to stand firm.
14 Pai uh lamtah oltak neh na pumpu te yen uh. Te phoeiah duengnah rhangpho te bai uh.
Stand firm therefore by fastening the belt of truth around your waist, putting on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 Rhoepnah olthangthen dongkah sikimnah neh na kho te khom uh.
and shodding your feet with the readiness of the gospel 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, take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Te phoeiah khangnah lumuek neh mueihla cunghang te doe thiluh. Te tah Pathen kah olthui ni.
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.
Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every prayer and supplication, and to this end, stay alert and be persistent in praying for all the saints.
19 Kai ham khaw thangthuiuh. Te daengah ni ka ka ongnah neh kai taengah olka m'paek vetih olthangthen kah olhuep te sayalh la ka phong thai eh.
Pray also for me, so that when I open my mouth to speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
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. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I should.
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.
Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will give you a full report about how I am doing so that you may be informed.
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 how we are doing and that he may encourage your hearts.
23 Pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamkah rhoepnah, tangnah neh lungnah tah manuca rhoek taengah om saeh.
Peace be with 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 who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. Amen.
