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 promise),
3 Te daengah ni nang taengah a then la ha om vetih diklai ah hingsennah na dang eh.
“so 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.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger. Instead, raise 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 omuh.
Slaves, be obedient to your human masters with deep respect and trembling, in the honesty of your heart. Be obedient to them as you would be obedient to Christ.
6 Mikhmuh dongkah kolopatai rhoek banglam pawt tih hinglu lamloh Pathen kah kongaih aka saii Khrih kah sal rhoek la omuh.
Be obedient not only when your masters are watching in order to please them. Instead, be obedient as slaves of Christ, who do the will of God from your heart.
7 Hlang taengah pawt tih boeipa taengkah bangla lunghoihnah neh salbi uh.
Serve with all your heart, as though you were serving the Lord and not people,
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.
because we know that for whatever good deed each person does, he will receive a reward from the Lord, whether he is 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, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them. You know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism 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, so that you may be able to stand against the scheming plans 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 our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers over this present darkness, 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 put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand in this time 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, therefore, after you have put on the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness.
15 Rhoepnah olthangthen dongkah sikimnah neh na kho te khom uh.
Then as shoes for your feet, put on the readiness to proclaim 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.
In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, by which you will be able to put out 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.
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 every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit. To this end, always be watching with all perseverance, as you offer prayers 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.
And pray for me, that a message might be given to me when I open my mouth. Pray that I might make known with boldness the hidden truth about 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.
It is for the gospel that I am an ambassador who is kept in chains, so that I may declare it 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.
Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you may know how I am doing.
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, so that you may know how we are, and so 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 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 to all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an incorruptible love.
