Ephisus 6
1 Tate awng, Topa sung ah na nu le na pa te uh thu ni vun: banghangziam cile hisia sia a man a hihi.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 Na nu le na pa zakta in; hi thu sia kamciam taw a masabel thupiak a hihi;
"Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise:
3 Tabang in nang atu in pha tu hi, taciang leitung ah na khansau tu hi.
"that it may be well with you, and that you may live long in the land."
4 Taciang, no pa te awng, na tate uh thinsosak heak vun; ahihang Topa kepna le hil nate bang in khangtosak tavun.
And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 Sila te awng, cilesa ngeina sung ah na to te thu sia lau le ling kawm in ahizong, thinsung takpi taw ahizong, Christ thu na nit uh bang in ni vun;
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 Amate mu na ah mihing lungkimsak te bangbek hi ngawl in; Christ i sila te bang in, Pathian deina sia na thinsung uh pan seam tavun;
not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as people-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 Na nasep uh ciang in mihing te atu seam bang hi ngawl in, Topa atu seam bang in, deisakna pha taw seam tavun:
with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to people;
8 Sila ahizong, a suakta ahizong, akuamapo na pha a vawt theampo atu in Topa tung pan sangkik tu hi, ci sia he tavun.
knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
9 Taciang, no to te awng, tabang ma in na sila te tung ah vawt vun, lauthawn heak vun a: note zong van ah Topa na nei uh hi; Ama in kuama doidan nei ngawl hi.
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 Akhakbel in, ka suapui te awng, Topa le a hitheina vangletna sung ah hattak in om vun.
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
11 Doaimangpa ngitlo theamna te langpan in na din zawk natu uh, Pathian ngalhiam theampo sil vun.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
12 Banghangziam cile cilesa le thisan langpan in i do bua hi, ahihang thuneina te, vangletna te, hileitung khuazing a uk te, tungsang i a man ngawl thaa te i do hi. (aiōn g165)
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world's rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (aiōn g165)
13 Tua ahiciang a pha ngawl ni te sung ah na nalh zawk natu uh in le na theampo na vawt zawk uh ciang na din zawk thei natu uh in, Pathian ngalhiam theampo la vun.
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 Tua ahikom thuman kawngkhau kil vun a, thutang suana awmdal bel vun;
Stand therefore, having the belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 Taciang kilemna lungdamna thupha hil tu kingin na peangdap bul vun;
and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;
16 Na theampo i tung ah, upna lum toai vun, taciang a pha ngawl pa i thal mei-kuang theampo dal in na mit thei tu uh hi.
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 Ngupna lukhu khu vun, taciang Pathian thu Thaa namsau toai vun:
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word of God;
18 Thaa sung ah note i kisapna le thungetna theampo taw tatsat ngawl in thungen vun, taciang mithiangtho theampo atu in hanciam in thungetna taw ngak vun;
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 Taciang keima zong lungdamna thuku hesak tu in hangsantak in ka kam ka kat thei natu ahizong, ka hil tu thu hongpiak thei natu ahizong,
on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
20 Tua lungdamna thupha atu in keima sia tongciin ka hi thei natu in, hencip na zong ka thuak hi: tua sung ah ka son tu a kilawm thu hangsantak in ka son thei natu in thu hong ngetsak tavun.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 Ahizong Topa sung ah a muanhuai naseam le ka it suapui pa Tychicus in, keima thu le la theampo hong hesak tu hi:
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 Ama sia ka thu le la te hong hesak tu le, na thinsung uh he nanepna na nga thei natu, tupna taw note kung ah kong paisak a hihi.
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Suapui te tung ah, Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ tung pan thinnopna le itna sia upna taw hong om tahen.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 I Topa Jesus Christ sia citakna taw a it te theampo tung ah thuthiamna hong om tahen. Amen.
Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
