Efisa 6
1 Canaw: Bawipa ngainae patetlah nupanaw e lawk hah ngâi awh. Hot teh kamsoum e doeh.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 Manu hoi na pa hah bari awh. Hotteh apasuek e kâpoelawk hoi lawkkam lah ao.
“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
3 Hottelah na sak pawiteh, nang teh talai van hringsawnae hoi hawinae na coe han tie lawkkam teh apasuek poung e lawkkam e kâlawk lah ao.
“that it may go well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
4 Panaw, canaw hah a lungphuen sak awh hanh. Bawipa e cangkhainae patetlah cingthui awh nateh kawkhik awh.
And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of Sovereign.
5 Sannaw, Khrih e lawk na ngâi awh e patetlah talai bawinaw e lawk hai taki nalaihoi lunghringnae tawn laipalah ngâi awh.
Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
6 Mithmu dueng taminaw e lung karoumsak e lah awm laipalah, Khrih e san patetlah Cathut ngainae hah lungtho nalaihoi tarawi awh.
not only when being watched, to please men, but as slaves of the Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 Tami e san lah kaawm e patetlah dueng pouk laipalah, Bawipa e a san lah kaawm e patetlah bari nalaihoi a san lah awm awh.
serving with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men,
8 Kahawi e hno ka sak e tami teh san nakunghai, tami kahlout nakunghai, Bawipa koehoi a tawk e patetlah bout hmu han tie hah panuek awh.
knowing that whatever good each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is slave or free.
9 Bawinaw, namamae sannaw koe hot patetvanlah sak awh. Nangmae Bawipa teh kalvan ao tie hoi ahni teh apie minhmai hai khen hoeh tie hah panuek awh.
And masters, be the same way towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.
10 A hnuktengpoung lah ka hmaunawnghanaw, Bawipa lahoi thoseh, thaonae bahu lahoi thoseh, kacaklah awm awh.
Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
11 Kahraimathout e dumyennae na ngang thai awh nahan, Cathut ni na pathoup pouh e puengcang hoi kamthoup awh.
Put on the full armor of God so as to be able to stand firm against the stratagems of the devil.
12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, takthai hoi kaawm e taran hoi kâthe awh hoeh. Uknaenaw, kâtawnnaenaw, talai hmonae ka ukkungnaw, kalvanlae muitha kathoutnaw hoi doeh kâthe awh. (aiōn g165)
Because, our wrestling match is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the malignant spirits in the heavenly realms. (aiōn g165)
13 Hatdawkvah, atueng kamathout e hnin dawk kacaklah na kangdue thai nahan, thaw na cum teh na ngang thai awh nahan, Cathut e puengcang kakuep e hah sin awh.
That is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, to stand firm, with everything in place.
14 Lawkkatang taisawm kâyeng awh. Lannae saiphei hah kho awh.
So stand firm, having belted your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 Lungmawngnae kamthang kahawi pâpho nahanlah khokkhawm hah khawm awh.
and having shod your feet with the readiness of the Gospel of the peace;
16 Kahrai ni na ka e hmaisene hah na ngang thai awh nahan yuemnae bahling hah senehmaicanaw e a van vah patuem sin awh.
above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the malignant one;
17 Rungngangnae sumluhuem hah huem awh nateh, Cathut e lawk Muitha tahloi hai patuem awh.
also, grasp the helmet of the salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's Word spoken;
18 Pout laipalah ratoumnae a phunphun lahoi ratoum awh. Hottelah na ratoum awh navah nâtuek hai na thathout awh hanh. Na lungpout awh hanh. Kai hane hoi tami kathoungnaw hane hai ratoum awh nateh khenyawn awh.
praying at all times in the Spirit, using every prayer and petition, yes being watchful to this end with all perseverance and petition for all the saints
19 Hete kamthang kahawi e laicei lah ka o dawk doeh sumbawtarui hoi na katek awh. Hote kamthang kahawi hah lungtang nalaihoi ka dei thai nahan,
—on my behalf too, that when I open my mouth utterance may be given to me with boldness, to make known the mystery of the Gospel,
20 kamthang kahawi hrolawk hateh pâpho hane roeroe lah ao dawkvah taranhawi nalaihoi ka pâpho thai nahan kai hane hai ratoum awh.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to do.
21 Kai dawk ka tho e hnonaw hoi ka sak e hnonaw hah na panue thai awh nahan, Bawipa koe yuemkamcu lah thaw ka tawk e ka pahren e ka nawngha Taisikas ni abuemlahoi nangmouh koe a pâpho han doeh.
Now that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything;
22 Nangmouh ni kaimae kamthangnaw hah na panue awh nahan, ahni ni nangmouh lung na pahawi nahanlah ahni hah nangmouh koe ka patoun e doeh.
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose: that you may know our circumstances and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Hmaunawnghanaw nangmouh koe lungmawngnae awm lawiseh. Pa Cathut hoi Bawipa Jisuh Khrih ni na poe e yuemnae hoi lungpatawnae teh nangmouh koe awm lawiseh.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
24 Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih lungpataw katangnaw koe a lungmanae awm lawiseh. Amen.
The grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. Amen.
