Jo-Efeso 6
1 Nyithindo, winjuru jonywolu kuom Ruoth nikech timo kamano en gima kare.
Children, obey your parents in our Lord, for this is right; and this is the first commandment which promiseth.
2 Chik mokwongo man-gi singruok wacho niya, “Luor wuonu gi minu
Honour thy father and thy mother,
3 mondo ngimani odhi maber, kendo udag amingʼa e piny.”
that it may be well with thee, and thy life be prolonged upon the earth.
4 Wuone kik umi nyithindu bedo gi mirima; to ritgiuru maber, kurieyogi kendo upuonjogi kuom Ruoth.
Parents, make not your children angry, but make them to grow in the discipline and in the doctrine of our Lord.
5 Wasumbini, winjuru ruodhiu mondikou e piny-ka kumiyogi duongʼ gi luor, kendo kutiyo gi chuny ma thuolo, mana ka gima uwinjo Kristo.
Servants, be subject to your masters who are according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, and with simplicity of heart, as unto the Meshiha:
6 Kik uwinjgi mana mondo umor wangʼ-gi seche ma ginenou, to mana ka wasumb Kristo, timuru dwaro Nyasaye koa e chunyu.
not in the sight of the eyes, as if you were pleasing men (only), but as the servants of Meshiha who do the will of Aloha.
7 Tiuru gi chunyu duto, mana ka gima utiyo ni Ruoth, to ok ni dhano,
And serve them from all your soul, in love, as unto our Lord, and not as unto men;
8 nikech ungʼeyo ni Ruoth biro chulo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuom gimoro amora maber ma ngʼato timo, bed ni en misumba kata ngʼama ni thuolo.
knowing that whatever good a man doeth he is rewarded by our Lord, whether he be a servant or a son of freedom.
9 Un Ruodhi timneuru wasumbiniu machalre. Kik ubwog-gi, nikech ungʼeyo ni Ruoth motelonegi, kaachiel kodu ni e polo, kendo ok odew wangʼ ngʼato.
So you, masters, do likewise to your servants; forgiving them a fault; for you know also that your Master is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.
10 Mogik, beduru motegno kuom Ruoth, kendo kuom tekone maduongʼ.
HENCEFORTH, my brethren, be strong in our Lord, and in the power of his strength.
11 Manreuru gi gige lweny duto mag Nyasaye, mondo eka uchungʼ motegno kutangʼ ne wuond mar Jachien.
And clothe you in all the armour of Aloha, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the accuser.
12 Nikech wasigu mwakedogo ok gin dhano, to wakedo gi jotelo, kod ruodhi mag piny motimo mudhoni, kaachiel gi lang chuny maricho modak e kor polo. (aiōn g165)
For your wrestling is not with flesh and blood (only), but with princes, and with powers, and with the possessors of this dark world, and with the evil spirits who are under heaven. (aiōn g165)
13 Omiyo manreuru mogik gi gige lweny mag Nyasaye, mondo ka kinde mag richo ochopo to uyud teko mar chungʼ kar tiendu kendo kusetimo madwarore duto to mondo uchungʼ.
Wherefore clothe you with all the armour of Aloha, that you may be able to meet the evil one, and being prepared in every thing you may stand.
14 Emomiyo nyonuru piny motegno, kutweyo nungou gi kamba mar adiera, kendo kurwako tim makare ka gige lweny mag akor,
Stand, therefore, with your loins strengthened with the truth, and wear the breastplate of righteousness,
15 rwakreuru gi ikruok mar lando Injili makelo kwe kaka wuoche e tiendu.
and let your feet be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Ewi mago duto tingʼuru yie maru ka okumba mugengʼogo aserni makakni ka mach moa kuom ngʼat marach.
and with these take to you the shield of faith, that therewith you may be empowered with strength to extinguish all the burning shafts of that evil one;
17 Kawuru ogudu motegno mar warruok kod ligangla mar Roho ma en wach Nyasaye.
and put on the helmet of salvation, and take the sword of the Spirit which is the word of Aloha.
18 To lamuru kuom Roho kinde duto gi kit lamo duto, kendo ka ukwayo. Ka un gima e paro, to beduru mokichore kusiko ukwayo kinde duto ni jomaler duto.
And with all prayers, and with all supplications, pray at all times in the Spirit, and in that prayer be watchful in all seasons,
19 An bende lamnauru mondo sa moro amora ma ayawo dhoga to omiya weche mondo ayal gichir wach mopondo mar Injili,
praying constantly and invoking on behalf of all the saints; and for me also, that the word may be given me with openness of my mouth, that I may boldly proclaim the mystery of the gospel,
20 momiyo an jambetre motwe. Lamuru mondo awuo kuome gi chir kaka owinjore atim.
for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may speak with freedom, as it behoveth me to speak it.
21 Tukiko, ma en owadwa ma wageno kendo matiyo ni Ruoth gi adiera duto biro nyisou weche duto, kaka achal to gi gima atimo.
But that you may know also what relateth to me, and what I am doing, behold, Tykikos, a brother beloved, and a faithful minister of our Lord, will make known to you;
22 Aore iru mondo onyisu chalwa kendo mondo ojiw chunyu.
whom I have sent to you on account of this, that he may make you acquainted with what relateth to me, and may comfort your hearts.
23 Mad Nyasaye Wuoro kod Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo omi jowete duto man kuom Kristo kwe, gihera kod yie.
Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
24 Ngʼwono obed kod jogo duto mohero Ruoth Yesu Kristo gihera ma ok rum.
Grace be with all them who love our Lord Jeshu Meshiha incorruptibly. Amen.
