Ephesians 6

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Bana, utlwang batsadi ba lona; se ke selo se se siameng go dirwa gonne Modimo o ba neile taolo ya go lo laola.

2 Honor thy father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise,

Tlotla rrago le mmaago. O ke molao wa ntlha wa Modimo wa melao o o felelang ka tsholofetso.

3 so that it may become well with thee, and thou will be long lasting on the earth.

Mme tsholofetso ke e: Gore fa o tlotla rrago le mmago; o tlaa nna le botshelo jo bo leele, jo bo tletseng masego.

4 And ye fathers, do not exasperate your children, but rear them in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Mme jaanong ke raya batsadi ba bana ke re: Se ntse lo kgadiepetsa bana ba lona lo ba omanyetsa ruri, lo ba galefisa lo ba kgopisa. Go na le go dira jalo, ba godiseng ka go ba tshola ka lorato lo Morena a lo dumelang, lo ba gakolola ka poifo Modimo.

5 Bondmen, be obedient to the masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ.

Batlhanka, ikobeleng beng ba lona; tlhwaafalelang go ba direla ka bonatla jotlhe jwa lona. Ba direleng fela jaaka lo ne lo ka direla Keresete.

6 Not according to eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul,

Se direng thata fela fa Mongwa lona a lo lebeletse mme lwa nnela go tshameka fa a sa lo lebelela; dirang thata ka boitumelo nako yotlhe, jaaka lo ka bo lo direla Keresete, lo dira go rata ga Modimo ka dipelo tsa lona tsotlhe.

7 bond-serving with goodwill, as to the Lord and not to men.

8 Knowing that whatever good thing each may do, he will receive this from the Lord, whether bondman or freeman.

Gakologelwang gore, Morena o tlaa lo duelela go dira sengwe le sengwe se se molemo, a lo ka bo lo le batlhanka kgotsa lo se bone.

9 And ye masters, do the same things to them, easing up the threats, knowing also that the master of you yourselves is in the heavens, and there is no partiality from him.

Mme le lona beng ba batlhanka lo tshwanetse go tshwara batlhanka ba lona sentle, fela jaaka ke ba reile ka re ba lo ikobele. Se ntse lo ba bopela; gakologelwang gore lona ka bo lona lo batlhanka mo go Keresete; lo na le Morena yo ba nang nae, mme ga a rate bape go gaisa ba bangwe.

10 Finally my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

Lwa bofelo, ke batla go lo gakolola gore nonofo ya lona e tshwanetse go tswa mo nonofong e kgolo ya Morena e e mo go lona.

11 Put on the full armor of God to enable you to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Aparang diaparo tsa phemelo tsotlhe tsa Modimo gore lo tle lo kgone go iphemela mo maanong otlhe le boferefere jwa ga Satane.

12 Because our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principal offices, against the positions of authority, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual things of wickedness in the heavenly things. (aiōn g165)

Gonne ga re lwe le batho ba ba dirilweng ka nama le madi, mme re lwa le batho ba ba senang mebele, babusi ba ba bosula ba lefatshe le le sa bonweng ka matlho, dibopiwa tse di nonofileng tsa bo-Satane le magosana a magolo a a bosula a lefifi a a busang lefatshe leno, le mewa e mentsi e e bosula mo lefatsheng le le sa itsegeng. (aiōn g165)

13 Because of this take ye up the full armor of God, so that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Jalo dirisang sengwe le sengwe sa seaparo sa Modimo sa phemelo go tlhabantsha mmaba fa a tlhasela, mme fa ntwa e sena go fela, lo tlaa bo lo santse lo eme.

14 Stand ye therefore having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

Mme go dira jaana, lo tlaa tlhoka moitlamo wa lotheka o o thata wa boammaaruri le thebe ya sehuba ya tumelo ya Modimo.

15 and having shod your feet in preparation of the good news of peace.

Rwalang ditlhako tse di tlaa dirang gore lo dire ka bofefo fa lo rera Mafoko a a Molemo a kagiso le Modimo.

16 Above all having taken up the shield of faith, by which ye will be able to quench all the fiery darts of evil.

Mo ntweng nngwe le nngwe lo tlaa tlhoka tumelo go nna thebe ya lona go kganela metswi e e bogale e lo e lebagantsweng ke Satane.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

Gape lo tlaa tlhoka tlhoro ya phemelo ya poloko le chaka ya Mowa e e leng Lefoko la Modimo.

18 praying through every prayer and entreaty at every time in spirit, and being alert in this same thing in all perseverance and entreaty for all the sanctified,

Rapelang ka metlha yotlhe. Kopang Modimo sengwe fela ka fa dikeletsong tsa Mowa O O Boitshepo. O kopeng, lo o gakolola ka se lo se tlhokang, mme lo bo lo nne lo rapelele Bakeresete botlhe gongwe le gongwe ka tlhwaafalo.

19 and for me, so that utterance may be given to me in boldness in opening my mouth to make known the mystery of the good news,

Nthapelelang le nna, lo bo lo kope Modimo go nnaya mafoko a a ntshwanetseng fa ke bolelela ba bangwe ka bopelokgale kaga Morena, le fa ke ba tlhalosetsa, gore poloko ya gagwe ke ya rona le Badichaba.

20 for which I am an ambassador in bondage, so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Jaanong ke golegilwe ka ntlha ya go rera molaetsa o o tswang kwa Modimong. Mme rapelang gore ke tle ke nne ke tswelele go o buelela ka bopelokgale le mo kgolegelong, jaaka ke tshwanetse.

21 But that ye also may know the things concerning me, what I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful helper in the Lord, will make known all things to you.

Tukiko, yo e leng mokaulengwe yo a rategang thata a bile a le mothusi yo o ikanyegang mo tirong ya Morena, o tlaa lo bolelela gotlhe mabapi le ka fa ke tswelelang ka teng.

22 Whom I sent to you for this same thing, so that ye might know the things about us, and that he might encourage your hearts.

Ke mo roma kwa go lona ka maikaelelo a, go lo itsise ka fa re tsogileng ka teng le gore lo bo lo kgothadiwe ke molaetsa o a o lo leretseng.

23 Peace to the brothers, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Modimo o lo neye kagiso, bakaulengwe ba me mo go Keresete, le lorato ka tumelo e e tswang kwa go Modimo Rara le Morena Jesu Keresete.

24 The grace is with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptibility. Truly.

A tshegofatso le masego a Modimo a nne le botlhe ba ba ratang Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete ka boammaaruri.
