Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Hnasen he aw, nami nupaa mtheh nami ngjak vai cun khritjan mtaa kya lü akcanga nami pawh vai kunga kyaki.
2 “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),
“Na nu ja na pa jah leisawnga” ti hin akcüka ngthupeta kya lü khyütam pi ngpüiki:
3 “that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”
“Acunüng, nang cun akdawa citcawn lü na venak mdeka na sak pi saü khai ni.”
4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Nupae, nami cae ami mlung a sonak vaia käh jah pawh ua. Acuna hnün üng Khritjan thumning am jah mthehmkhyah lü jah jäksawn ua.
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
Mpyae aw, Khritawa khut nami bikia kba mlungkyawng ngcim am bi lü nami nghngicim mahpaea pyen cän kyühkyawknak am jah kcang na u.
6 And do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
A ning jah mküiei vaia a ning jah hmuh däk üng käh pawh lü Khritawa mpyaa kba Pamhnam naw i hlükaweiki ti cun mlungkyawng kcang am pawh ua.
7 Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men,
Mpya khut nami pawh üng nghngicima khut pawhkia kba am kya lü Bawipa khut pawhkia kba jekyai lü khüia.
8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
Mpya pi ni se, mpya am niki pi ni se, akdaw ni bilawh cun mat cima khana Bawipa naw jah thung be khai ti cun süma.
9 And masters, do the same for your slaves. Give up your use of threats, because you know that He who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.
Mahpae, nami mpyae nami jah mkyühmcik cän hawih lü akdawa ngneisak ua. Khyang naküt angteha ngthu jah mkhyah khai khankhawa ka Bawipa naw ning jah kanaki ti cun süm ua.
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
Akpäihnaka dämduhkia a johit cun Bawipaa dä yümmatnak am nami johit ngjuktha yahnak vaia bilo ua.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes.
Khawyaia mhleimhlaknake nami jah sungkham khawh vaia Pamhnam naw a ning jah peta likcim cun jah bilo ua.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (aiōn g165)
Mimi cun naw khyang üng mi ngtuatki am ni, anghmüp k'uma veki Ngmüimkhya ksea johite, anae, jah upkie ja khankhawa veki johite cun mi jah ngtukah püikie ni. (aiōn g165)
13 Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.
Pamhnama likcime cun atuh jah suiawi u! Khawmhnüp kse a pha law üng yea a ning tukahnak cun na sungkham khawh khai, acun üngva na nglehei cäm lü apäihnak vei cäpa na ngtu khawh khai.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed,
Ngthungtak cun khapata kba na kcawi khit lü ngsungpyunnak am na ngkyang khüm lü ngsüngcei lü ngdüia,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace.
Dimyenaka thangkdaw cän sang khaia yüconaka khawdawk cän ngcum ua.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Khawyaia kah däikia thee cän na jah hnimnak khawh vaia jumeinaka ksawi cän akcün tä se kawt ua.
17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Küikyannaka mthi lukhum ja Ngmüimkhya naw a ning jah peta Pamhnama ngthu cän kcimsaüa kba jah taei ua.
18 Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.
Avan cun ktaiyünak am pawh u lü Pamhnama kpüinak pi kthähei ua. Ngmüimkhya naw lam a ning jah msüma kba akcün tä ktaiyü ua. Ahina phäha mcei lü käh ngdüm lü Pamhnama khyangea phäh angläta ktaiyü ua.
19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,
Keia phäh pi ktaiyü u bä, Pamhnam naw a na peta ngthu cun ling lü pyen lü ngthupkia thangkdaw cun ka jah ksingsak vaia phäh ni.
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.
Thawng k'uma atuh ve üngpi ahina thangkdawa phäh kei cun ngsäa ka kyaki. Thangkdaw cun ka pyen kung vaia kba ling lü ka pyen vaia ktaiyü ua.
21 Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know about me and what I am doing.
Ihawkba ka veki ti cun nami ksing vaia Bawipaa khut pawhnak am sitihki mpya, mi mhlänaka mi bena Taikikah naw ka mawng ning jah mtheh khai.
22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.
Nangmi ngjuktha ning jah pe lü ihawkba kami vekie ti cun ning jah mtheh khaia ani ka tüih law ni.
23 Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Pa Pamhnam ja Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw naw khritjanea dimdeihnak ja jumnak am mhläkphyanak ning jah pe se.
24 Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
Am thi theikia mhläkphyanak am Bawi Jesuh Khritaw kphyanakiea veia Pamhnama bäkhäknak ve se.
