Ephesians 6
1 Children, do what is ordered by your fathers and mothers in the Lord: for this is right.
Mma, montie mo awofoɔ asɛm wɔ Awurade mu ɛfiri sɛ, saa na ɛyɛ.
2 Give honour to your father and mother (which is the first rule having a reward),
“Di wʼagya ne wo maame ni,” yei ne mmaransɛm a ɛdi ɛkan a bɔhyɛ ka ho,
3 So that all may be well for you, and your life may be long on the earth.
“na asi wo yie na wo nna nso aware asase yi so.”
4 And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.
Agyanom, monnhyɛ mo mma abufuo. Na mmom, montete wɔn wɔ Awurade nkyerɛkyerɛ mu.
5 Servants, do what is ordered by those who are your natural masters, having respect and fear for them, with all your heart, as to Christ;
Nkoa, momfa obuo ne ɔsuro mfiri akoma pa mu nyɛ ɔsetie mma mo honam fam wuranom, sɛdeɛ mobɛyɛ ɔsetie ama Kristo no ara.
6 Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart;
Monyɛ ɔsetie mma wɔn, ɛnyɛ sɛ mobɛsɔ wɔn ani wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔrehwɛ mo nko ara, na mmom, monyɛ sɛ Kristo nkoa a mofiri mo akoma mu reyɛ Onyankopɔn apɛdeɛ.
7 Doing your work readily, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Momfa mo akoma nyinaa nsom sɛdeɛ moresom Awurade a ɛnnyɛ nnipa,
8 In the knowledge that for every good thing anyone does, he will have his reward from the Lord, If he is a servant or if he is free.
ɛfiri sɛ monim sɛ adwuma pa biara a obi yɛ no, sɛ ɔyɛ ɔsomfoɔ anaa ɔde ne ho no, Awurade bɛtua no so ka.
9 And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.
Awuranom, saa ara na mo nso monyɛ mo asomfoɔ. Monnyae wɔn ahunahuna ɛfiri sɛ, mo ne mo asomfoɔ nyinaa wɔ wura baako a ɔwɔ ɔsoro; na ɔno deɛ ɔnhwɛ animu.
10 Lastly, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power.
Deɛ ɛtwa toɔ ne sɛ, monyɛ den wɔ ne ne tumi kɛseɛ no mu.
11 Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.
Monhyɛ Onyankopɔn akodeɛ nyinaa na moatumi agyina ɔbonsam nhyehyɛeɛ ano.
12 For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens. (aiōn g165)
Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnyɛ yɛne mogya ne honam na anya, na mmom, yɛne mpaninnie ne tumidie ne ewiase yi sum mu atumfoɔ ne ahonhommɔne a ɛwɔ soro hɔ na anya. (aiōn g165)
13 For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place.
Yei enti, monhyɛ Onyankopɔn akodeɛ nyinaa, na sɛ da bɔne no ba a, moatumi agyina, na mowie biribiara a, moagyina pintinn.
14 Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness;
Enti monnyina pintinn, na momfa nokorɛ mmɔ mo asene, na monhyɛ tenenee nkataboɔ,
15 Be ready with the good news of peace as shoes on your feet;
na momfa Asɛmpa no asomdwoeɛ no nhyehyɛ mo nan.
16 And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.
Yeinom nyinaa akyi no, momfa gyidie kyɛm, deɛ mode bɛdum ɔbɔnefoɔ bɛma a ɛrederɛ no.
17 And take salvation for your head-dress and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Momfa nkwagyeɛ dadeɛ kyɛ ne Honhom no akofena a ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm no.
18 With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,
Ɛberɛ nyinaa mu mommɔ mpaeɛ wɔ Honhom mu, mpaeɛbɔ ahodoɔ ne nkotosrɛ mu. Yei enti monna mo ho so, na mommɔ mpaeɛ mma ahotefoɔ.
19 And for me, that words may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make clear without fear the secret of the good news,
Mommɔ mpaeɛ mma me nso na sɛ mebue mʼano a, wɔama me asɛm aka, na matumi akasa akokoɔduru so ada Asɛmpa no mu ahintasɛm adi.
20 For which I am a representative in chains, and that I may say without fear the things which it is right for me to say.
Seesei meyɛ ho ɔnanmusini a meda mpokyerɛ mu. Ɛno enti, mommɔ mpaeɛ mma me na matumi de akokoɔduru apae mu aka no sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ sɛ meka no.
21 But so that you may have knowledge of my business, and how I am, Tychicus, the well-loved brother and tested servant in the Lord, will give you news of all things:
Yɛn nua ɔdɔfoɔ, Tihiko, a ɔyɛ Awurade adwumayɛ mu ɔsomfoɔ nokwafoɔ no bɛka biribiara akyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛhunu sɛdeɛ me ho teɛ ne dwuma a meredie.
22 Whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, so that you may have knowledge of our position, and that he may give comfort to your hearts.
Yei enti na meresoma no mo nkyɛn, ama moahunu sɛdeɛ yɛn ho teɛ na wahyɛ mo nkuran nso.
23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Asomdwoeɛ nka anuanom nyinaa, na Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo mma mo nokorɛ dɔ.
24 Grace be with all those who have true love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Onyankopɔn adom nka wɔn a wɔdɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo daa nyinaa no.
