Ephesians 6

1 Children, obey your parents in [the] Lord, for this is just.

١ أَيُّهَا الأَوْلادُ، أَطِيعُوا وَالِدِيكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ. فَهَذَا هُوَ الصَّوَابُ:

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

٢ «أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ» وَهَذِهِ أَوَّلُ وَصِيَّةٍ مُرْتَبِطَةٍ بِوَعْدٍ

3 that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived on the earth.

٣ «لِكَيْ تُلاقِيَ الْخَيْرَ وَيَطُولَ عُمْرُكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ!»

4 And [ye] fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord.

٤ وَأَنْتُمْ، أَيُّهَا الآبَاءُ، لَا تُثِيرُوا غَضَبَ أَوْلادِكُمْ. وَإِنَّمَا رَبُّوهُمْ بِتَأْدِيبِ الرَّبِّ وَوَصَايَاهُ.

5 Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ;

٥ أَيُّهَا الْعَبِيدُ، أَطِيعُوا سَادَتَكُمُ الْبَشَرِيِّينَ بِخَوْفٍ وَارْتِعَادٍ، مِنْ قَلْبٍ صَادِقٍ، كَمَنْ يُطِيعُ الْمَسِيحَ،

6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from [the] soul,

٦ غَيْرَ عَامِلِينَ بِجِدٍّ فَقَطْ حِينَ تَكُونُ عُيُونُهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَنْ يُحَاوِلُ إِرْضَاءَ النَّاسِ، بَلِ انْطِلاقاً مِنْ كَوْنِكُمْ عَبِيداً لِلْمَسِيحِ،

7 serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men;

٧ عَامِلِينَ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ مِنَ الْقَلْبِ، خَادِمِينَ بِنِيَّةٍ حَسَنَةٍ كَمَا لِلرَّبِّ، لَا لِلنَّاسِ.

8 knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of [the] Lord, whether bond or free.

٨ فَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَهْمَا عَمِلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، فَسَوْفَ يَنَالُ الْمُكَافَأَةَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَ عَبْداً أَمْ حُرّاً.

9 And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him.

٩ وَأَنْتُمْ، أَيُّهَا السَّادَةُ، عَامِلُوهُمْ بِمِثْلِ هذِهِ الْمُعَامَلَةِ غَيْرَ لاجِئِينَ إِلَى التَّهْدِيدِ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ سَيِّدَكُمْ وَسَيِّدَهُمْ هُوَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ لَا يُحَابِي أَحَداً.

10 For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] Lord, and in the might of his strength.

١٠ وَخِتَاماً، تَشَدَّدُوا فِي الرَّبِّ وَفِي قُدْرَةِ قُوَّتِهِ.

11 Put on the panoply of God, that ye may be able to stand against the artifices of the devil:

١١ الْبَسُوا سِلاحَ اللهِ الْكَامِلَ، لِتَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنَ الصُّمُودِ فِي وَجْهِ مَكَايِدِ إِبْلِيسَ.

12 because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual [power] of wickedness in the heavenlies. (aiōn g165)

١٢ فَإِنَّ حَرْبَنَا لَيْسَتْ ضِدَّ ذَوِي اللَّحْمِ وَالدَّمِ، بَلْ ضِدُّ الرِّئَاسَاتِ، ضِدُّ السُّلُطَاتِ، ضِدُّ أَسْيَادِ الْعَالَمِ حُكَّامِ هَذَا الظَّلامِ، ضِدُّ قِوَى الشَّرِّ الرُّوحِيَّةِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. (aiōn g165)

13 For this reason take [to you] the panoply of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having accomplished all things, to stand.

١٣ لِذَلِكَ اتَّخِذُوا سِلاحَ اللهِ الْكَامِلَ، لِتَتَمَكَّنُوا مِنَ الْمُقَاوَمَةِ فِي يَوْمِ الشَّرِّ، وَمِنَ الصُّمُودِ أَيْضاً بَعْدَ تَحْقِيقِ كُلِّ هَدَفٍ.

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

١٤ فَاصْمُدُوا إِذَنْ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَتَّخِذُوا الْحَقَّ حِزَاماً لأَوْسَاطِكُمْ، وَالصَّلاحَ دِرْعاً لِصُدُورِكُمْ،

15 and shod your feet with [the] preparation of the glad tidings of peace:

١٥ وَالاسْتِعْدَادَ لِنَشْرِ بِشَارَةِ السَّلامِ حِذَاءً لأَقْدَامِكُمْ.

16 besides all [these], having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one.

١٦ وَفَوْقَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ، احْمِلُوا الإِيمَانَ تُرْساً بِهِ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تُطْفِئُوا جَمِيعَ سِهَامِ الشِّرِّيرِ الْمُشْتَعِلَةِ.

17 Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word;

١٧ وَاتَّخِذُوا الْخَلاصَ خُوذَةً لِلرَّأْسِ، وَكَلِمَةَ اللهِ سَيْفَ الرُّوحِ.

18 praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in [the] Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

١٨ صَلُّوا فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ، بِكُلِّ صَلاةٍ وَطِلْبَةٍ فِي الرُّوحِ، وَسَاهِرِينَ لِهَذَا الْغَرَضِ عَيْنِهِ مُوَاظِبِينَ تَمَاماً عَلَى جَمِيعِ الطِّلْبَاتِ لأَجْلِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ جَمِيعاً،

19 and for me in order that utterance may be given to me in [the] opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the glad tidings,

١٩ وَلأَجْلِي كَيْ أُلْهَمَ مَا أَنْطِقُ بِهِ كُلَّمَا فَتَحْتُ فَمِي لأُعْلِنَ بِجُرْأَةٍ سِرَّ الإِنْجِيلِ

20 for which I am an ambassador [bound] with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak.

٢٠ الَّذِي أَنَا سَفِيرُهُ الْمُقَيَّدُ بِالسَّلاسِلِ، فَأَكُونُ جَرِيئاً فِي إِعْلانِهِ كَمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ.

21 But in order that ye also may know what concerns me, how I am getting on, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in [the] Lord, shall make all things known to you;

٢١ وَلِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا أَحْوَالِي وَأَخْبَارَ عَمَلِي، فَإِنَّ تِيخِيكُسَ، الأَخَ الْحَبِيبَ وَالْخَادِمَ الأَمِينَ فِي الرَّبِّ، يُخْبِرُكُمْ بِها جَمِيعاً.

22 whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that ye may know of our affairs and that he may encourage your hearts.

٢٢ وَقَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ لِهَذَا الأَمْرِ بِعَيْنِهِ: لِتَعْرِفُوا أَحْوَالِي فَتَتَشَجَّعُ قُلُوبُكُمْ.

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

٢٣ سَلامٌ إِلَى الإِخْوَةِ، وَمَحَبَّةٌ مَعَ إِيمَانٍ، مِنَ اللهِ الآبِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!

24 Grace with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption.

٢٤ لِتَكُنِ النِّعْمَةُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ رَبَّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ مَحَبَّةً لَا يَعْتَرِيهَا الْفَسَادُ!
