Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Ụmụ, ruberenụ ndị mụrụ unu isi nʼihi na nke a ziri ezi nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
2 Honour thy father and mother (which is the first commandement with promise)
“Sọpụrụ nne gị na nna gị,” nʼihi na nke a bụ iwu mbụ nke nwere nkwa so ya.
3 That it may be well with thee, and that thou mayst liue long on earth.
“Ka ihe nwe ike na-agara gị nke ọma, ka ị biekwa ogologo ndụ nʼelu ụwa.”
4 And ye, fathers, prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in instruction and information of the Lord.
Ndị bụ nna, unu akpasukwala ụmụ unu iwe kama zụlitenụ ha nʼọzụzụ na nʼozizi nke Onyenwe anyị.
5 Seruants, be obedient vnto them that are your masters, according to the flesh, with feare and trembling in singlenesse of your hearts as vnto Christ,
Ndị bụ ohu ruberenụ ndị nwee unu isi. Jirinụ nsọpụrụ na egwu na obi ọcha jeere ha ozi dị ka a ga-asị na ọ bụ Kraịst ka unu na-ejere ozi ahụ.
6 Not with seruice to the eye, as men pleasers, but as the seruants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
Ruberenụ ha isi, ọ bụghị naanị ka unu nata ihuọma ha mgbe ha nọ na-ele unu anya, kama dị ka ndị ohu Kraịst, ndị na-eme uche Chineke site nʼobi ha.
7 With good will, seruing the Lord, and not men.
Jirinụ ọṅụ na ihuọma rụọ ọrụ unu dị ka ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-arụrụ ya, ọ bụghị mmadụ.
8 And knowe ye that whatsoeuer good thing any man doeth, that same shall he receiue of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Nʼihi na unu maara na Onyenwe anyị ga-akwụghachi onye ọbụla maka ihe ọma ọbụla ha mere, ma ha bụ ohu maọbụ ndị nweere onwe ha.
9 And ye masters, doe the same things vnto them, putting away threatning: and know that euen your master also is in heauen, neither is there respect of person with him.
Ndị a na-ejere ozi, mesonụ ndị na-ejere unu ozi mmeso nʼụzọ dị otu a. Abarala ha mba, nʼihi na ị matara na unu nwere naanị otu Nna ukwu nọ nʼeluigwe. Ile mmadụ anya nʼihu adịghịkwa nʼebe ọ nọ.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Nʼikpeazụ, dịnụ ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị na nʼime ike ya dị ukwuu.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the assaultes of the deuil.
Yikwasịnụ ngwa agha niile Chineke ka unu nwee ike iguzosi ike megide nzube ọjọọ niile nke ekwensu.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly gouernours, the princes of the darkenesse of this worlde, against spirituall wickednesses, which are in ye hie places. (aiōn g165)
Nʼihi na ndị anyị na-alụso ọgụ abụghị ndị mmadụ efu nwere anụ ahụ na ọbara, kama ọ bụ megide ndịisi ha niile, megide ịchị isi niile, megide ike usuu mmụọ ọjọọ nke ike ụwa ọchịchịrị a, megidekwa mmụọ ajọ ihe niile nọ nʼebe dị elu nke eluigwe. (aiōn g165)
13 For this cause take vnto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the euill day, and hauing finished all things, stand fast.
Ya mere, yikwasịnụ ngwa agha niile nke Chineke ka unu nwee ike iguzosi ike mgbe onye iro ahụ ga-alụso unu ọgụ. Ka unu nweekwa ike iguzo ọ bụladị mgbe unu chụghachiri ha azụ.
14 Stand therefore, and your loynes girded about with veritie, and hauing on the brest plate of righteousnesse,
Meenụ ka eziokwu dịrị unu dị ka eriri akwa nke a na-eji ekesi akwa ike, ezi omume bụrụkwa ihe dị mkpa dị ka ihe agha unu ji ekpuchi obi unu.
15 And your feete shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.
Werenụ njikere nke ikwusa oziọma nke udo yikwasị dị ka akpụkpọ nʼụkwụ unu.
16 Aboue all, take the shielde of faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fierie dartes of the wicked,
Mgbe niile, unu echefula ijide okwukwe unu dị ka ọta nke unu ga-eji kụchapụ àkụ niile na-enwu ọkụ nke ajọ onye ahụ ga-agba nʼebe unu nọ.
17 And take the helmet of saluation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the worde of God.
Nabatanụ nzọpụta dị ka okpu igwe, werekwanụ okwu Chineke dị ka mma agha nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-enye unu.
18 And pray alwayes with all maner prayer and supplication in the Spirit: and watch thereunto with all perseuerance and supplication for al Saints,
Ma kpeenụ ekpere nʼime Mmụọ nʼoge niile na ụdị ekpere na arịrịọ niile. Nọọnụ na njikere mgbe niile ma nọgidekwanụ na-ekpere ndị nsọ niile ekpere oge niile.
19 And for me, that vtterance may be giuen vnto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to publish the secret of the Gospel,
Na-echetakwanụ m nʼekpere, ka e nye m ike nke mkwuwa okwu, m ga-eji na-ekwupụta ihe omimi nke oziọma na-atụghị egwu ọbụla,
20 Whereof I am the ambassadour in bonds, that therein I may speake boldely, as I ought to speake.
nke m ji maka ya bụrụ onye nnọchite anya nọ na mkpọrọ. Kperenụ m ekpere ka m kwupụta ya nʼatụghị egwu ọbụla dị ka m kwesiri ikwu.
21 But that ye may also know mine affaires, and what I doe, Tychicus my deare brother and faithfull minister in the Lord, shall shewe you of all things,
Ugbu a, iji mee ka unu mara otu m dị na ihe m na-eme, Taịkikọs, nwanna m hụrụ nʼanya na nwaodibo kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼime Onyenwe anyị ga-akọrọ unu ihe niile.
22 Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that ye might knowe mine affaires, and that he might comfort your hearts.
Ana m ezitere ya unu nʼihi nke a, ka o mee ka unu mata ọnọdụ anyị nakwa ka ọ gbaa unu ume.
23 Peace be with the brethren, and loue with faith from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Ka udo na ịhụnanya, tinyere okwukwe nke sitere na Chineke Nna na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịịrị unu ụmụnna.
24 Grace be with all them which loue our Lord Iesus Christ, to their immortalitie, Amen. ‘Written from Rome vnto the Ephesians, and sent by Tychicus.’
Ka amara dịnyere ndị niile ji ịhụnanya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ hụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst nʼanya.
