Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
E nga tamariki, kia ngohengohe ki o koutou matua i roto i te Ariki: ko te mea tika hoki tenei.
2 Honour thy father and mother (which is the first commandement with promise)
Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; ko te ture tuatahi tenei i runga i te kupu whakaari,
3 That it may be well with thee, and that thou mayst liue long on earth.
Kia hua ai te pai ki a koe, kia roa ai hoki tou noho i te whenua.
4 And ye, fathers, prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in instruction and information of the Lord.
Me koutou hoki, e nga matua, kei whakapataritari i a koutou tamariki kia riri; engari whakatupuria ake ratou i runga i te whakaako, i te whakatupato a te Ariki.
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,
E nga pononga, kia ngohengohe ki o koutou rangatira o te wahi ki te kikokiko, me te wehi, me te wiri, i runga i te ngakau tapatahi, ano ki a te Karaiti;
6 Not with seruice to the eye, as men pleasers, but as the seruants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
Kaua hei ta te kanohi mahi, hei whakamanawareka tangata noa; engari hei ta nga pononga a te Karaiti, e mahi a ngakau ana i ta te Atua i pai ai;
7 With good will, seruing the Lord, and not men.
Kia mahi i runga i te whakaaro pai, ano ki te Ariki, kahore ki te tangata:
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.
Kia matau hoki, ko te pai e mea ai te tangata, ka whakawhiwhia mai ano ia ki tenei e te Ariki, ahakoa pononga, ahakoa rangatira.
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.
E nga rangatira, kia pera ano hoki ta koutou ki a ratou; kati te whakawehi: kia matau hoki ko to koutou Ariki me to ratou kei te rangi; kahore hoki ana whakapai kanohi.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Heoi, kia kaha i roto i te Ariki, i te mana hoki o tona kaha.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the assaultes of the deuil.
Kakahuria iho nga mea whawhai katoa a te Atua, kia taea ai e koutou nga mahi tinihanga a te rewera te tu ki te riri.
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)
Ehara hoki ta tatou i te pakanga ki te kikokiko, ki nga toto, engari ki nga rangatiratanga, ki nga mana, ki nga ariki o te pouri o tenei ao, ki nga taua wairua kino o nga wahi i te rangi. (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.
Mo konei kia mau ki nga mea whawhai katoa a te Atua, kia taea ai e koutou te tu atu ki te riri i te ra kino, a ka poto i a koutou nga mea katoa te mahi, kia tu.
14 Stand therefore, and your loynes girded about with veritie, and hauing on the brest plate of righteousnesse,
E tu ra, he mea whitiki o koutou hope ki te pono, kakahuria iho ano hoki ko te tika hei pukupuku;
15 And your feete shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.
Herea iho te rongopai o te rangimarie hei hu mo o koutou waewae, kia takatu ai;
16 Aboue all, take the shielde of faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fierie dartes of the wicked,
Mo waho i enei mea katoa e mau ki te whakapono hei whakangungu rakau, e taea ai e koutou te tinei nga matia muramura katoa a te wairua kino.
17 And take the helmet of saluation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the worde of God.
E mau hoki ki te ora hei potae, ki te hoari hoki a te Wairua, ara ki te kupu a te Atua.
18 And pray alwayes with all maner prayer and supplication in the Spirit: and watch thereunto with all perseuerance and supplication for al Saints,
Kia pau te inoi me te tohe, me inoi i nga wa katoa i roto i te Wairua, kia mataara hoki koutou ki taua mea, me te u tonu ki te tohe mo te hunga tapu katoa;
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,
Moku ano hoki, kia homai he kupu ki ahau, kia maia ai te puaki o toku mangai, ki te whakaatu i te mea ngaro, ara i te rongopai;
20 Whereof I am the ambassadour in bonds, that therein I may speake boldely, as I ought to speake.
Ko tana karere nei ahau, he mea mekameka; kia maia ai ahau ki taua korero, kia rite ai taku korero ki te mea i tika.
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,
Na, kia matau ai koutou ki akau mea, ki aku mahi, ma Tikiku e whakaatu nga mea katoa ki a koutou, he teina aroha nei ia, he minita pono i roto i te Ariki.
22 Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that ye might knowe mine affaires, and that he might comfort your hearts.
Mo reira i tonoa atu ai ia e ahau ki a koutou, kia matau ai koutou ki to matou ahua, a kia whakamarietia ai e ia o koutou ngakau.
23 Peace be with the brethren, and loue with faith from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Kia tau ki nga teina te rangimarie, te aroha, me te whakapono, he mea na te Atua Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
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.’
Kia tau te aroha noa ki te hunga katoa e aroha ana, he aroha parakore, ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti. Amine.
