< Ephesians 6 >

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Inyuĩ ciana-rĩ, athĩkagĩrai aciari anyu thĩinĩ wa Mwathani, nĩgũkorwo gwĩka ũguo nĩguo kwagĩrĩire.
2 Honour thy father and mother; ( which is the first commandment with promise; )
“Tĩĩa thoguo na nyũkwa,” rĩu nĩrĩo rĩathani rĩa mbere rĩrĩa rĩrĩ na kĩĩranĩro,
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
“nĩguo maũndũ maku mothe magaacĩre, na ũkenere gũtũũra muoyo hĩndĩ ndaaya gũkũ thĩ.”
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Na inyuĩ maithe-rĩ, mũtikarakaragie ciana cianyu; handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, cireragei mũgĩcirutaga na mũgĩcitaaraga thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
Inyuĩ ngombo-rĩ, athĩkagĩrai aathani anyu a gũkũ thĩ, mũkĩmatĩĩaga na mũkĩmetigĩraga, mũtarĩ na ũhinga ngoro-inĩ, o taarĩ Kristũ mũrathĩkĩra.
6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
Mũtikamaathĩkagĩre o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maramuona atĩ nĩguo mamwendage; no ĩkagai ũguo ta mũrĩ ngombo cia Kristũ, mũgĩĩkaga maũndũ marĩa Ngai endaga mekwo mwĩendeire na ngoro cianyu.
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Tungatagai na ngoro yothe mũtarĩ na kĩnyiria, taarĩ Mwathani mũratungatĩra, no ti andũ,
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
nĩ ũndũ nĩ mũũĩ atĩ Mwathani nĩakarĩha o mũndũ ũndũ o wothe mwega ekaga arĩ ngombo kana atarĩ ngombo.
9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
Na inyuĩ aathani-rĩ, ĩkagai ngombo cianyu o ro ũguo. Mũtigaciĩhĩtagĩre, tondũ nĩ mũũĩ atĩ Mwathani wacio, na nowe Mwathani wanyu, arĩ o kũu igũrũ, nake ndarĩ mũthutũkanio.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Ũhoro wa kũrigĩrĩria ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, gĩagai na hinya thĩinĩ wa Mwathani mũkĩhotithagio nĩ ũhoti wake mũnene.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Mwĩohei indo ciothe cia Ngai cia mbaara nĩguo mũhote gwĩtiiria mawara ma mũcukani.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (aiōn g165)
Nĩgũkorwo kũgiana gwitũ ti gwa kũgiana na arĩa marĩ na mwĩrĩ na thakame, no tũgianaga na aathani, na mothamaki, na maahinya ma gũkũ thĩ ĩno ĩrĩ nduma, o na mbũtũ cia maroho mooru marĩ kũrĩa igũrũ. (aiōn g165)
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwĩohei indo ciothe cia Ngai cia mbaara, nĩguo mũkaahota gwĩtiiria mũthenya ũrĩa mũũru wakinya, na mwarĩkia gwĩka maũndũ macio mothe, no mwĩhaande.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩhaandei wega, mwĩhotorete mũcibi wa ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma njohero, na mwĩohete gako ga kũgitĩra gĩthũri karĩa ka ũthingu,
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
namo magũrũ manyu mũmahaarĩrie gũthiĩ kũhunjia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa thayũ.
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Hamwe na indo icio ciothe, oyai ngo ya wĩtĩkio, ĩrĩa mũrĩhotaga kũhoria nayo mĩguĩ yothe ĩrĩa yakanaga mwaki ya ũrĩa mũũru.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Ningĩ ĩkĩrai ngũbia ya kĩgera ya ũhonokio, na mwĩohe rũhiũ rwa njora rwa Roho, naruo nĩruo kiugo kĩa Ngai.
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Na mũhooyage hĩndĩ ciothe na mahooya ma mĩthemba yothe, mũgĩthaithanaga mũrĩ na Roho. Mwarĩkia gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, ikaragai mwĩhũgĩte, na mũhooyagĩre andũ arĩa aamũre hĩndĩ ciothe.
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
O na niĩ mwene-rĩ, hooyagĩrai, nĩguo rĩrĩa rĩothe ngũtumũra kanua, heagwo ciugo na ngaaria itegwĩtigĩra ngĩmenyithania hitho ya Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
o ũrĩa niĩ ndĩ mwarĩrĩria waguo, na noguo ũtũmĩte njohwo! Hooyagĩrai nĩguo ndĩũheanage itegwĩtigĩra, o ta ũrĩa njagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka.
21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
Tukiko, mũrũ wa Ithe witũ ũrĩa mwende na ndungata ĩĩhokekete wĩra-inĩ wa Mwathani, nĩwe ũkũmwĩra maũndũ mothe, nĩgeetha o na inyuĩ mũmenye ũrĩa ndariĩ na ũrĩa njĩkaga.
22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
Ndĩramũtũma kũrĩ inyuĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ kĩũmbe, nĩguo mũmenye ũhoro witũ ũrĩa tũtariĩ, na nĩguo amũũmĩrĩrie ngoro.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mũrogĩa na thayũ, na wendani hamwe na wĩtĩkio ciumĩte kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ o na kuuma kũrĩ Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. Written from Rome unto the Ephesians by Tychicus.
Wega wa Ngai ũrogĩa na arĩa othe mendete Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ na wendo ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
