Ephesians 6
1 The children: obey your parents in the LORD, for this is right;
hE bAlakAH, yUyaM prabhum uddizya pitrOrAjnjAgrAhiNO bhavata yatastat nyAyyaM|
2 honor your father and mother,
tvaM nijapitaraM mAtaranjca sammanyasvEti yO vidhiH sa pratijnjAyuktaH prathamO vidhiH
3 which is the first command with a promise, “That it may be well with you, and you may live a long time on the land.”
phalatastasmAt tava kalyANaM dEzE ca dIrghakAlam Ayu rbhaviSyatIti|
4 And the fathers: do not provoke your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the LORD.
aparaM hE pitaraH, yUyaM svabAlakAn mA rOSayata kintu prabhO rvinItyAdEzAbhyAM tAn vinayata|
5 The servants: obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ;
hE dAsAH, yUyaM khrISTam uddizya sabhayAH kampAnvitAzca bhUtvA saralAntaHkaraNairaihikaprabhUnAm AjnjAgrAhiNO bhavata|
6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of [your] soul,
dRSTigOcarIyaparicaryyayA mAnuSEbhyO rOcituM mA yatadhvaM kintu khrISTasya dAsA iva niviSTamanObhirIzcarasyEcchAM sAdhayata|
7 serving with goodwill, as to the LORD, and not to men,
mAnavAn anuddizya prabhumEvOddizya sadbhAvEna dAsyakarmma kurudhvaM|
8 having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he will receive from the LORD, whether servant or freeman.
dAsamuktayO ryEna yat satkarmma kriyatE tEna tasya phalaM prabhutO lapsyata iti jAnIta ca|
9 And the masters! Do the same things to them, letting threatening alone, having also known that your Master is in the heavens, and favor by appearance is not with Him.
aparaM hE prabhavaH, yuSmAbhi rbhartsanaM vihAya tAn prati nyAyyAcaraNaM kriyatAM yazca kasyApi pakSapAtaM na karOti yuSmAkamapi tAdRza EkaH prabhuH svargE vidyata iti jnjAyatAM|
10 As to the rest, my brothers, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of His might;
adhikantu hE bhrAtaraH, yUyaM prabhunA tasya vikramayuktazaktyA ca balavantO bhavata|
11 put on the whole armor of God, so you are able to stand against the schemes of the Devil,
yUyaM yat zayatAnazchalAni nivArayituM zaknutha tadartham IzvarIyasusajjAM paridhaddhvaM|
12 because our wrestling is not with flesh and blood, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly [places]; (aiōn g165)
yataH kEvalaM raktamAMsAbhyAm iti nahi kintu kartRtvaparAkramayuktaistimirarAjyasyEhalOkasyAdhipatibhiH svargOdbhavai rduSTAtmabhirEva sArddham asmAbhi ryuddhaM kriyatE| (aiōn g165)
13 because of this take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and having done all things—to stand.
atO hEtO ryUyaM yayA saMkulE dinE'vasthAtuM sarvvANi parAjitya dRPhAH sthAtunjca zakSyatha tAm IzvarIyasusajjAM gRhlIta|
14 Stand, therefore, having your loins girded around in truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
vastutastu satyatvEna zRgkhalEna kaTiM baddhvA puNyEna varmmaNA vakSa AcchAdya
15 and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good news of peace;
zAntEH suvArttayA jAtam utsAhaM pAdukAyugalaM padE samarpya tiSThata|
16 in all, having taken up the shield of faith, in which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one,
yEna ca duSTAtmanO'gnibANAn sarvvAn nirvvApayituM zakSyatha tAdRzaM sarvvAcchAdakaM phalakaM vizvAsaM dhArayata|
17 and receive the helmet of the salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
zirastraM paritrANam AtmanaH khagganjcEzvarasya vAkyaM dhArayata|
18 through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in this, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones—
sarvvasamayE sarvvayAcanEna sarvvaprArthanEna cAtmanA prArthanAM kurudhvaM tadarthaM dRPhAkAgkSayA jAgrataH sarvvESAM pavitralOkAnAM kRtE sadA prArthanAM kurudhvaM|
19 and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news,
ahanjca yasya susaMvAdasya zRgkhalabaddhaH pracArakadUtO'smi tam upayuktEnOtsAhEna pracArayituM yathA zaknuyAM
20 for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely—as it is necessary for me to speak.
tathA nirbhayEna svarENOtsAhEna ca susaMvAdasya nigUPhavAkyapracArAya vaktRtA yat mahyaM dIyatE tadarthaM mamApi kRtE prArthanAM kurudhvaM|
21 And that you may know—you also—the things concerning me—what I do, Tychicus will make all things known to you, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the LORD,
aparaM mama yAvasthAsti yacca mayA kriyatE tat sarvvaM yad yuSmAbhi rjnjAyatE tadarthaM prabhunA priyabhrAtA vizvAsyaH paricArakazca tukhikO yuSmAn tat jnjApayiSyati|
22 whom I sent to you for this very thing, that you might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts.
yUyaM yad asmAkam avasthAM jAnItha yuSmAkaM manAMsi ca yat sAntvanAM labhantE tadarthamEvAhaM yuSmAkaM sannidhiM taM prESitavAna|
23 Peace to the brothers, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
aparam IzvaraH prabhu ryIzukhrISTazca sarvvEbhyO bhrAtRbhyaH zAntiM vizvAsasahitaM prEma ca dEyAt|
24 The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ—undecayingly! Amen.
