Ephesians 6
1 The children: obey your parents in the LORD, for this is right;
he bālakāḥ, yūyaṁ prabhum uddiśya pitrorājñāgrāhiṇo bhavata yatastat nyāyyaṁ|
2 honor your father and mother,
tvaṁ nijapitaraṁ mātarañca sammanyasveti yo vidhiḥ sa pratijñāyuktaḥ prathamo vidhiḥ
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.”
phalatastasmāt tava kalyāṇaṁ deśe ca dīrghakālam āyu rbhaviṣyatīti|
4 And the fathers: do not provoke your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the LORD.
aparaṁ he pitaraḥ, yūyaṁ svabālakān mā roṣayata kintu prabho rvinītyādeśābhyāṁ tān 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 dāsāḥ, yūyaṁ khrīṣṭam uddiśya sabhayāḥ kampānvitāśca bhūtvā saralāntaḥkaraṇairaihikaprabhūnām ājñāgrāhiṇo bhavata|
6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of [your] soul,
dṛṣṭigocarīyaparicaryyayā mānuṣebhyo rocituṁ mā yatadhvaṁ kintu khrīṣṭasya dāsā iva niviṣṭamanobhirīścarasyecchāṁ sādhayata|
7 serving with goodwill, as to the LORD, and not to men,
mānavān anuddiśya prabhumevoddiśya sadbhāvena dāsyakarmma kurudhvaṁ|
8 having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he will receive from the LORD, whether servant or freeman.
dāsamuktayo ryena yat satkarmma kriyate tena tasya phalaṁ prabhuto lapsyata iti jānīta 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.
aparaṁ he prabhavaḥ, yuṣmābhi rbhartsanaṁ vihāya tān prati nyāyyācaraṇaṁ kriyatāṁ yaśca kasyāpi pakṣapātaṁ na karoti yuṣmākamapi tādṛśa ekaḥ prabhuḥ svarge vidyata iti jñāyatāṁ|
10 As to the rest, my brothers, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of His might;
adhikantu he bhrātaraḥ, yūyaṁ prabhunā tasya vikramayuktaśaktyā ca balavanto bhavata|
11 put on the whole armor of God, so you are able to stand against the schemes of the Devil,
yūyaṁ yat śayatānaśchalāni nivārayituṁ śaknutha tadartham īśvarīyasusajjāṁ paridhaddhvaṁ|
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)
yataḥ kevalaṁ raktamāṁsābhyām iti nahi kintu kartṛtvaparākramayuktaistimirarājyasyehalokasyādhipatibhiḥ svargodbhavai rduṣṭātmabhireva sārddham asmābhi ryuddhaṁ 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 ryūyaṁ yayā saṁkule dine'vasthātuṁ sarvvāṇi parājitya dṛḍhāḥ sthātuñca śakṣyatha tām īśvarīyasusajjāṁ gṛhlīta|
14 Stand, therefore, having your loins girded around in truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
vastutastu satyatvena śṛṅkhalena kaṭiṁ baddhvā puṇyena varmmaṇā vakṣa ācchādya
15 and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good news of peace;
śānteḥ suvārttayā jātam utsāhaṁ pādukāyugalaṁ pade samarpya tiṣṭhata|
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 duṣṭātmano'gnibāṇān sarvvān nirvvāpayituṁ śakṣyatha tādṛśaṁ sarvvācchādakaṁ phalakaṁ viśvāsaṁ dhārayata|
17 and receive the helmet of the salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
śirastraṁ paritrāṇam ātmanaḥ khaṅgañceśvarasya vākyaṁ dhārayata|
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 sarvvayācanena sarvvaprārthanena cātmanā prārthanāṁ kurudhvaṁ tadarthaṁ dṛḍhākāṅkṣayā jāgrataḥ sarvveṣāṁ pavitralokānāṁ kṛte sadā prārthanāṁ kurudhvaṁ|
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,
ahañca yasya susaṁvādasya śṛṅkhalabaddhaḥ pracārakadūto'smi tam upayuktenotsāhena pracārayituṁ yathā śaknuyāṁ
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.
tathā nirbhayena svareṇotsāhena ca susaṁvādasya nigūḍhavākyapracārāya vaktṛtā yat mahyaṁ dīyate tadarthaṁ mamāpi kṛte prārthanāṁ kurudhvaṁ|
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,
aparaṁ mama yāvasthāsti yacca mayā kriyate tat sarvvaṁ yad yuṣmābhi rjñāyate tadarthaṁ prabhunā priyabhrātā viśvāsyaḥ paricārakaśca tukhiko yuṣmān tat jñāpayiṣyati|
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.
yūyaṁ yad asmākam avasthāṁ jānītha yuṣmākaṁ manāṁsi ca yat sāntvanāṁ labhante tadarthamevāhaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhiṁ taṁ preṣitavāna|
23 Peace to the brothers, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
aparam īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca sarvvebhyo bhrātṛbhyaḥ śāntiṁ viśvāsasahitaṁ prema ca deyāt|
24 The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ—undecayingly! Amen.
ye kecit prabhau yīśukhrīṣṭe'kṣayaṁ prema kurvvanti tān prati prasādo bhūyāt| tathāstu|
