Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right.
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ, ẹ máa gbọ́ tí àwọn òbí i yín nínú Olúwa, nítorí pé èyí ní ó tọ́.
2 Honor your father and mother (this is the first commandment with a promise attached),
“Bọ̀wọ̀ fún baba àti ìyá rẹ,” èyí tí í ṣe òfin kìn-ín-ní pẹ̀lú ìlérí,
3 that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.
“ki ó lé dára fún ọ, àti kí ìwọ lè wà pẹ́ ní ayé.”
4 And you fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up in the nature and admonition of the Lord.
Àti ẹ̀yin baba, ẹ má ṣe mú àwọn ọmọ yín bínú, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa tọ́ wọn nínú ẹ̀kọ́ àti ìkìlọ̀ Olúwa.
5 Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with reverence and humility, in singleness of heart as if to Christ himself;
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀, ẹ máa gbọ́ ti àwọn olúwa yín nípá ti ara, pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù àti ìwárìrì, nínú òtítọ́ ọkàn yín, bí ẹni pé sí Kristi.
6 not with eye service, as men-pleasers, but as the slaves of Christ, doing the will of God;
Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ sí wọn lẹ́nu kì í ṣe láti rí ojúrere wọn nígbà tí ojú wọn bá ń bẹ lára rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹrú Kristi, ní ṣíṣe ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run láti inú ọkàn rẹ.
7 slaving with good-will from your heart, as for the Lord and not for men;
Ẹ máa fi gbogbo ọkàn yin ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn bí sí Olúwa, kì í sí ṣe sí ènìyàn.
8 because you know that whatever good any man does, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be slave or free man.
Bí ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ pé ohun rere tí olúkúlùkù bá ṣe òun náà ní yóò sí gbà padà lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, ìbá à ṣe ẹrú, tàbí òmìnira.
9 And you masters, show the same spirit to your slaves, and stop threatening them; for you know that your masters and theirs is in heaven, and that there is no respect of persons with him.
Àti ẹ̀yin ọ̀gá, ẹ máa ṣe irú ìtọ́jú kan náà sí àwọn ẹrú yin, ẹ máa dín ìbẹ̀rù yín kù bí ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ pé Olúwa ẹ̀yin tìkára yín ń bẹ ní ọ̀run; kò sì ṣí ojúsàájú ènìyàn lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
10 Finally, my brothers, let your hearts be strengthened in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Ní àkótán, ara mí, ẹ jẹ́ alágbára nínú Olúwa, àti nínú agbára ipá rẹ̀.
11 Put on all the panoply of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground against the stratagems of the devil.
Ẹ gbé gbogbo ìhámọ́ra Ọlọ́run wọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin lè kọ ojú ìjà sí àrékérekè èṣù.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the despotisms, the empires, the rulers of this present darkness, the spirit-hosts of evil in the heavenly realm. (aiōn g165)
Nítorí pé kì í ṣe ẹ̀jẹ̀ àti ẹran-ara ní àwa ń bá jìjàkadì, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìjòyè, àwọn ọlọ́lá, àwọn aláṣẹ ìbí òkùnkùn ayé yìí, àti àwọn ẹ̀mí búburú ní ojú ọ̀run. (aiōn g165)
13 Therefore take up the panoply of God, so that when the evil day comes you may be able to withstand them, and having overthrown them all, to stand your ground.
Nítorí náà, ẹ gbé gbogbo ìhámọ́ra Ọlọ́run wọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin lè dúró tiiri sí ọjọ́ ibi, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá sì ti ṣe ohun gbogbo tan kí ẹ sì dúró.
14 Stand firm then, girt about with the belt of truth, and wearing the breastplate of righteousness,
Ẹ dúró nítorí náà lẹ́yìn tí ẹ fi àmùrè òtítọ́ dì ẹ̀gbẹ́ yin, tí ẹ sì ti di ìgbàyà òdodo mọ́ra.
15 and having your feet shod with the stability of the gospel of peace.
Tí ẹ sì ti fi ìmúra ìyìnrere àlàáfíà wọ ẹsẹ̀ yín ní bàtà.
16 And take up to cover you the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of the Evil One.
Ní àfikún, ẹ mú àpáta ìgbàgbọ́, nípa èyí tí ẹ̀yin lè máa fi paná gbogbo ọfà iná ẹni ibi náà.
17 Take likewise the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Kí ẹ sì mú àṣíborí ìgbàlà, àti idà ẹ̀mí, tí í ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
18 Continue to pray at all times, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching for it with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Pẹ̀lú gbogbo àdúrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ ni kí ẹ máa gbàdúrà nígbà gbogbo nínú Ẹ̀mí, kí ẹ sì máa ṣọ́ra sí i nínú ìdúró ṣinṣin gbogbo àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ fún gbogbo ènìyàn mímọ́.
19 and for me, that utterance may be given me to open my mouth boldly, and to make known the mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador,
Kí ẹ sì máa gbàdúrà fún mí pẹ̀lú, kí Ọlọ́run lè fún mí ní ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó yẹ kí èmi lè máa fì ìgboyà sọ àwọn ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ìyìnrere náà.
20 and in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it boldly as I ought to speak.
Nítorí èyí tí èmí jẹ́ ikọ̀ nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n, kí èmi lè máa fi ìgboyà sọ̀rọ̀ nínú rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti tọ́ fún mí láti máa sọ.
21 But that you also may know my affairs and how I do, Tychicus, my beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you.
Tikiku, arákùnrin olùfẹ́ àti ìránṣẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú Olúwa yóò sọ ohun gbogbo dí mí mọ̀ fún yín, kí ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú lè mọ̀ bí nǹkan ti rí fún mí àti bí mo tí ń ṣe sí.
22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may cheer your hearts.
Ẹni tí mo rán sí yín nítorí èyí náà, kí ẹ lè mọ̀ bí a tí wà, kì òun lè tu ọkàn yín nínú.
23 Peace to the brothers and love, with faith from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Àlàáfíà fún àwọn ará, àti ìfẹ́ pẹ̀lú ìgbàgbọ́, láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wà, àti Olúwa wà Jesu Kristi.
24 May grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with sincerity.
Kí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ wà pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn tí ó fẹ́ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi ni àìṣẹ̀tàn.
