Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Abaana, muwulirenga bazadde bammwe mu Mukama waffe, kubanga bwe mukola mutyo, mukola kituufu.
2 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise:
“Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa,” eryo lye tteeka erisooka eririmu okusuubiza nti:
3 "that it may be well with you, and that you may live long in the land."
Bw’onoobanga obulungi, era n’owangaala ku nsi.
4 And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Nammwe abazadde, temunyigirizanga baana bammwe, wabula mubakuze nga mubagunjula era nga mubayigiriza ebya Mukama waffe.
5 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;
Abaddu, muwulirenga bakama bammwe ab’omu mubiri nga mubatya era nga mubawa ekitiibwa ng’omutima gwammwe mumalirivu, nga bwe mwamalirira mu Kristo.
6 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as people-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
Ekyo temukikola lwa kulabibwa, abantu balyoke babasiime, wabula mukolenga ng’abaddu ba Kristo nga mukola n’omutima gwammwe gwonna, nga Katonda bw’ayagala.
7 with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to people;
Muweerezenga n’omutima omulungi ng’abakolera Mukama waffe so si ng’abakolera abantu,
8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
nga mumanyi ng’ekirungi kyonna omuntu ky’akola, oba muddu oba wa ddembe, Mukama alimusasula empeera ennungi.
9 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
Era nammwe bakama b’abaddu, muyisenga bulungi abaddu bammwe nga temubatiisatiisa, nga mumanyi nti Mukama waabwe, ye Mukama wammwe, ali mu ggulu era ye tasosola mu bantu.
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
Eky’enkomerero, mubenga n’amaanyi mu Mukama waffe ne mu buyinza obw’amaanyi ge.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
Mwambale ebyokulwanyisa byonna ebya Katonda, mulyoke musobole okwolekera enkwe za Setaani.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world's rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (aiōn g165)
Kubanga tetumeggana na mubiri wadde musaayi, wabula tulwanyisa abafuzi, n’ab’obuyinza, n’amaanyi ag’ensi ag’ekizikiza, n’emyoyo emibi egy’omu bifo ebya waggulu. (aiōn g165)
13 Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
Noolwekyo mwambalenga ebyokulwanyisa byonna ebya Katonda, mulyoke musobole okwaŋŋanga omulabe ku lunaku olw’akabi, era bwe mulimala okukola byonna, mulyoke musigale nga muli banywevu.
14 Stand therefore, having the belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Muyimirire nga muli banywevu, ng’amazima lwe lukoba lwammwe lwe mwesibye mu kiwato kyammwe, ate ng’obutuukirivu kye ky’omu kifuba,
15 and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;
nga mwambadde n’engatto mu bigere byammwe nga mugenda okubuulira Enjiri ey’emirembe.
16 above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
Era ku ebyo byonna okukkiriza kwammwe kubeerenga engabo eneebasobozesanga okuzikiza obusaale bwonna obw’omuliro obulasibwa omubi.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word of God;
Obulokozi bubafuukire enkuufiira gye mwambadde, n’ekigambo kya Katonda kibabeerere ekitala eky’Omwoyo,
18 with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:
nga musabiririranga mu ssaala zonna nga mwegayiririranga mu mwoyo buli kiseera. Mwekuumenga nga mugumiikirizanga, era nga mwegayiririranga abatukuvu, be bantu bonna aba Katonda.
19 on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
Era nange munsabirenga bwe nnaabanga njogera mpeebwe eby’okwogera, era mbyogerenga n’obuvumu nga ntegeeza abantu ekyama ky’Enjiri.
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Ndi mubaka wa Njiri ali mu njegere. Munsabire ndyoke ngibuulire abantu n’obuvumu nga bwe kinsaanira.
21 But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things;
Tukiko, owooluganda omwagalwa era omuweereza omwesigwa mu Mukama waffe, alibategeeza byonna mulyoke mutegeere ebinfaako ne bye nkola.
22 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.
Mmutumye gye muli, mulyoke mumanye nga bwe tuli era abagumye emitima gyammwe.
23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Emirembe n’okwagala awamu n’okukkiriza ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe ne Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, bibeerenga n’abooluganda.
24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
Ekisa kya Katonda kibeerenga n’abo bonna abaagala Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo n’okwagala okutaggwaawo.
