Ephesians 6

1 you who [are] Children, do obey the parents of you in [the] Lord; this for is right.

Bana, utlwang batsadi ba lona; se ke selo se se siameng go dirwa gonne Modimo o ba neile taolo ya go lo laola.

2 do honor the Father of you and mother, which is [the] commandment first with a promise,

Tlotla rrago le mmaago. O ke molao wa ntlha wa Modimo wa melao o o felelang ka tsholofetso.

3 that well with you it may be and you will be long-lived upon the earth.

Mme tsholofetso ke e: Gore fa o tlotla rrago le mmago; o tlaa nna le botshelo jo bo leele, jo bo tletseng masego.

4 And you who [are] fathers, not do provoke the children of you, but do bring up them in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord.

Mme jaanong ke raya batsadi ba bana ke re: Se ntse lo kgadiepetsa bana ba lona lo ba omanyetsa ruri, lo ba galefisa lo ba kgopisa. Go na le go dira jalo, ba godiseng ka go ba tshola ka lorato lo Morena a lo dumelang, lo ba gakolola ka poifo Modimo.

5 you who [are] slaves, do obey the according to flesh masters with fear and trembling in sincerity of the heart of you as to Christ.

Batlhanka, ikobeleng beng ba lona; tlhwaafalelang go ba direla ka bonatla jotlhe jwa lona. Ba direleng fela jaaka lo ne lo ka direla Keresete.

6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers but as servants of (*k*) Christ doing the will of God from [the] heart

Se direng thata fela fa Mongwa lona a lo lebeletse mme lwa nnela go tshameka fa a sa lo lebelela; dirang thata ka boitumelo nako yotlhe, jaaka lo ka bo lo direla Keresete, lo dira go rata ga Modimo ka dipelo tsa lona tsotlhe.

7 with good will rendering service as to the Lord and not to men,

8 knowing that each one (what *ko*) (maybe *NK(o)*) whatever he shall do good this he will receive [back] from (the *k*) Lord whether slave or free.

Gakologelwang gore, Morena o tlaa lo duelela go dira sengwe le sengwe se se molemo, a lo ka bo lo le batlhanka kgotsa lo se bone.

9 And you who [are] masters, the [same things] them do perform toward them giving up the threatening, knowing that (also *no*) of them and of you the master is in [the] heavens and partiality not there is with Him.

Mme le lona beng ba batlhanka lo tshwanetse go tshwara batlhanka ba lona sentle, fela jaaka ke ba reile ka re ba lo ikobele. Se ntse lo ba bopela; gakologelwang gore lona ka bo lona lo batlhanka mo go Keresete; lo na le Morena yo ba nang nae, mme ga a rate bape go gaisa ba bangwe.

10 (Henceforth *N(k)O*) (brothers of mine *K*) do be empowered in [the] Lord and in the strength of the might of Him.

Lwa bofelo, ke batla go lo gakolola gore nonofo ya lona e tshwanetse go tswa mo nonofong e kgolo ya Morena e e mo go lona.

11 do put on the complete armor of God for to be able you to stand against the schemes of the devil;

Aparang diaparo tsa phemelo tsotlhe tsa Modimo gore lo tle lo kgone go iphemela mo maanong otlhe le boferefere jwa ga Satane.

12 because not is to us the wrestling against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of the darkness (*k*) (age *K*) this, against the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly realms. (aiōn g165)

Gonne ga re lwe le batho ba ba dirilweng ka nama le madi, mme re lwa le batho ba ba senang mebele, babusi ba ba bosula ba lefatshe le le sa bonweng ka matlho, dibopiwa tse di nonofileng tsa bo-Satane le magosana a magolo a a bosula a lefifi a a busang lefatshe leno, le mewa e mentsi e e bosula mo lefatsheng le le sa itsegeng. (aiōn g165)

13 Because of this do take up the complete armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand in the day evil and all things having done to stand.

Jalo dirisang sengwe le sengwe sa seaparo sa Modimo sa phemelo go tlhabantsha mmaba fa a tlhasela, mme fa ntwa e sena go fela, lo tlaa bo lo santse lo eme.

14 do stand therefore having girded the loins of you with truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness

Mme go dira jaana, lo tlaa tlhoka moitlamo wa lotheka o o thata wa boammaaruri le thebe ya sehuba ya tumelo ya Modimo.

15 and having shod the feet with [the] readiness of the gospel of peace;

Rwalang ditlhako tse di tlaa dirang gore lo dire ka bofefo fa lo rera Mafoko a a Molemo a kagiso le Modimo.

16 (besides *N(k)O*) all having taken up the shield of faith with which you will be able all the arrows of the evil one which enflamed to quench;

Mo ntweng nngwe le nngwe lo tlaa tlhoka tumelo go nna thebe ya lona go kganela metswi e e bogale e lo e lebagantsweng ke Satane.

17 And the helmet of salvation (do take *NK(O)*) and the sword of the Spirit which is declaration of God;

Gape lo tlaa tlhoka tlhoro ya phemelo ya poloko le chaka ya Mowa e e leng Lefoko la Modimo.

18 through all [times] prayer and supplication praying in every season in [the] Spirit and unto (this *k*) watching with all perseverance and with supplication for all saints

Rapelang ka metlha yotlhe. Kopang Modimo sengwe fela ka fa dikeletsong tsa Mowa O O Boitshepo. O kopeng, lo o gakolola ka se lo se tlhokang, mme lo bo lo nne lo rapelele Bakeresete botlhe gongwe le gongwe ka tlhwaafalo.

19 and also for me, that to me (may be given *N(k)O*) divine utterance in [the] opening of the mouth of mine with boldness to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Nthapelelang le nna, lo bo lo kope Modimo go nnaya mafoko a a ntshwanetseng fa ke bolelela ba bangwe ka bopelokgale kaga Morena, le fa ke ba tlhalosetsa, gore poloko ya gagwe ke ya rona le Badichaba.

20 for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may be bold as it behooves me to speak.

Jaanong ke golegilwe ka ntlha ya go rera molaetsa o o tswang kwa Modimong. Mme rapelang gore ke tle ke nne ke tswelele go o buelela ka bopelokgale le mo kgolegelong, jaaka ke tshwanetse.

21 That now may know also you yourselves the [things] concerning me myself, what I am doing, all things will make known to you Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful servant in [the] Lord,

Tukiko, yo e leng mokaulengwe yo a rategang thata a bile a le mothusi yo o ikanyegang mo tirong ya Morena, o tlaa lo bolelela gotlhe mabapi le ka fa ke tswelelang ka teng.

22 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose that you may know the [things] concerning us, and he may encourage the hearts of you.

Ke mo roma kwa go lona ka maikaelelo a, go lo itsise ka fa re tsogileng ka teng le gore lo bo lo kgothadiwe ke molaetsa o a o lo leretseng.

23 Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

A Modimo o lo neye kagiso, bakaulengwe ba me mo go Keresete, le lorato ka tumelo e e tswang kwa go Modimo Rara le Morena Jesu Keresete.

24 Grace [be] with all those loving the Lord of us Jesus Christ in incorruptibility (Amen. to Ephesian it was written from Rome through Tychicus. *K*)

A tshegofatso le masego a Modimo a nne le botlhe ba ba ratang Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete ka boammaaruri.
