Ephesians 6
1 You children, because you (belong to/have a close relationship with) the Lord [Jesus], obey your parents, because it is right [for you to do] that.
Чада, послушайте своих родителей о Господе: сие бо есть праведно.
2 God commanded [in the Scriptures], [Greatly] respect your father and mother. That is the first law [that God] commanded in [which he also] promised [something]. [He promised],
Чти отца твоего и матерь: яже есть заповедь первая во обетовании:
3 [If you do] that, you will prosper, and you will live a long time.
да благо ти будет, и будеши долголетен на земли.
4 You parents (OR, You fathers), do not treat your children so severely that they become angry. Instead, bring them up well by instructing them and by disciplining them in [the manner that] the Lord [Jesus wants you to do].
И отцы, не раздражайте чад своих, но воспитовайте их в наказании и учении Господни.
5 You slaves, obey those who are [your masters]. Obey them very respectfully and sincerely [DOU], just like you obey Christ.
Раби, послушайте господий своих по плоти со страхом и трепетом, в простоте сердца вашего, якоже и Христа,
6 Obey them, not only when they are watching [MTY] you, and not only to cause them to think highly/well of you. Instead, obey them as [though you were] [MET] slaves of Christ, [not slaves of your masters]. Do enthusiastically what God wants [you to do].
не пред очима точию работающе яко человекоугодницы, но якоже раби Христовы, творяще волю Божию от души,
7 Serve [your masters] zealously/wholeheartedly, as you would serve the Lord [Jesus], not as you would serve [ordinary] people.
со благоразумием служаще якоже Господу, а не яко человеком,
8 [Do this because] you know that [some day] the Lord Jesus will reward each person for whatever good [deeds] that person has done. He will reward people who are slaves and people who are not slaves.
ведяще, яко кийждо, еже аще сотворит благое, сие приимет от Господа, аще раб, аще свободь.
9 You masters, just like your slaves [should serve you well], you similarly must treat them well. Stop threatening [to beat] them [if they do not do their work well]. Do not forget you and they have the same Lord who is in heaven. [So he is the one who will say to you and your slaves whether he approves of what you and they have done], and [when he judges people], he does not act more favorably [toward some than he acts toward others].
И господие, таяжде творите к ним, послабляюще им прещения, ведуще, яко и вам самем и тем Господь есть на небесех, и обиновения лица несть у Него.
10 Finally, at all times rely/depend completely on the Lord [Jesus] to strengthen you [spiritually] by his own mighty power.
Прочее же, братие моя, возмогайте во Господе и в державе крепости Его:
11 [Just like a soldier] puts on all his (armor/things [to help him fight]) [MET], you should [use every spiritual resource/help that God provides for you], in order that you may successfully resist the devil when he cleverly tries [to oppose you].
облецытеся во вся оружия Божия, яко возмощи вам стати противу кознем диаволским,
12 You must do this because the fighting that we [believers] do is not only against human beings [SYN]. Instead, we are also fighting against evil spirits who rule and have authority over all that is evil [MET] in the world. And we are fighting against evil spirits who are in heavenly places (OR, everywhere). (aiōn g165)
яко несть наша брань к крови и плоти, но к началом и ко властем (и) к миродержителем тмы века сего, к духовом злобы поднебесным. (aiōn g165)
13 Therefore, [just like a soldier] puts on all his (armor/things to help him fight) [MET], [use well all the spiritual resources/helps that God provides for you]. Do that in order that you may be able to resist successfully the devil and all his powerful evil spirits [MTY] every time they (attack you/tempt you to sin or cause something bad to happen to you). [Do it also in order that] when you have done all that you can to resist them [when they attack you], you will still be ready to resist them [when they attack you the next time].
Сего ради приимите вся оружия Божия, да возможете противитися в день лют и вся содеявше стати.
14 You must be ready to firmly [resist the devil and his evil spirits] [MET], [just like soldiers must be ready to resist the enemy. Prepare for doing that by doing these things]: [To be strong spiritually], hold firmly to [God’s] truth, just like soldiers prepare (to stand firm against/to firmly resist) their enemies by fastening their belts around their waists [MET]. Act righteously [in order to protect yourself against demonic attacks, just like soldiers] put on breastplates [to protect their chests against their enemies’ attacks] [MET].
Станите убо препоясани чресла ваша истиною, и оболкшеся в броня правды,
15 Hold fast the good message [that gives us] peace [with God, just like soldiers] put on their boots firmly [MET] (to stand firm [against/] firmly [resist]) [their enemies].
и обувше нозе во уготование благовествования мира:
16 In addition, keep trusting firmly [in the Lord. That will enable you to protect yourselves from anything that Satan], the evil one, [may do to harm you spiritually, just like soldiers] carry shields [to protect themselves against] the arrows that have flaming tips [that their enemies shoot at them] [MET].
над всеми же восприимше щит веры, в немже возможете вся стрелы лукаваго разжженныя угасити:
17 And [rely/depend on the fact that God] has saved you, [in order to protect yourselves against demonic attacks, just like soldiers] put on a helmet [to protect] their [heads from attacks by] their [enemies] [MET]. And be ready to use [the weapon that God’s] Spirit [has given you], which is the message of God, [in order to fight against] ([demonic powers/Satan]), [just like soldiers] use their swords [to fight against their enemies] [MET].
и шлем спасения восприимите, и мечь духовныи, иже есть Глаголгол Божий:
18 As you are doing that, keep praying [to God] at all times, and requesting him [to do things for you and others; ] and let God’s Spirit [direct what you pray]. For this purpose, always be [spiritually] alert/watchful, and (always be persistent in/never quit) praying for all God’s people.
всякою молитвою и молением молящеся на всяко время духом, и в сие истое бдяще во всяком терпении и молитве о всех святых
19 And [specifically], pray for me. Pray that God will tell me what I should say [MTY] whenever I speak, in order that I may boldly tell others the good message about Christ. People did not know that message before, [but God has now revealed it to me].
и о мне, да дастся ми слово во отверзение уст моих, с дерзновением сказати тайну благовествования,
20 I am (a representative [of Christ]/one who speaks on behalf [of Christ]) [as I tell this message to others, and] I am in prison [MTY] [because of that]. Pray that when I tell [others about Christ], I may speak without being afraid, because that is how I ought to speak.
о немже посолствую во узах, да в нем дерзаю, якоже подобает ми глаголати.
21 In order that you may know about [what is happening] to me and what I am doing, I am sending Tychicus [to you with this letter]. He will tell you everything [that is happening here]. He is a fellow believer whom we all [(inc)] love very much, and he serves the Lord [Jesus] faithfully.
Да увесте же и вы, яже о мне, что делаю, вся скажет вам Тихик, возлюбленный брат и верен служитель о Господе,
22 That is the reason that I am sending him [to you]; I want you to know (how my companions and I are/what is happening to my companions and me), and I want him to encourage you [SYN].
егоже послах к вам на сие истое, да увесте, яже о нас, и да утешит сердца ваша.
23 [I pray that] God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will cause all of you fellow believers to have [inner] peace, and [enable you to] love [each other] and to continue trusting [in Christ].
Мир братии и любовь с верою от Бога Отца и Господа Иисуса Христа.
24 I pray that God will continue to act kindly to [you and] to all [others] who love our Lord Jesus Christ and will never quit loving him.
Благодать со всеми любящими Господа нашего Иисуса Христа в неистлении. Аминь.
