Ephesians 6
1 Children, be obedient to your parents as a Christian duty, for it is a duty.
Bhana mbhatila bhazazi bhayomo kup'etela Bwana, kwa ndabha eye ndo haki.
2 "Honour your father and your mother" --this is the first Commandment which has a promise added to it--
“Mheshimuayi Dadi waku ni nyongo waku” (Mana eye ndo amuli ya kuanza yaiyele ni ahadi),
3 "so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth."
“ili iyela heli kwa yhomo na mubhwesyai kuishi maisha matali panani pan'dema.
4 And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up tenderly with true Christian training and advice.
“Ni muenga bha dadi, msibhadadi si bhanabhinu ni kubhasababishila ligoga, badala yaki, mbhalelai ki maonyo Ni maadili gha Bwana.
5 Slaves, be obedient to your earthly masters, with respect and eager anxiety to please and with simplicity of motive as if you were obeying Christ.
Emu bhatumwa, muyela bhatii kwa mabwana bhayomo bha apa paduniani kwa heshima ibhaa ni kutetemekwa kwa kutila mu miteema ya yomo. Muyela mbhatiifu kwa bhene katya kamkatii Kristu.
6 Let it not be in acts of eye-service as if you had but to please men, but as Christ's bondservants who are doing God's will from the heart.
Utii bhinu usiyi tu pala mabwana bhinu pabhakabhalanga ili mbhafulaishai. Badala yaki, muyela bhatiifu Katya bhatumwa bha Kristu. Mketai kimapenzi gha K'yara kuhomela mu miteema ya yhomo,
7 With right good will, be faithful to your duty as service rendered to the Lord and not to man.
mbhatumikilai kwa miteema ya yhomo iyoa, kwa ndabha mkamtumikila Bwana wala si bhanadamu,
8 You well know that whatever right thing any one does, he will receive a requital for it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free man.
Yilondeka kumanya ya kuwa kup'etela kila litendo lyema munu ya akaliketa, alapokela, zawadi kuhomela kwa K'yara, ikayela n'tumwa au munu huru.
9 And you masters, act towards your slaves on the same principles, and refrain from threats. For you know that in Heaven there is One who is your Master as well as theirs, and that merely earthly distinctions there are none with Him.
Ni muenga mabwana mketai eke mebhwa kwa bhatumwa bhinu. Msibhatishili ni kumanya ya kuwa muene yaayele Bwana bhatabhoa ndo yhola yaayele kumbinguni. Mkamanyai ni kujo uyehee upendeleo mugati mwa muene.
10 In conclusion, strengthen yourselves in the Lord and in the power which His supreme might imparts.
Kabhele, muyela ni nghofo kup'etela Bwana ni kup'etela ubhueso wa nghofo syamuene.
11 Put on the complete armour of God, so as to be able to stand firm against all the stratagems of the Devil.
Mfwalai silaha syoa sya K'yara, ndabha mubhwesyai kuyema kinyume ni hila sa lisyetani.
12 For ours is not a conflict with mere flesh and blood, but with the despotisms, the empires, the forces that control and govern this dark world--the spiritual hosts of evil arrayed against us in the heavenly warfare. (aiōn g165)
Kwa ndabha Vita yatete si kwa muasi ni nyama, ni kwa falume ni mamlaka gha roho ni bhatawala bhaulimwengu muovu wa mukitita, zidi ya mapepo mu sehemu sya kumbinguni. (aiōn g165)
13 Therefore put on the complete armour of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground on the day of battle, and, having fought to the end, to remain victors on the field.
Kwa ele mfwalai silaha soa sa K'yara, ili mbhwesyai kuyema ngangali zidi ya uovu kup'etela magono agha ghauovu. Badala ya kumala kila khenu, mlayema ngangali.
14 Stand therefore, first fastening round you the girdle of truth and putting on the breastplate of uprightness
Kabhele mmyemai ngangali. Niketai naa baada ya kuwa mkongili mkanda wa ukueli ni haki mkifua.
15 as well as the shoes of the Good News of peace-- a firm foundation for your feet.
Mketai naa khoni mfwalili utayali mmagolo ghinu kwa kuitangasya injili ya amani,
16 And besides all these take the great shield of faith, on which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of the Wicked one;
yaibhwanili kubhabwesesha kuisima migoa ya yhola mwovu.
17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.
Mfwalai kofia ya bhuokovu ni upanga wa Roho, laliyele lilobhi la K'yara.
18 Pray with unceasing prayer and entreaty on every fitting occasion in the Spirit, and be always on the alert to seize opportunities for doing so, with unwearied persistence and entreaty on behalf of all God's people,
Pamonga ni maombi ni dua. Ms'omayi kwa Roho mda bhuoa. Ni kubhonekana na kwa naa muyela bhayangalifu magono ghoa kwa uvumilivu bhuoa ni maombi kwajia ya bhiamini bhoa.
19 and ask on my behalf that words may be given to me so that, outspoken and fearless, I may make known the truths (hitherto kept secret) of the Good News--
Ms'omayi kwa jia ya nene, ili nipelibhuayi ujumbe panifungulai ndomo wa yhoni. Ms'omayi ya kuwa nibhuesya kuyelebheasya ki ukifu wa ukueli wa ujifighili kuhusu injili.
20 to spread which I am an ambassador in chains--so that when telling them I may speak out boldly as I ought.
Ndabha ya Injili nene nabalozi yanikongibhu minyololo, yakuwa mugati mwa bhene nijobha ki ukifu kanilondeka kujobha.
21 But in order that you also may know how I am doing, Tychicus our dearly-loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's service will tell you everything.
Ni muenga kabhele mmanyai mambo ghanene na jinsi kaniyendela, Tikiko ndongho bhangu kipenzi na n'tumishi wa kuaminika kup'etela Bwana, ala bhajulisha kila khenu.
22 I have sent him to you for the very purpose--that you may know about us and that he may encourage you.
Nin'tumili kwa yhomo kusudi ya maaulumu eye, ya kuwa mmanyai mambo gha ghihusu tete, abhwesyai kabhafaliji mumiteema yhinu.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love combined with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amani naiyela kwa bhalongo, ni upendo pamonga ni amani yayihomela kwa K'yara Dadi ni Bwana Yesu Kristu.
24 May grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with perfect sincerity.
Neema naiyela pamonga ni bhoa yabhamganili Bwana Yesu Kristu kwa lipendo lela lalibelili kufwa.
