Ephesians 6
1 Sones, obeische ye to youre fadir and modir, in the Lord; for this thing is riytful.
Enyi watoto, watiini wazazi wenu katika Bwana, kwa kuwa hili ni jema.
2 Onoure thou thi fadir and thi modir, that is the firste maundement in biheest;
“Waheshimu baba yako na mama yako,” hii ndio amri ya kwanza yenye ahadi,
3 that it be wel to thee, and that thou be long lyuynge on the erthe.
“upate baraka na uishi siku nyingi duniani.”
4 And, fadris, nyle ye terre youre sones to wraththe; but nurische ye hem in the teching and chastising of the Lord.
Ninyi akina baba, msiwachokoze watoto wenu, bali waleeni kwa nidhamu na mafundisho ya Bwana.
5 Seruauntis, obeische ye to fleischli lordis with drede and trembling, in simplenesse of youre herte, as to Crist;
Ninyi watumwa, watiini hao walio mabwana zenu hapa duniani kwa heshima na kwa kutetemeka na kwa moyo mmoja, kama vile mnavyomtii Kristo.
6 not seruynge at the iye, as plesinge to men, but as seruauntis of Crist; doynge the wille of God bi discrecioun,
Watiini, si tu wakati wakiwaona ili mpate upendeleo wao, bali mtumike kama watumwa wa Kristo, mkifanya mapenzi ya Mungu kwa moyo.
7 with good wille seruynge as to the Lord, and not as to men;
Tumikeni kwa moyo wote, kama vile mnamtumikia Bwana na si wanadamu.
8 witinge that ech man, what euere good thing he schal do, he schal resseyue this of the Lord, whether seruaunt, whether fre man.
Mkijua kwamba Bwana atampa kila mtu thawabu kwa lolote jema alilotenda, kama yeye ni mtumwa au ni mtu huru.
9 And, ye lordis, do the same thingis to hem, foryyuynge manaasis; witinge that bothe her Lord and youre is in heuenes, and the taking of persones is not anentis God.
Nanyi mabwana, watendeeni watumwa wenu kwa jinsi iyo hiyo. Msiwatishe, kwa kuwa mnajua ya kwamba yeye aliye Bwana wenu na Bwana wao yuko mbinguni, naye hana upendeleo.
10 Her aftirward, britheren, be ye coumfortid in the Lord, and in the miyt of his vertu.
Hatimaye, mzidi kuwa hodari katika Bwana na katika uweza wa nguvu zake.
11 Clothe you with the armere of God, that ye moun stonde ayens aspiynges of the deuel.
Vaeni silaha zote za Mungu ili kwamba mweze kuzipinga hila za ibilisi.
12 For whi stryuyng is not to vs ayens fleisch and blood, but ayens princis and potestatis, ayens gouernours of the world of these derknessis, ayens spiritual thingis of wickidnesse, in heuenli thingis. (aiōn g165)
Kwa maana kushindana kwetu si juu ya nyama na damu, bali dhidi ya falme, mamlaka, dhidi ya wakuu wa giza na majeshi ya pepo wabaya katika ulimwengu wa roho. (aiōn g165)
13 Therfor take ye the armere of God, that ye moun ayenstonde in the yuel dai; and in alle thingis stonde perfit.
Kwa hiyo vaeni silaha zote za Mungu ili mweze kushindana siku ya uovu itakapokuja nanyi mkiisha kufanya yote, simameni imara.
14 Therfor stonde ye, and be gird aboute youre leendis in sothefastnesse, and clothid with the haburioun of riytwisnesse,
Kwa hiyo simameni imara mkiwa mmejifunga kweli kiunoni na kuvaa dirii ya haki kifuani,
15 and youre feet schood in making redi of the gospel of pees.
nayo miguu yenu ifungiwe utayari tuupatao kwa Injili ya amani.
16 In alle thingis take ye the scheld of feith, in which ye moun quenche alle the firy dartis of `the worste.
Zaidi ya haya yote, twaeni ngao ya imani, ambayo kwa hiyo mtaweza kuizima mishale yote yenye moto ya yule mwovu.
17 And take ye the helm of helthe, and the swerd of the Goost, that is, the word of God.
Vaeni chapeo ya wokovu na mchukue upanga wa Roho, ambao ni Neno la Mungu.
18 Bi al preier and bisechyng preie ye al tyme in spirit, and in hym wakinge in al bisynesse, and bisechyng for alle hooli men, and for me;
Mkiomba kwa Roho siku zote katika sala zote na maombi, mkikesha kila wakati mkiwaombea watakatifu wote.
19 that word be youun to me in openyng of my mouth, with trist to make knowun the mysterie of the gospel,
Niombeeni na mimi pia, ili kila nifunguapo kinywa changu, nipewe maneno ya kusema, niweze kutangaza siri ya Injili kwa ujasiri,
20 for which Y am set in message in a chayne; so that in it Y be hardi to speke, as it bihoueth me.
ambayo mimi ni balozi wake katika vifungo. Ombeni ili nipate kuhubiri kwa ujasiri kama inipasavyo.
21 And ye wite, what thingis ben aboute me, what Y do, Titicus, my moost dere brother, and trewe mynystre in the Lord, schal make alle thingis knowun to you;
Tikiko, aliye ndugu mpendwa na mtumishi mwaminifu katika Bwana, atawaambia kila kitu, ili pia mpate kujua hali yangu na kile ninachofanya sasa.
22 whom Y sente to you for this same thing, that ye knowe what thingis ben aboute vs, and that he coumforte youre hertis.
Ninamtuma kwenu kwa ajili ya kusudi hili hasa, ili mpate kujua hali yetu, na awatie moyo.
23 Pees to britheren, and charite, with feith of God oure fadir, and of the Lord Jhesu Crist.
Amani iwe kwa ndugu, na pendo pamoja na imani kutoka kwa Mungu Baba na Bwana Yesu Kristo.
24 Grace with alle men that louen oure Lord Jhesu Crist in vncorrupcioun. Amen, `that is, So be it.
Neema iwe na wote wampendao Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo kwa upendo wa dhati. Amen.
