Efèz 6
1 Zanfan yo, obeyi a paran nou nan Senyè a, paske se sa ki bon.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 Onore Papa ou ak manman ou, ki se premye kòmandman ki vini avèk yon pwomès;
“Honour your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:
3 pou li kapab ale byen avèk ou, e pou ou kapab viv anpil tan sou latè.
“that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”
4 Papa yo, pa pwovoke pitit nou yo a lakòlè, men elve yo nan disiplin ak enstriksyon a Senyè a.
You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 Esklav yo, se pou nou obeyisan a sila ki mèt nou yo selon lachè, avèk lakrent ak tranbleman, nan senserite a kè nou, tankou a Kris la menm,
Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Messiah,
6 pa sèlman devan zye, kòmsi pou fè moun plezi, men kòm esklav a Kris k ap fè tout volonte Bondye ki soti nan kè a.
not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Messiah, doing the will of God from the heart,
7 Avèk bòn volonte, rann sèvis tankou a Senyè a, e pa a lòm
with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 nan konesans ke nenpòt bon bagay yon moun fè, li va resevwa sa a soti nan Senyè a, kit li esklav kit li lib.
knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
9 Epi mèt yo, fè menm bagay yo pou yo. Sispann menase yo, lòske nou konprann ke ni Mèt pa yo a ak pa nou an se nan syèl la, epi devan Li pa gen patipri.
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.
10 Anfen se pou nou vin fò nan Senyè a ak nan fòs a pouvwa Li.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
11 Mete tout pwotèj Bondye a sou nou pou nou kapab kanpe fèm kont tout riz Satan yo.
Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 Paske lit nou an pa kont lachè ak san, men kont wayòm yo, kont pouvwa yo, kont fòs mondyal a tenèb sila a, kont fòs lespri mechan yo nan lye selès yo. (aiōn g165)
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (aiōn g165)
13 Konsa, se pou nou pran tout pwotèj a Bondye a nèt pou nou kapab reziste nan move jou a, epi lè nou fin fè tout bagay, pou nou kanpe fèm.
Therefore put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Konsa, kanpe fèm, kòmsi nou te fin kouvri ren nou avèk Verite a, e mete sou lestomak la pwotèj ladwati a.
Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 Konsa, abiye pye nou avèk preparasyon levanjil lapè a,
and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,
16 e anplis de tout bagay, pran boukliye lafwa a pou nou kapab etenn tout flèch dife a Mechan an.
above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
17 Epi pran kas Sali a ak nepe Lespri a, ki se pawòl Bondye a.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 Avèk tout lapriyè ak siplikasyon, priye nan Lespri a tout tan, e avèk tout sa an konsiderasyon, rete vijilan avèk tout pèseverans ak siplikasyon pou tout fidèl yo.
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 holy ones.
19 Priye pou mwen, pou mo yo va bay a mwen menm, pou lè m ouvri bouch mwen, mwen kapab fè konnen avèk kouraj, mistè a levanjil la,
Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
20 pou sila ke mwen se yon anbasadè anchene; pou nan pwoklame li, mwen kab pale avèk kouraj, jan mwen ta dwe pale a.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 Men pou nou menm osi kapab konnen sikonstans mwen yo, jan mwen ye, Tychique, frè byeneme e sèvitè fidèl nan Senyè a, va fè nou konnen tout bagay.
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.
22 Mwen te voye li kote nou pou bi sa a menm, pou nou ta kapab konnen sikonstans nou menm, e pou Li ta kapab rekonfòte kè nou.
I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Lapè avèk frè nou yo, e lanmou avèk lafwa, ki soti nan Bondye, Papa a, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
24 Lagras avèk tout sila yo ki renmen Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, avèk yon lanmou ki p ap janm varye. Amen.
Grace be with all those who love our Lord Yeshua the Messiah with incorruptible love. Amen.
