< Ndị Efesọs 6 >

1 Ụmụ, ruberenụ ndị mụrụ unu isi nʼihi na nke a ziri ezi nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 “Sọpụrụ nne gị na nna gị,” nʼihi na nke a bụ iwu mbụ nke nwere nkwa so ya.
“Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with a promise; )
3 “Ka ihe nwe ike na-agara gị nke ọma, ka ị biekwa ogologo ndụ nʼelu ụwa.”
that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived upon earth.”
4 Ndị bụ nna, unu akpasukwala ụmụ unu iwe kama zụlitenụ ha nʼọzụzụ na nʼozizi nke Onyenwe anyị.
And, ye fathers, exasperate not your children: but educate them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.
5 Ndị bụ ohu ruberenụ ndị nwee unu isi. Jirinụ nsọpụrụ na egwu na obi ọcha jeere ha ozi dị ka a ga-asị na ọ bụ Kraịst ka unu na-ejere ozi ahụ.
Servants, be obedient to your masters after the flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as unto Christ;
6 Ruberenụ ha isi, ọ bụghị naanị ka unu nata ihuọma ha mgbe ha nọ na-ele unu anya, kama dị ka ndị ohu Kraịst, ndị na-eme uche Chineke site nʼobi ha.
not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul;
7 Jirinụ ọṅụ na ihuọma rụọ ọrụ unu dị ka ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-arụrụ ya, ọ bụghị mmadụ.
with good will doing service as to the Lord, and not unto men:
8 Nʼihi na unu maara na Onyenwe anyị ga-akwụghachi onye ọbụla maka ihe ọma ọbụla ha mere, ma ha bụ ohu maọbụ ndị nweere onwe ha.
knowing that whatsoever good a man doeth, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be a bondman, or whether he be free.
9 Ndị a na-ejere ozi, mesonụ ndị na-ejere unu ozi mmeso nʼụzọ dị otu a. Abarala ha mba, nʼihi na ị matara na unu nwere naanị otu Nna ukwu nọ nʼeluigwe. Ile mmadụ anya nʼihu adịghịkwa nʼebe ọ nọ.
And ye masters, do the same things to them, avoiding menacing language: knowing that you also yourselves have a master in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.
10 Nʼikpeazụ, dịnụ ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị na nʼime ike ya dị ukwuu.
Finally, brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Yikwasịnụ ngwa agha niile Chineke ka unu nwee ike iguzosi ike megide nzube ọjọọ niile nke ekwensu.
Be clothed in the panoply of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 Nʼihi na ndị anyị na-alụso ọgụ abụghị ndị mmadụ efu nwere anụ ahụ na ọbara, kama ọ bụ megide ndịisi ha niile, megide ịchị isi niile, megide ike usuu mmụọ ọjọọ nke ike ụwa ọchịchịrị a, megidekwa mmụọ ajọ ihe niile nọ nʼebe dị elu nke eluigwe. (aiōn g165)
For our conflict is not merely against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and against powers, and against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against wicked spirits in the aerial regions. (aiōn g165)
13 Ya mere, yikwasịnụ ngwa agha niile nke Chineke ka unu nwee ike iguzosi ike mgbe onye iro ahụ ga-alụso unu ọgụ. Ka unu nweekwa ike iguzo ọ bụladị mgbe unu chụghachiri ha azụ.
Therefore take the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all things to stand.
14 Meenụ ka eziokwu dịrị unu dị ka eriri akwa nke a na-eji ekesi akwa ike, ezi omume bụrụkwa ihe dị mkpa dị ka ihe agha unu ji ekpuchi obi unu.
Stand therefore, girded about your loins with truth, and putting on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 Werenụ njikere nke ikwusa oziọma nke udo yikwasị dị ka akpụkpọ nʼụkwụ unu.
and underneath your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Mgbe niile, unu echefula ijide okwukwe unu dị ka ọta nke unu ga-eji kụchapụ àkụ niile na-enwu ọkụ nke ajọ onye ahụ ga-agba nʼebe unu nọ.
and over all lifting up the shield of faith, with which ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17 Nabatanụ nzọpụta dị ka okpu igwe, werekwanụ okwu Chineke dị ka mma agha nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-enye unu.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Ma kpeenụ ekpere nʼime Mmụọ nʼoge niile na ụdị ekpere na arịrịọ niile. Nọọnụ na njikere mgbe niile ma nọgidekwanụ na-ekpere ndị nsọ niile ekpere oge niile.
praying at every opportunity with all prayer and supplication in Spirit, and watching for this very purpose with perseverance and intercession for all the saints;
19 Na-echetakwanụ m nʼekpere, ka e nye m ike nke mkwuwa okwu, m ga-eji na-ekwupụta ihe omimi nke oziọma na-atụghị egwu ọbụla,
and for me that there may be given unto me utterance to open my mouth with boldness, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 nke m ji maka ya bụrụ onye nnọchite anya nọ na mkpọrọ. Kperenụ m ekpere ka m kwupụta ya nʼatụghị egwu ọbụla dị ka m kwesiri ikwu.
for which I am an ambassador in bonds; that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 Ugbu a, iji mee ka unu mara otu m dị na ihe m na-eme, Taịkikọs, nwanna m hụrụ nʼanya na nwaodibo kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼime Onyenwe anyị ga-akọrọ unu ihe niile.
But that ye also may know the things which concern me, and what I am doing, Tychicus will inform you of the whole, a beloved brother, and faithful in the Lord:
22 Ana m ezitere ya unu nʼihi nke a, ka o mee ka unu mata ọnọdụ anyị nakwa ka ọ gbaa unu ume.
whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Ka udo na ịhụnanya, tinyere okwukwe nke sitere na Chineke Nna na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịịrị unu ụmụnna.
Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Ka amara dịnyere ndị niile ji ịhụnanya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ hụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst nʼanya.
Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Written to the Ephesians from Rome by Tychicus.
