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 just.
2 “Sọpụrụ nne gị na nna gị,” nʼihi na nke a bụ iwu mbụ nke nwere nkwa so ya.
Honor your 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 you, and that you may live long on the earth.
4 Ndị bụ nna, unu akpasukwala ụmụ unu iwe kama zụlitenụ ha nʼọzụzụ na nʼozizi nke Onyenwe anyị.
Also, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; but bring them up in the correction and instruction 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, obey your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the integrity of your heart, as to 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, acting as servants to the Lord, and not to 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 whatever good work any one does, for that he shall receive of the Lord, whether bond or 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, masters, do the same things to them, moderating threatening; knowing, also, that your Master is 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, my 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.
Put on the complete armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the crafty ways 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 we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with governments, with powers, with the rulers of this darkness: with spiritual wickedness in the heavenly 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.
For this reason, take up the complete armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having fully wrought everything, 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, then, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 Werenụ njikere nke ikwusa oziọma nke udo yikwasị dị ka akpụkpọ nʼụkwụ unu.
and having 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.
Over all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish 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.
With all supplication and deprecation, pray at all seasons in spirit; and for this very purpose, watch with all perseverance and supplication 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,
especially for me, that eloquence may be given me in opening my mouth with boldness, to make known the secret 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 execute the office of an ambassador in a chain; that I may speak boldly concerning it, as it becomes me 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.
Moreover, that you also may know the things relating to me, and what I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother, and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things;
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 to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Ka udo na ịhụnanya, tinyere okwukwe nke sitere na Chineke Nna na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịịrị unu ụmụnna.
Peace 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.
Favor be with all them who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
