Waefeso 6
1 Bhana mbhatila bhazazi bhayomo kup'etela Bwana, kwa ndabha eye ndo haki.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 “Mheshimuayi Dadi waku ni nyongo waku” (Mana eye ndo amuli ya kuanza yaiyele ni ahadi),
“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
3 “ili iyela heli kwa yhomo na mubhwesyai kuishi maisha matali panani pan'dema.
“that it may go well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
4 “Ni muenga bha dadi, msibhadadi si bhanabhinu ni kubhasababishila ligoga, badala yaki, mbhalelai ki maonyo Ni maadili gha Bwana.
And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of Sovereign.
5 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.
Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
6 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,
not only when being watched, to please men, but as slaves of the Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 mbhatumikilai kwa miteema ya yhomo iyoa, kwa ndabha mkamtumikila Bwana wala si bhanadamu,
serving with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men,
8 Yilondeka kumanya ya kuwa kup'etela kila litendo lyema munu ya akaliketa, alapokela, zawadi kuhomela kwa K'yara, ikayela n'tumwa au munu huru.
knowing that whatever good each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is slave or free.
9 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.
And masters, be the same way towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.
10 Kabhele, muyela ni nghofo kup'etela Bwana ni kup'etela ubhueso wa nghofo syamuene.
Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
11 Mfwalai silaha syoa sya K'yara, ndabha mubhwesyai kuyema kinyume ni hila sa lisyetani.
Put on the full armor of God so as to be able to stand firm against the stratagems of the devil.
12 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)
Because, our wrestling match is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the malignant spirits in the heavenly realms. (aiōn g165)
13 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.
That is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, to stand firm, with everything in place.
14 Kabhele mmyemai ngangali. Niketai naa baada ya kuwa mkongili mkanda wa ukueli ni haki mkifua.
So stand firm, having belted your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 Mketai naa khoni mfwalili utayali mmagolo ghinu kwa kuitangasya injili ya amani,
and having shod your feet with the readiness of the Gospel of the peace;
16 yaibhwanili kubhabwesesha kuisima migoa ya yhola mwovu.
above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the malignant one;
17 Mfwalai kofia ya bhuokovu ni upanga wa Roho, laliyele lilobhi la K'yara.
also, grasp the helmet of the salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's Word spoken;
18 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.
praying at all times in the Spirit, using every prayer and petition, yes being watchful to this end with all perseverance and petition for all the saints
19 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.
—on my behalf too, that when I open my mouth utterance may be given to me with boldness, to make known the mystery of the Gospel,
20 Ndabha ya Injili nene nabalozi yanikongibhu minyololo, yakuwa mugati mwa bhene nijobha ki ukifu kanilondeka kujobha.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to do.
21 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.
Now that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything;
22 Nin'tumili kwa yhomo kusudi ya maaulumu eye, ya kuwa mmanyai mambo gha ghihusu tete, abhwesyai kabhafaliji mumiteema yhinu.
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose: that you may know our circumstances and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Amani naiyela kwa bhalongo, ni upendo pamonga ni amani yayihomela kwa K'yara Dadi ni Bwana Yesu Kristu.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
24 Neema naiyela pamonga ni bhoa yabhamganili Bwana Yesu Kristu kwa lipendo lela lalibelili kufwa.
The grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. Amen.
