Ephesus 6
1 Tulik srisrik, kowos in akos papa tomowos ac nina kiowos, mweyen kowos ma lun Leum, ac ma inge suwos.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 “Akfulatye papa tomom ac nina kiom” pa ma sap se emeet ma oasr wuleang kac,
“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
3 fahk mu: “tuh in wo nu sum ac moul lom ac fah loes fin faclu.”
“that it may go well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
4 Papa ac nina, nik kowos akangonye tulik nutuwos an, ku oru ouiya ma ac akkasrkusrakyalos, a kowos in kaelos ac lotelos elos in kapkapak ke ouiya lun mwet lulalfongi.
And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of Sovereign.
5 Mwet kohs, kowos in akos leum lowos fin faclu ac arulana akfulatyalos; ac kowos in oru ke inse pwaye, oana nu sin Christ.
Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
6 Tia oru ye mutalos mukena in mwe aklung nu selos; a ke sripen kowos mwet kohs lun Christ, kowos in oru ma God El lungse ke insiowos kewa.
not only when being watched, to please men, but as slaves of the Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 Oru orekma lowos ke inse engan, oana kowos in oru nu sin Leum ac tia nu sin mwet uh.
serving with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men,
8 Kowos etu lah Leum el ac sot molin orekma wo nukewa lowos, kowos finne mwet kohs ku mwet sukosok.
knowing that whatever good each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is slave or free.
9 Ac kowos mwet leum, kowos in oru oapana inge nu sin mwet kohs lowos, ac tia sifil aksangengyalos. Esam lah kowos ac mwet kohs lowos uh oasr Leum sefanna lowos inkusrao, su ac nununku mwet nukewa oana sie.
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 In aksafye sim luk uh, lela ku lulap lun Leum in akkeye kowos ke kowos ma sefannala yorol.
Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
11 Kowos in nokomang mwe mweun nukewa ma God El asot nu suwos, tuh kowos in ku in tu lain kutasrik lun Devil.
Put on the full armor of God so as to be able to stand firm against the stratagems of the devil.
12 Mweyen tia un mwet se pa kut mweuni uh, a ngun fohkfok yen engyeng uh, ac mwet leum ac wal ac ngun koluk ma leumi mwet uh, ac ku lun we lohsr se inge. (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 Inge kowos in nokomang mwe loeyuk ma God El asot! Na ke len koluk ac tuku, kowos fah ku in lain mwet lokoalok lowos; ac ke saflaiya kowos ac tu na ku ac tia fuhleak.
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 Ke ma inge, kowos in tuyak ac akola. Loseni infulwowos in ku ke pwaye, ac nokomang suwoswos tuh in mwe loeyuk nu ke iniwowos,
So stand firm, having belted your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 ac kena lowos in fahkelik Pweng Wo ke misla, in pa fahluk lowos.
and having shod your feet with the readiness of the Gospel of the peace;
16 Pacl nukewa kowos in us lulalfongi oana mwe loang lowos; kowos in ku in sang konela pisr firir nukewa sin el su Koluklana.
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 Ac kowos in eis lango sin God tuh in oana sie helmet, ac kas lun God in oana cutlass su Ngun Mutal sot nu suwos.
also, grasp the helmet of the salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's Word spoken;
18 Oru ma inge nukewa ke pre, ac siyuk kasru sin God. In kutena ma kowos oru kowos in pre fal nu ke kolyuk lun Ngun. Ke sripa se inge, kowos in oaru in tupan ac tia fuhleak. Pre pacl nukewa ke mwet lun God nukewa.
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 Ac oayapa pre keik, tuh God El fah ase nu sik sie mwe fahkak ke pacl nga akola in kaskas, ac tuh nga in ku in kaskas pulaik, ac oru tuh mwet uh in kalem ke ma lukma lun Wosasu.
—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 Ke sripen Wosasu se inge, nga sie mwet tutafpo fulat lun Jesus Christ, nga finne muta in presin. Pre tuh nga in ku in pulaik in fahkak ke Wosasu oana ma fal.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to do.
21 Kowos fin ke etu keik lah nga fuka, Tychicus el ac fah fahkak nu suwos. El sie mwet lili saok ac oaru ke orekma lun Leum.
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 Pa inge sripa se oru nga supwalot nu yuruwos uh — tuh elan fahkak nu suwos lah fuka ouiyasr nukewa, ac oayapa elan akkeye kowos.
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose: that you may know our circumstances and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Misla, lungse, ac lulalfongi sin God Papa, ac sin Leum Jesus Christ, nu sin mwet wiasr in lulalfongi nukewa.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
24 Lungkulang nu selos nukewa su lungse Leum lasr Jesus Christ ke lungse su koflana wanginla.
The grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. Amen.
