Maefese 6
1 Bahwile, muzuwe vashemi venu mwa Simwine, kakuli nji swanelo.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 “Mukuteke veshenu ni vanyinenu” (yeyi nji ntayelo ye ntanzi yine nsepiso),
"Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise:
3 “njokuti kuve hande nenwe mi muhale inako inde he fasi.”
"that it may be well with you, and that you may live long in the land."
4 Mi, inwe veshetu, kanji musundi vana venu kuti mane vaka nyelwe. Kono, muvalute kukalimelwa ni mwi ntayelo ya Simwine.
And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 Vahikana, muve vakuteka va yendisi venu va he fasi ni nkute likando niku chachalika, cho kusepahala kwe nkulo yenu. Muve va kuteka kuvali linu mumu pangila kwa Kreste.
Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;
6 Muswanela kukuteka va yendisi venu isiñi fela hava milolete kuti muva tavise. Kono, muve va kuteka linu chokuva va hikana va Kreste. Mupange intato ya Ireza ke nkulo zenu.
not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as people-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 Museveze ke nkulo zenu zonse, uvu museveleza Simwine isike vantu.
with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to people;
8 Muswanela kwi ziva kuti chintu chonse chi ndotu chi mupanga muntu ni muntu, ka wane kuvozekezwakwa Ireza, kapa mwi kana kapa ulukuluhite.
knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
9 Nenwe vayendisi, mupange zintu ziswana kuva hikana venu. Kanji muva tizi. Mwizi kuti iye yali Simwine wenu wina kwi wulu. Mwizi kuti kakwina chiyaluluti kwali.
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 Kumamanimani, muve va kolete kwa Simwine ni mu ziho zo kukola kwakwe.
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
11 Muzavale zizavalo ze nkondo za Ireza, ili kuti muwole kuzimana kulwisa mihato mivilala ye milelo ya dyavulusi.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
12 Kakuti inkondo yetu kailwiwa inyama ni malaha. Kono, ilwisa inkamaiso ni vavusisi ve luhuho ni vayendisi ve luhuho lwe ififi luvilala, kulwisa luho luvilala mu zivaka ze wulu. (aiōn g165)
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world's rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (aiōn g165)
13 Cwale haho mutule zi lwiso zonse za Ireeza, linu muzimane chokukola ku lwisa vuvi mwi nako yinu yo vuvi. Hachi mwa mana kupanga zintu zonse, kamu zimane chokukola.
Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
14 Cwale aho muzimane cho kukola. Mupange chi hachi mina kuvika itunga lwe niti ni chisilelezo che chivuva yo kuchena.
Stand therefore, having the belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 Mupange inzi chimwa mana kuzwata insangu ze evangeri ye konzo.
and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;
16 Muzintu zonse mukwate i teve ye ntumelo, linu kamu wole kuzima masho endimi a wuloka o muntu muvilala.
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 Mi muhinde inkuwani ye tukuluho ni mukwale we luhuho, ilyo linzwi lya Ireeza.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word of God;
18 Nitapelo yonse ni inkupo, mulapere inako yonse muluhuho. Chowu muhupulo, mukulolelela choku kwatirila ni kulaperela vulumeli vonse.
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 saints:
19 Mi muni lapele name, kuti iñusa lyihelwe kwangu hani yalula mulomo wangu. Mulapele kuti ni wole kwi zivahaze cho vundume initi ilipatite ya evangeli.
on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
20 Ivaka lye vangeli hanili mu apositola mu mawenge, linu kuti muzili ni wola ku wamba cho kulivonahaza sina muni swanela ku wambila.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 Kono kuti nenwe mwi zive misevezi yangu ni muni vukila, Tychicus, muzwale usakiwa ni muhikana ya sepahala wa simwine, keze nezibahaze zintu zonse kwenu.
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 Niva mutuminizi kwenu ke lyinu ivaka, iri kuti mwi zive zintu zi amana iswe, mi awombe wombe inkulo zenu.
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Inkozo ive ku vazumine, ni rato mi ni ntumelo izwa kwa Ireza isi wetu ni Simwine Jesu Kreste.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Chisemo chive navo vonse va saka Simwine Jesu Kreste ni rato lisa mani.
Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
