Abaefeso 6
1 Abaana, muwulirenga bazadde bammwe mu Mukama waffe, kubanga bwe mukola mutyo, mukola kituufu.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 “Kitaawo ne nnyoko obassangamu ekitiibwa,” eryo lye tteeka erisooka eririmu okusuubiza nti:
“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
3 Bw’onoobanga obulungi, era n’owangaala ku nsi.
“that it may go well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
4 Nammwe abazadde, temunyigirizanga baana bammwe, wabula mubakuze nga mubagunjula era nga mubayigiriza ebya Mukama waffe.
And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of Sovereign.
5 Abaddu, muwulirenga bakama bammwe ab’omu mubiri nga mubatya era nga mubawa ekitiibwa ng’omutima gwammwe mumalirivu, nga bwe mwamalirira mu Kristo.
Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
6 Ekyo temukikola lwa kulabibwa, abantu balyoke babasiime, wabula mukolenga ng’abaddu ba Kristo nga mukola n’omutima gwammwe gwonna, nga Katonda bw’ayagala.
not only when being watched, to please men, but as slaves of the Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 Muweerezenga n’omutima omulungi ng’abakolera Mukama waffe so si ng’abakolera abantu,
serving with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men,
8 nga mumanyi ng’ekirungi kyonna omuntu ky’akola, oba muddu oba wa ddembe, Mukama alimusasula empeera ennungi.
knowing that whatever good each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is slave or free.
9 Era nammwe bakama b’abaddu, muyisenga bulungi abaddu bammwe nga temubatiisatiisa, nga mumanyi nti Mukama waabwe, ye Mukama wammwe, ali mu ggulu era ye tasosola mu bantu.
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 Eky’enkomerero, mubenga n’amaanyi mu Mukama waffe ne mu buyinza obw’amaanyi ge.
Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
11 Mwambale ebyokulwanyisa byonna ebya Katonda, mulyoke musobole okwolekera enkwe za Setaani.
Put on the full armor of God so as to be able to stand firm against the stratagems of the devil.
12 Kubanga tetumeggana na mubiri wadde musaayi, wabula tulwanyisa abafuzi, n’ab’obuyinza, n’amaanyi ag’ensi ag’ekizikiza, n’emyoyo emibi egy’omu bifo ebya waggulu. (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 Noolwekyo mwambalenga ebyokulwanyisa byonna ebya Katonda, mulyoke musobole okwaŋŋanga omulabe ku lunaku olw’akabi, era bwe mulimala okukola byonna, mulyoke musigale nga muli banywevu.
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 Muyimirire nga muli banywevu, ng’amazima lwe lukoba lwammwe lwe mwesibye mu kiwato kyammwe, ate ng’obutuukirivu kye ky’omu kifuba,
So stand firm, having belted your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 nga mwambadde n’engatto mu bigere byammwe nga mugenda okubuulira Enjiri ey’emirembe.
and having shod your feet with the readiness of the Gospel of the peace;
16 Era ku ebyo byonna okukkiriza kwammwe kubeerenga engabo eneebasobozesanga okuzikiza obusaale bwonna obw’omuliro obulasibwa omubi.
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 Obulokozi bubafuukire enkuufiira gye mwambadde, n’ekigambo kya Katonda kibabeerere ekitala eky’Omwoyo,
also, grasp the helmet of the salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's Word spoken;
18 nga musabiririranga mu ssaala zonna nga mwegayiririranga mu mwoyo buli kiseera. Mwekuumenga nga mugumiikirizanga, era nga mwegayiririranga abatukuvu, be bantu bonna aba Katonda.
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 Era nange munsabirenga bwe nnaabanga njogera mpeebwe eby’okwogera, era mbyogerenga n’obuvumu nga ntegeeza abantu ekyama ky’Enjiri.
—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 Ndi mubaka wa Njiri ali mu njegere. Munsabire ndyoke ngibuulire abantu n’obuvumu nga bwe kinsaanira.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to do.
21 Tukiko, owooluganda omwagalwa era omuweereza omwesigwa mu Mukama waffe, alibategeeza byonna mulyoke mutegeere ebinfaako ne bye nkola.
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 Mmutumye gye muli, mulyoke mumanye nga bwe tuli era abagumye emitima gyammwe.
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose: that you may know our circumstances and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Emirembe n’okwagala awamu n’okukkiriza ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe ne Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, bibeerenga n’abooluganda.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
24 Ekisa kya Katonda kibeerenga n’abo bonna abaagala Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo n’okwagala okutaggwaawo.
The grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. Amen.
