Efesiana 6
1 Anaka, maneke ny ray sy ny reninareo ao amin’ ny Tompo, fa marina izany.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 Manajà ny ray sy ny reninao (fa izany no didy voalohany misy teny fikasana),
“Honour your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:
3 mba hahita soa ianao sy ho maro andro ambonin’ ny tany.
“that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”
4 Ary ianareo ray, aza mampahatezitra ny zanakareo, fa tezao amin’ ny famaizana sy ny fananaran’ ny Tompo izy.
You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 Hianareo mpanompo, maneke ny tomponareo araka ny nofo amin’ ny fahatahorana sy ny fangovitana, amin’ ny fahatsoran’ ny fonareo, toy ny fanekena an’ i Kristy ihany,
Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Messiah,
6 tsy amin’ ny fanompoana eo imaso, tahaka ny mpila sitraka amin’ olona, fa tahaka ny mpanompon’ i Kristy manao izay sitrapon’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fo,
not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Messiah, doing the will of God from the heart,
7 amin’ ny sitrapo manao fanompoana toy ny amin’ ny Tompo, fa tsy amin’ olona,
with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 satria fantatrareo fa izay soa ataon’ ny olona rehetra no horaisiny amin’ ny Tompo, na andevo na tsy andevo izy.
knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
9 Ary ianareo tompo, manaova toy izany aminy kosa, ka atsaharo ny fandrahonana, satria fantatrareo fa ny Tompony sady Tomponareo koa dia any an-danitra; ary tsy misy fizahan-tavan’ olona aminy.
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 Farany, mahereza ao amin’ ny Tompo sy amin’ ny herin’ ny faherezany.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
11 Tafio avokoa ny fiadian’ Andriamanitra, mba hahazoanareo hifahatra amin’ ny fanangolen’ ny devoly.
Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 Fa isika tsy mitolona amin’ ny nofo aman-drà, fa amin’ ny fanapahana sy amin’ ny fanjakana sy amin’ ny mpanjakan’ izao fahamaizinana izao, dia amin’ ny fanahy ratsy eny amin’ ny rivotra. (aiōn g165)
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (aiōn g165)
13 Ary noho izany, dia raiso avokoa ny fiadian’ Andriamanitra, mba hahazoanareo hanohitra amin’ ny andro mahory; ary rehefa vitanareo avokoa, dia hahafahatra ianareo.
Therefore put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Mifahara ary, ka sikino fahamarinana ny valahanareo, ary mitafia ny rariny ho fiarovan-tratra,
Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 ary kiraroy ny fahavononam-panahy avy amin’ ny filazantsaran’ ny fihavanana ny tongotrareo;
and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,
16 ary ho fanampin’ izany rehetra izany dia tano ny finoana ho ampinga, izay hahazoanareo hamono ny zana-tsipìka mirehitra rehetra izay alefan’ ilay ratsy.
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 Ary raiso ny famonjena ho fiarovan-doha sy ny tenin’ Andriamanitra ho sabatry ny Fanahy;
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 ary mivavaha mandrakariva ao amin’ ny Fanahy amin’ ny fivavahana rehetra sy ny fangatahana, ka miambena amin’ izany amin’ ny faharetana sy ny fangatahana rehetra ho an’ ny olona masìna rehetra,
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 holy ones.
19 ary ho ahy koa mba homena ahy ny hiloa-bava amin’ ny fahasahiana hampahafantatra ny zava-miafina momba ny filazantsara
Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
20 (iraka migadra noho izany aho), mba hiteny izany amin’ ny fahasahiana aho, toy izay mety hoteneniko.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 Fa mba ho fantatrareo koa izay toetro, dia Tykiko, rahalahy malala sady mpanompo mahatoky ao amin’ ny Tompo, no hampahalala anareo ny zavatra rehetra;
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 izy no nirahiko hilaza izany zavatra izany indrindra aminareo, mba ho fantatrareo ny toetray, ary mba hamporisihiny ny fonareo.
I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Fiadanana anie ho an’ ny rahalahy ary fitiavana mbamin’ ny finoana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
24 Ny fahasoavana anie ho amin’ izay rehetra tia an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika amin’ ny fitiavana tsy mety levona. Amena.
Grace be with all those who love our Lord Yeshua the Messiah with incorruptible love. Amen.
