Bhaepheso 6
1 Mmanganyanji mmana, malinga Bhakilishitu nnapinjikwanga mwaakundanje bhankwetenje, pabha yeneyo ni ya mmbone.
The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous;
2 Gwaishimiye ainago na akwenu, pabha jeneji ni amuli jilongolela kubha na malagano gakuti,
honour thy father and mother,
3 “Mpate mboka na tama mobha gamagwinji pa shilambolyo.”
which is the first command with a promise, 'That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the land.'
4 Na mmanganyanji ashainamundu, nnataandubhanganje ashibhana bhenu, ikabhe mwalelanje kwa ishima na mmajiganyo ga shi Kilishitu.
And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.
5 Na mmanganyanji mmatumwa, mwaakundanje bhakulungwa bhenunji bha pa shilambolyo pano, kwa kwaajogopanga na ungumila, ntendanje nneyo kwa ntima gwa uguja, mbuti nnakwakamulilanga liengo a Kilishitu.
The servants! obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ;
6 Wala nngabha malinga utumwa gwa kwilanguya mmonekanje mbuti bhandu bhakwiikonjeleyanga ku bhandunji, ikabhe malinga bhatumwa bha a Kilishitu nnikamulanga maengo ga kwaanonyela a Nnungu kwa ntima gowe.
not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of soul,
7 Kwa ntima gwa mmbone malinga kwaakamulila liengo Bhakulungwa a Yeshu na nngabha bhandunji.
with good-will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men,
8 Mmumanyanje kuti kila mundu atenda ya mmbone abhe ntumwa eu nngwana, shapate upo na Bhakulungwa.
having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether servant or freeman.
9 Na mmanganyanji mmakulungwanji, mwaatendelanje bhatumwa bhenunji gogo pego, nnekanje kwaajogoyanga. Mmumanyanje kuti na mmanganyanji malinga bhanganyanjibho, mmowe Bhakulungwa bhenunji kubhali kunnungu, na bhenebho bhangali luagu.
And the masters! the same things do ye unto them, letting threatening alone, having known that also your Master is in the heavens, and acceptance of persons is not with him.
10 Kungai, ngunakumpinganga mpundanje kwiishimilika nkulundana na Bhakulungwa na kwa jangutilwa na mashili gabho makulu.
As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might;
11 Nng'walanje ikomanilo yowe ya a Nnungu, nkupinga mwuikananje ila ika Lishetani.
put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil,
12 Pabha komana kwetu nngabha na bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo, ikabhe na ashimaoka bhaatamangana kunnungu pamo na bhakulungwanji na ukulungwa gwa pa shilambolyo sha lubhindu shino. (aiōn g165)
because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places; (aiōn g165)
13 Kwa lyene ligongolyo nng'walanje ikomanilo yowe ya a Nnungu malinga linjola akwenda ku ngondo, nkupinga liishilaga lyubha lya yangali ya mmbone, nkomananje naka mmagongo nnjenunji, genego gamalilaga, mwiishimilikanje.
because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done — to stand.
14 Bhai, nnjimangananje tayali, akuno nninginji mwitabhilenje nshipi gwa kweli mwigunu yenunji, na pa ntima nng'walanje nkogo gwa aki,
Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness,
15 na lilaka lya lunguya Ngani ja Mmbone ja ulele, libhe mbuti ilatu mmakongono genunji,
and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace;
16 pamo na gene gowego, ngulupai ibhe shindu sha kwiibhila pugaika maonga gowe ga moto gaka Lishetani jula.
above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench,
17 Numbe mposhelanje ntapulo malinga kopiya muntwe na lilobhe lya a Nnungu mbuti upanga gunkupegwanga naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God,
18 Nnjuganje Nnungu mobha gowe, nnijangutilwanga naka Mbumu. Nsheyanje gwangali totoshela nkujuga kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bhowe bha ukonjelo.
through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints —
19 Nnyujilanje na nne, nkupinga pungubheleketa ga a Nnungu, mbate shindu sha bheleketa, naalungushiyanje bhandunji kwa mashili, ya nng'iyo ya Ngani ja Mmbone.
and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news,
20 Nne ntume, kwa ligongo lya jene Ngani ja Mmbonejo nkali ndabhwile ino. Bhai nnjuganje nkupinga ngole mashili nkulunguya malinga shingupinjikwa.
for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely — as it behoveth me to speak.
21 Bhai, nkupinga na mmanganyanji mmumanyanje puni bhuli, a Tikiko, apwanga bhaapingwa bhakamula liengo bhaakulupalika nkulundana na Bhakulungwa, shibhammalanjilanje indu yangu yowe nkupinga mmumanyanje ingutenda.
And that ye may know — ye also — the things concerning me — what I do, all things make known to you shall Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful ministrant in the Lord,
22 Ngunakwatuma kungwenunji nkupinga bhammalanjilanje getu uwe na bhantaganje ntima.
whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Ashaalongo ajangu Mmakilishitu, ngunakumpinjilanga ulele na pingana na ngulupai ikopoka kwa a Nnungu Atati na ku Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
24 Ngunakwapinjilanga nema bhowe bhakwaapinganga Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa pinga kwangali mpelo.
The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ — undecayingly! Amen.
