Ephesians 6
1 Bacha khan, Probhu dwara ama baba laga kotha mani bhi, kele koile etu he thik ase.
You children, because you (belong to/have a close relationship with) the Lord [Jesus], obey your parents, because it is right [for you to do] that.
2 “Tumi laga baba aru ama ke sonman koribi” -juntu poila hukum ase kosom thaki kene-,
God commanded [in the Scriptures], [Greatly] respect your father and mother. That is the first law [that God] commanded in [which he also] promised [something]. [He promised],
3 “Titia tumi nimite bhal hobo, aru tumi prithibi te lamba jibon thaki bole paribo.”
[If you do] that, you will prosper, and you will live a long time.
4 Baba khan, apnikhan laga bacha khan ke khong hobole nadibi. Hoile bhi, taikhan ke Isor laga niyom te aru hisab te dangor koribi.
You parents (OR, You fathers), do not treat your children so severely that they become angry. Instead, bring them up well by instructing them and by disciplining them in [the manner that] the Lord [Jesus wants you to do].
5 Sewak khan, tumikhan laga mon sapha pora, malik logote kotha mani kene, bhoi pora aru kapi kene thaki bhi, jineka Khrista usorte thake,
You slaves, obey those who are [your masters]. Obey them very respectfully and sincerely [DOU], just like you obey Christ.
6 khali suku usorte nohoi, jineka manu khan ke khushi kori bole nimite kore, hoile bhi Khrista laga noukar khan nisena, atma pora Isor laga monjur koribi,
Obey them, not only when they are watching [MTY] you, and not only to cause them to think highly/well of you. Instead, obey them as [though you were] [MET] slaves of Christ, [not slaves of your masters]. Do enthusiastically what God wants [you to do].
7 bhal niyom pora sewa koribi Isor laga naam pora, manu laga naam pora nohoikena,
Serve [your masters] zealously/wholeheartedly, as you would serve the Lord [Jesus], not as you would serve [ordinary] people.
8 jani bhi jun manu bhal kaam koribo, etu manu Isor pora pabo, tai nokor hoile bhi nahoile ajad thaka hoile bhi.
[Do this because] you know that [some day] the Lord Jesus will reward each person for whatever good [deeds] that person has done. He will reward people who are slaves and people who are not slaves.
9 Malik khan, taikhan nimite bhi eneka he kori bhi. Gali kene bhoi nakhila bhi. Apnikhan jani ase, apnikhan aru taikhan laga Malik sorgote ase, aru Tai logot te eku bhagsak nai.
You masters, just like your slaves [should serve you well], you similarly must treat them well. Stop threatening [to beat] them [if they do not do their work well]. Do not forget you and they have the same Lord who is in heaven. [So he is the one who will say to you and your slaves whether he approves of what you and they have done], and [when he judges people], he does not act more favorably [toward some than he acts toward others].
10 Hekh te, Probhu logote thakibi aru tai laga takot te sakti pabi.
Finally, at all times rely/depend completely on the Lord [Jesus] to strengthen you [spiritually] by his own mighty power.
11 Isor laga sob hathiar khan lagai lobi, titia apnikhan bhoot laga chalak khan bhirodh te khara kori bole paribo.
[Just like a soldier] puts on all his (armor/things [to help him fight]) [MET], you should [use every spiritual resource/help that God provides for you], in order that you may successfully resist the devil when he cleverly tries [to oppose you].
12 Kilekoile amikhan gaw mangso aru khun logote lorai kora nohoi, hoile bhi biya niyom khan logote, biya takot khan logote, etu duniya laga andhar-laga-rajakhan laga biya khan logote, utcha jaga khan te thaka biya atma khan logote lorai kori ase. (aiōn g165)
You must do this because the fighting that we [believers] do is not only against human beings [SYN]. Instead, we are also fighting against evil spirits who rule and have authority over all that is evil [MET] in the world. And we are fighting against evil spirits who are in heavenly places (OR, everywhere). (aiōn g165)
13 Etu nimite apuni khan Isor laga hathiar khan loi lobi, titia apuni khan biya dinte khara hobole paribo, aru sob kori kene, khara hobo.
Therefore, [just like a soldier] puts on all his (armor/things to help him fight) [MET], [use well all the spiritual resources/helps that God provides for you]. Do that in order that you may be able to resist successfully the devil and all his powerful evil spirits [MTY] every time they (attack you/tempt you to sin or cause something bad to happen to you). [Do it also in order that] when you have done all that you can to resist them [when they attack you], you will still be ready to resist them [when they attack you the next time].
14 Khara hobi, apuni laga komor te hosa bandi lobi, aru chati te dharmikta bandi lobi,
You must be ready to firmly [resist the devil and his evil spirits] [MET], [just like soldiers must be ready to resist the enemy. Prepare for doing that by doing these things]: [To be strong spiritually], hold firmly to [God’s] truth, just like soldiers prepare (to stand firm against/to firmly resist) their enemies by fastening their belts around their waists [MET]. Act righteously [in order to protect yourself against demonic attacks, just like soldiers] put on breastplates [to protect their chests against their enemies’ attacks] [MET].
15 aru apuni laga theng khan te susamachar laga shanti nimite juta lagai kene taiyar koribi.
Hold fast the good message [that gives us] peace [with God, just like soldiers] put on their boots firmly [MET] (to stand firm [against/] firmly [resist]) [their enemies].
16 Sob somoite, biswas laga dhal lobi, etu hoile biya jon pora jui laga tir mari thaka to khotom kori bole paribo.
In addition, keep trusting firmly [in the Lord. That will enable you to protect yourselves from anything that Satan], the evil one, [may do to harm you spiritually, just like soldiers] carry shields [to protect themselves against] the arrows that have flaming tips [that their enemies shoot at them] [MET].
17 Aru poritran laga loha-laga-topi pindhi lobi, aru Atma laga dao, juntu Isor laga kotha ase.
And [rely/depend on the fact that God] has saved you, [in order to protect yourselves against demonic attacks, just like soldiers] put on a helmet [to protect] their [heads from attacks by] their [enemies] [MET]. And be ready to use [the weapon that God’s] Spirit [has given you], which is the message of God, [in order to fight against] ([demonic powers/Satan]), [just like soldiers] use their swords [to fight against their enemies] [MET].
18 Sob somoite Pobitro Atma pora prathana kori bhi, ki lagi ase etu sob mangi kene prathana koribi. Etu sob koribo nimite, hodai taiyar aru hoshiar thakibi aru pobitro manu khan nimite hodai prathana koribi,
As you are doing that, keep praying [to God] at all times, and requesting him [to do things for you and others; ] and let God’s Spirit [direct what you pray]. For this purpose, always be [spiritually] alert/watchful, and (always be persistent in/never quit) praying for all God’s people.
19 Aru ami nimite to, kotha kobole nimite sandesh dibi, tine hole ami bhoi nakori kene mukh khuli bo, susamachar laga lukai kene rakha janai dibole nimite.
And [specifically], pray for me. Pray that God will tell me what I should say [MTY] whenever I speak, in order that I may boldly tell others the good message about Christ. People did not know that message before, [but God has now revealed it to me].
20 -Juntu nimite moi noukar hoi kene ekjon janai diya manu ase-, titia moi bhoi nakori kene kobo, jineka moi kobo lage.
I am (a representative [of Christ]/one who speaks on behalf [of Christ]) [as I tell this message to others, and] I am in prison [MTY] [because of that]. Pray that when I tell [others about Christ], I may speak without being afraid, because that is how I ought to speak.
21 Aru ami ki kori ase, kineka kori ase apuni khan bhi janibo, Tychicus, Probhu te thaka ekjon morom aru biswas thaka bhai pora apnikhan ke koi dibo,
In order that you may know about [what is happening] to me and what I am doing, I am sending Tychicus [to you with this letter]. He will tell you everything [that is happening here]. He is a fellow believer whom we all [(inc)] love very much, and he serves the Lord [Jesus] faithfully.
22 Junke moi apnikhan usorte thik etu nimite he pathai ase, titia amikhan laga kaam khan janibole paribo, aru apnikhan laga mon dangor hobo.
That is the reason that I am sending him [to you]; I want you to know (how my companions and I are/what is happening to my companions and me), and I want him to encourage you [SYN].
23 Sob bhai khan logote shanti aru morom thakibi, biswas pora Baba Isor aru Jisu khrista te.
[I pray that] God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will cause all of you fellow believers to have [inner] peace, and [enable you to] love [each other] and to continue trusting [in Christ].
24 Aru kunkhan Probhu Jisu Khrista ke kitia bhi biya nohobole laga morom kore taikhan logote Isor laga anugraha hobo dibi.
I pray that God will continue to act kindly to [you and] to all [others] who love our Lord Jesus Christ and will never quit loving him.
