VaEfeso 6
1 Vana, teererai vabereki venyu muna She, nokuti ndizvo zvakanaka.
you who [are] Children, do obey the parents of you in [the] Lord; this for is right.
2 “Kudza baba namai vako,” ndiwo murayiro wokutanga une chipikirwa,
do honor the Father of you and mother, which is [the] commandment first with a promise,
3 “kuti uitirwe zvakanaka uye kuti ugare upenyu hurefu panyika.”
that well with you it may be and you will be long-lived upon the earth.
4 Vanababa, regai kutsamwisa vana venyu; asi, muvarere mukurovedza nokurayira kwaShe.
And you who [are] fathers, not do provoke the children of you, but do bring up them in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord.
5 Varanda, teererai vatenzi venyu vapanyika noruremekedzo uye nokutya, uye nomwoyo wakatendeka, sokuteerera kwamunoita Kristu.
you who [are] slaves, do obey the according to flesh masters with fear and trembling in sincerity of the heart of you as to Christ.
6 Musangovateerera kuti vakufarirei pavanenge vachikuonai chete, asi savaranda vaKristu, vanoita kuda kwaMwari zvichibva pamwoyo yavo.
not with eye-service as men-pleasers but as servants of (*k*) Christ doing the will of God from [the] heart
7 Mushande nomwoyo wose, sokunge munoshandira Ishe, kwete munhu,
with good will rendering service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 nokuti munoziva kuti Ishe achapa mubayiro mumwe nomumwe pane zvose zvakanaka zvaanoita, angava muranda kana akasununguka.
knowing that each one (what *ko*) (maybe *NK(o)*) whatever he shall do good this he will receive [back] from (the *k*) Lord whether slave or free.
9 Uye imi vatenzi, mubate varanda venyu nenzira imwe cheteyo. Musavatyisa, sezvo muchiziva kuti Tenzi wavo nowenyu ari kudenga, uye haana rusaruro maari.
And you who [are] masters, the [same things] them do perform toward them giving up the threatening, knowing that (also *no*) of them and of you the master is in [the] heavens and partiality not there is with Him.
10 Pakupedzisira, ivai nesimba muna She nomusimba rake guru.
(Henceforth *N(k)O*) (brothers of mine *K*) do be empowered in [the] Lord and in the strength of the might of Him.
11 Shongai nhumbi dzose dzokurwa nadzo dzaMwari kuti mugogona kumira muchirwa namano adhiabhori.
do put on the complete armor of God for to be able you to stand against the schemes of the devil;
12 Nokuti hatirwi nenyama neropa, asi navabati, navanesimba, namasimba enyika ino yerima uye namasimba emweya yakaipa ari muchadenga. (aiōn g165)
because not is to us the wrestling against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of the darkness (*k*) (age *K*) this, against the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly realms. (aiōn g165)
13 Naizvozvo shongai nhumbi dzose dzokurwa nadzo dzaMwari, kuti panosvika zuva rakaipa, mugokwanisa kumira, uye mushure mokunge maita zvinhu zvose, kuti mumire.
Because of this do take up the complete armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand in the day evil and all things having done to stand.
14 Zvino mirai nesimba, makasunga bhanhire rechokwadi muchiuno chenyu, nechidzitiro chechipfuva chokururama,
do stand therefore having girded the loins of you with truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness
15 uye tsoka dzenyu dzakashongedzwa negadziriro inobva pavhangeri rorugare.
and having shod the feet with [the] readiness of the gospel of peace;
16 Pamusoro paizvozvi zvose, torai nhoo yokutenda, iyo yamunogona kudzima nayo miseve inopfuta yowakaipa.
(besides *N(k)O*) all having taken up the shield of faith with which you will be able all the arrows of the evil one which enflamed to quench;
17 Torai nguwani yoruponeso nomunondo womweya, iro shoko raMwari.
And the helmet of salvation (do take *NK(O)*) and the sword of the Spirit which is declaration of God;
18 Uye munyengetere muMweya nguva dzose nemhando dzose dzeminyengetero nemikumbiro. Muine izvi mupfungwa dzenyu, murinde uye murambe muchinyengeterera vatsvene.
through all [times] prayer and supplication praying in every season in [the] Spirit and unto (this *k*) watching with all perseverance and with supplication for all saints
19 Munyengeterere neniwo, kuti pose pandinoshama muromo wangu, ndipiwe mashoko kuitira kuti ndigozivisa chakavanzika chevhangeri ndisingatyi,
and also for me, that to me (may be given *N(k)O*) divine utterance in [the] opening of the mouth of mine with boldness to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 iro randiri nhume yakasungwa nengetani. Nyengeterai kuti ndiritaure ndisingatyi, sezvandinofanira.
for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may be bold as it behooves me to speak.
21 Tikikasi, hama inodikanwa nomuranda akatendeka muna She, achakuudzai zvinhu zvose, kuitira kuti nemiwo muzive zvandiri nezvandinoita.
That now may know also you yourselves the [things] concerning me myself, what I am doing, all things will make known to you Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful servant in [the] Lord,
22 Ndiri kumutuma kwamuri nokuda kwechinangwa ichi, kuti muzive zvatiri, uye kuti akukurudzirei.
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose that you may know the [things] concerning us, and he may encourage the hearts of you.
