Baefenso 6
1 Mobana amwe, cebo cakwambeti mobakendi Mwami, neco kamunyumfwilani bamashali benu, pakwinga calulama kwinseco.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Mabala alambangeti, “Cindika baiso ne banyoko” Uwu emulawo utanshi muli lulayo lwa kwambeti,
Honor your father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 “Bintu nibimwendelenga caina, kayi nimukekale ne buyumi butali pa cishi capanshi.”
That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.
4 Ne njamwe bamashali, kamutambilanga bana benu maswi eshi kubakalalisha, nsombi kamubakulisha ne kubalela pakubeyisha ncebela kwinsa mubwikalo bwabo bwa ciklistu.
And, you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
5 Amwe mobasha, nyumfwilani bami mbomulasebenselenga, mwela kubatina ne kubacindika ne moyo wonse mbuli ncemwela kusebensela Klistu.
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;
6 Kusebensa kwenu kakutaba kwa kwena kwa kuyandowa kukondwelesha bami benu, nsombi kamusebensani eti basha ba Klistu balenshinga luyando lwa Lesa.
Not with eye-service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 Sebensani ncito kamuli mwakondwa moyo kubeti mulasebenselenga Mwami Lesa, nkamulasebenselenga muntu.
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Ishibani kwambeti Lesa nakape cilambo muntu uliyense nambi muntuyo ni musha nambi nteye musha pancito njalikwinsa.
Knowing that whatever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9 Nenjamwe mobami, mukute basha mwelela kwinsa cimocimo ku basha benu kamutabayoshanga sobwe, pakwinga amwe ne basha benu mwense mukute Mwami umowa uyo uli Kwilu utasalululu pakubeteka.
And, you masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
10 Pakupwililisha ndambangeti pitilishani kuba bantu bayuma mukwikatana ne Mwami kupitila mu ngofu shakendi.
Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Kamufwalani byakufwala bya nkondo byonse, kwambeti mucikonshe kwimana cituloba pakutingana ne tumpindamangobe twa Satana.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 Nteko kwambeti tulalwananga ne bantu, nsombi tulalwananga ne mishimu yaipa ili mu misena ya kwilu ilayungunga bantu kwinsa byaipa, aba ebami ne bendeleshi ne ngofu shili mumushinshe wacino cindi. (aiōn g165)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (aiōn g165)
13 Lino pacebo ici, kamufwalani byakulicingilisha byonse mbyalamupanga Lesa kwambeti kamutakakomwa pabusuba bwaipa mbweshi bukenshike, mwakenseco nimukakonshe kwimana cituloba.
Why take to you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Lino imanani cituloba, kamuli mwafwala bintu ibi. Lisungeni mubukome ne lamba wacancinencine, bululami bubeti cishikungilisha cali cenu,
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 kayi kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa lumuno kubeti nkwabilo nshemwafwala.
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Kusankanya pali ibi, kushoma Lesa kwenu cindi conse nikukabeti cishango cinene ncemwamanta nceti mukakonshe kulitabilisha ku mifwi ilabangilinga mulilo ilafumunga kuli Satana.
Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 Tambulani lupulusho ndwalamupanga Lesa, pakwinga nilukamucingilisheti cisoti cacela, kayi tambulani Maswi a Lesa awo Mushimu Uswepa ngokute kusebensesheti cibeshi.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Insani byonsebi mumipailo, kusenga lunyamfwo kuli Lesa. Pailani pacindi cili conse pakutangununwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, kamubani bacetuka cindi conse kwakubula kutyompwa. Paililani bantu ba Lesa bonse.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 Kamumpaililangonga kuli Lesa kwambeti ang'ambile ncendela kukambauka kwambeti njishibishe bantu kwakubula buyowa ibyo byalikuba byasolekwa mu Mulumbe Waina.
And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 Ame ndamwimanina Yesu Klistu nambi cino cindi ndasungwa mujele cebo cakwambeti bantu benshibe Mulumbe Waina. Kamumpaililako kwambeti ncane ngofu sha kukambauka Mulumbe Waina kwakubula buyowa mbuli ncendela kwinsa.
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 Lino kwambeti mwinshibe cena sha buyumi bwakame kayi ne ncetulekalanga kuno, ndatumunga Tukiko kuli njamwe mwanse wetu kayi musebenshi wa shomeka mu ncito ya Mwami, nakese akamwambile byonse.
But that you also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
22 Encendamutumini kuli njamwe kwambeti mwinshibe ncetulekalanga ne ncetulenshinga kuno, kayi kwambeti amutontosheko myoyo.
Whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that you might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Lumuno ne lusuno, kayi ne lushomo lulafumunga kuli Lesa Bata ne kuli Mwami Yesu Klistu bibe pali njamwe mobanse.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Kayi kwina moyo kwa Lesa kube pali bantu bonse bakute lusuno lwa ncinencine lutapu pali Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu.
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
