Waefeso 6
1 Mwe vaanha muvalevaghe avapafi viinu mwa Mutwa, Ulwakuuva uvu vwe vwakyang'haani.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 “Umwoghopaghe u Nhaata ghwako nhu mama ghwako” (Ulwakuuva ulu lwe lulaghilo lwa kwasia ulunyalufingo),
“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
3 “ulwakuuti jive kiba kange kulyumue kange munoghele kukukala muvukalo uvutali pa iisi.”
“that it may go well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
4 Najumue mwe vanhaata namungavakalasiaghe avaana na pikuvapela ing'alasi, pa uluo, muvalelaghe mu mbulanisio nhi ndaghilo sa Mutua.
And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of Sovereign.
5 Umue vaakamu, muve vitiki ku vatua viinu ava apa pa iisi kuvwoghopua uvuvaha na kutetema nulu dwesi lino luhuma mu numbula siinu. Mwe viitiki kuvanave ndavule vule mukumwitika u Kilisite.
Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
6 Kuleva kulyumue nakungavisaghe pala avatua viinu pano vikuvalola ulwakuuti kuvahovosia. Pa uluo muve vitiki ndavule avakami va Kilisite.
not only when being watched, to please men, but as slaves of the Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 Muvombaghe uvughane kuhuma mu moojo ghinu ghoni, muvavombelaghe na moojo ghiinu ghooni, ulwakuva mukum'bombela u Mutwa nambe nakwekuuti avaanhu.
serving with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men,
8 munoghile kukagula kuuti mumbombo inofu u muunhu juno ivomba, ikwupila uluvonolo kuhuma kwa Mutwa, nave n'kami nambe umuunhu mwavuke.
knowing that whatever good each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is slave or free.
9 Najumue mamutua muvombaghe vulevule ku vakami viinu. Namungavoghofiaghe mukagula kuuti umwene ghwe Mutwa ghwa vooni ghwe jula juno alikukyanya. Mungakagule kuuti mwevusili uvupendelelo mun'kate mwa mwene.
And masters, be the same way towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.
10 Pa uluo, muvisaghe ni ngufu mwa Mutwa ni ngufu sa mwene.
Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
11 Mufwalaghe ifilwilo fyooni ifya Nguluve, ulwkuuti mukagule kukwima lubale nhi giila sa setano.
Put on the full armor of God so as to be able to stand firm against the stratagems of the devil.
12 Ulwakuva uvulugu vwiitu naje danda nhi nyama, looli vwe vwimila vwa vutua nu vutavulilua vwa mhepo nava temi va iisi ava vuhosi nhi ng'iisi, vwimila vwa lipepo ilya mu iisi. (aiōn g165)
Because, our wrestling match is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the malignant spirits in the heavenly realms. (aiōn g165)
13 Pa uluo fwalagha ifilwilo fooni ifya Nguluve, ulwakuuti mwime vunono vwimila vwa vuhosi unsiki ughu ughwa kihoosi. Yetumalile kila kiinu, mukwima vunono.
That is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, to stand firm, with everything in place.
14 Pa uluo mwimaghe nu ngufu. Muvombaghe vulevule pano mupinyile ulukova muvwakyang'ana muvulweli mukifuva.
So stand firm, having belted your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 Muvombaghe vulevule kumo mufwalile muling'anisie mumaghulu ghini ulwa kupulisia ilivangili ilya lukong'ano.
and having shod your feet with the readiness of the Gospel of the peace;
16 Musooni sino pwesile ye mutoolile ingula ija lutengano, jino jikagwile pisimia indibulo sa jula um'biivi.
above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the malignant one;
17 Mufwalaghe ikofili ija vupoki ni bamba ja Mhepo, jino lye lisio lya Nguluve.
also, grasp the helmet of the salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's Word spoken;
18 Palikimo ni nyifunyo na pikufunyila. Musumaghe kwa Mhepo amasiki ghoni. Kulola vulevule mulolelelaghe amasiki ghooni nulu gudo lwooni ni suumo vwimila kuvitiki vooni.
praying at all times in the Spirit, using every prayer and petition, yes being watchful to this end with all perseverance and petition for all the saints
19 Musumaghe vwimila une, ulwakuuti nipelwaghe imhola pano nidindula umulomo ghwango. Musumaghe kuuti nolelelaghe ni ngufu uvwakyang'aani vuno vufisime vuno vulungime kulivangili.
—on my behalf too, that when I open my mouth utterance may be given to me with boldness, to make known the mystery of the Gospel,
20 Vwimila vwa livangili une nilintuni nejuno nikungilue na manyororo, ulwakuuti mun'kate muvanave nijovaghe ni ngufu ndavule nilondilue kujova.
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to do.
21 Looli umue mukagulaghe imbombo sango ndavule nighendelela, Tikiko unyalukolo ghwango umughanike um'bombi umfwihu kwa Mutua ikuvavulagha kila kiinu.
Now that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything;
22 Nimwomuile kulyumue ku ulu luno lulungime, ulwakuuti mukagulaghe sooni vwimila usue, akagule pikughanyamasia amoojo ghinu.
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose: that you may know our circumstances and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Ulutengano luvisaghe kuvanyalukolo, nu lughano palikimo nulwitiko kuhuma kwa Nguluve nhaata nu Mutwa Yesu Kilisite ulughano lulalula lino nalufua.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
24 Ulusungu luvisaghe na vooni vano vamughanile u Mutwa Yesu Kilisite kulughano lula luno nalufua.
The grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. Amen.
