Ephesians 6
1 Ẹ̀yin ọmọ, ẹ máa gbọ́ tí àwọn òbí i yín nínú Olúwa, nítorí pé èyí ní ó tọ́.
you who [are] Children, do obey the parents of you in [the] Lord; this for is right.
2 “Bọ̀wọ̀ fún baba àti ìyá rẹ,” èyí tí í ṣe òfin kìn-ín-ní pẹ̀lú ìlérí,
do honor the Father of you and mother, which is [the] commandment first with a promise,
3 “ki ó lé dára fún ọ, àti kí ìwọ lè wà pẹ́ ní ayé.”
that well with you it may be and you will be long-lived upon the earth.
4 Àti ẹ̀yin baba, ẹ má ṣe mú àwọn ọmọ yín bínú, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa tọ́ wọn nínú ẹ̀kọ́ àti ìkìlọ̀ Olúwa.
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 Ẹ̀yin ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀, ẹ máa gbọ́ ti àwọn olúwa yín nípá ti ara, pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù àti ìwárìrì, nínú òtítọ́ ọkàn yín, bí ẹni pé sí Kristi.
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 Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ sí wọn lẹ́nu kì í ṣe láti rí ojúrere wọn nígbà tí ojú wọn bá ń bẹ lára rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹrú Kristi, ní ṣíṣe ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run láti inú ọkàn rẹ.
not with eye-service as men-pleasers but as servants of (*k*) Christ doing the will of God from [the] heart
7 Ẹ máa fi gbogbo ọkàn yin ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn bí sí Olúwa, kì í sí ṣe sí ènìyàn.
with good will rendering service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 Bí ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ pé ohun rere tí olúkúlùkù bá ṣe òun náà ní yóò sí gbà padà lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, ìbá à ṣe ẹrú, tàbí òmìnira.
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 Àti ẹ̀yin ọ̀gá, ẹ máa ṣe irú ìtọ́jú kan náà sí àwọn ẹrú yin, ẹ máa dín ìbẹ̀rù yín kù bí ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ pé Olúwa ẹ̀yin tìkára yín ń bẹ ní ọ̀run; kò sì ṣí ojúsàájú ènìyàn lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
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 Ní àkótán, ara mí, ẹ jẹ́ alágbára nínú Olúwa, àti nínú agbára ipá rẹ̀.
(Henceforth *N(k)O*) (brothers of mine *K*) do be empowered in [the] Lord and in the strength of the might of Him.
11 Ẹ gbé gbogbo ìhámọ́ra Ọlọ́run wọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin lè kọ ojú ìjà sí àrékérekè èṣù.
do put on the complete armor of God for to be able you to stand against the schemes of the devil;
12 Nítorí pé kì í ṣe ẹ̀jẹ̀ àti ẹran-ara ní àwa ń bá jìjàkadì, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìjòyè, àwọn ọlọ́lá, àwọn aláṣẹ ìbí òkùnkùn ayé yìí, àti àwọn ẹ̀mí búburú ní ojú ọ̀run. (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 Nítorí náà, ẹ gbé gbogbo ìhámọ́ra Ọlọ́run wọ̀, kí ẹ̀yin lè dúró tiiri sí ọjọ́ ibi, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá sì ti ṣe ohun gbogbo tan kí ẹ sì dúró.
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 Ẹ dúró nítorí náà lẹ́yìn tí ẹ fi àmùrè òtítọ́ dì ẹ̀gbẹ́ yin, tí ẹ sì ti di ìgbàyà òdodo mọ́ra.
do stand therefore having girded the loins of you with truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness
15 Tí ẹ sì ti fi ìmúra ìyìnrere àlàáfíà wọ ẹsẹ̀ yín ní bàtà.
and having shod the feet with [the] readiness of the gospel of peace;
16 Ní àfikún, ẹ mú àpáta ìgbàgbọ́, nípa èyí tí ẹ̀yin lè máa fi paná gbogbo ọfà iná ẹni ibi náà.
(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 Kí ẹ sì mú àṣíborí ìgbàlà, àti idà ẹ̀mí, tí í ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
And the helmet of salvation (do take *NK(O)*) and the sword of the Spirit which is declaration of God;
18 Pẹ̀lú gbogbo àdúrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ ni kí ẹ máa gbàdúrà nígbà gbogbo nínú Ẹ̀mí, kí ẹ sì máa ṣọ́ra sí i nínú ìdúró ṣinṣin gbogbo àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ fún gbogbo ènìyàn mímọ́.
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 Kí ẹ sì máa gbàdúrà fún mí pẹ̀lú, kí Ọlọ́run lè fún mí ní ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó yẹ kí èmi lè máa fì ìgboyà sọ àwọn ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ìyìnrere náà.
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 Nítorí èyí tí èmí jẹ́ ikọ̀ nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n, kí èmi lè máa fi ìgboyà sọ̀rọ̀ nínú rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti tọ́ fún mí láti máa sọ.
for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may be bold as it behooves me to speak.
21 Tikiku, arákùnrin olùfẹ́ àti ìránṣẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú Olúwa yóò sọ ohun gbogbo dí mí mọ̀ fún yín, kí ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú lè mọ̀ bí nǹkan ti rí fún mí àti bí mo tí ń ṣe sí.
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 Ẹni tí mo rán sí yín nítorí èyí náà, kí ẹ lè mọ̀ bí a tí wà, kì òun lè tu ọkàn yín nínú.
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.
23 Àlàáfíà fún àwọn ará, àti ìfẹ́ pẹ̀lú ìgbàgbọ́, láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wà, àti Olúwa wà Jesu Kristi.
Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Kí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ wà pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn tí ó fẹ́ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi ni àìṣẹ̀tàn.
Grace [be] with all those loving the Lord of us Jesus Christ in incorruptibility (Amen. to Ephesian it was written from Rome through Tychicus. *K*)
