Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Ụmụ, ruberenụ ndị mụrụ unu isi nʼihi na nke a ziri ezi nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:
“Sọpụrụ nne gị na nna gị,” nʼihi na nke a bụ iwu mbụ nke nwere nkwa so ya.
3 “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”
“Ka ihe nwe ike na-agara gị nke ọma, ka ị biekwa ogologo ndụ nʼelu ụwa.”
4 You fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Ndị bụ nna, unu akpasukwala ụmụ unu iwe kama zụlitenụ ha nʼọzụzụ na nʼozizi nke Onyenwe anyị.
5 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ,
Ndị bụ ohu ruberenụ ndị nwee unu isi. Jirinụ nsọpụrụ na egwu na obi ọcha jeere ha ozi dị ka a ga-asị na ọ bụ Kraịst ka unu na-ejere ozi ahụ.
6 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
Ruberenụ ha isi, ọ bụghị naanị ka unu nata ihuọma ha mgbe ha nọ na-ele unu anya, kama dị ka ndị ohu Kraịst, ndị na-eme uche Chineke site nʼobi ha.
7 with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
Jirinụ ọṅụ na ihuọma rụọ ọrụ unu dị ka ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-arụrụ ya, ọ bụghị mmadụ.
8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
Nʼihi na unu maara na Onyenwe anyị ga-akwụghachi onye ọbụla maka ihe ọma ọbụla ha mere, ma ha bụ ohu maọbụ ndị nweere onwe ha.
9 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
Ndị a na-ejere ozi, mesonụ ndị na-ejere unu ozi mmeso nʼụzọ dị otu a. Abarala ha mba, nʼihi na ị matara na unu nwere naanị otu Nna ukwu nọ nʼeluigwe. Ile mmadụ anya nʼihu adịghịkwa nʼebe ọ nọ.
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Nʼikpeazụ, dịnụ ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị na nʼime ike ya dị ukwuu.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Yikwasịnụ ngwa agha niile Chineke ka unu nwee ike iguzosi ike megide nzube ọjọọ niile nke ekwensu.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Nʼihi na ndị anyị na-alụso ọgụ abụghị ndị mmadụ efu nwere anụ ahụ na ọbara, kama ọ bụ megide ndịisi ha niile, megide ịchị isi niile, megide ike usuu mmụọ ọjọọ nke ike ụwa ọchịchịrị a, megidekwa mmụọ ajọ ihe niile nọ nʼebe dị elu nke eluigwe. (aiōn g165)
13 Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ya mere, yikwasịnụ ngwa agha niile nke Chineke ka unu nwee ike iguzosi ike mgbe onye iro ahụ ga-alụso unu ọgụ. Ka unu nweekwa ike iguzo ọ bụladị mgbe unu chụghachiri ha azụ.
14 Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Meenụ ka eziokwu dịrị unu dị ka eriri akwa nke a na-eji ekesi akwa ike, ezi omume bụrụkwa ihe dị mkpa dị ka ihe agha unu ji ekpuchi obi unu.
15 and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,
Werenụ njikere nke ikwusa oziọma nke udo yikwasị dị ka akpụkpọ nʼụkwụ unu.
16 above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
Mgbe niile, unu echefula ijide okwukwe unu dị ka ọta nke unu ga-eji kụchapụ àkụ niile na-enwu ọkụ nke ajọ onye ahụ ga-agba nʼebe unu nọ.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
Nabatanụ nzọpụta dị ka okpu igwe, werekwanụ okwu Chineke dị ka mma agha nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-enye unu.
18 with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints.
Ma kpeenụ ekpere nʼime Mmụọ nʼoge niile na ụdị ekpere na arịrịọ niile. Nọọnụ na njikere mgbe niile ma nọgidekwanụ na-ekpere ndị nsọ niile ekpere oge niile.
19 Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
Na-echetakwanụ m nʼekpere, ka e nye m ike nke mkwuwa okwu, m ga-eji na-ekwupụta ihe omimi nke oziọma na-atụghị egwu ọbụla,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
nke m ji maka ya bụrụ onye nnọchite anya nọ na mkpọrọ. Kperenụ m ekpere ka m kwupụta ya nʼatụghị egwu ọbụla dị ka m kwesiri ikwu.
21 But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things.
Ugbu a, iji mee ka unu mara otu m dị na ihe m na-eme, Taịkikọs, nwanna m hụrụ nʼanya na nwaodibo kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼime Onyenwe anyị ga-akọrọ unu ihe niile.
22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts.
Ana m ezitere ya unu nʼihi nke a, ka o mee ka unu mata ọnọdụ anyị nakwa ka ọ gbaa unu ume.
23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ka udo na ịhụnanya, tinyere okwukwe nke sitere na Chineke Nna na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịịrị unu ụmụnna.
24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.
Ka amara dịnyere ndị niile ji ịhụnanya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ hụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst nʼanya.
