Baefeso 6

1 Bana muatii azazi winu mu'Ngwana, kwa mana ayee nga haki.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

2 “Muheshimu tate bako ni mao bako” (Maana ayee nga amri ya kwanza ya ahadi)

Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise)

3 “Ili ibe heri kwinu na muweze tama maisha marefu nnani ya nnema.”

That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

4 Ni mwenga mwa tate, kana muakwaze bana na kuwasababishia hasira, badala yake, mualee mu'maonyo ni maagizo ga Ngwana.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

5 Enyi amanda, mube atiifu kwa mabwana winu wa pano pa'nnema kwa heshima ngolo ni kulrndema kwa yogopa mu'mioyo yinu, mube atiifu kwabe kati mwatikumtii Kristo.

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 Utii winu ubile tu mabwana winu kabalola ili kubapuraisha. Badala yake, mube atiifu kati amanda ba Kristo. Mugapange mapenzi ga Nnongo kuoma mumioyo yinu.

Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7 mubatumikie kwa mioyo yinu yoti, kwa kuwa mwamtumikya Ngwana na wala bandu kwaa,

With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

8 mpalikwa kutanga kuwa mu'kila likowe linoyite mundu alipangile, alowa pokya zawadi boka kwa Ngwana, mana itei ywa mmanda au mundu ywabile huru.

Knowing that whatever good thing any man doeth, the same will he receive from the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.

9 Mwenga mwa'mabwana mupange nyonyonyo kwa amanda binu. Kana muwayogopeye mukitanga kuwa ywembe ywabile Ngwana wa woti nga yolo abile kumaunde. Mtangite kuwa ntopo upendeleo nkati yake.

And, ye 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 Hatimaye, mube ni likakala mu'Ngwana mu'uwezo wa likakala lyake.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Muiwale silaha yoti ya Nnongo, ili mpate yema kunchogo ni hila ya nchela.

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 Kwa kuwa vita yitu ya mwai kwaa ya mwai ni nyama. ila ni dhidi ya falme ni mamlaka ya roho ni atawala ba ulimwengu ba ubou ni libendo, dhidi ya nchela mu'sehemu ya kumaunde. (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 Kwa eyo, muiwale silaha yoti ya Nnongo, ili mpate yema imara zaidi ya ubou mu'kipindi cheno kibou. Baada ya kuyomwa kila kilebe, mwalowa yema imara.

Wherefore take to you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Hatimaye muyeme imara. Muipange nyoo baada ya kuwa muutabike nkanda mu'kweli ni haki pa'kifua.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breast-plate of righteousness;

15 Mupange nyoo pamuwalike utayari mumagolo yinu wa kutangaza injili ya amani.

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Mu'kila hali mwamutola ngao ya imani, yabile ikuwezesha kuiyima mishale ya yolo mwou.

Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which ye will be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 Muiwale kofia ya wokovu ni upanga wa Roho, ambao nga neno lya Nnongo.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 pamope ni maombi ni dua. Mulobe kwa Roho kila muda. kwa mtazamo woo mube baangalifu kila muda kwa uvumilivu woti ni maombi kwa ajili ya baamini boti.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching for this purpose with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

19 Mulobe kwaajili yango, ili nipeilwe ujumbe pakanipundisha mu'nkano wango. Mulobe kwamba niyowanike kwa ujasiri kweli wabokanie kwaa kuhusu injili.

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 Ni kwaajili nenga na balozi ywanitabilwe minyororo, ili kuwa nkati yabo nibaye kwa ujasiri kati yanipangilwe kubaya.

For which I am an embassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21 Lakini mwenga pia mugatange makowe yango na jinsi yaniyendelya. Tikito nnono bango kipenzi na mmanda mwaminifu mu'Ngwana, alowa kuwabakiya kila kilebe.

But that ye also may know my affairs, [and] how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things:

22 Nimtumite kwinu kwa kusudi lee maalumu, ili kwama muyowe makowe kuhusu twenga, aweze kubafariji mioyo yinu.

Whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that ye may know our affairs, and [that] he may comfort your hearts.

23 Amani na ibe kwa alongo, ni upendo mpamo ni imani kuoma kwa Nnongo tate ba Ngwana Yesu Kristo.

Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

24 Neema na ibe pamope ni bote bampendile Ngwana Yesu Kristo kwa lipendo lyabile kwaa na'waa.

Grace [be] with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
