Ephisa 6
1 Ca rhoek, Boeipa ah na manu na napa te olngai pah. He tah a ol dueng ni.
The children: obey your parents in the LORD, for this is right;
2 Na nu neh na pa te hinyah lah. Te tah olkhueh neh olpaek lamhma la om.
honor your father and mother,
3 Te daengah ni nang taengah a then la ha om vetih diklai ah hingsennah na dang eh.
which is the first command with a promise, “That it may be well with you, and you may live a long time on the land.”
4 Pa rhoek long khaw na ca rhoek te a thintoek sak boeh tedae amih te Boeipa kah hlinsainah neh rhalrhingnah dongah cuncah uh.
And the fathers: do not provoke your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the LORD.
5 Sal rhoek, pumsa kah na boei rhoek taengah rhihnah neh olngai uh. Na thinko moeihoeihnah neh thuennah neh Khrih taengkah bangla omuh.
The servants: obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ;
6 Mikhmuh dongkah kolopatai rhoek banglam pawt tih hinglu lamloh Pathen kah kongaih aka saii Khrih kah sal rhoek la omuh.
not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of [your] soul,
7 Hlang taengah pawt tih boeipa taengkah bangla lunghoihnah neh salbi uh.
serving with goodwill, as to the LORD, and not to men,
8 A then khat khat a saii te rhip ming saeh. Sal long khaw, aka loeih long khaw Boeipa taeng lamloh amah la a dang bitni.
having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he will receive from the LORD, whether servant or freeman.
9 Boei rhoek nang khaw amah te te amih taengah saii uh. Amih na hihamnah te hlawt laeh. Amih rhoek neh nangmih kah boeipa tah vaan ah om tih a taengah maelhmai sawtnah khueh pawh tite ming uh.
And the masters! Do the same things to them, letting threatening alone, having also known that your Master is in the heavens, and favor by appearance is not with Him.
10 A tloihsoi ah boeipa neh a thadueng kah thaomnah dongah thaphoh uh.
As to the rest, my brothers, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of His might;
11 Rhaithae kah a lungpoek te na mah thai ham atah Pathen kah lungpok haica te bai uh.
put on the whole armor of God, so you are able to stand against the schemes of the Devil,
12 Thii neh pumsa kah hnueihnah te mamih taengah a om moenih. Tedae boeilu rhoek, saithainah, he yinnah khuikah diklai thaomnah, vaan ah halangnah mueihla ni m'pai thil uh. (aiōn g165)
because our wrestling is not with flesh and blood, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly [places]; (aiōn g165)
13 Te dongah Pathen kah lungpok haica te muk uh tangloeng laeh. Te daengah ni khohnin thae vaengah khaw na tungaep thai vetih aka thoeng boeih te na pai thil thai eh.
because of this take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and having done all things—to stand.
14 Pai uh lamtah oltak neh na pumpu te yen uh. Te phoeiah duengnah rhangpho te bai uh.
Stand, therefore, having your loins girded around in truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 Rhoepnah olthangthen dongkah sikimnah neh na kho te khom uh.
and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good news of peace;
16 Te phoeiah tangnah photling te muk uh. Te nen ni rhaithae kah thaltang a rhoh te boeih na thih uh thai eh.
in all, having taken up the shield of faith, in which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one,
17 Te phoeiah khangnah lumuek neh mueihla cunghang te doe thiluh. Te tah Pathen kah olthui ni.
and receive the helmet of the salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
18 Thangthuinah cungkuem neh rhenbihnah dongah a tue takuem ah Mueihla neh thangthui uh. He ham he khuituknah cungkuem nen khaw, hlangcim boeih ham rhenbihnah nen khaw hak uh.
through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in this, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones—
19 Kai ham khaw thangthuiuh. Te daengah ni ka ka ongnah neh kai taengah olka m'paek vetih olthangthen kah olhuep te sayalh la ka phong thai eh.
and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news,
20 Te yueng la thirhui neh ka laipai. Te daengah ni a khuiah ka thui a kuek te tah ka sayalh van eh.
for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely—as it is necessary for me to speak.
21 Te daengah ni kai kawng he na ming uh van pueng eh. Ka saii boeih te thintlo manuca neh Boeipa dongah uepom tueihyoeih Tukhiko loh nangmih taengla ham phoe puei bitni.
And that you may know—you also—the things concerning me—what I do, Tychicus will make all things known to you, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the LORD,
22 Amah te ham ni nangmih taengla anih kan tueih. Te daengah ni kaimih kawng te na ming vetih nangmih kah thinko te han hloep eh.
whom I sent to you for this very thing, that you might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamkah rhoepnah, tangnah neh lungnah tah manuca rhoek taengah om saeh.
Peace to the brothers, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
24 Lungvatnah tah mamih kah boeipa Jesuh Khrih te a cak la aka lungnah rhoek boeih soah om saeh.
The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ—undecayingly! Amen.
