Ephesians 6
1 Ye children, be obedient unto your parents [in the Lord], for this is right:
Ry ajajao, mivohora aman-droae’ areo amy Talè ao, fa zay ty hìti’e.
2 Honour thy father and thy mother, —which indeed is the first commandment with promise,
Miasia an-drae’o naho rene’o—ty lily valoha’e minday fampitamañe,
3 That it may come to be, well with thee, and thou shalt be long-lived upon the land.
soa te ho tahie’e naho ho lava haveloñ’ amy Taney ao.
4 And ye fathers, be not provoking your children to anger, but be nourishing them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.
O ry rae, ko bosehañe ty anake, fe beizo amy fañohoañe naho famerea’ i Talè.
5 Ye servants, be obedient unto them who, after the flesh, are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto the Christ;
O ry ondevoo, mivohora ami’ty mpifehe’ areo amy haondati’ey, le ihembaño naho ititititiho an-tsò-po, manahake t’ie i Norizañey;
6 Not by way of eye-service as man-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God, from the soul,
le ko mitoroñe am-pihainom-bei-lomboke, fe hoe ondevo’ i Norizañey, mitoloñe añ’ arofo ze satrin’ Añahare,
7 with good will, rendering service—as unto the Lord, and not unto men;
mitoroña am-pilozohañe hoe amy Talè fa tsy am’ondaty,
8 Knowing that, each one, whatsoever he may do that is good, the same, shall he receive back from the Lord, whether bond or free.
ie fohiñe te ndra iaia manao soa, ro ho valè’ i Talè, ke t’ie ondevo, he midada.
9 And ye masters, the same things, be doing towards them, forbearing your threat—knowing that, both their and your Master, is in the heavens, and, respect of persons, there is none, with him.
Ry talèo! ano manahak’ izay iereo; apoho ty fañembàñañe. Tiahio te andindìñe ao t’i Talè’ iareo naho ty azo, ie tsy mirihy.
10 For the rest, be empowering yourselves in the Lord, and in the grasp of his might:
Hengaha’e, mihaozara amy Talè naho ami’ty hafatrara’ i haozara’ey.
11 Put on the complete armour of God, with a view to your having power to stand against the strategies of the adversary;
Aombeo ty fikalañan’ Añahare fonitse, hatreatrè’areo ty famañahia’ i mpañìnjey;
12 Because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but, against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-holders, of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies. (aiōn g165)
amy te tsy mifandrapake ami’ty nofotse naho lio tika, fa amo mpifelekeo, amo aman-dilio, amo mpifeleke an-kamoromoroña’ ty voatse toio, vaho amo fañahin-karatiañe añ’aboo. (aiōn g165)
13 For this cause, take up the complete armour of God, in order that ye may receive power to withstand in the evil day, and, all things, having accomplished, to stand!
Aa le rambeso ze hene fikalan’ Añahare, hahafijohaña’o amy andro ratiy, le ie fonga nanoeñe, mijadoña.
14 Stand therefore, —having girded your loins with truth, and put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Mijohaña arè, ie fa nisadia ty hatò, naho niombe ty fikalañan’ arañan-kahitiañe,
15 And shod your feet with the readiness of the glad-message of peace;
vaho nihana ty fihentseñañe i talili-soam-pañanintsiñey,
16 With all, having taken up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall have power, all the ignited darts of the wicked one, to quench;
tovo’e, rambeso ty fikalandefom-patokisañe, hampikipefañe o ana-pale mibela’ i Ratio,
17 And, the helmet of salvation, welcome ye, and the sword of the spirit, which is what God hath spoken,
endeso ka ty sabakam-pandrombahañe naho ty fibara’ i Arofoy, toe i saontsin’ Añaharey,
18 With all prayer and supplication, praying in every season, in spirit, and, thereunto, watching, with all perseverance and supplication, for all the saints, —
vaho nainai’e mihalalia añ’arofo, an-doloke naho halaly iaby. Mijilova am-pigahiñañe naho am-pihalaliañe heneke ho a o fonga noro’eo.
19 And on behalf of me; —that, unto me, may be given discourse in the opening of my mouth, with freedom of utterance, to make known the sacred secret [of the glad-message]
Mihalalia ho ahy ka, t’ie ho tolorañe ty hahafitaroñe am-palie misokake, hahavany hampandrendreke ty tafatoño’ i talili-soay,
20 In behalf of which I am conducting an embassy in chains, that, therein, I may use freedom of utterance as it is needful for me to speak.
ie sorotà’e an-drohy; ihalalio te hahasibeke fitaroñe ami’ty fañeva’e.
21 In order, however, that, ye also, may know the things which relate to me—what I am accomplishing, —all things, shall Tychicus make known unto you, [he] the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord,
Aa, ty haharendreha’areo o fitoloñakoo naho ty amako, le i Tikiko, rahalahy sarotse naho mpitoroñe migahi’ i Talèy ro hampahafohiñe anahareo ze he’e.
22 Whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may get to know the things concerning us, and he may encourage your hearts.
Zay ty nañitrifako aze mb’ama’ areo añe, hitalilia’e anay naho hañoho o arofo’ areoo.
23 Peace unto the brethren, and love with faith, —from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
Fañanintsiñe amo rolongoo, naho fikokoañe am-patokisañe boak’ aman’ Añahare Rae naho Iesoà Talè Norizañey.
24 Favour be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptness.
Hasoa amy ze hene mpikoko i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey an-koko tsy modo. Amena.
