Ephesians 6
1 you who [are] Children, do obey the parents of you in [the] Lord; this for is right.
E nga tamariki, kia ngohengohe ki o koutou matua i roto i te Ariki: ko te mea tika hoki tenei.
2 do honor the Father of you and mother, which is [the] commandment first with a promise,
Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; ko te ture tuatahi tenei i runga i te kupu whakaari,
3 that well with you it may be and you will be long-lived upon the earth.
Kia hua ai te pai ki a koe, kia roa ai hoki tou noho i te whenua.
4 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.
Me koutou hoki, e nga matua, kei whakapataritari i a koutou tamariki kia riri; engari whakatupuria ake ratou i runga i te whakaako, i te whakatupato a te Ariki.
5 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.
E nga pononga, kia ngohengohe ki o koutou rangatira o te wahi ki te kikokiko, me te wehi, me te wiri, i runga i te ngakau tapatahi, ano ki a te Karaiti;
6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers but as servants of Christ doing the will of God from [the] heart
Kaua hei ta te kanohi mahi, hei whakamanawareka tangata noa; engari hei ta nga pononga a te Karaiti, e mahi a ngakau ana i ta te Atua i pai ai;
7 with good will rendering service as to the Lord and not to men,
Kia mahi i runga i te whakaaro pai, ano ki te Ariki, kahore ki te tangata:
8 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.
Kia matau hoki, ko te pai e mea ai te tangata, ka whakawhiwhia mai ano ia ki tenei e te Ariki, ahakoa pononga, ahakoa rangatira.
9 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.
E nga rangatira, kia pera ano hoki ta koutou ki a ratou; kati te whakawehi: kia matau hoki ko to koutou Ariki me to ratou kei te rangi; kahore hoki ana whakapai kanohi.
10 (Henceforth *N+kO) (brothers of mine *K) do be empowered in [the] Lord and in the strength of the might of Him.
Heoi, kia kaha i roto i te Ariki, i te mana hoki o tona kaha.
11 do put on the complete armor of God for to be able you to stand against the schemes of the devil;
Kakahuria iho nga mea whawhai katoa a te Atua, kia taea ai e koutou nga mahi tinihanga a te rewera te tu ki te riri.
12 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 (age *K) this, against the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly realms. (aiōn g165)
Ehara hoki ta tatou i te pakanga ki te kikokiko, ki nga toto, engari ki nga rangatiratanga, ki nga mana, ki nga ariki o te pouri o tenei ao, ki nga taua wairua kino o nga wahi i te rangi. (aiōn g165)
13 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.
Mo konei kia mau ki nga mea whawhai katoa a te Atua, kia taea ai e koutou te tu atu ki te riri i te ra kino, a ka poto i a koutou nga mea katoa te mahi, kia tu.
14 do stand therefore having girded the loins of you with truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness
E tu ra, he mea whitiki o koutou hope ki te pono, kakahuria iho ano hoki ko te tika hei pukupuku;
15 and having shod the feet with [the] readiness of the gospel of peace;
Herea iho te rongopai o te rangimarie hei hu mo o koutou waewae, kia takatu ai;
16 (besides *N+kO) 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;
Mo waho i enei mea katoa e mau ki te whakapono hei whakangungu rakau, e taea ai e koutou te tinei nga matia muramura katoa a te wairua kino.
17 And the helmet of salvation (do take *NK+O) and the sword of the Spirit which is declaration of God;
E mau hoki ki te ora hei potae, ki te hoari hoki a te Wairua, ara ki te kupu a te Atua.
18 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
Kia pau te inoi me te tohe, me inoi i nga wa katoa i roto i te Wairua, kia mataara hoki koutou ki taua mea, me te u tonu ki te tohe mo te hunga tapu katoa;
19 and also for me, that to me (may be given *N+kO) divine utterance in [the] opening of the mouth of mine with boldness to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Moku ano hoki, kia homai he kupu ki ahau, kia maia ai te puaki o toku mangai, ki te whakaatu i te mea ngaro, ara i te rongopai;
20 for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may be bold as it behooves me to speak.
Ko tana karere nei ahau, he mea mekameka; kia maia ai ahau ki taua korero, kia rite ai taku korero ki te mea i tika.
21 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,
Na, kia matau ai koutou ki akau mea, ki aku mahi, ma Tikiku e whakaatu nga mea katoa ki a koutou, he teina aroha nei ia, he minita pono i roto i te Ariki.
22 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.
Mo reira i tonoa atu ai ia e ahau ki a koutou, kia matau ai koutou ki to matou ahua, a kia whakamarietia ai e ia o koutou ngakau.
23 Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Kia tau ki nga teina te rangimarie, te aroha, me te whakapono, he mea na te Atua Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
24 Grace [be] with all those loving the Lord of us Jesus Christ in incorruptibility (to Ephesian it was written from Rome through Tychicus. *K)
Kia tau te aroha noa ki te hunga katoa e aroha ana, he aroha parakore, ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti. Amine.
