Ephesians 6
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
1ʻAe fānau, mou talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻa ʻi he ʻEiki: he ʻoku totonu eni.
2Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
2“Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē;” ko e ʻuluaki fekau ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae talaʻofa;
3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
3“Koeʻuhi ke lelei kiate koe, pea koeʻuhi ke ke moʻui fuoloa ai ʻi he fonua.”
4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
4Pea ko kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi tamai, ʻoua naʻa mou fakatupu lili ki hoʻomou fānau: kae tauhi ʻakinautolu ʻi he akonaki mo e fakapoto ki he ʻEiki.
5Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
5ʻAe kau tamaioʻeiki, mou talangofua ki homou ngaahi ʻeiki fakamaama, ʻi he manavahē mo e tetetete, ʻi he fakamoʻomoʻoni ʻo homou loto, ʻo hangē ko e fai kia Kalaisi;
6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
6ʻIkai ʻi he ngāue fakamamata pē, ʻo hangē ko e kau fakamālie ki he tangata; kae taau mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Kalaisi, ʻo fai ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua mei he loto;
7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
7ʻO fai loto lelei pe ʻae ngāue, ki he ʻEiki, kae ʻikai ki he tangata:
8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
8Pea ʻilo ko e ngāue lelei ko ia ʻe taki taha fai ʻe he tangata, ko ia ia te ne maʻu mei he ʻEiki, pe ko ha pōpula ia pe ko e tauʻatāina.
9And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
9Pea ko kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki, ke mou fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻo tuku ʻa e faʻa tautea: he ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ai homou ʻEiki ʻi he langi; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ha filifilimānako.
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
10Ngata, ʻe hoku kāinga, mou mālohi ʻi he ʻEiki, pea ʻi he lahi ʻo ʻene māfimafi.
11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
11ʻAi kiate kimoutolu ʻae mahafutau kotoa ʻoe ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke mou faʻa tuʻu hake ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni kākā ʻae tēvolo.
12For 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 .
12He ʻoku ʻikai ko ʻetau fangatua mo e kakano mo e toto, ka ki he ngaahi pule, mo e ngaahi mālohi, mo e kau pule ʻoe fakapoʻuli ʻoe māmani, mo e kau laumālie kovi ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻi ʻolunga.
13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
13Ko ia ke toʻo ʻae mahafutau kotoa ʻoe ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke mou faʻa tuʻu ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kovi, pea hili hono ikuʻi kotoa pē, kae tuʻu pe.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
14Ko ia ke mou tuʻu kuo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻae konga loto, pea ʻai ki he fatafata ʻae sifa ko e māʻoniʻoni;
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
15Pea mou topuvaʻe ʻaki ʻae teuteu ʻoe ongoongolelei ʻoe melino;
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
16Ai kituʻa ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae pā ʻoe tui, ʻaia te mou faʻa tāmate ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ngahau vela kotoa pē ʻoe tokotaha kovi.
17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
17Pea ʻai mo e tatā ʻoe fakamoʻui, mo e heletā ʻoe Laumālie, ʻaia ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua:
18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
18ʻO lotu maʻuaipē ʻi he ngaahi lotu kotoa pē mo e lotu tāumaʻu ʻi he Laumālie, pea leʻo ki ai ʻi he faʻa fakakukafi, mo e hūfia ʻae kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē;
19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
19Pea koeʻuhi ko au, ke foaki ʻae lea kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u mafaʻa mālohi pe hoku ngutu, ke u fakaʻilo atu ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻoe ongoongolelei,
20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
20ʻAia kuo haʻisia ai au ko hono faifekau: koeʻuhi ke u lea mālohi ai au, ʻo taau mo e lea ʻoku totonu.
21But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
21Ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻoku kau kiate au, mo ia ʻoku ou fai, ko Tikiko, ko e kāinga ʻofeina mo e faifekau angatonu ʻi he ʻEiki, ʻe fakaʻilo ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu:
22Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
22ʻAia kuo u fekau atu ai ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻemau nofo ni, pea koeʻuhi ke ne fakafiemālie ki homou loto.
23Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
23Ke ʻi he ngaahi kāinga ʻae melino, mo e ʻofa, mo e tui, mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai pea mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
24Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
24Ke ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻofa moʻoni ki hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.
