¹Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

¹Naupangte aw, Toupa ah na nute uleh na pate uh thu mang un: huai tuh thil dik ahi ngala.

²“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:

²Na nu leh na pa zahtak in, (hiai tuh thupiak chiam nei masapen a hi),

³“that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.” Deuteronomy 5:16

³Huchiin nang adingin a hoih dia, lei ah leng na dam sawt ding hi.

⁴You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

⁴Huan, nou pate aw, na tate uh hihthangpai kei unla, Toupa thuzohna ah leh hilhna ah kem jaw un.

⁵Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;

⁵Sikhate aw, Kris thumang bangin laudansiam leh linga lungtang khatin sa dana na pute uh thu mang un:

⁶not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

⁶Mihing hihkipakte maimah banga mitmei kia veng louin, Kris sikha banga lungtanga Pathian deihlam hih jawin,

⁷with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;

⁷Mihing nasem phet hi louin, Toupa nasem bang jawa chitaktak kawma nasemin,

⁸knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.

⁸Mi chihin thil hoih a hih chiat peuhmah uh Toupa kianga kipanin a ngei mah a mu nawn ding uh chih theiin, bawi hiam, bawi louin hiam himahleh.

⁹You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

⁹Huan, nou heutute aw, huchimahbangin, amau leh noumau Heutupa tuh van ah a om chih leh, aman mi deihsak tuam a neikei chih theiin vau louin a tunguah hih sam un.

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

¹⁰A tawppenin, Toupa ah leh a hatna thagui ah thilhihtheihna neiin hongom un.

¹¹Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

¹¹Diabol zekhemnate na dou zoh theihna ding un Pathian galvan kimin kivan un.

¹²For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

¹²I doute jaw sa leh sisan ahi ngal kei ua, lalnate leh, thuneihna te leh, tu -a omlel mial tunga khovel vaihawmte leh, van mun khawnga kha gilouhon omte ahi jaw uhi.

¹³Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

¹³Huaijiakin, ni hoih loua na dou zohna ding un leh na hihzoh vek nung ua leng na din theihna ding un, Pathian galvan kim la un.

¹⁴Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁴Huan, na kawng uh thutaka gakin, diktatna awmphaw zangin,

¹⁵and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;

¹⁵Lemna tanchin hoih vanzat tuh na khe ua bunin ding un:

¹⁶above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.

¹⁶Huaite ban ah ginna lum la unla, huaiin mi gilou thal kuangthei tengteng na hihmit thei ding uhi.

¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word from Greek rhema, which means spoken word of God;

¹⁷Huan, hotdamna lukhu leh Kha namsau, Pathian thu la unla.

¹⁸with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

¹⁸Thumna leh ngetna chitengin bangchik laipeuhin leng Khaah thum un. Huailam pangah tuh misiangthou tengteng adingin phatuamngai leh ngen bilbelin limsak un;

¹⁹on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

¹⁹Tanchin hoih thuguk hangsan taka theisak dinga, ka kam ka kata thugen saka ka om theihna dingin kei dingin leng honnget sak un.

²⁰for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁰Ka gen ding bang hangsan taka ka gen theihna dingin. Huai tanchin hoih palai khainiang bun ka hi.

²¹But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things;

²¹Himahleh, nou leng bangchibanga ka om, ka tanchin na theihtheihna ding un, Taikika, Toupaa unau deihtak leh nasempa muanhuaiin bangkim a honthei sak ding.

²²whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.

²²Huaijiakin amah na kiang uah ka honsawl ahi, ka tanchin uh na theihna ding uh leh, aman na lungtang uh a khamuan sak theihna dingin.

²³Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²³Pa Pathian leh Toupa Jesu kris kianga kipan lemna leh ginna tel itna unaute kiangah om hen.I Toupa Jesu Kris tul loua itte tengteng kiangah hehpihna om hen. Amen.

²⁴Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.

²⁴I Toupa Jesu Kris tul loua itte tengteng kiangah hehpihna om hen. Amen.
