Οἱ δοῦλοι, ὑπακούετε τοῖς κατὰ σάρκα κυρίοις μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου ἐν ἁπλότητι καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς τῷ Χριστῷ,
Servi, obedite dominis carnalibus cum timore et tremore, in simplicitate cordis vestri, sicut Christo :

cum bona voluntate servientes, sicut Domino, et non hominibus :

εἰδότες ὅτι ἕκαστος, ἐάν τι ποιήσῃ ἀγαθόν, τοῦτο κομίσεται παρὰ κυρίου, εἴτε δοῦλος εἴτε ἐλεύθερος.
scientes quoniam unusquisque quodcumque fecerit bonum, hoc recipiet a Domino, sive servus, sive liber.
እንዘ ተአምሩ ከመ ኵሉ ዘገብረ ሠናየ ይትዐሰይ በኀበ እግዚአብሔር እመኒ ነባሪ ወእመኒ አግዓዚ።
knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
6:9
Καὶ οἱ κύριοι, τὰ αὐτὰ ποιεῖτε πρὸς αὐτούς, ἀνιέντες τὴν ἀπειλήν, εἰδότες ὅτι καὶ αὐτῶν καὶ ὑμῶν ὁ κύριός ἐστιν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, καὶ προσωπολημψία οὐκ ἔστιν παρ’ αὐτῷ.
Et vos domini, eadem facite illis, remittentes minas : scientes quia et illorum et vester Dominus est in caelis : et personarum acceptio non est apud eum.
ወአጋእዝትኒ ዕሩየ ግበሩ ሎሙ እንዘ ታቈርሩ መዓተክሙ ወተኀድጉ ሎሙ አበሳሆሙ ተአምሩ ከመ ብክሙ እግዚእ በሰማያት ዘኢያደሉ ለገጽ።

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
6:12
ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἡ πάλη πρὸς αἷμα καὶ σάρκα, ἀλλὰ πρὸς τὰς ἀρχάς, πρὸς τὰς ἐξουσίας, πρὸς τοὺς κοσμοκράτορας τοῦ σκότους τούτου, πρὸς τὰ πνευματικὰ τῆς πονηρίας ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις.
quoniam non est nobis colluctatio adversus carnem et sanguinem, sed adversus principes, et potestates, adversus mundi rectores tenebrarum harum, contra spiritualia nequitiae, in caelestibus.
እስመ ቀትልክሙ ኢኮነ ምስለ ዘሥጋ ወደም ዘእንበለ ምስለ መኳንንተ ጽልመት ወአጋንንት እኩያን እለ መትሕተ ሰማይ።
For 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.
6:13
διὰ τοῦτο ἀναλάβετε τὴν πανοπλίαν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα δυνηθῆτε ἀντιστῆναι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πονηρᾷ καὶ ἅπαντα κατεργασάμενοι στῆναι.
Propterea accipite armaturam Dei, ut possitis resistere in die malo, et in omnibus perfecti stare.

Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
6:14
στῆτε οὖν περιζωσάμενοι τὴν ὀσφὺν ὑμῶν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι τὸν θώρακα τῆς δικαιοσύνης,
State ergo succincti lumbos vestros in veritate, et induti loricam justitiae,
ቁሙ እንከ ቀኒተክሙ ሐቌክሙ በጽድቅ ወልበሱ ልብሰ ሐጺን ዘጽድቅ።
Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
6:15
καὶ ὑποδησάμενοι τοὺς πόδας ἐν ἑτοιμασίᾳ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τῆς εἰρήνης,
et calceati pedes in praeparatione Evangelii pacis,
ተሥኢነክሙ ኀይለ ወንጌል ዘበሰላም።
and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,
6:16
ἐν πᾶσιν ἀναλαβόντες τὸν θυρεὸν τῆς πίστεως, ἐν ᾧ δυνήσεσθε πάντα τὰ βέλη τοῦ πονηροῦ τὰ πεπυρωμένα σβέσαι·
in omnibus sumentes scutum fidei, in quo possitis omnia tela nequissimi ignea extinguere :
ወምስለዝ ኵሉ ንሥኡ ንዋየ ሐቅል ዘሃይማኖት በዘትክሉ አጥፍኦተ ኵሉ አሕጻሁ ለእኩይ ርሱን።
above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
6:17
καὶ τὴν περικεφαλαίαν τοῦ σωτηρίου δέξασθε, καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν τοῦ πνεύματος, ὅ ἐστιν ῥῆμα θεοῦ,
et galeam salutis assumite, et gladium spiritus (quod est verbum Dei),

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
6:18
διὰ πάσης προσευχῆς καὶ δεήσεως προσευχόμενοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἐν πνεύματι, καὶ εἰς αὐτὸ ἀγρυπνοῦντες ἐν πάσῃ προσκαρτερήσει καὶ δεήσει περὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων,
per omnem orationem et obsecrationem orantes omni tempore in spiritu : et in ipso vigilantes in omni instantia et obsecratione pro omnibus sanctis :

with 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.

Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
6:20
ὑπὲρ οὗ πρεσβεύω ἐν ἁλύσει, ἵνα ἐν αὐτῷ παρρησιάσωμαι ὡς δεῖ με λαλῆσαι.
pro quo legatione fungor in catena, ita ut in ipso audeam, prout oportet me loqui.
ዘበእንቲኣሁ እተነብል ሙቁሕየ ከመ እንግር ገሃደ በእንቲኣሁ በከመ ይደሉ እንግር።
for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
6:21
Ἵνα δὲ καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰδῆτε τὰ κατ’ ἐμέ, τί πράσσω, πάντα γνωρίσει ὑμῖν Τυχικὸς ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἀδελφὸς καὶ πιστὸς διάκονος ἐν κυρίῳ,
