6:1 Nulepa upat tu ih (Kihzah upathnak le thupe sanghnak): Mirang bible (NASB, NIV, le NLT) hemi translation te ah tu, siarhnak 1 ah, “nunlepa thu ngai tuih” tiin um ai, siarhnak 2 ah “nulepa upat tuih” tiin um i. Ikhalselai, Zanniat Bible 2018 ah “nunlepa upat tuh ih” tiin, um veve i.

Pangahnak in pahrak (a benhnak), thupete sik ilesingkhaw minung le minung karlak pehzom dunhnak thute i (Luatsuakhnak 20:12-17). Laivum minungte karlak pehzom dunhnak thupete heh, “Nulepa upattu” tihnak in thok i (Luatsuakhnak 20:12a). Ciamanin, hetaah Paul in, “thu pehnak a hmasaber i” tiin, ngaisung sah thil i (Efesa6:3b). Thupe pahra songai minung le minung pehzom dunhnak thu ah nulepa upat kihzahhnak heh a hmasaber in thok manin a thupuiber tiin ruat thil i. David Guzik in Foulkes ai relhnak sirhsan in innsang kongcung hetih in ngan i: “Innsang ah remhnak umlo fangin nulepate heh kihzah upathnak co thil nawnlo i. Ciatihin innsang pawlkom heh siatsuah vivo ai, hnuataber ah hnawm ralhnak ah hleng thai i.”[1] Ikhalselai, nulepa kihzah upathnak pethiamtu fate heh san sau in nung tuh i (Luatsuakhnak 20:12b).

Ciabang kongcungte ah nulepate in fate daihdan (or) fate kulhnak heh lingthiam sio banlohnak um thai tihnak heh ralring kul ve i.
Ikhalselai, Pathian thu kongcungah tu nulepate in fate heh konghoi tuh hrimhrim hnak i. Paul in a tihnak ponka sik ilesingkhaw, Khrihfa nuncan ziaza le zir dunhnak thawn cawm tuih tiin, ti i (Efesa 6:4b).
