Jo-Kolosai 4
1 Un ruodhi mag pinyni, daguru gi wasumbini magu kuritogi maber kendo mowinjore nikech ungʼeyo ni un bende un gi Ruodhu e polo.
Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
2 Timuru kinda kuom lemo, kurito gi paro moyawore, kendo kugoyo erokamano ni Nyasaye.
Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
3 Wan bende lemnwauru mondo Nyasaye oyawnwa dhoot mar yalo Injili, kendo lando wach modhiero ji ngʼeyo mar Kristo momiyo koro otweya gi nyororo.
praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Meshikha, for which I am also in bonds;
4 Lemnauru mondo omiya ayale e yo maler kaka owinjore atim.
that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
5 Beduru gi rieko kuom joma odak e dieru kutiyo gi thuolo muyudo e yo maber.
Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6 Neuru ni wecheu obed mangʼwon man-gi ndhandhu kinde duto, mondo ungʼe kaka dudwoki ngʼato angʼata wach e yo mowinjore.
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord.
8 Aore iru mondo ungʼe kaka wachal, kendo mondo ojiw chunyu.

together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything that is going on here.

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner greets you, and Markos, the cousin of Bar-Naba (concerning whom you received commandments, "if he comes to you, receive him"),
11 Yesu, ma nyinge machielo en Justo, bende ooronu mos. Magi kende e jo-Yahudi wetena matiyo koda ni wach pinyruoth Nyasaye, kendo gisehoyo chunya e yore mangʼeny.
and Yeshua who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These are my only fellow workers for the Kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.
12 Epafra ma jathuru kendo ma misumba Kristo Yesu bende omosou. Osiko olemonu matek ma ok oywe, mondo omi uchungʼ motegno, e dwaro Nyasaye duto kendo ka un gi adiera chutho.
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Meshikha, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
17 Nyisuru Arkipo kama: “Ne ni itieko tich Ruoth mane omiyi.”
Tell Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have been given in the Lord."
