Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Vakulu nyenye, mvakitila vavanda vinu kwa ubwina na gala geigana Chapanga, kuni mkumbuka kuvya na nyenye muvi wa Bambu kunani kwa Chapanga.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Msindimala mkotoka kuleka kumuyupa Chapanga, na pemwiyupa mujiyangalila, na kumsengusa Chapanga.
3 praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds,
Mewawa, mutiyupila tete mewa muni Chapanga atidindulila mlyangu kukokosa ujumbi waki kuvala mfiyu wa Kilisitu. Ndava yeniyo nene nivili hinu muchifungu.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Hinu, ndi muniyupila muni nihotola kukokosa ujumbi wenuwo uvya hotohoto na ngati cheyiganikiwa.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Muvya na luhala chemwitama na vandu vangamsadika Kilisitu muhengela lihengu bwina lukumbi ulo lwemumivili nawu.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Malongesi ginu giganikiwa kuvya gabwina na gakutangatila vandu, na mganikiwa kumanya kumyangula kila mundu.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
Nikumtuma mlongo witu Tukiko mganu kwinu, muhenga lihengu mchakaka na mtumisi muyitu mulihengu la Bambu, yati akuvapela malovi gangu goha.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
Ndi ndava ya kumutuma kwinu muni avakangamalisa mitima yinu kwa kuvajovela malovi gitu.
9 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.
Ibwela pamonga na Onesimo, mlongo witu mganu na mchakaka, ndi mkolonjinji muyinu. Yati vakuvapela malovi ga mambu goha gegihengeka apa.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, “if he comes to you, receive him”),
Alistako, mweavi muchifungu, pamonga na nene, akuvajambusa, mewawa Maluko mlamu waki Banaba, mmali kulagaziwa ndava yaki akabwela kwinu mumkalibisa.
11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.
Na Yoshua mweikemiwa Yusto, akuvajambusa. Pagati ya Vayawudi mwapokili sadika, venava ndu, ndi vevihenga lihengu pamonga na nene ndava ya unkosi wa Chapanga, venavo ndi vevakunitangatila neju.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Epafla, mkolonjinji muyinu mtumisi wa Kilisitu Yesu, akuvajambusa. Magono goha akuvayupila nyenye kwa makakala muni muhotola kuyima chakukangamala, mkangala msadika hotohoto na mu mambu goha geigana Chapanga.
13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Nihotola kujova malovi ndava yaki kuvya ihenga lihengu kwa kukangamala ndava yinu na ndava ya vandu va Laodikea na Hilapoli.
14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
Nkozi witu mganu Luka yula mlamisa pamonga na Dema, vakuvajambusa.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
Jambusa yitu kwa valongo va Laodikea. Mumjambusa mlumbu Nimfa pamonga na vandu voha vevikonganeka kunyumba yaki, msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vakumjambusa.
16 When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
Mkamala kusoma balua yeniyo muvapela na vayinu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va Laodikea, na balua yenivayandikili vene vavapela nyenye muyisoma.
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
Mumjovela Alikipo lihengu leapewili na Bambu kuyihenga ayikamalisa.
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
Niyandika aga kwa chiwoko changu namwene, jambusa kuhuma kwangu nene Pauli. Mkumbuka kuvya nivili muchifungu! Nikuvaganila ubwina wa Chapanga uvya na nyenye Ena.
