Colossians 4
1 Masters, render unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
Mabwana, mpisyai kwabhatumwa mambo ghahalai ni ghamaadili. Mmanyili kujobha myele ni Bwana wa kumbinguni.
2 Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;
Myendelelai kuya ngangali kup'etela maombi mtamai mihu kup'etela ele kwa hukrani.
3 withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;
Msomayi kwapamonga kwa ajili ya yh'oto, ili kwa ndabha Kyala afungulai ndyangu kwajili ya lilobhi, kujobha Siri sauukweli sa Kristu. Kwandabha ya ele nifungibhu minyororo.
4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Na msomayi ili kulibheka wazi, kama kayilondeka kujobha.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
Mlotayi kwa hekima kwa bhala bhabhayele kwibhala, na muuokolai muda.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.
Malobhi ghayomo ghayela ni neema muda bhuowa, na ghakolelayi mwinyu muda bhuowa, ili kwa ndabha mubhesiyayi kumanya jinsi kakitakiwa kumjibu kila munu.
7 All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:

8 whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts;
Ni kantuma kwayomo kwa jili ya ele, ili mubhwesiyayi kumanya mambo kuhusu tete nikabhele abhesyayi kutup'ela muoyo.

Nikantuma pamonga ni Onesmo ndongho bhitu mpendwa na wa kuaminika, ni njinu mmonga. Bhilota kubhajobela kila kinu kakihomili apa.
10 Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (touching whom ye received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him),

11 and Jesus that is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only [are my] fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, men that have been a comfort unto me.

Barua eye payilota kusomibhwa miongoni mwah mwenga, isomiwayi kabhele nimulikanisa la bhalaodekia, ni muenga mmhakikisyai barua eye mkaisoma yayihomela Laodekia.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
Jobha kwa Akripo, “Langai huduma ya upokila mugati mwah Bwana, yayilondeka kuitimisya. “
18 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
Salamu eye ni kwa kibhoko kya nene nayhoni-Paulo. Muikombhokai minyororo yanene. Ni neema iyelai ni muenga.
