Colossians 4
1 Masters, render unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
Yaa gooftota, isinis akka samii irraa Gooftaa qabdan waan beektaniif, garboota keessan qajeelummaa fi wal qixxummaadhaan bulchaa.
2 Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;
Warra dammaqanii galateeffatan taʼuudhaan kadhannaatti jabaadhaa.
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;
Nu icciitii Kiristoos kan ani isaaf jedhee hidhamee jiru sana akka lallabnuuf Waaqni balbala dubbichaa akka nuu banu nuufis kadhadhaa.
4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Anis akka narraa eegamutti ibsee akkan lallabuuf naa kadhadhaa.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
Baricha furuudhaan warra alaa wajjin hubannaadhaan jiraadhaa.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.
Tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif akkamitti akka deebii kennitan akka beektaniif dubbiin keessan yeroo hunda ayyaanaan kan guutame, soogiddaanis kan miʼeeffame haa taʼu.
7 All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:
Xikiqoos oduu waaʼee kootii hunda isinitti ni hima. Inni obboleessa jaallatamaa, tajaajilaa amanamaa fi Gooftaatti garbicha hidhata koo taʼee dha.
8 whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts;
Anis akka isin haala nu keessa jirru beektanii fi akka inni garaa keessan jajjabeessuuf gara keessanitti isa ergeera.
9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things that [are done] here.
Innis obboleessa keenya amanamaa fi jaallatamaa isa garee keessan keessaa tokko taʼe Oneesimoos wajjin dhufa. Isaanis waan asitti taʼaa jiru hundumaa isinitti himu.
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),
Arisxirokoos inni na wajjin hidhamee jiru nagaa isinii dhaama; Maarqos durbiin Barnaabaasis akkanuma nagaa isinii dhaama. Waaʼee isaas ajajni, “Yoo inni gara keessan dhufe isa simadhaa” jedhu isin gaʼeera.
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.
Yesuus inni Yoosxoos jedhamus akkasuma nagaa isinii dhaama. Warra dhagna qabatan keessaas kanneen na wajjin mootummaa Waaqaatiif hojjetan isaanuma qofa; isaanis jajjabina guddaa naa taʼaniiru.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.
Ephaafiraan inni isin keessaa tokko taʼee fi tajaajilaan Kiristoos Yesuus nagaa isinii dhaama. Innis akka isin fedhii Waaqaa hundaan bilchaatoo fi guutuu taatanii jabaattanii dhaabattaniif yeroo hunda kadhannaadhaan isinii dadhabaa jira.
13 For I bear him witness, that he hath much labor for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis.
Ani akka inni isiniif, warra Lodooqiyaa fi magaalaa Heraapoolis jiraniifis hinaaffaa gaarii qabu dhugaa nan baʼaaf.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you.
Luqaas ogeessi fayyaa michuun keenya jaallatamaanii fi Deemaas nagaa isinii dhaamu.
15 Salute the brethren that are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in their house.
Obboloota Lodooqiyaa jiranitti, akkasumas Niimfaa fi waldaa kiristaanaa kan mana ishee jirtutti nagaa naa himaa.
16 And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye also read the epistle from Laodicea.
Erga xalayaan kun isinii dubbifamee booddee waldaa Kiristaanaa Lodooqiyaatti akka dubbifamu godhaa; isinis xalayaa Lodooqiyaadhaa dhufu dubbifadhaa.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
Arkiphaadhaanis, “Hojii Gooftaadhaan sitti kenname sana akka xumurtu mirkaneeffadhu” jedhaa.
18 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
Ani Phaawulos, xalayaa nagaa kana harkuma kootiin barreessa. Hidhamuu koo yaadadhaa. Ayyaanni isin wajjin haa taʼu.
