Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants what is just and equal, for you know that you have a Master in heaven.
Bawinaw, nangmae Bawi teh kalvan vah ao tie panuek awh nateh, na sannaw koe kahman lah, kahawi e hno sak awh.
2 Persevere in prayer, and be watchful in the same with thanksgiving;
Pou ratoum awh nateh, lunghawilawkdeinae hoi khenyawn awh.
3 praying at the same time also for us, that God may open for us a door of utterance to speak the mystery of the Christ, for which I am in bonds,
Kai teh Khrih e hrolawk kecu dawk sumrui hoi katek lah ka o dawkvah,
4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Hote hrolawk hah pâpho nahanelah Cathut ni takhang a paawng nahan, hote hrolawk teh pâpho hane kawi lah ao dawkvah, ka pâpho thai nahan, kaimouh hane lahai ratoum awh.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are without, redeeming the time.
Alawilae taminaw e minhmai khet laihoi, lungangnae lahoi kâroe awh nateh, atueng hah hno panuek awh.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every one.
Tami pueng bangtelane let ka pato han tie na panue thai awh nahan, nangmae na lawk dei e teh palawi patetlah paan sak awh nateh, pout laipalah lungmanae lah pou awm naseh.
7 All that relates to me, Tychicus, my beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord, will make known to you.
Bawipa dawk yuemkamcu e, Bawipa e a san lah rei kaawm awh e, ka lungpataw e ka nawngha Taisikas ni kaie a konglam kaawm e pueng teh na dei pouh han doeh.
8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your condition, and comfort your hearts;
Ahni teh nangmae konglam koung a panue dawkvah nangmouh lung na pahawi nahanlah,
9 I have sent him with Onesimus, my faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known all things that are done here.
nangmouh thung e yuemkamcu e hoi ka lungpataw e ka nawngha Onesimus hoi ahni teh reirei a tho roi han. Ahnimouh roi ni hie khothung e kamthang pueng hah nangmouh koe a dei roi han.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, salutes you, and so does Marcus the nephew of Barnabas, concerning whom you received commandments; if he come to you, receive him;
Kai hoi thongim rei ka bawt e Aristarkas, Barnabas e a pahringca Mark, Justus telah a kaw awh e Jisuh tinaw ni kut na man awh. Mark hanelah nangmouh koe lawk na thui awh toe. Nangmouh koe a tho toteh dawn awh.
11 Jesus also, who is called Justus, salutes you: these are of the circumcision: and these only are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.
Vuensom a lah kaawm e naw dawkvah, ahnimouh dueng doeh Cathut uknaeram hanelah kai hoi reirei ka tawk e lah kaawm niteh, ka lung ahawi sak awh.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you; he always strives earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Nangmouh thung e Khrih Jisuh e a san Epaphras ni nangmanaw kut na man awh. Nangmouh na cue awh teh, Cathut ngainae dawk kacaklah na kangdue awh nahan, nangmouh hanelah a kâyawm teh ouk a ratoum.
13 For I testify for him, that he has a great zeal for you and those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.
Ahni teh nangmouh hane hoi, Laodicea kho kaawmnaw hane hoi, Hierapolis kho kaawmnaw hanelah a lung ka tho roeroe e doeh titeh kai ni ka kampangkhai.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, salute you.
Ka lungpataw e tâsibawi Luk hoi Demas ni kut na man awh.
15 Salute the brethren in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.
Laodicea kho kaawm e hmaunawnghanaw, Nimpha hoi ahni im kaawm e kawhmoun hah kutman awh.
16 And when this letter has been read among you, cause that it be read in the church of the Laodiceans also; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea;
Hete ca heh, nangmouh ni na touk awh hnukkhu vah, Laodicea kawhmoun hai touk sak awh. Hote kho koehoi e ca hai nangmouh ni touk van awh.
17 and say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.
Arkhippas koe hai, Bawipa koehoi na coe e thaw hah, kuep sak nahanelah kâhruetcuet loe tet pouh awh.
18 The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
Kai Pawl ni nangmouh kutmannae ca hah ka mae kut hoi ka thut. Ka khang e kateknae hah pahnim awh hanh. A lungmanae nangmouh koe awm lawiseh. Amen.
