Colossians 4
1 Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
Nobasimalelo, amupe balanda benu chakululama achakweleka. Mbumwizi kuti anywebo mulijisi simalelo uli kujulu.
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,
Amujatisye kukomba, musungwalile nkuko akulumba.
3 as you pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.
Nkabela amutukombele aswebo, kuti Leza atujulile myeenya yajwi, kwamba makani masisike a Kkilisito. Nkambo kacheechi, ndilangidwe anketani.
4 Pray that I may declare it clearly, as I should.
Amukombe kuti nkakonzye kulungulula, mbunjelede kuyowamba.
5 Act wisely toward outsiders, redeeming the time.
Amweende chabusongo kulibaabo balaanze, amununune chiindi.
6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Kwamba kwenu akube kwaluzyalo lyoonse, kulweezegwe amwinyo wakulumba, kuti mube abusongo bwakuvwiila kabotu kubantu boonse.
7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.
Lino kumakani alatala andime, Tukiko mukwesu ulachita kuti mwazibe. Mukwesu uyandika, simulimoma musyomesi, muzikema mu Mwami.
8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.
Ndamutuma kulindinywe nkambo kacheechi, kuti amuzibye makani andiswe, akusungilizya myoyo yenu.
9 With him I am sending Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
Ndilamutuma antomwe a Onesimasi, ulisyomekede alimwi mukwesu uyandika, kali umwi wenu. Bayomuzibisya zyoonse zyakachitika okuno.
10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you greetings, as does Mark the cousin of Barnabas. You have already received instructions about him: If he comes to you, welcome him.
Alisitachasi, mwangema, ulokumujuzya, antomwe a Maakki, mwenzinyina wa Bbanabbasi (mulitambwide kale mulazyo wakuti, asika kulindinywe, mumutambule),
11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.
antomwe a Jesu uyiitwa kuti ngu Jusitasi, Abo boonse babupalule mbasimilimoma mumulimo wabwami bwa Leza. Mbibakali lumbulizyo lwamoyo wangu.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in the full will of God.
Epafulatasi ulokumujuzya loko. Nguumwi wenu alubo muzike wa Kkilsito Jesu. Ukkala kamwitilila munkombyo, kuchitila kuti mukiime chakuzulila akuba bwiini kulizyoonse muluyando lwa Leza.
13 For I testify about him that he goes to great pains for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.
Ndipa bukamboni kuti umubelekela chamanguzu, kuli aabo balimu Layodisiya, antomwe akulibaabo balimu Hilapolisi.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you greetings.
Lukka musilisi uyandika antomwe a Demasi balokumujuzya loko.
15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea, as well as Nympha and the church that meets at her house.
Mujuzye bakwesu balimu Layodisiya, aku Nimfu, embungano ilimu ng'anda yakwe.
16 After this letter has been read among you, make sure that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.
Olu lugwalo lwamana kubalwa kulindinywe, amuchite kuti lubalwe akulako kumbungano yabaku Layodikiya.
17 Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”
Amwambile Akkipa kuti, “Langa kabotu kumilimo njiwakatambula ku Mwami, kuti uyelede kuzuzikizya.”
18 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
Olu lujuzyo ndalulemba amaboko aangu - ndime Pawulu. Kamuyeeya inketani zyangu. Luzyalo alube anywebo.
