Colossians 4
1 Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
Bhakulungwanji bha bhatumwa, mwaatendelanje bhatumwa bhenunji aki na uguja, nnikumumanyanga kuti, nkali mmanganyanji nkwetenje Bhakulungwa kunnungu.
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,
Nnonjeyanje kaje nkujuga nnaiibhukanje, na mwaatendelanje eja a Nnungu.
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.
Ntujujilanje na uwe, nkupinga a Nnungu bhatupe malanga ga lunguya lilobhe lyabho, tushumye indu ya nng'iyo ya a Kilishitu, numbe kwa ligongo lya yeneyo, nne njitabhwa.
4 Pray that I may declare it clearly, as I should.
Kwa nneyo nnyujilanje kupinga ngombole kulunguya ga indu ya nng'iyo malinga shingupinjikwa.
5 Act wisely toward outsiders, redeeming the time.
Ntamangananje kwa lunda na bhandunji bhangalinginji ngulupai jimo na mmanganyanji, nnikugakamulilanga liengo ukoto, malanga gumpegwilwenje.
6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Mobha gowe malobhe genunji ganapinjikwa gabhe ga mboka, na ga pwaa, nkupinga mmumanyanje namuna ja kunnjangula kila mundu.
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.
A Tikiko, apwetu bha mmbone, bhatumishi bha kulupalika na ajangu nniengo lya Bhakulungwa, shibhantashiyanje ngani jangu nne jowe.
8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.
Njikwaatuma kweneko kwa ligongo lya genego, nkupinga nngamanyanje getu uwe, na bhantaganje ntima.
9 With him I am sending Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
Bhanakwiya pamo na a Oneshimushi apwetu bha mmbone na bha kulupalika, numbe ni bhashilambo ajenunji. Bhene bhanganyabho shibhantalashiyanje indu yowe itendeka kunngwetu kuno.
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.
A Alishitako bhatabhilwe pamo na nne, bhanakunnjumushilanga, pamo na a Maliko aibhani bhabho a Bhanabha, bhumwaposhelenje malajilo ga bhenebho, bhaikaga kweneko mwaaposhelanje.
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.
Na a Yoshua bhaashemwa a Yushitushi, nneila peila bhanakunnjumushilanga, bhene bhanganya pebha ni bhalinginji Bhayaudi, munkumbi gwa bhaakamulanga maengo pamo na nne, kwa ligongo lya upalume gwa a Nnungu, na bhashindaganga ntima kwa kaje.
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.
A Epapula bhashilambo ajenunji na bhatumishi bha a Yeshu Kilishitu bhanakunnjumushilanga, mobha gowe bhanakunjujilanga gwangali totoshela, nkupinga ntamangananje kwa kamilika, na nkombolanje kwa kaje kutenda yowe ipinjikwa na a Nnungu.
13 For I testify about him that he goes to great pains for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.
Bhai ngunakong'ondela kuti bhanakamula liengo kwa tumbila, kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji, na lya bhalinginji ku Laodikia na bhalinginji ku Ilapolishi.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you greetings.
Ambwiga ajetu a Luka a dakitali bhala, na a Dema bhanakunnjumushilanga.
15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea, as well as Nympha and the church that meets at her house.
Mwaajumushilanje ashaapwetu bha ku Laodikia na a Nimpa na bhandunji bha likanisha bhaimananga nnyumba jabho.
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.
Jene bhaluwa jino jishomwaga na mmanganyanji, mwaapanganje na bha likanisha lya ku Laodikia bhajishomanje, na mmanganyanji nshomanje bhaluwa ja kopoka ku Laodikia.
17 Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”
Mwaabhalanjilanje a Alikipo, bhatende ukoto nkukamilisha liengo libhapegwilwe na Bhakulungwa.
18 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
Nne a Pauli, ngujandika shene shalamu shino kwa nkono gwangu. Nkumbushilanje kuti muni nkutabhwa. Nema ya a Nnungu ibhe na mmanganyanji.
