Colossians 4
1 Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
Changte wah loong, sen dah loong ah ladande thang ih ese lam nah naririh ih siit an. Samthun et an sendi uh rangmong ni sen Changte wah ah eje.
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,
Saarookwih rangsoom an, nyia rangsoom an doh banban ih tong an, Rangte suh lakookmi li damdoh ah.
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.
Erah damdoh seng suh uh rangsoom kohe, eno ba Rangte ih heh tiitkhaap baat raangtaan ih saapoot ese, Kristo husah tiit ah baattaan suh chokohe. Amadi ngah ah phaatak ni erah thoih ju tonglang.
4 Pray that I may declare it clearly, as I should.
Erah raangtaan ih ngah ih mamet baatjih ah erah toom mi dan baat angsuh rangsoom an.
5 Act wisely toward outsiders, redeeming the time.
Sen loong ah lahanpiite loong miksok doh sen reeraang pakna saapoot ese cholan pootdoh ejat mongtham lam ih noisok theng.
6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Sen jengkhaap ah tenroonjih nyia mih ih nookchaat jih ih jeng theng, eno sen ih jat etheng mih suh mamah lamdoh epun ah mi ngaakbaat theng rah ah.
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.
Seng joonwah Tiichikas, Teesu mootkaat ni tuungmaang lam ih mote wah nyia heh laksuh warah ih nga ruurang tiit ah baat kohan.
8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.
Erah thoih ih ngah ih heh ah sen jiinni daapkaat halang, seng mamah kah ih reeraang ih loong ah baat kohanno toomroon thuk han suh ah.
9 With him I am sending Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
Heh damdoh seng joonte, sengdung dowa Onismas seng mongnook nyia seng tuungmaang theng ah roong raaha. Nengnyi ih aani tumjih angla tiit loong ah baat kokaat han.
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.
Nga damdi phaatak ni roong tongte wah Eristarkas nyia Barnasbas nuruung Maak ih uh jengkhaapse maatkaat halan. (Sen hah lam nah Maak mok raaha bah heh ah mamet noppoon theng ah erah ejen chaat baata etan nih.)
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.
Josua men ah Jastas eh uh poon et ha, erah warah ih uh jengkhaapse maat halan. Jehudi dung nawa hanpiite arah wajom ah luulu ba nga damdi Rangte Hasong raang ih roong mootkaatte ah, neng ih ngah rapne ju kah ih chosok rum kohang.
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.
Sengdung nawa wasiit Epapras jiin nawa uh jengkhaapse maat halan, heh uh esiit Jisu Kristo laksuh ih mootte. Heh ih larit haat thang ih saarookwih Rangte suh rang ban soom ruh eha, sen loong ah Kristo mina jun ih rongkopkop nyia Rangte jeng chaatchaat ang raangtaan suh ah.
13 For I testify about him that he goes to great pains for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.
Nga jiinko nawa ih ejen baat ih rumha sen loong raang ih, eno Lidosia nyia Hiirapolis mina loong raang ih Epapras ah rapne ju ih chekbek moh kota.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you greetings.
Seng mongnook, Phonwah Luk, nyia Demas ih uh sen suh jengkhaapse maat halan.
15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea, as well as Nympha and the church that meets at her house.
Lidosia nawa hanpiite loong nyia Nyampha nyia chaas mina heh nok nawa loong suh seng ih jengkhaapse raajengli ah baat koh an.
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.
Arah le ah sen ih jen weh an lidoh, Lidosia chaas nah uh rootroot ih we koh theng. Erah damdam ih marah Lidosia hanpiite loong ih maatwanha le ah uh sen ih ewetkot etheng.
17 Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”
Erah dam ih Arkipas suh baat an, “Sen ih marah Teesu mootkaat moh thuktan erah rootroot toom ih thoon moh ah.”
18 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
Nga laklak ih raanghang arah ah: Pool jiin nawa jengkhaapse Ngah jaanruh ih khak halang ah nak beehaat an! Rangte tenthet ah sen damdoh toom ang ha.
