Colossians 4
1 You masters, supply your servants with what is just and equitable, knowing that you, too, have a Master in heaven.
Bino bankolo, bosungaka bawumbu na bino na nzela ya biloko ya sembo mpe ya solo, pamba te boyebi malamu ete bino mpe bozali na Mokonzi kati na Likolo.
2 Pursue prayer. Be watchful in prayer with acts of thanksgiving.
Bozalaka na molende ya kosambela, bosenzelaka mpe bozongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe.
3 Pray together, for us also, so that God may open a door of speech to us, so as to speak the mystery of Christ, (because of which, even now, I am in chains)
Bobondelaka mpe mpo na biso, na tina ete Nzambe apesa biso mabaku ya koteya Sango Malamu mpo na kosakola mabombami ya Klisto. Mpe ezali mpo na mabombami yango nde ngai nazali mokangami kati na boloko.
4 so that I may manifest it in the manner that I ought to speak.
Bobondelaka Nzambe mpo ete nasakola yango na polele nyonso, ndenge nasengeli penza kosala.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming this age.
Botambolaka na bwanya liboso ya bato oyo bazali bandimi te mpe bosalelaka tango na bino na ndenge ya malamu.
6 Let your speech be ever graceful, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to respond to each person.
Tika ete maloba na bino etondaka tango nyonso na boboto mpe na elengi, mpo ete boyeba ndenge nini koyanola moto nyonso.
7 As for the things that concern me, Tychicus, a most beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make everything known to you.
Tishike, ndeko molingami, mosali ya sembo mpe moninga na ngai kati na mosala ya Nkolo, akoyebisa bino makambo nyonso oyo etali ngai.
8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that he may know the things that concern you, and may console your hearts,
Ezali na tina yango nde nazali kotinda ye epai na bino, mpo ete apesa bino basango na tina na biso mpe alendisa bino.
9 with Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is from among you. They shall make known to you everything that is happening here.
Azali koya elongo na Onezime, ndeko molingami na biso ya solo, oyo azali moko kati na bino. Bakoyebisa bino makambo nyonso oyo ezali koleka awa.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as does Mark, the near cousin of Barnabas, about whom you have received instructions, (if he comes to you, receive him)
Arisitarke, moninga na ngai kati na boloko, atindeli bino mbote. Boyamba mpe mbote ya Malako, ndeko ya Barnabasi, oyo na tina na ye napesaki bino mitindo ete, soki ayei epai na bino, boyamba ye malamu.
11 and Jesus, who is called Justus, and those who are of the circumcision. These alone are my assistants, unto the kingdom of God; they have been a consolation to me.
Yesu oyo babengaka Jistisi atindeli bino mbote. Kati na Bayuda oyo bakomaki Baklisto, kaka bango nde bazali kosala elongo na ngai mpo na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, mpe bazali mpo na ngai kobondisama mobimba.
12 Epaphras greets you, who is from among you, a servant of Christ Jesus, ever solicitous for you in prayer, so that you may stand, perfect and complete, in the entire will of God.
Epafrasi, ye oyo azali mpe moko kati na bino mpe mowumbu ya Yesu-Klisto, atindeli bino mbote. Abundaka tango nyonso etumba mpo na bino kati na mabondeli, mpo ete botelema ngwi lokola bato oyo bakembi kati na kondima mpe baselingwa mpo na kokokisa mokano nyonso ya Nzambe.
13 For I offer testimony to him, that he has labored greatly for you, and for those who are at Laodicea, and for those at Hierapolis.
Nazali kotatola solo mpo na ye ete azali kosala mosala makasi mpo na bino, mpo na bandeko ya Laodise mpe mpo na bandeko ya Iyerapolisi.
14 Luke, a most beloved physician, greets you, as does Demas.
Monganga Luka, molingami na biso, mpe Demasi batindeli bino mbote.
15 Greet the brothers who are at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and those who are at his house, a church.
Bopesa mbote epai ya bandeko ya Laodise, epai ya Nefa mpe epai ya Lingomba oyo esanganaka kati na ndako na ye.
16 And when this epistle has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and you should read that which is from the Laodiceans.
Soki bosilisi kotanga mokanda oyo, bosala ete etangama mpe kati na Lingomba ya Laodise; bongo bino mpe botanga oyo ekowuta na Laodise.
17 And tell Archippus: “See to the ministry that you have received in the Lord, in order to fulfill it.”
Boloba na Arshipe: « Sala keba na lotomo oyo ozwaki kati na Nkolo mpo ete okokisa yango malamu. »
18 The greeting of Paul by my own hand. Remember my chains. May grace be with you. Amen.
Ngai Polo, napesi bino mbote na kokoma yango na maboko na ngai. Bobosanaka te ete nazali mokangami kati na boloko. Tika ete ngolu ezala na bino!
