Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to bondmen what is just and fair, knowing that ye also have a Master in [the] heavens.
Godato, hinttewuka qassi salon Goday de7eyssa eridi, hintte aylletas xillotethaninne issuwa issuwafe shaakkonna koshshiyabaa oothite.
2 Persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Xoossaa barkkidi galatishe qanxonna woossite.
3 praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door of the word to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I am bound,
Xoossay ba qaalas pengge dooyana melanne taani hessa gaason qashon de7iya Kiristtoosa xuuraa awaajjana mela nuuskka woossite.
4 to the end that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
Qassi takka besseyssada qaala qonccisada odana mela taw Xoossaa woossite.
5 Walk in wisdom towards those without, redeeming opportunities.
Injjetiya wode ubbaa go7ettishe ammanonna asaa matan cinccatethan de7ite.
6 [Let] your word [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, [so as] to know how ye ought to answer each one.
Hintte asa ubbaas koshshiya zaaro imo erana mela hintte oday ubba wode aadho keehatethan kumidayssanne maxineda mal7iyabaa gidanaw bessees.
7 Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-bondman in [the] Lord, will make known to you all that concerns me;
Nu siiqo ishay Tikiqoosi, taara issife Godaa oosuwan aylle gidida, ammanettiya oosanchchoy, ta de7uwabaa hinttew odana.
8 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he might know your state, and that he might encourage your hearts:
Taani iya hintteko kiittiday, nu waanidi de7iyakko hinttew odidi hinttena minthethana melassa.
9 with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known to you everything here.
Anasmoosi, ammanettiya siiqo ishay, hintte baggay, iyara hintteko bees. Entti hayssan haniyaba ubbaa hinttew odana.
10 Aristarchus my fellow-captive salutes you, and Mark, Barnabas's cousin, concerning whom ye have received orders, (if he come to you, receive him, )
Taara qashettida Arisxirokoosinne Barnnabaasa ishaa na7ay Marqqoosi, hinttena saro yaagosona. Ta hinttew kase odidayssada Marqqoosi hintteko biikko iya mokkite.
11 and Jesus called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These [are the] only fellow-workers for the kingdom of God who have been a consolation to me.
Yesuusa giya Yasxxoosi hinttena saro saro yaagees. Xoossaa kawotethaa gisho taara oothiya asata giddofe Ayhude gididayssati ha heedzata; entti tana daro minthethidosona.
12 Epaphras, who is [one] of you, [the] bondman of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always combating earnestly for you in prayers, to the end that ye may stand perfect and complete in all [the] will of God.
Hintte baggay, Kiristtoos Yesuusa aylley, Ephphaafiri hinttena saro saro yaagees. I hintte Xoossaa sinthan minnidi eqqanaadanne Xoossaa sheniya eridi polana mela ubba wode Xoossaa hintte gisho woossees.
13 For I bear him witness that he labours much for you, and them in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
I hintte gishonne Loodoqiyaninne Hirapoolisa kataman de7iya asaa gisho daro daaburidayssa ta markkattays.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, salutes you, and Demas.
Nu siiqo ishay dottorey Luuqaasinne Deemasi, hinttena saro saro yaagosona.
15 Salute the brethren in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly which [is] in his house.
Loodoqiyan de7iya nu ishatas, Nimfaasinne I keethan shiiqiya asaas nu sarothuwa odite.
16 And when the letter has been read among you, cause that it be read also in the assembly of Laodiceans, and that ye also read that from Laodicea.
Ha dabddaabbiya hintte nabbabidaappe guye, Loodoqiya woosa keethan nabbabisite. Hintteka Loodoqiya woosa keethay hinttew yeddiya dabddaabbiya nabbabite.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in [the] Lord, to the end that thou fulfil it.
Qassi Arkkiphphaasa, “Goday new immida oosuwa polanayssa dogoppa” yaagidi qofisite.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you.
Taani, Phawuloosi, ha sarothuwa ta kushen xaafas. Ta qashuwa qoppite. Xoossaa aadho keehatethay hinttera gido.
