1 Masters, give to bondmen what is just and fair, knowing that ye also have a Master in [the] heavens.
Mabwana, mpisyai kwabhatumwa mambo ghahalai ni ghamaadili. Mmanyili kujobha myele ni Bwana wa kumbinguni.
2 Persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Myendelelai kuya ngangali kup'etela maombi mtamai mihu kup'etela ele kwa hukrani.
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,
Msomayi kwapamonga kwa ajili ya yh'oto, ili kwa ndabha Kyala afungulai ndyangu kwajili ya lilobhi, kujobha Siri sauukweli sa Kristu. Kwandabha ya ele nifungibhu minyororo.
4 to the end that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
Na msomayi ili kulibheka wazi, kama kayilondeka kujobha.
5 Walk in wisdom towards those without, redeeming opportunities.
Mlotayi kwa hekima kwa bhala bhabhayele kwibhala, na muuokolai muda.
6 [Let] your word [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, [so as] to know how ye ought to answer each one.
