Colossians 4
1 Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing that you also have a master in heaven.
Nobasimalelo, amupe balanda benu chakululama achakweleka. Mbumwizi kuti anywebo mulijisi simalelo uli kujulu.
2 Be instant in prayer; watching in it with thanksgiving:
Amujatisye kukomba, musungwalile nkuko akulumba.
3 Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound; )
Nkabela amutukombele aswebo, kuti Leza atujulile myeenya yajwi, kwamba makani masisike a Kkilisito. Nkambo kacheechi, ndilangidwe anketani.
4 That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
Amukombe kuti nkakonzye kulungulula, mbunjelede kuyowamba.
5 Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time.
Amweende chabusongo kulibaabo balaanze, amununune chiindi.
6 Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man.
Kwamba kwenu akube kwaluzyalo lyoonse, kulweezegwe amwinyo wakulumba, kuti mube abusongo bwakuvwiila kabotu kubantu boonse.
7 All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother, and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to you,
Lino kumakani alatala andime, Tukiko mukwesu ulachita kuti mwazibe. Mukwesu uyandika, simulimoma musyomesi, muzikema mu Mwami.
8 Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the things that concern you, and comfort your hearts,
Ndamutuma kulindinywe nkambo kacheechi, kuti amuzibye makani andiswe, akusungilizya myoyo yenu.
9 With Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is one of you. All things that are done here, they shall make known to you.
Ndilamutuma antomwe a Onesimasi, ulisyomekede alimwi mukwesu uyandika, kali umwi wenu. Bayomuzibisya zyoonse zyakachitika okuno.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin german of Barnabus, touching whom you have received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him:
Alisitachasi, mwangema, ulokumujuzya, antomwe a Maakki, mwenzinyina wa Bbanabbasi (mulitambwide kale mulazyo wakuti, asika kulindinywe, mumutambule),
11 And Jesus, that is called Justus: who are of the circumcision: these only are my helpers in the kingdom of God; who have been a comfort to me.
antomwe a Jesu uyiitwa kuti ngu Jusitasi, Abo boonse babupalule mbasimilimoma mumulimo wabwami bwa Leza. Mbibakali lumbulizyo lwamoyo wangu.
12 Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect, and full in all the will of God.
Epafulatasi ulokumujuzya loko. Nguumwi wenu alubo muzike wa Kkilsito Jesu. Ukkala kamwitilila munkombyo, kuchitila kuti mukiime chakuzulila akuba bwiini kulizyoonse muluyando lwa Leza.
13 For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you, and for them that are at Laodicea, and them at Hierapolis.
Ndipa bukamboni kuti umubelekela chamanguzu, kuli aabo balimu Layodisiya, antomwe akulibaabo balimu Hilapolisi.
14 Luke, the most dear physician, saluteth you: and Demas.
Lukka musilisi uyandika antomwe a Demasi balokumujuzya loko.
15 Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.
Mujuzye bakwesu balimu Layodisiya, aku Nimfu, embungano ilimu ng'anda yakwe.
16 And when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that which is of the Laodiceans.
Olu lugwalo lwamana kubalwa kulindinywe, amuchite kuti lubalwe akulako kumbungano yabaku Layodikiya.
17 And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.
Amwambile Akkipa kuti, “Langa kabotu kumilimo njiwakatambula ku Mwami, kuti uyelede kuzuzikizya.”
18 The salutation of Paul with my own hand. Be mindful of my bands. Grace be with you. Amen.
Olu lujuzyo ndalulemba amaboko aangu - ndime Pawulu. Kamuyeeya inketani zyangu. Luzyalo alube anywebo.
