Colossians 4
1 Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing that you also have a master in heaven.
Madzishe, ipai varanda zvakarurama nezvakaringana, muchiziva kuti imwiwo muna Ishe kumatenga.
2 Be instant in prayer; watching in it with thanksgiving:
Tsungirirai pamunyengetero, murinde pakuri nekuvonga;
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; )
mutinyengetererewo panguva imweyo, kuti Mwari atizarurire mukova weshoko, kutaura chakavanzika chaKristu, chandakasungirwawo;
4 That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
kuti ndichiratidze, sezvandinofanira kutaura.
5 Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time.
Fambai muuchenjeri kune vari kunze, muchidzikunura nguva.
6 Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man.
Shoko renyu ngarigare munyasha, rakarungwa nemunyu, kuti muzive kuti munofanira kupindura sei umwe neumwe.
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,
Zvese zvakanangana neni Tikiko achakuzivisai, hama inodikanwa nemushumiri wakatendeka, nemushandi pamwe neni muna Ishe;
8 Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the things that concern you, and comfort your hearts,
wandatumira kwamuri ichochi, kuti azive zviri maererano nemwi, nekunyaradza moyo yenyu;
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.
pamwe naOnesimo, hama yakatendeka inodikanwa, anova wekwenyu. Vachakuzivisai zvese zviri pano.
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:
Arisitako musungwa pamwe neni anokukwazisai, naMariko muzukuru waBhanabhasi, wamakagamuchira mirairo maererano naye; kana achisvika kwamuri, mumugamuchire,
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.
naJesu anonzi Justo, vevekudzingiswa; ivava chete vabati pamwe neni paushe hwaMwari, vaiva nyaradzo kwandiri.
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.
Epafrasi wekwenyu, muranda waKristu, anokukwazisai, achirwa nguva dzese muminyengetero nekuda kwenyu, kuti mumire makazara uye makakwana muchido chese chaMwari.
13 For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you, and for them that are at Laodicea, and them at Hierapolis.
Nokuti ndinomupupurira kuti ane shungu kwazvo nemwi, neveRaodhikia, neveHierapori.
14 Luke, the most dear physician, saluteth you: and Demas.
Anokukwazisai Ruka chiremba anodikanwa, naDhemasi.
15 Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.
Kwazisai hama dziri Raodhikia, naNimifa, nekereke iri mumba make.
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.
Zvino kana tsamba iyi yaverengwa pakati penyu, itai kuti nemukereke yeVaRaodhikia iverengwe; kuti nemwi muverengewo inobva Raodhikia.
17 And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.
Vudzai Akipo, muti: Chenjerera ushumiri hwawakagamuchira muna Ishe, kuti uhupedzise.
18 The salutation of Paul with my own hand. Be mindful of my bands. Grace be with you. Amen.
Kwaziso neruoko rwangu rwaPauro. Rangarirai zvisungo zvangu. Nyasha ngadzive nemwi. Ameni.
