Colossians 4
1 You masters, treat your servants in a way that is right and fair, recognizing that you too have a Master in heaven.
Akulu, pumyi ku atugwa i makani ni taiane nu ulingi. Mulingile kina mukete ga nu Mukulu kilunde.
2 Remember to keep on praying, with an alert and thankful mind!
Longoleki kutula akomo mu malompi. Ikii miho mu nilanso ku ilumbiilyo.
3 Pray for us too that God may open a door of opportunity to spread the message, to tell about the revealed mystery of Christ—which is the reason I'm here in prison.
Lompi palung'wi ku nsoko itu ga, iti kina Itunda alugule i mimpita kunsoko a lukani, kitunta i kinkunku nika tai ang'wa Kristo. Kunsoko a ili natungilwe minyororo.
4 Pray that I may make it as clear as I should when I speak.
Hangi lompi kina nihume kuliika kihenga anga ni isingigwe kuligitigwa.
5 Behave wisely with outsiders, making the best use of every opportunity.
Longola ku upolo ku awo ni akoli kunzi, hangi muligunie itungo.
6 Always be gracious when you speak. Make sure it's in good taste, and think about how best to answer everyone.
iMakani anyu atule nu ukende matungo ihi, nu kulungila u munyu matungo ohi, iti kina muhume kulinga iti ni imutakile kumusukiilya kila u muntu.
7 Tychicus will tell you all about what's happening to me. He's a dear brother, a trustworthy minister and co-worker in the Lord.
Ku makani na antuile unene, uTikiko ukituma akumuke kitalanyu. uNg'wenso ingi muluna mulowa, munyamilimo nu muhuiili, hangi mutugwa mi itu ku Mukulu.
8 I'm sending him to you for this very reason—so that you'll know how things are with me and this will cheer you up.
Kumulagiilya kitalanyu kunsoko a ili, kina muhume kulinga i makani kutula u sese ga ni kina ahume kumukinyila.
9 Onesimus is going with him too, a trusted and dear brother, who's one of you. They'll explain to you everything that's going on here.
Kumulagiilya palung'wi nu Onesmo, muluna itu mulowa nu muhuiili, hangi ung'wi anyu. Akumutambuila kila i kintu nai kipumie apa.
10 Aristarchus who's with me here in prison sends his best wishes; likewise Mark, Barnabas' cousin (you've already had instructions to welcome him if he visits you),
Aristarko, mutungwa miane, ukumulamusha, ga nu Marko muyala nuang'wa Barnaba nai musingiiye u ulingasi kupuma kitalakwe, “Anga waza kitalanyu, musingiilyi”
11 and Jesus—also called Justus—who are the only Jewish Christians among those working with me here for the kingdom of God, men who have been a great help to me.
Nu Yesu ga nuitangwaa Yusto. Awa ing'wene du ni anya kidamu ingi ituma milimo iane ku nsoko a utemi nuang'wa Itunda. Atuile ipoeelya kitalane.
12 Epaphras who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends his greetings. He's always passionate in his prayers on your behalf, praying that you'll stand firm as grown-up Christians, totally convinced about everything as God would want.
Epafra ukumulamusha, uNg'wenso ingi ung'wi anyu hangi mutugwa wang'wa Kristo Yesu. uNg'wenso witumila ngulu mu malompi kunsoko iti kina muhume kimika ku ukomo nu kigeeleka ikaminkanu mu ulowa wihi nuang'wa Itunda.
13 For the record I can tell you that he's done a lot for you, and for those in Laodicea and Hierapolis as well.
Kunsoko kumukuiila, kina witumaa milimo ku ngulu kunsoko anyu, ku awo niakoli ku Laodekia, nu ku awo niakoli ku Hierapoli.
14 Luke, our dear doctor, and Demas also send their best.
uLuka uyo u mukiliki mulowa, nu Dema akumulamusha.
15 Greet the believers that are in Laodicea—Nympha too, and the church that meets in her house.
Alamushe i aluna ane niakoli ku Laodekia, nuku Mimfa, ni itekeelo ilo ni likoli mi ito kitalakwe.
16 And when this letter has been read to you, make sure it's read to the church in Laodicea too, and that you also read the letter sent to Laodicea.
Ibada ili ni likatula likusong'wa mukati anyu, lisong'we ga nu kitekeelo nila a Laodekia, nu nyenye ga mu komaniilye mukulisoma ibada kupuma ku Laodekia.
17 Tell Archippus, “See that you follow through in doing the ministry God gave you.”
Ligitya kung'wa Arkipo, “Goza uwu u uaiilya naiza u usingiiye mu Mukulu, kina utakiwe ku utimilya.”
18 I Paul write my closing greetings with my own hand. Remember I'm in prison. Grace be with you.
uMulamo uwu ingi ku mukono nuane mukola - Paulo. Kimbukiilyi i minyororo ane. Ukende nu utule nu yenye.
