Colossians 4

1 Ye masters, doe vnto your seruants, that which is iust, and equall, knowing that ye also haue a master in heauen.

Awuranom, momma mo asomfoɔ deɛ ɛtene. Monkae sɛ mo nso mowɔ Owura wɔ ɔsoro.

2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the fame with thankesgiuing,

Mommɔ mpaeɛ daa. Monyɛ nnam wɔ mo mpaeɛbɔ mu na monna Onyankopɔn ase.

3 Praying also for vs, that God may open vnto vs the doore of vtterance, to speake ye mysterie of Christ: wherefore I am also in bonds,

Ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, mommɔ mpaeɛ mma yɛn nso na Onyankopɔn ama yɛn mu kwan ama yɛatumi aka Asɛmpa no ne Kristo ho ahintasɛm. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno enti na meda afiase no.

4 That I may vtter it, as it becommeth mee to speake.

Mommɔ mpaeɛ na matumi akasa ama nteaseɛ aba mu sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa.

5 Walke wisely towarde them that are without, and redeeme the season.

Ɛberɛ biara a mobɛnya kwan ne wɔn a wɔnyɛ agyedifoɔ no ahyia no, mo ne wɔn nkasa nyansa mu.

6 Let your speach be gracious alwayes, and powdred with salt, that ye may know how to answere euery man.

Daa, monka kasa pa a ɛyɛ anigye nkyerɛ wɔn na momma wɔn mu biara mmuaeɛ pa.

7 Tychicus our beloued brother and faithfull minister, and fellow seruant in the Lord, shall declare vnto you my whole state:

Yɛn nuabarima pa Tihiko a ɔyɛ odwumayɛfoɔ pa na ɔsane yɛ Awurade adwumayɛ mu ɔsomfoɔ no bɛka me ho asɛm akyerɛ mo.

8 Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose that he might know your state, and might comfort your hearts,

Ɛno enti na meresoma no aba mo nkyɛn sɛ ɔmmɛka sɛdeɛ yɛrekɔ so fa mfa nhyɛ mo den no.

9 With Onesimus a faithfull and a beloued brother, who is one of you. They shall shew you of all things here.

10 Aristarchus my prison fellow saluteth you, and Marcus, Barnabas cousin (touching whom ye receiued commandements. If he come vnto you, receiue him)

Me yɔnko Aristarko a ɔne me da afiase no kyea mo. Saa ara na Barnaba wɔfaase Marko nso kyea mo. Wɔaka akyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ ɔba mo nkyɛn a, monnye no fɛ so.

11 And Iesus which is called Iustus, which are of the circumcision. These onely are my worke fellowes vnto the kingdome of God, which haue bene vnto my consolation.

12 Epaphras the seruant of Christ, which is one of you, saluteth you, and alwayes striueth for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect, and full in all the will of God.

14 Luke the beloued physician greeteth you, and Demas.

Luka a ɔyɛ yɛn yaresafoɔ pa no ne Dema kyea mo.

15 Salute the brethren which are of Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the Church which is in his house.

Yɛkyea anuanom a wɔwɔ Laodikea ne Nimfa ne asafo a wɔhyia wɔ ne fie no.

16 And when this Epistle is read of you, cause that it be read in the Church of the Laodiceans also, and that ye likewise reade the Epistle written from Laodicea.

Sɛ mokan saa nwoma yi wie a, monhwɛ sɛ mobɛkan akyerɛ asafo a wɔwɔ Laodikea no. Saa ara nso na monkan nwoma a ɛfiri Laodikea no.

17 And say to Archippus, Take heede to the ministerie, that thou hast receiued in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.

Monka nkyerɛ Arkipo sɛ, “Bɔ mmɔden sɛ wobɛwie ɔsom a wɔde ahyɛ wo nsa wɔ Awurade din mu no.”
