Colossians 4
1 Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
Ni ŵanyamwe achakulu mpanganye yaili yambone kwa achikapolo ŵenu mpela yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu, nchimanyililaga kuti nomwe ŵakwe nkwete Ambuje kwinani.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Mwapopelele Akunnungu pangapela ni pankupopela mmeje meeso ni kwatogolela Akunnungu.
3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
Iyoyo ntupopelele nowe, kuti Akunnungu atupe lipesa lya kulalichila ntemela nkati Kilisito. Kwa ligongo lya utenga wo, une ndili mu chitaŵiko.
4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Nipele mumbopelele kuti ngombole kuŵecheta yaikuti kuŵajilwa kwa litala lyalikukombola kuchiŵika chantemela cho pangasisika.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
Njendeje kwa lunda pankutama ni ŵandu ŵangakunkulupilila Kilisito, nchitumiyaga yambone lipesa linkwete.
6 Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Moŵa gose aila yose inkusala yakamuchisye ŵandu, ni nkusachilwa kunjanga chambone mundu jwalijose.
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, [who is] a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
Nguntuma che Tukiko kukwenu, jwelejo ali nlongo njetu jwakunonyelwa, jwakutumichila jwakukulupilichika ni kapolo njetu mmasengo ga Ambuje, chammanyisye ŵanyamwe ngani syangu syose.
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
Kwa ligongo lyo nguntuma kukwenu kuti ajitusye mitima jenu kwakunsalila ngani syetu.
9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known unto you all things which [are done] here.
Akwika pamo ni che Onesimo nlongo njetu jwakunonyelwa ni jwakukulupilichika, jwelejo ali mundu jwa kukwenu. Ŵanyawo ni uchansalile yose yaikutendekwa apano.
10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him; )
Jwantawe njangu che Alisitako akunkomasya. Nombe che Maliko mwipwagwao che Banaba iyoyo akunkomasyanga. Malajisyo gakwe mmasile kugapochela, aikaga kukwenu mwapochele chambone.
11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only [are my] fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
Nombe che Yoshua, jwakuŵilanjikwa Yusto iyoyo akunkomasya. Mwa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile ni ŵatatu pewo ŵakupanganya masengo pamo ni une kwa ligongo lya Umwenye wa Akunnungu, ŵanyawo ni ŵakungamusya une.
12 Epaphras, who is [one] of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Che Epafula, njenu, kapolo jwa Kilisito Yesu akunkomasya. Moŵa gose ngaakupela kumpopelela kuti nlimbangane ni kwima chiimile ni kwendelechela kukulupilila ni kupanganya yakuisaka Akunnungu.
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them [that are] in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Ngukombola kusala umboni nkati ŵelewo kuti akupanganya nnope masengo kwa ligongo lyenu ni kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵa ku Laodikia ni kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵa ku Hielapoli.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
Che Luka jwantela jwetu jwaunonyelo ni che Dema akunkomasya.
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
Mwakomasye achalongo achinjetu ŵa ku Laodikia pamo ni che Nimfa ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵakusimana mu nyuumba jao.
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the [epistle] from Laodicea.
Mwamalaga kusyoma chikalata chi mwape mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Laodikia achisyome. Nombe chikalata chinalembele ŵandu ŵa ku Laodikia ampanje ŵanyamwe nsyome.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
Mwasalile che Alikipo kuti masengo gapegwile ni Ambuje kupanganya amalichisye.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen.
Uneji che Paolo ngulemba yeleyi ni nkono wangu nansyene kunkomasya. Kasindiŵalila kuti une ndili muchitaŵiko. Ngummendela umbone kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
