Colossians 4
1 Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
Madzishe, ipai varanda zvakarurama nezvakaringana, muchiziva kuti imwiwo muna Ishe kumatenga.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Tsungirirai pamunyengetero, murinde pakuri nekuvonga;
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:
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 in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
Fambai muuchenjeri kune vari kunze, muchidzikunura nguva.
6 Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Shoko renyu ngarigare munyasha, rakarungwa nemunyu, kuti muzive kuti munofanira kupindura sei umwe neumwe.
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, [who is] a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
Zvese zvakanangana neni Tikiko achakuzivisai, hama inodikanwa nemushumiri wakatendeka, nemushandi pamwe neni muna Ishe;
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
wandatumira kwamuri ichochi, kuti azive zviri maererano nemwi, nekunyaradza moyo yenyu;
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.
pamwe naOnesimo, hama yakatendeka inodikanwa, anova wekwenyu. Vachakuzivisai zvese zviri pano.
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; )
Arisitako musungwa pamwe neni anokukwazisai, naMariko muzukuru waBhanabhasi, wamakagamuchira mirairo maererano naye; kana achisvika kwamuri, mumugamuchire,
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.
naJesu anonzi Justo, vevekudzingiswa; ivava chete vabati pamwe neni paushe hwaMwari, vaiva nyaradzo kwandiri.
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.
Epafrasi wekwenyu, muranda waKristu, anokukwazisai, achirwa nguva dzese muminyengetero nekuda kwenyu, kuti mumire makazara uye makakwana muchido chese chaMwari.
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them [that are] in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Nokuti ndinomupupurira kuti ane shungu kwazvo nemwi, neveRaodhikia, neveHierapori.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
Anokukwazisai Ruka chiremba anodikanwa, naDhemasi.
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
Kwazisai hama dziri Raodhikia, naNimifa, nekereke iri mumba make.
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.
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 fulfil it.
Vudzai Akipo, muti: Chenjerera ushumiri hwawakagamuchira muna Ishe, kuti uhupedzise.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen.
Kwaziso neruoko rwangu rwaPauro. Rangarirai zvisungo zvangu. Nyasha ngadzive nemwi. Ameni.
