Colossians 4
1 The masters: give that which is righteous and equal to the servants, having known that you also have a Master in the heavens.
Angraengnawk, nangcae doeh van ah Angraeng na tawnh o, tiah panoek oh loe, na tamnanawk nuiah kangvan ah toenghaih hoiah toksah oh.
2 Continue in the prayer, watching in it in thanksgiving,
Lawkthui o toepsoep ah loe, kawnhaih lawkthuihaih hoiah zing oh;
3 also praying for us at the same time, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which I have also been bound,
kai loe kathuk Kri ih lok to ka taphong pongah, sumqui hoi pathlet ah ka oh, Sithaw mah lokthuihaih loklam ang paongh pae hanah, kaicae han doeh lawk na thui pae oh:
4 that I may reveal it, as it is necessary for me to speak.
to tiah ni ka taphong han koi lok to kamtueng ah ka thui thai tih.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those outside, redeeming the time,
Tasa bang ih kaminawk khaeah palunghahaih hoiah khosah oh loe, atue to paawt oh.
6 your word always being seasoned with salt in grace—to know how it is necessary for you to answer each one.
Kami boih han lok na pathim pae o thai hanah, na paeh o ih lok loe paloi baktih kakhrum, tahmenhaih hoiah kakoi lok to apae o poe nasoe.
7 Tychicus will make known to you all the things concerning me—the beloved brother, and faithful servant, and fellow-servant in the LORD—
Angraeng ah nawkamya, oep kaom toksahkung hoi tok nawnto sah tamna ah kaom, Tukika mah kai ih tamthang to na thui o boih tih:
8 whom I sent to you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,
anih mah nangcae khosakhaih panoek pongah, na poek o haih palungthin mongsak han ih ni, anih to nangcae khaeah kang patoeh;
9 with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; they will make known to you all things that [are] here.
anih loe oep kathok, palung ih kam nawk, Onesima hoi nawnto angzo tih, anih loe nangcae thungah kaom kami maeto ah oh. Nihnik mah haeah kaom hmuennawk boih to nangcae khaeah thui hoi tih.
10 Aristarchus greets you, my fellow-captive, and Marcus, the nephew of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commands—if he may come to you, receive him),
Thongim nawnto ka krakhaih ampui, Aristarka mah ban ang sin o, Barnaba tanuh ih capa Marka mah doeh ban ang sin o; (anih taham ah lokpaekhaih to na hnuk o boeh; anih nangcae khaeah angzo nahaeloe, khenzawn oh; )
11 and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of circumcision: these [are the] only fellow-workers for the Kingdom of God who become a comfort to me.
Jasta, tiah kawk ih Jesu loe, tangzat hin aat kami ah oh. Sithaw prae taham ah kai hoi nawnto toksah kami loe nihcae khue ni, nihcae loe kai poek mongsak kami ah oh o.
12 Epaphras greets you, who [is] of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that you may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,
Nangcae khaeah kaom Kri ih tamna, Ephaphra mah ban ang sin o, Sithaw koehhaih baktiah hmuennawk boih ah na koep o moe, kacakah nang doet o thai hanah, anih loe nangcae han palung tang hoi toksak moe, lawk ang thuih pae o toepsoep.
13 for I testify to him that he has much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
Anih loe nangcae hoi Laodicia hoi Hierapolis ah kaom kaminawk han doeh, kawkruk maw tha pathok, tito ka panoek.
14 Lucas greets you, the beloved physician, and Demas;
Palung ih tasi sah kop kami, Luka hoi Dema mah ban ang sin o.
15 those in Laodicea greet you—brothers, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house;
Laodicia hoi Nympha ah kaom nawkamyanawk, anih im ah kaom kricaabunawk to ban sin oh.
16 and when the letter may be read with you, cause that it may also be read in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and the [letter] from Laodicea that you also may read;
Hae capat na kroek o pacoengah, Laodicia kricaabunawk doeh kroek o sak toeng ah; to Laodicia vangpui hoiah na hnuk o ih ca to nangcae mah doeh kroek oh.
17 and say to Archippus, “See to the ministry that you received in the LORD, that you may fulfill it.”
Angraeng khae hoi hnuk ih Sithaw tok to boeng khoek to sak hanah, Arkhipa to thui pae oh.
18 The salutation [is] by my hand, Paul. Remember my bonds. The grace [is] with you! Amen.
Ban sinhaih ca loe, kai, Pawl mah ni ban hoiah ka tarik. Sumqui hoi pathlet ah ka ohhaih hae pahnet o hmah. Tahmenhaih nangcae khaeah om nasoe. Amen.
