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.
Nou menm mèt yo, aji byen ak domestik nou yo, san fè okenn lenjistis. Chonje byen, nou menm tou nou gen yon mèt nan syèl la.
2 Continue in the prayer, watching in it in thanksgiving,
Pa janm sispann lapriyè. Pa kite dòmi pran nou. Toujou chonje lapriyè pou di Bondye mèsi.
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,
Anmenmtan, lapriyè pou mwen tou, pou Bondye ban m' okazyon pou m' fè konnen pawòl li a, pou m' fè lèzòm konnen sekrè Kris la. Se poutèt sekrè sa a menm mwen nan prizon koulye a.
4 that I may reveal it, as it is necessary for me to speak.
Lapriyè pou m' ka rive fè lèzòm wè l' aklè, pou m' ka pale jan mwen dwe pale a.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those outside, redeeming the time,
Pran prekosyon pou nou aji byen avè moun ki pa kretyen yo. Pa kite okenn chans pase.

Lè n'ap pale, di bagay ki pou fè yo kontan, ki pou enterese yo. Konn ki jan pou nou reponn chak moun.
