Colossians 4
1 Masters, afford to your servants what is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in the heavens.
Unu ndị nwe odibo, jirinụ ịkwụba aka ọtọ na ikpe ziri ezi na-emeso ndị ohu unu omume, ebe unu maara na unu onwe unu nwere onyenwe unu nʼeluigwe.
2 Continue instant in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Na-anọgidenụ nʼekpere, nọọkwanụ na nche na-enyekwanụ ekele.
3 at the same time, also, praying for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the secret of Christ, for which, indeed, I am in bonds;
Na-echetakwanụ anyị nʼekpere, ka Chineke meghere anyị ụzọ ikwusa oziọma, ka anyị nwee ike kwusaa ihe omimi Kraịst, nke m ji maka ya nọrọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ,
4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
ka m nwee ike kwuo ya ka o doo anya otu m kwesiri.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them who are without, gaining time.
Unu were amamihe na-achịkọta onwe unu nʼebe ndị nọ nʼezi nọ, jizienụ ohere ọbụla unu nwere nke ọma.
6 Let your speech be always with gracefulness, seasoned with salt, knowing how you ought to answer every one.
Ka okwu unu na-ekwu bụrụ nke jupụtara nʼamara na-atọ ụtọ, ka unu mụtakwa otu e si enye mmadụ ọsịsa dị mma.
7 All things concerning me, Tychicus, a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord, will make known to you;
Taịkikọs, ezi nwanna anyị, onye kwesikwara ntụkwasị obi, onye anyị na ya na-ejekọ ozi nʼọrụ Onyenwe anyị, ga-akọrọ unu ihe niile banyere m.
8 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he may know your affairs, and comfort your hearts:
Ana m ezitere unu ya, ka unu mara ihe banyere ọnọdụ anyị nakwa ka ọ gbaa obi unu ume.
9 with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is from you. They will make known to you all things which are done here.
Ezi nwanna anyị nwoke bụ Onisimọs, onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, onye bụkwa otu nʼime unu, so ya na-abịa. Ha ga-agwa unu ihe niile na-eme nʼebe a.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, salutes you; and Mark, the nephew of Barnabas, concerning whom you go orders: if he come to you, receive him--
Arịstakọs, onye mụ na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, na-ekele unu. Mak nwanne Banabas na-ekelekwa unu. (Onye unu natara ihe ntụziaka banyere ya, ọ bụrụ na ọ bịarute nʼebe unu nọ, unu nabata ya nke ọma.)
11 and Jesus, who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These, alone, are laborers with me for the kingdom of God, who has been a consolation to me.
Jisọs, onye a na-akpọkwa Jọstus, na-ekelekwa unu. Ọ bụ naanị ndị a bụ ndị Juu mụ na ha na-arụkọ ọrụ alaeze Chineke nʼebe a. Ha na-eme nnọọ nke ọma, na-enye m obi ụtọ.
12 Epaphras, who came from you, a servant of Christ, salutes you; at all times fervently striving for you by prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in the whole will of God.
Epafras, odibo Kraịst Jisọs na onye bụkwa otu onye nʼime ọgbakọ unu na-ekele unu. Oge niile ka ọ na-ekpe ekpere nʼihi unu, na-arịọ ka unu guzosie ike bụrụ ndị tozuru etozu na ndị kwesiri ike nʼọchịchọ niile nke Chineke.
13 For I bear him witness, that he has much affection for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis.
Ana m agbara ya akaebe na ọ rụsịrị ọrụ ike nʼihi unu na nʼihi ndị Laodisia na ndị Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, salute you.
Ezi enyi anyị Luk, onye dibịa ukwu anyị na Dimas na-ekele unu.
15 Salute the brethren in Laodicea; and Nymphas, and the congregation in his house.
Keleerenụ m ụmụnna anyị bi na Laodisia na nwanna anyị Nimfas na chọọchị na-ezukọ nʼụlọ ya.
16 And when this epistle has been read to you, cause that it be read also in the congregation of the Laodiceans; and that you also read the one from Laodicea.
Mgbe unu gụchara akwụkwọ a, hụnụ na a gụkwara ya na nzukọ dị na Laodisia. Gụọkwanụ nʼotu mgbe ahụ akwụkwọ nke si na Laodisia bịa.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry, which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.
Gwanụ Akipos ka ọ kpachapụ anya rụchaa ọrụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ya ịrụ.
18 The salutation of Paul, with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Favor be with you.
Eji m aka m dee ekele nke a mụ onwe m bụ Pọl. Unu echefula na m nọ nʼagbụ. Ka amara dịnyere unu.
