Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Mabwana, antchito anu muzikhala nawo mwachilungamo ndi moyenera, podziwa kuti nanunso muli nawo Ambuye anu mmwamba.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Pempherani modzipereka, mukhale atcheru ndiponso oyamika.
3 praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Meshikha, for which I am also in bonds;
Ndipo muzitipemphereranso ife kuti Mulungu atitsekulire khomo la uthenga wathu, kuti tilalikire chinsinsi cha Khristu, chimene ndine womangidwa nacho mʼndende.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Pempherani kuti ndilalikire momveka bwino, monga ndikuyenera.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Mayendedwe anu pakati pa akunja, akhale anzeru ndipo mugwiritse ntchito mpata uliwonse umene muli nawo.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Mayankhulidwe anu nthawi zonse akhale odzaza ndi chisomo ndi okoma, kuti mudziwe kuyankha aliyense.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord.
Tukiko adzakuwuzani zonse za ine. Iye ndi mʼbale wokondedwa, mtumiki wokhulupirika ndiponso wantchito mnzanga mwa Ambuye.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts,
Ine ndikumutumiza kwa inu ndi cholinga choti mudziwe zimene tikukumana nazo ndiponso kuti alimbikitse mitima yanu.
9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything that is going on here.
Iye akubwera ndi Onesimo, mʼbale wathu wokhulupirika ndi wokondedwa, amene ndi mmodzi mwa inu. Iwo adzakuwuzani zonse zimene zikuchitika kuno.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner greets you, and Markos, the cousin of Bar-Naba (concerning whom you received commandments, "if he comes to you, receive him"),
Aristariko, wamʼndende mnzanga akupereka moni, Marko akuperekanso moni, msuweni wa Barnaba. (Inu munawuzidwa kale za Iye. Iye akabwera kwanuko, mulandireni).
11 and Yeshua who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These are my only fellow workers for the Kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.
Yesu wotchedwa Yusto, akuperekanso moni. Amenewa ndi Ayuda okhawo pakati pa atumiki anzanga mu ufumu wa Mulungu, ndipo aonetsa kuti ndi chitonthozo kwa ine.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Meshikha, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.
Epafra ndi mmodzi mwa inu ndiponso mtumiki wa Khristu Yesu, akupereka moni. Iyeyu nthawi zonse amakupemphererani mwamphamvu, kuti mukhazikike pa chifuniro chonse cha Mulungu, mukhale okhwima ndi otsimikiza kwathunthu.
13 For I testify about him, that he has worked hard for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Ine ndikumuchitira umboni kuti amagwira ntchito mwamphamvu chifukwa cha inu ndiponso kwa amene ali ku Laodikaya ndi Herapoli.
14 Luqa, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
Luka, dotolo wathu wokondedwa ndi Dema, akupereka moni.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that is in her house.
Perekani moni kwa abale a ku Laodikaya, ndiponso kwa Numfa ndi mpingo wa mʼnyumba mwake.
16 When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
Kalata iyi ikawerengedwa pakati panu, muonetsetse kuti ikawerengedwenso ku mpingo wa ku Laodikaya ndipo inunso muwerenge kalata yochokera ku Laodikaya.
17 Tell Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have been given in the Lord."
Uzani Arkipo kuti, “Wonetsetsa kuti wamaliza ntchito imene unayilandira mwa Ambuye.”
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
Ine Paulo, ndikulemba ndi dzanja langa moni uwu. Kumbukirani kuti ndili mu unyolo. Chisomo chikhale ndi inu.
