Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Nobasimalelo, amupe balanda benu chakululama achakweleka. Mbumwizi kuti anywebo mulijisi simalelo uli kujulu.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Amujatisye kukomba, musungwalile nkuko akulumba.
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;
Nkabela amutukombele aswebo, kuti Leza atujulile myeenya yajwi, kwamba makani masisike a Kkilisito. Nkambo kacheechi, ndilangidwe anketani.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Amukombe kuti nkakonzye kulungulula, mbunjelede kuyowamba.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Amweende chabusongo kulibaabo balaanze, amununune chiindi.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Kwamba kwenu akube kwaluzyalo lyoonse, kulweezegwe amwinyo wakulumba, kuti mube abusongo bwakuvwiila kabotu kubantu boonse.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord.
Lino kumakani alatala andime, Tukiko mukwesu ulachita kuti mwazibe. Mukwesu uyandika, simulimoma musyomesi, muzikema mu Mwami.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts,
Ndamutuma kulindinywe nkambo kacheechi, kuti amuzibye makani andiswe, akusungilizya myoyo yenu.
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.
Ndilamutuma antomwe a Onesimasi, ulisyomekede alimwi mukwesu uyandika, kali umwi wenu. Bayomuzibisya zyoonse zyakachitika okuno.
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"),
Alisitachasi, mwangema, ulokumujuzya, antomwe a Maakki, mwenzinyina wa Bbanabbasi (mulitambwide kale mulazyo wakuti, asika kulindinywe, mumutambule),
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.
antomwe a Jesu uyiitwa kuti ngu Jusitasi, Abo boonse babupalule mbasimilimoma mumulimo wabwami bwa Leza. Mbibakali lumbulizyo lwamoyo wangu.
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.
Epafulatasi ulokumujuzya loko. Nguumwi wenu alubo muzike wa Kkilsito Jesu. Ukkala kamwitilila munkombyo, kuchitila kuti mukiime chakuzulila akuba bwiini kulizyoonse muluyando lwa Leza.
13 For I testify about him, that he has worked hard for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Ndipa bukamboni kuti umubelekela chamanguzu, kuli aabo balimu Layodisiya, antomwe akulibaabo balimu Hilapolisi.
14 Luqa, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
Lukka musilisi uyandika antomwe a Demasi balokumujuzya loko.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that is in her house.
Mujuzye bakwesu balimu Layodisiya, aku Nimfu, embungano ilimu ng'anda yakwe.
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.
Olu lugwalo lwamana kubalwa kulindinywe, amuchite kuti lubalwe akulako kumbungano yabaku Layodikiya.
17 Tell Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have been given in the Lord."
Amwambile Akkipa kuti, “Langa kabotu kumilimo njiwakatambula ku Mwami, kuti uyelede kuzuzikizya.”
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
Olu lujuzyo ndalulemba amaboko aangu - ndime Pawulu. Kamuyeeya inketani zyangu. Luzyalo alube anywebo.
