< Colossians 4 >

1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
ܡܪܝܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܫܘܝܘܬܐ ܘܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘ ܡܪܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
ܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܐܬܐܡܢܘ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܝܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܘܡܘܕܝܢ
3 praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Messiah, for which I am also in bonds;
ܘܡܨܠܝܢ ܐܦ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܦܬܚ ܠܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܡܠܬܐ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܐܪܙܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܤܝܪ ܐܢܐ
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
ܕܐܓܠܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܠܠܝܘܗܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܘܠܐ ܠܝ
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
ܒܚܟܡܬܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܠܘܬ ܒܪܝܐ ܘܙܒܢܘ ܩܐܪܤܟܘܢ
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
ܘܡܠܬܟܘܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܡܠܚܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܡܕܟܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܡܬܒܘ ܦܬܓܡܐ
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord.
ܡܕܡ ܕܠܘܬܝ ܕܝܢ ܢܘܕܥܟܘܢ ܛܘܟܝܩܘܤ ܐܚܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܟܢܬܢ ܒܡܪܝܐ
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts,
ܗܢܐ ܕܫܕܪܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܠܝܗ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܕܢܕܥ ܡܐ ܕܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ
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.
ܥܡ ܐܢܤܝܡܘܤ ܐܚܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܚܒܝܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܘܕܥܘܢܟܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܘܬܢ
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commandments, "if he comes to you, receive him"),
ܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܐܪܤܛܪܟܘܤ ܫܒܝܐ ܕܥܡܝ ܘܡܪܩܘܤ ܒܪ ܕܕܗ ܕܒܪܢܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܦܩܕܬܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܐܢ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܬܩܒܠܘܢܝܗܝ
11 and Jesus 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.
ܘܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܝܘܤܛܘܤ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܥܕܪܘܢܝ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܝ ܒܘܝܐܐ
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Messiah, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.
ܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܐܦܦܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܢܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܡܠ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܕܬܩܘܡܘܢ ܓܡܝܪܐ ܘܡܫܡܠܝܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
13 For I testify about him, that he has worked hard for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
ܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܛܢܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܚܠܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܠܕܝܩܝܐ ܘܕܒܐܝܪܦܘܠܝܤ
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
ܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܠܘܩܐ ܐܤܝܐ ܚܒܝܒܢ ܘܕܡܐ
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that is in her house.
ܫܐܠܘ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܕܐܚܐ ܕܒܠܕܝܩܝܐ ܘܕܢܘܡܦܐ ܘܕܥܕܬܐ ܕܒܒܝܬܗ
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.
ܘܡܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܝܬ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܕܐܦ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܕܠܕܝܩܝܐ ܬܬܩܪܐ ܘܗܝ ܕܐܬܟܬܒܬ ܡܢ ܠܕܝܩܝܐ ܩܪܐܘܗ ܐܢܬܘܢ
17 Tell Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have been given in the Lord."
ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܐܪܟܝܦܘܤ ܕܐܙܕܗܪ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܩܒܠܬ ܒܡܪܢ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܡܫܡܠܐ ܠܗ
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
ܫܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܕܦܘܠܘܤ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܗܕܝܢ ܠܐܤܘܪܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ
