Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Ri ix, ri ix ajchoqꞌe chak, chiya ri qas taqal chike ri iꞌwajchakibꞌ, qas tzꞌaqat chibꞌana che, naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi kꞌo jun iwajaw pa ri kaj.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Are chiwilij ubꞌanik chꞌawem, chixjeqel chupam rukꞌ tyoxinik.
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;
Chibꞌana xuqujeꞌ chꞌawem pa qawiꞌ rech kujaq ri Dios kꞌi kꞌolibꞌal rech kaqatzijoj ri utzij, ri rumal utzijoxik in tzꞌapil pa cheꞌ.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Chibꞌana chꞌawem rech qas kꞌyaqal kinbꞌan chutzijoxik, jacha ri kajawatajik.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal chixnoꞌjin kukꞌ ri winaq ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj che ri Cristo, qas utz chibꞌana chukojik ri qꞌotaj.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Qas utz chibꞌana che ri itzijonem xuqujeꞌ qas kꞌo rumal chixtzijonoq. Rech iwetaꞌm jas kibꞌan chutzalixik uwach ri kitzij ri winaq chi kijujunal.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord.
Ri loqꞌalaj qachalal Tíquico, sukꞌ patanijel xuqujeꞌ tobꞌanel pa ri Ajawxel, kutzijoj wa chiꞌwe qas jas je nubꞌanom.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts,
Kintaq bꞌik iwukꞌ rech kito qas jeꞌ ri qabꞌanom jeriꞌ kikꞌamawaꞌj ichuqꞌabꞌ.
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.
Keꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri Onésimo rukꞌ. Areꞌ jun iwachiꞌl ix. Kuꞌtzijoj waꞌ chiꞌwe jas ri tajin kakꞌulmataj waral.
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"),
Ri Aristarco ri wachiꞌl uj kꞌo pa cheꞌ kutaq rutzil iwach, xuqujeꞌ ri Marcos ri uprimo ri Bernabé. Are kꞌu we kixuꞌsolij ri Marcos, utz chibꞌana che ukꞌamawaꞌxik jetaq ri itaqkil yaꞌtalik.
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.
Kutaq xuqujeꞌ rutzil iwach ri Jesús, ri kabꞌix Sukꞌ che, xaq xwi we oꞌxibꞌ winaq riꞌ aꞌj Israel ketobꞌan wukꞌ chuqꞌalajisaxik ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, kiyoꞌm kꞌu kꞌulibꞌal kuꞌx chwe.
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.
Kutaq xuqujeꞌ rutzil iwach ri Epafras, jun iwachiꞌl. We patanil rech ri Jesucristo riꞌ, tajin kubꞌan uchuqꞌabꞌ kubꞌan chꞌawem piꞌwiꞌ, rech qas kuchap ikꞌuꞌx, kibꞌan ri rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios.
13 For I testify about him, that he has worked hard for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Qas wilom chi areꞌ kok il rumal iwe, xuqujeꞌ kumal ke ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Laodicea xuqujeꞌ kumal ri e kꞌo pa tinimit Hierápolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
Kutaq xuqujeꞌ rutzil iwach ri Lucas, ri loqꞌalaj kunanel, xuqujeꞌ ri Demas.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that is in her house.
Chitaqa rutzil kiwach ri alaxik ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Laodicea, xuqujeꞌ che ri Ninfas, xuqujeꞌ chike ri komontyox ri kꞌo cho rachoch.
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.
Are kasikꞌitaj uwach we wuj riꞌ pa ijolom, sikꞌix xuqujeꞌ pa ri komontyox je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Laodicea, xuqujeꞌ chisikꞌij ix ri wuj ri taqtal bꞌik che ri komontyox riꞌ.
17 Tell Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have been given in the Lord."
Chibꞌij che ri Arquipo are chubꞌana ri upatan ri xukꞌamawaꞌj che ri Ajawxel, are rilij ubꞌanik.
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
In in Pablo kintzꞌibꞌaj rukꞌ ri nuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ri nutzꞌibꞌ. Naꞌtaj chiꞌwe chi in tzꞌapal pa cheꞌ. Are ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Ajawxel kakanaj kan iwukꞌ.
