Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Inyuĩ aathani-rĩ, ĩkagai ngombo cianyu maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire na marĩa marĩ kĩhooto, tondũ nĩmũũĩ o na inyuĩ mũrĩ na Mwathi wanyu kũrĩa igũrũ.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Mwĩheanagei na kĩyo ũhoro-inĩ wa kũhooya, mwĩiguĩte na mũgĩcookagĩria Ngai ngaatho.
3 praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;
Na mũtũhooyagĩre o na ithuĩ, nĩgeetha Ngai ahingũrĩre ndũmĩrĩri iitũ mũrango, nĩgeetha tũhunjagie ũhoro wa hitho ya Kristũ, ũhoro ũrĩa niĩ njohetwo nĩ ũndũ waguo.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Hooyagai nĩgeetha ndĩũhunjagie na andũ magataũkĩrwo wega, o ta ũrĩa njagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Tuĩkagai oogĩ harĩ maũndũ marĩa mũrĩĩkaga andũ arĩa matarĩ a thiritũ yanyu; mũtegũte mweke ũrĩa mũrĩ naguo wa gwĩka wega.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Na mũkĩaria, aragiai hĩndĩ ciothe mũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wega wa Ngai, nayo mĩario yanyu ĩtuĩke ta ĩkĩrĩtwo cumbĩ, nĩgeetha mũmenyage ũrĩa mũrĩcookagĩria o mũndũ.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord.
Tukiko nĩakamũhe ũhoro wakwa wothe. Ũcio nĩ mũrũ wa Ithe witũ twendete mũno, nĩ ndungata ya kwĩhokeka na tũtungataga nake thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts,
Ndamũtũma kũrĩ inyuĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũyũ kĩũmbe, atĩ mũmenyithio wega ũrĩa ithuĩ tũhaana, na ningĩ atĩ amũũmĩrĩrie ngoro.
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.
Megũũka na Onesimo, mũrũ wa Ithe witũ mwĩhokeku na ũrĩa twendete mũno, nake nĩ ũmwe wanyu. Acio nĩmekũmũhe ũhoro wa ũrĩa maũndũ mothe marekĩka gũkũ.
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"),
Nĩmwageithio nĩ Arisitariko ũrĩa tuohetwo nake, o na Mariko nĩamũgeithia, ũrĩa mũihwa wa Baranaba. (Nĩmwĩrĩtwo ũhoro wake; angĩũka kũrĩ inyuĩ-rĩ, mwamũkĩrei.)
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.
Jesũ ũrĩa wĩtagwo Jusito o nake nĩamũgeithia. Acio no-o Ayahudi thĩinĩ wa arĩa tũrutithanagia wĩra wa ũthamaki wa Ngai nao, na nĩmatuĩkĩte a kũnyũmĩrĩria.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.
Epafara, ũrĩa arĩ ũmwe wanyu na ndungata ya Kristũ Jesũ, nĩamũgeithia. We nĩamũhooyagĩra mũno hĩndĩ ciothe, nĩguo mũhote kwĩhaanda wega ũhoro-inĩ wothe wa kũhingia wendi wa Ngai, mũrĩ agima na mũrĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩkinyanĩru.
13 For I testify about him, that he has worked hard for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Niĩ ndĩ na ũira wake atĩ nĩarutaga wĩra na hinya, akenogia nĩ ũndũ wanyu, na nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa marĩ Laodikia na Hierapoli.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
Nĩmwageithio nĩ Luka ũrĩa ndagĩtarĩ, mũrata witũ twendete mũno, o na Dema.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that is in her house.
Geithiai ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ kũu Laodikia, na mũgeithie Numifa na andũ a kanitha ũrĩa ũrĩ gwake mũciĩ.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, mwarĩkia gũthomerwo marũa maya, matũmei magathomerwo andũ a kanitha wa Laodikia, na inyuĩ no nginya muone atĩ nĩmwathoma marũa ma kuuma kanitha wa Laodikia.
17 Tell Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have been given in the Lord."
Na mwĩre Arikipo atĩrĩ: “No nginya wone atĩ nĩwarĩĩkia wĩra ũrĩa wamũkĩrire thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.”
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
Niĩ Paũlũ nĩ niĩ ndaandĩka ngeithi ici na guoko gwakwa. Ririkanai atĩ ndĩ muohe na mĩnyororo. Wega wa Ngai ũrogĩa na inyuĩ.
