Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
O rotompoo, anò an-katò naho hamiràñe o mpitoro’ areoo fohiñe te aman-Talé andindìñe ao ka nahareo.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Mitoloña an-kalaly, mijilova ama’e, le mañandriaña;
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;
naho mihalalia ho anay, hisokafan’ Añahare lalañe i tsaray, hitaroña’ay i mietake amy Norizañeiy, ze maha am-bahorañ’ ahiko;
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
t’ie halange, hahafitaroñako ami’ty evà’e.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Mañaveloa an-kihitse amo alafeo, rombaho ty andro.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Ampanintsiño nainai’e ty saontsi’ areo vaho hafirio an-tsira, hahafohina’ areo ty hanoiñe ze ondaty.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord.
Aa naho ty amako, le hitalilia’ i Tikiko, rahalahy kokoañe naho mpitoroñe migahiñe vaho mpitrao-pitoroñe amy Talè.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts,
Ie ty nahitriko, hitalily anay ama’areo vaho hañohò ty arofo’ areo.
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.
Hindre ama’e ty Onesimosy, rahalahy migahiñe naho kokoañe, toe mpiama’ areo. Ho talilie’ iareo ze he’e atoy.
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"),
Salamae’ i Aristarko mpitrao-silisily amako, naho i Marka, longo’ i Barnabasy (toe nahazoa’ areo lily, rambeso t’ie pok’ ao),
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.
naho Iesose atao ty hoe Josto. Iereo avao ty boak’ amy savatsey amo mpifanehake amako ho amy Fifehean’ Añahareio naho toe mpañosik’ ahiko.
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.
Salamae’ i Epafra, i boak’ ama’ areoy, i toe mpitoro’ Iesoà Norizañey naho mahimbañe nainai’e an-kalaly ho anahareo, hijadoña’ areo, fonitse am-patokisañe heneke amo hene satrin’ Añahareo.
13 For I testify about him, that he has worked hard for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Le itaroñako t’ie mahimbañe ho anahareo naho ho a i Laodikia vaho i Hierapolia.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
Salamae’ i Lioke mpanaha ìsoke naho i Demasy.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that is in her house.
Salamao o roahalahy e Laodikia añeo naho i Nimfae naho i Fivory añ’ anjomba’ey.
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.
Ie vinaky ama’ areo ty taratasy toy, le ampamakio ty Fivory e Laodikia añe ka vaho vakio’ areo i amy Laodikiay.
17 Tell Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have been given in the Lord."
Le saontsio amy Arkipo ty hoe: Ehe tomiro i fitoloñañe rinambe’o amy Talèy hañenek’ aze.
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.
Aman-tañako ty añontaneako, Izaho, Paoly. Tiahio o rohikoo. Fañanintsiñe ama’areo.
