Colossians 4
1 You masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, because you know that you have a master who is in heaven [who will say whether he approves of what you have done].
Hagi kva vahe'mota, kazokzo eri'za vahetamia fatgo huno knarema hu'nesia tamavutamava hunezmanteta magomofonkukera osiho. Na'ankure tamagra antahi'naze, tamagri'enena mago Kva vahetamia monafinka mani'ne.
2 Pray to God persistently, and as you pray, be alert and be thanking God.
Nunamuma hu'zana azeri hankavetineta, kava huta mani'neta Anumzamofoma susu hunte avu'ava zana otreho.
3 Since I am in prison [MTY] because [I declared the message about Christ] that God has now revealed, pray also for me that God will give me opportunities [MTY] to speak, in order that I might declare it.
Hagi tagri'enena nunamu hunerantenkeno, Anumzamo'a kana erifore hina nanekema hanunazamo'a, vuno eno hanigeta, Kraisi naneke'ama oku me'nea kea erinteama hamneno. Na'ankure nagrira ana nanekema huama huazanteku kina hunante'naze.
4 That is, pray for me that [God will enable me to] make his message known publicly. I need to do this because I know that I should declare it.
Nunamu nehinkeno nanekema huama hanua nanekemo'a, ama hino.
5 Act wisely towards those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus [MTY]; use every opportunity to do that.
Zamentinti osu vahe'ma maninesafina, kakamuma fore hanigetma hakarezama hanazana kva hunetma, ama antahintahi zanteti knare tamavutmava huzamaveri hiho.
6 In particular, always speak graciously and in a pleasant way [to those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus]. As a result, you will come to know in what manner you should answer each one of them.
Maka zupa vahe'mofoma zamazeri so'ehu nanekege nehinke'za, zamagrama antahisazana, ketamimo'a knare huno haga hino. Tamantahige nanekema hanazana, trohuneta knare hutma kenona huzamanteho.
7 Tychicus will tell you all that has been happening to me. He is a fellow believer whom I/we [(exc)] love and who helps me faithfully and who serves the Lord [Jesus] together with me.
Hagi Tikikusina, tusi'za hu'na navesinentoa nenafukino, vahe kegavahu eri'zana agu'areti tamage huno e'nerino, nagrane magoka Ramofonte kazokzo eri'za eneru'a nekino, ana miko nagri nagenkea eme tamasamigahie.
8 The reason that I am sending Tychicus to you [with this letter] is that he might know how you are and in order that he might strengthen you [spiritually]. (OR, in order that you might know about us [(exc)] and in order that he might comfort you.)
Nagra ama agafare huntogeno tamagritega e'ne. Nankna huta tagra amafina eri'zana e'nerune, anazamofo naneke eme neramasamino tamagu'a tamazeri hankavetigahie.
9 I am sending him to you with Onesimus, who is a faithful fellow believer whom I/we [(inc)] love and who is your fellow townsman. They will tell you all about what has been happening here.
Nagra huntogeno Onesimusi'a Tikikusi'ene ne-e. Agra tamagripinti magotamimokino, tamage huno agu'areti eri'zana enerigeta tavesinentona nerafukino, agra Tikikusi'ene esu'ne ana miko'zama tagrite'ma fore'ma nehiazamofo agenkea eme tamasamigaha'e.
10 Aristarchus, who is in prison with me, and Mark, who is Barnabas’ cousin, (say that they are thinking fondly about you/send you their greetings). I have instructed you about Mark, so if he comes to you, welcome him.
Hagi Aristakusi'a nagrane kina huta kina nompi manino'a ne'mo musenke atreneramantegeno, anazanke huno Banabasina nefu, Maki'a musenke huramante. Ko'ma agri agenkea tamasmi'noa nekino, tamagritega esigetma muse hutma avreho.
11 Jesus, who is also called Justus, also (says that he is thinking fondly about you/greets you/sends you his greetings). These three men are the only Jewish [believers] who are working with me in order that people would submit to God as their king, and they have all comforted me.
Hagi Jisasi'e hu'za nehaza ne'mofo mago agi'a Jastusikino, agranena musenke atreramante. Zamuvufga tgahu Jiu vahepinti e'inama'amo'za nagranena magoka Anumzamofo kumakura eri'zana eneri'za knare hu'za nazeri hanaveneti'za nagare.
12 Epaphras, who is your fellow townsman and who serves Christ Jesus, (says that he is thinking fondly about you/greets you/sends you his greetings). Epaphras prays earnestly for you very often, that you might be spiritually mature and that you might know fully all that God wills for you.
Epafrasi'a Krais Jisasi kazokzo eri'za ne' tamagri kumateti nekino, musenke atreramante. Agra tamagrikura tusi'za huno, Anumzamo'ma avesinea kante tamaza hanigeta oti hanavenetita, nena vahekna nehutma ana mikomotma hakare zampina ama hanazegu nunamuna maka zupa huneramantea nere.
13 I can assure you that he prays this because he is deeply concerned for you, for those who live in Laodicea [city], and for those who live in Hierapolis [city].
Nagra agrikura huama hu'na tamasamiza hue, agra tusiza huno tamagriku'ene Laodisia kumatea mono nagamotane, Hierapolisi mono nagamotagura tusi'za huno agesa antahineramia nere.
14 Luke, the doctor, whom I/we [(exc)] love, and Demas (say that they are thinking fondly about you/send you their greetings).
Nerafu tusa ne' Luku'ene Demasikea musenke atreramanta'e.
15 Tell the fellow believers who live in Laodicea [city] and Nympha and the congregation that [meets] in her house that we (are thinking fondly about them/send them our greetings).
Nagri musenkea Laodisia kumate mani'naza mono naga'ene Nimfa'ema nehaza a'ene noma'afima atruma hu'za mono'ma nehaza nagara ome zmasamiho.
16 After [someone] reads this letter [publicly] to you, cause [someone] to also read it to the congregation that is in Laodicea [city]. And as for the [letter that I wrote to the congregation that is in] Laodicea [city], make sure that it is also read among you {you should also read that letter} publicly.
Tamagrama ama ana avoma hampri vagamaretesuta, Laodisia mono nagara zaminke'za zamagranena hamprisageta, tamagranena zamagri avona hampriho.
17 Say to Archippus, “Make sure that you complete the task that God appointed you to do, because you have a close relationship with the Lord Jesus.”
Hagi Arkipasina asamiho, Anumzamo'ma kami'nea eri'zana kva hu'nenka erivagaro huta asamiho.
18 I, Paul, (am thinking fondly about you/send you my greetings). Having taken the pen from my scribe, I am now writing this myself in order that you may know that I have truly sent this letter. Remember to pray about the fact that I am in prison [MTY]. I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ would continue to act graciously towards you all.
Poli'na nagrani'a nazampinti ama musenkea kreramue. Kinafima mani'noa zankura tamagera kanionanteho. Anumzamofo Asunkuzamo'a tamagrane mesie.
