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].
Atu vdwv, nonugv nyira nga anyakayak bv okv minchimiyi mabv rigv tvlaka. Mvnggap tvlaka nonuka nyidomooku lo Ahtu svdv go doopv nvla.
2 Pray to God persistently, and as you pray, be alert and be thanking God.
Kumnam am kumbv tvlaka, okv nonugv kumla riyinyi chvrvsopa bv kumtolaka, Pwknvyarnvnyi umbonyikv vla kumto laka.
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.
Vbv dvdvbv vdwlo nonu kumredw ngonu lvgabvka kumji laka, vkvlvgavbolo Kristo gv arwng kokwngnv ninyigv doin sum gamdak alvbv japgo karnv nvnv nga Pwknvyarnv ngonua jire. Vkvlvgabv vjak ngoogv pachipatwk doodung dunv si holvgabv doodunv.
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.
Vbvrikunamv, ngoogv minsvpasv am, ngo rvbwng alvbv minla dubv, kumto laka.
5 Act wisely towards those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus [MTY]; use every opportunity to do that.
Ogolo lamtv chinglo mvngjwng manv dookulo nonu mindu padudw um nonu alvbv chinvpanv bv mintorito laka, nonu gvlo ogunv gamdak go rinvvngnv paadudw um alvbv kaatamritam nvvto laka.
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.
Nonugv minam am tvyenkapak dubv okv tvnwng dubv mirung tvlaka, okv nonu nyichar mvnwng nga ogunvgo mirwktamrwk svngvdw um chindu bv rirung tvlaka.
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.
Ngonugv aya minsunam ajin Taichikus, oogv jwkjwkvrwk dubv kudungkua rinv okv Ahtu gvlo pakbu bv kudungkua ribam ajin, vv ngoogv lvkwnglo yunying nga nonuam mintam jire.
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.)
Vkvlvgavbolo ngonu mvnwng ngv oguaingbv ridungdakdung dunvdw, um nonua mvngpu monam lvgabv mintvmiru jimu dubv vla ngo ninyia nonu gvlo vngmuto.
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.
Ninyigv vngkulo onesimusnyi lvkobv vngming gvvmu dunv, oogv nonugv apumara lokv achialv bv aya rungnv okv mvngjwng rungnv rinv ajingo. Bunu vdwv soogv ridungdakdung nam dvdv nga um nonua minjire.
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.
Ngam patwk dooming gvnv Aristarkas, okv Barnabas gv nyingbwng, Mark bunu vdwv soogv kumrwklwktak sinam gaam sum nonua jilwk dunvka. (Mark gv nonu gvlo aalwk lakula riyikunyi nonuno alvbv kumrwklvtak silaka vla minam gaam sum alvbv tvvcho tvku.)
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.
Justus vla minam, Josua ka nonua kumrwklvtak sinam gaam sum jilwk dunv. Hoogv Pwknvyarnv gv karv lvgabv ngoogv lvkobv kudungkua rinv ngv soogv nyidum aom mvngchik si riming gvvtoku, okv bunu vdwv ngam maatar alvbv modur toku.
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.
Nonugv atwng lokv akingonv okv Jisu Kristo gv kudungkua am rinv, Epapras gv lokvka alvbvkv vla kumrwklwktak sinam gaam go jilwkdu. Hv nonugv lvgabv dinchi rungbv, nonugv Pwknvyarnv gvlo vngdvng alvbv doodubv, kamchik kunv gobv okv Kristan vrungbo mvngsu ladukubv, Pwknvyarnv gv mvnglwk dvdv ngaka tvvpwngtvvnya la ridubv vla kumbv la riduku.
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].
Nonugv lvgabv okv laodisia okv Hierapolis nyi vdwgv lvgabv ninyigv kudungkua rijinam um ngo ngw awv minji ladu.
14 Luke, the doctor, whom I/we [(exc)] love, and Demas (say that they are thinking fondly about you/send you their greetings).
Ngonugv ayanam ajin daktor, luk okv Demas ka bunugv kumrwklwtak sinam gaam am nonua jilwk la ridu.
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).
Ngonugv alvbvkv vla milwknam um Laodisia gv mvngjwngnv vdwa okv Nympanyi okv vkvgv naam lo gvrja doodumdopa sinv vdwa minji laka.
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.
Nonuno soogv siti sum rironam kokwng bv, Laodisia gv gvrja ara loka sum rimu rungdubv riji tvvlaka. Vbvripia chingbv, Laodisia ara lokv mvngjwngnv vdwgvlo jilwk jinam siti umka nonu puri rilaka.
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.”
Okv Arkippusnyi mindu, “Ahtu gv kudungkua ridubv jinam am alvbv ringam nyato laka.”
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.
Awgv laak daadw lokv ngo lvkdunv: Paul lokv kumrwklwtak sinam Ngoogv rvngja gvvnam am mvngpa mabv riyoka! Pwknvyarnv gv anyuaya namv nonu gvlo doomin gvi laka.
