Colossians 4
1 Masters, deal justly and equitably with your slaves, knowing that you too have a Master in Heaven.
Boei rhoek, sal rhoek taengah a dueng neh vanatnah te tueng sak. Nangmih khaw vaan ah Boeipa na khueh uh te ming uh.
2 Be earnest and unwearied in prayer, being on the alert in it and in your giving of thanks.
Thangthuinah te khuituk uh. Amah dongah uemonah neh hak uh.
3 And pray at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door for preaching, for us to tell the truth concerning Christ for the sake of which I am even a prisoner.
Kaimih ham khaw pahoi thangthui uh. Te daengah ni Khrih kah olhuep thui ham te Pathen loh olthang kah thohka te kaimih ham a ong eh.
4 Then I shall proclaim it fully, as it is my duty to do.
Te ham m'pinyen van coeng. Te daengah ni ka thui ham a kuek vanbangla ka phoe eh.
5 Behave wisely in relation to the outside world, buying up your opportunities.
A voel kah rhoek taengah cueihnah neh pongpa uh. A tue te tlan uh.
6 Let your language be always seasoned with the salt of grace, so that you may know how to give every man a fitting answer.
Nangmih kah olka tah lungvatnah neh om taitu saeh. Lungkaeh neh aka hlihlim tangtae loh pakhat rhip taengah metla na doo uh hamla a kuek khaw a ming.
7 Tychicus, our much-loved brother, a trusty assistant and fellow servant with us in the Lord's work, will give you every information about me.
Kai kawng te thintlo ka manuca neh Boeipa ah uepom tueihyoeih neh sal puei Tukhiko loh nangmih taengah boeih a phoe bitni.
8 And for this very purpose I send him to you that you may know how we are faring; and that he may cheer your hearts.
Te ham rhoe ni anih te nangmih taengah kan tueih. Te daengah ni Kaimih kawng te na ming uh vetih nangmih thinko te a hloep eh.
9 And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here.
Thintlo uepom manuca Onisema neh kan tueih bitni. Anih khaw nangmih khuiah ni a om. Hekah rhoek he nangmih taengah te boeih a phoe bitni.
10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner sends greeting to you, and so does Barnabas's cousin Mark. You have received instructions as to him; if he comes to you, give him a welcome.
Kai kah thongtla puei Aristarkhu neh Barnabas kah a ca Marku loh nangmih te kut n'tuuk. Anih ham oluen te na dang uh coeng. Nangmih taengla anih ha pawk a tah doe uh.
11 Jesus, called Justus, also sends greeting. These three are Hebrew converts. They alone among such have worked loyally with me for the Kingdom of God--they are men who have been a comfort to me.
Justu la a khue Jesuh long khaw nangmih kut n'tuuk. Yahvinrhetnah khuiah amih rhoek bueng ni Pathen kah ram ah bibipuei la aka om uh. Amih ni kai ham rhaemhalnah la aka om coeng.
12 Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, sends greetings to you, always wrestling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand firm--Christians of ripe character and of clear conviction as to everything which is God's will.
Nangmih khuikah Epaphras, Khrih Jesuh kah sal loh nangmih kut n'tuuk. Thangthuinah dongah nangmih ham thingthuel taitu coeng. Te daengah ni lungcuei la na pai uh vetih a cungkuem ah Pathen kah kongaih te na ming uh eh.
13 For I can bear witness to the deep interest he takes in you and in the brethren at Laodicea and in those at Hierapolis.
Nangmih ham khaw, Laodicea neh Hierapolis ham khaw tloh mat a yook tila anih ham ka laipai.
14 Luke, the dearly-loved physician, salutes you, and so does Demas.
Ka thintlo siboei Luka neh Demas loh nangmih te kut n'tuuk.
15 Christian greetings to the brethren at Laodicea, especially to Nymphas, and to the Church that meets at their house.
Laodicea kah manuca rhoek long khaw Nympha neh a im kah hlangboel te han toidal uh.
16 And when this Letter has been read among you, let it be read also in the Church of the Laodiceans, and you in turn must read the one I am sending to Laodicea.
Te phoeiah nangmih taengkah capat na tae uh takuem vaengah Laodicea kah hlangboel long khaw tae sak uh lamtah Laodicea kah capat te nangmih khaw tae uh.
17 And tell Archippus to discharge carefully the duties devolving upon him as a servant of the Lord.
Akrippas ham khaw thui pauh. Boeipa ah na dang bibi te coeng sak ham ngaithuen.
18 I Paul add with my own hand this final greeting. Be mindful of me in my imprisonment. Grace be with you.
Toidalnah he kamah Paul kah kut rhep ni. Kai kah hloong te poek uh. Lungvatnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.
