Colossians 4
1 Masters, deal justly and equitably with your slaves, knowing that you too have a Master in Heaven.
Ni ŵanyamwe achakulu mpanganye yaili yambone kwa achikapolo ŵenu mpela yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu, nchimanyililaga kuti nomwe ŵakwe nkwete Ambuje kwinani.
2 Be earnest and unwearied in prayer, being on the alert in it and in your giving of thanks.
Mwapopelele Akunnungu pangapela ni pankupopela mmeje meeso ni kwatogolela Akunnungu.
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.
Iyoyo ntupopelele nowe, kuti Akunnungu atupe lipesa lya kulalichila ntemela nkati Kilisito. Kwa ligongo lya utenga wo, une ndili mu chitaŵiko.
4 Then I shall proclaim it fully, as it is my duty to do.
Nipele mumbopelele kuti ngombole kuŵecheta yaikuti kuŵajilwa kwa litala lyalikukombola kuchiŵika chantemela cho pangasisika.
5 Behave wisely in relation to the outside world, buying up your opportunities.
Njendeje kwa lunda pankutama ni ŵandu ŵangakunkulupilila Kilisito, nchitumiyaga yambone lipesa linkwete.
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.
Moŵa gose aila yose inkusala yakamuchisye ŵandu, ni nkusachilwa kunjanga chambone mundu jwalijose.
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.
Nguntuma che Tukiko kukwenu, jwelejo ali nlongo njetu jwakunonyelwa, jwakutumichila jwakukulupilichika ni kapolo njetu mmasengo ga Ambuje, chammanyisye ŵanyamwe ngani syangu syose.
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.
Kwa ligongo lyo nguntuma kukwenu kuti ajitusye mitima jenu kwakunsalila ngani syetu.
9 And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here.
Akwika pamo ni che Onesimo nlongo njetu jwakunonyelwa ni jwakukulupilichika, jwelejo ali mundu jwa kukwenu. Ŵanyawo ni uchansalile yose yaikutendekwa apano.
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.
Jwantawe njangu che Alisitako akunkomasya. Nombe che Maliko mwipwagwao che Banaba iyoyo akunkomasyanga. Malajisyo gakwe mmasile kugapochela, aikaga kukwenu mwapochele chambone.
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.
Nombe che Yoshua, jwakuŵilanjikwa Yusto iyoyo akunkomasya. Mwa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile ni ŵatatu pewo ŵakupanganya masengo pamo ni une kwa ligongo lya Umwenye wa Akunnungu, ŵanyawo ni ŵakungamusya une.
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.
Che Epafula, njenu, kapolo jwa Kilisito Yesu akunkomasya. Moŵa gose ngaakupela kumpopelela kuti nlimbangane ni kwima chiimile ni kwendelechela kukulupilila ni kupanganya yakuisaka Akunnungu.
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.
Ngukombola kusala umboni nkati ŵelewo kuti akupanganya nnope masengo kwa ligongo lyenu ni kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵa ku Laodikia ni kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵa ku Hielapoli.
14 Luke, the dearly-loved physician, salutes you, and so does Demas.
Che Luka jwantela jwetu jwaunonyelo ni che Dema akunkomasya.
15 Christian greetings to the brethren at Laodicea, especially to Nymphas, and to the Church that meets at their house.
Mwakomasye achalongo achinjetu ŵa ku Laodikia pamo ni che Nimfa ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵakusimana mu nyuumba jao.
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.
Mwamalaga kusyoma chikalata chi mwape mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Laodikia achisyome. Nombe chikalata chinalembele ŵandu ŵa ku Laodikia ampanje ŵanyamwe nsyome.
17 And tell Archippus to discharge carefully the duties devolving upon him as a servant of the Lord.
Mwasalile che Alikipo kuti masengo gapegwile ni Ambuje kupanganya amalichisye.
18 I Paul add with my own hand this final greeting. Be mindful of me in my imprisonment. Grace be with you.
Uneji che Paolo ngulemba yeleyi ni nkono wangu nansyene kunkomasya. Kasindiŵalila kuti une ndili muchitaŵiko. Ngummendela umbone kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
