Colossians 4

1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

Awuranom, momma mo asomfoɔ deɛ ɛtene. Monkae sɛ mo nso mowɔ Owura wɔ ɔsoro.

2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,

Mommɔ mpaeɛ daa. Monyɛ nnam wɔ mo mpaeɛbɔ mu na monna Onyankopɔn ase.

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,

Ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, mommɔ mpaeɛ mma yɛn nso na Onyankopɔn ama yɛn mu kwan ama yɛatumi aka Asɛmpa no ne Kristo ho ahintasɛm. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno enti na meda afiase no.

4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.

Mommɔ mpaeɛ na matumi akasa ama nteaseɛ aba mu sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa.

5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

Ɛberɛ biara a mobɛnya kwan ne wɔn a wɔnyɛ agyedifoɔ no ahyia no, mo ne wɔn nkasa nyansa mu.

6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Daa, monka kasa pa a ɛyɛ anigye nkyerɛ wɔn na momma wɔn mu biara mmuaeɛ pa.

7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.

Yɛn nuabarima pa Tihiko a ɔyɛ odwumayɛfoɔ pa na ɔsane yɛ Awurade adwumayɛ mu ɔsomfoɔ no bɛka me ho asɛm akyerɛ mo.

8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

Ɛno enti na meresoma no aba mo nkyɛn sɛ ɔmmɛka sɛdeɛ yɛrekɔ so fa mfa nhyɛ mo den no.

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.

Onua Onesimo a ɔyɛ ɔdɔfoɔ nokwafoɔ na ɔsane fra mo kuo mu no ne no na ɛreba. Wɔbɛka biribiara a ɛrekɔ so wɔ ha akyerɛ mo.

10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, “if he comes to you, receive him”),

Me yɔnko Aristarko a ɔne me da afiase no kyea mo. Saa ara na Barnaba wɔfaase Marko nso kyea mo. Wɔaka akyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ ɔba mo nkyɛn a, monnye no fɛ so.

11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.

Yesu a wɔfrɛ no Yusto no nso kyea mo. Saa nnipa baasa yi nko ara ne Yudafoɔ agyidifoɔ a me ne wɔn reyɛ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho adwuma a wɔaboa me yie.

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 complete in all the will of God.

Kristo Yesu ɔsomfoɔ a wɔfrɛ no Epafra a ɔfra mo kuo mu no nso kyea mo. Daa ɔbɔ mpaeɛ denden srɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔnhyɛ mo den na ɔmma mo nyansa na mommrɛ mo ho ase mma nʼapɛdeɛ.

13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.

Mɛtumi adi ne nsiyɛ ho adanseɛ akyerɛ mo ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Laodikea ne Hierapoli no.

14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.

Luka a ɔyɛ yɛn yaresafoɔ pa no ne Dema kyea mo.

15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.

Yɛkyea anuanom a wɔwɔ Laodikea ne Nimfa ne asafo a wɔhyia wɔ ne fie no.

16 When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.

Sɛ mokan saa nwoma yi wie a, monhwɛ sɛ mobɛkan akyerɛ asafo a wɔwɔ Laodikea no. Saa ara nso na monkan nwoma a ɛfiri Laodikea no.

17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”

Monka nkyerɛ Arkipo sɛ, “Bɔ mmɔden sɛ wobɛwie ɔsom a wɔde ahyɛ wo nsa wɔ Awurade din mu no.”

18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.

Me, Paulo, me nsa ano atwerɛ a mede kyea mo nie: Monkae me mpɔkyerɛ no. Onyankopɔn adom nka mo.
