Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Bino bankolo, bosungaka bawumbu na bino na nzela ya biloko ya sembo mpe ya solo, pamba te boyebi malamu ete bino mpe bozali na Mokonzi kati na Likolo.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Bozalaka na molende ya kosambela, bosenzelaka mpe bozongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe.
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,
Bobondelaka mpe mpo na biso, na tina ete Nzambe apesa biso mabaku ya koteya Sango Malamu mpo na kosakola mabombami ya Klisto. Mpe ezali mpo na mabombami yango nde ngai nazali mokangami kati na boloko.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Bobondelaka Nzambe mpo ete nasakola yango na polele nyonso, ndenge nasengeli penza kosala.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Botambolaka na bwanya liboso ya bato oyo bazali bandimi te mpe bosalelaka tango na bino na ndenge ya malamu.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Tika ete maloba na bino etondaka tango nyonso na boboto mpe na elengi, mpo ete boyeba ndenge nini koyanola moto nyonso.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
Tishike, ndeko molingami, mosali ya sembo mpe moninga na ngai kati na mosala ya Nkolo, akoyebisa bino makambo nyonso oyo etali ngai.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
Ezali na tina yango nde nazali kotinda ye epai na bino, mpo ete apesa bino basango na tina na biso mpe alendisa bino.
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.
Azali koya elongo na Onezime, ndeko molingami na biso ya solo, oyo azali moko kati na bino. Bakoyebisa bino makambo nyonso oyo ezali koleka awa.
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”),
Arisitarke, moninga na ngai kati na boloko, atindeli bino mbote. Boyamba mpe mbote ya Malako, ndeko ya Barnabasi, oyo na tina na ye napesaki bino mitindo ete, soki ayei epai na bino, boyamba ye malamu.
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 oyo babengaka Jistisi atindeli bino mbote. Kati na Bayuda oyo bakomaki Baklisto, kaka bango nde bazali kosala elongo na ngai mpo na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, mpe bazali mpo na ngai kobondisama mobimba.
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.
Epafrasi, ye oyo azali mpe moko kati na bino mpe mowumbu ya Yesu-Klisto, atindeli bino mbote. Abundaka tango nyonso etumba mpo na bino kati na mabondeli, mpo ete botelema ngwi lokola bato oyo bakembi kati na kondima mpe baselingwa mpo na kokokisa mokano nyonso ya Nzambe.
13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Nazali kotatola solo mpo na ye ete azali kosala mosala makasi mpo na bino, mpo na bandeko ya Laodise mpe mpo na bandeko ya Iyerapolisi.
14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
Monganga Luka, molingami na biso, mpe Demasi batindeli bino mbote.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
Bopesa mbote epai ya bandeko ya Laodise, epai ya Nefa mpe epai ya Lingomba oyo esanganaka kati na ndako na ye.
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.
Soki bosilisi kotanga mokanda oyo, bosala ete etangama mpe kati na Lingomba ya Laodise; bongo bino mpe botanga oyo ekowuta na Laodise.
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
Boloba na Arshipe: « Sala keba na lotomo oyo ozwaki kati na Nkolo mpo ete okokisa yango malamu. »
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
Ngai Polo, napesi bino mbote na kokoma yango na maboko na ngai. Bobosanaka te ete nazali mokangami kati na boloko. Tika ete ngolu ezala na bino!
