Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Amwe omukute beshincito, kamwikalanga nabo munshila yelela, kayi ilayandikinga, pakwinga nenjamwe mukute lamulangililinga Mwami wenu wa Kwilu.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Kamutaleka kupaila, mpomulapailinga kamubani babangamana, kayi mulumbenga Lesa.
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,
Mutupaililengonga kwambeti Lesa atucalwile cishinga cakukambauka makani a bintu byalikuba byasolekwa bilambanga sha Klistu, encondasungilwa mu jele kuno.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Neco kamumpaililangonga kwambeti nkambaukenga ne kwasansulula cena makani awa.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Pitilishani kwenda mwa mano pakati pabantu bakunsa, kayi sebenseshani cena cindi cenu ca kubakambaukila makani.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Cindi conse kwamba kwenu kube kwa luse, kwa kwibaka, kayi mwela kwishiba cena mwakukumbwila muntu uliyense.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
Mwanse wetu ngotusuni Tukiko, nakamwambile makani alenshikinga pali njame kuno, ni muname washomeka mu ncito ya Mwami Yesu.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
Encendamutumininga uko kwambeti amwishibishe ncetulekalanga kayi ne kumuyuminisha.
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.
Nakese uko pamo ne Onesimo mwanse wasunika kayi washomeka mu mubungano wenu, nibakamwambile byonse bilenshikinga kuno.
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”),
Alisitako uli muno mu jele pamo nenjame lamupanga mitende, nendi Maliko mufyala munendi Banabasi lamupanga mitende, ndalamwishibisha kwambeti mukamutambule ca makasa abili akesa uko Maliko.
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.
Nendi Yoswa ngobakute kukuweti Yusito lamupanga mitende. Aba Bayuda batatu bonka embondasebensenga nabo mu ncito ya Bwami bwa Lesa, kayi ebalanjuminishinga.
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.
Nendi Epafula wa mu mubungano wenu musebenshi wa Klistu Yesu lamupanga mitende, nendi eukute mpapa sha kumupaililako kwambeti lushomo lwenu lushimpe kayi mubulenga kutonshanya mubenga bakwana mulushomo pakwinsa lusuno lwa Lesa.
13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Njame kamboni pa ncito yonse njalamusebenselenga mwa ngofu muli ku Lawodikaya ne ku Helapoli.
14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
Luka mung'anga wasunika ne Dema balamupanga mitende.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
Kamuntwalilako mitende ku banse bali ku Lawodikaya, ne kuli mwanse wame Nimfa, kayi ne kuli bonse bakute kubungana mu ng'anda yakendi.
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.
Mwakapwisha kubelenga kalata iyi mukabape baku Lawodikaya bakaibelenge, nenjamwe mukamante ne kubelenga yalatumwa ku Lawodikaya.
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
Kayi mumwambilishe Alikipo kwambeti “Sebensa cena ncito njalakupa Mwami Yesu ne kwipwisha.”
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
Lino njame Paulo ndemwine ndalembenga ne cikasa cakame ndeti “mitende”. Pitilishani kwanuka nshimbi shebansunga nasho muno mu jele. Luse lwa Lesa lube nenjamwe.
