Colossians 4
1 The masters! that which is righteous and equal to the servants give ye, having known that ye also have a Master in the heavens.
Mmwe bakama b’abaddu, mubenga benkanya eri abaddu bammwe nga mumanyi nti nammwe mulina Mukama wammwe mu ggulu.
2 In the prayer continue ye, watching in it in thanksgiving;
Munyiikirirenga mu kusaba, nga temuddirira, wabula nga mwebazanga
3 praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,
nga mwenna awamu mutusabira Katonda atuggulirewo oluggi okubuulira Enjiri, n’okutegeeza ekyama kya Kristo, kye nasibirwa.
4 that I may manifest it, as it behoveth me to speak;
Ndyoke njolesenga ekyama ekyo nga bwe kiŋŋwanidde okukyogerako.
5 in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;
Abo abatannakkiriza mutambulenga nabo n’amagezi, nga mukozesa bulungi ebiseera bye mulina.
6 your word always in grace — with salt being seasoned — to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.
Enjogera yammwe ebeerenga ya kisa, era ng’enoga omunnyo, mulyoke mumanye eky’okwanukulanga buli muntu yenna.
7 All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus — the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord —
Tukiko owooluganda omwagalwa era omuweereza omwesigwa era muddu munnaffe mu Mukama waffe alibategeeza ebinfaako byonna.
8 whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,
Kyenva mmutuma gye muli mulyoke mumanye ebitufaako, era abazzeemu n’amaanyi,
9 with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that [are] here.
awamu ne Onesimo owooluganda omwagalwa era omwesigwa, omu ku b’ewammwe; balibategeeza byonna ebifa eno.
10 Salute you doth Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, and Marcus, the nephew of Barnabas, (concerning whom ye did receive commands — if he may come unto you receive him, )
Alisutaluuko, musibe munnange, ne Makko omujjwa wa Balunabba, gwe baabagambako nti bw’aliba ng’aze gye muli mumusembezanga, babatumidde;
11 and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only [are] fellow-workers for the reign of God who did become a comfort to me.
ne Yesu ayitibwa Yusito abalamusizza. Abo be Bayudaaya, bakozi bannange bokka mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda, abaanzizaamu amaanyi.
12 Salute you doth Epaphras, who [is] of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,
Epafula ow’ewammwe, omuddu wa Kristo Yesu, afuba bulijjo ku lwammwe okubasabira, mulyoke muyimirirenga nga munywedde mu kukkiriza era nga mutegeereranga ddala mu byonna Katonda by’ayagala, abalamusizza.
13 for I do testify to him, that he hath much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
Kubanga mmuweera obujulirwa, nga bw’afuba ennyo ku lwammwe, n’ab’omu Lawodikiya, n’ab’omu Kiyerapoli.
14 Salute you doth Lukas, the beloved physician, and Demas;
Lukka, omusawo omwagalwa ne Dema, babalamusizza.
15 salute ye those in Laodicea — brethren, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house;
Mulamuse abooluganda ab’omu Lawodikiya, ne Nunfa, n’ekkanisa ekuŋŋaanira mu nnyumba ye.
16 and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the [epistle] from Laodicea that ye also may read;
Ebbaluwa eno bw’emalanga okusomebwa mu mmwe, mulabe nti esomerwa n’ab’ekkanisa y’omu Lawodikiya, era nammwe musome ebbaluwa eriva e Lawodikiya.
17 and say to Archippus, 'See to the ministration that thou didst receive in the Lord, that thou mayest fulfil it.'
Era mugambe Alukipo nti, “Ssaayo omwoyo ku kuweereza kwe waweebwa mu Mukama waffe, okutuukirize.”
18 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace [is] with you. Amen.
Nze Pawulo nzennyini nze mpandiise okulamusa kuno. Munzijukirenga mu busibe bwange. Ekisa kibeerenga nammwe.
