Kolòs 4
1 Nou menm mèt yo, aji byen ak domestik nou yo, san fè okenn lenjistis. Chonje byen, nou menm tou nou gen yon mèt nan syèl la.
The masters! that which is righteous and equal to the servants give ye, having known that ye also have a Master in the heavens.
2 Pa janm sispann lapriyè. Pa kite dòmi pran nou. Toujou chonje lapriyè pou di Bondye mèsi.
In the prayer continue ye, watching in it in thanksgiving;
3 Anmenmtan, lapriyè pou mwen tou, pou Bondye ban m' okazyon pou m' fè konnen pawòl li a, pou m' fè lèzòm konnen sekrè Kris la. Se poutèt sekrè sa a menm mwen nan prizon koulye a.
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,
4 Lapriyè pou m' ka rive fè lèzòm wè l' aklè, pou m' ka pale jan mwen dwe pale a.
that I may manifest it, as it behoveth me to speak;
5 Pran prekosyon pou nou aji byen avè moun ki pa kretyen yo. Pa kite okenn chans pase.
in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;
6 Lè n'ap pale, di bagay ki pou fè yo kontan, ki pou enterese yo. Konn ki jan pou nou reponn chak moun.
your word always in grace — with salt being seasoned — to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.
7 Frè Tichik se yon bon zanmi m', yon bon sèvitè Kris la k'ap ban m' yon bon konkou nan sèvis Seyè a. La ban nou tout nouvèl mwen.
All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus — the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord —
8 Mwen voye l' ban nou tout espre pou l' ka di nou jan mwen ye, pou l' ka remoute kouraj nou.
whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,
9 Frè Onezim ki moun menm kote ak nou ap vin ansanm avè li. Se yon bon zanmi mwen renmen anpil. Yo tou de va di nou sa k'ap pase bò isit.
with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that [are] here.
10 Aristak ki nan prizon ansanm avè m' voye bonjou pou nou. Mak, kouzen Banabas la, voye bonjou tou. (Mwen te deja di nou sa pou nou fè pou li: resevwa l' byen si l' vin lakay nou).
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, )
11 Jezi, ki gen yon ti non Joustous, voye bonjou pou nou tou. Twa mesye sa yo, se yo menm sèlman pami jwif yo k'ap travay avè m' pou gouvènman Bondye ki wa a. Yo te ban m' anpil kouraj.
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.
12 Epafras, ki moun Kolòs tou, voye bonjou pou nou. Sèvitè Kris sa a pa manke lapriyè anpil pou nou pou nou ka rete fèm, pou nou ka fin grandi nèt nan konfyans nou nan Bondye, pou nou ka toujou byen dispoze pou fè tou sa Bondye mande nou.
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,
13 Mwen ka di nou sa: l'ap fatige kò l' anpil pou nou menm moun Kolòs yo, pou moun Lawodise yo ansanm ak moun Yerapolis yo.
for I do testify to him, that he hath much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
14 Lik, bon dòktè mwen an, ansanm ak Demas voye bonjou pou nou tou.
Salute you doth Lukas, the beloved physician, and Demas;
15 Di tout frè Lawodise yo bonjou. Pa bliye Nenfas ansanm ak tout frè ki konn reyini lakay li yo.
salute ye those in Laodicea — brethren, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house;
16 Lè n'a fin li lèt sa a, voye l' bay legliz Lawodise a pou yo ka li l' tou. Nou menm tou, n'a li lèt moun Lawodise yo va voye ban nou an.
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;
17 Di Achip pou mwen: Fè atansyon. Sèvis yo ba l' fè nan travay Seyè a, se pou l' fè l' byen.
and say to Archippus, 'See to the ministration that thou didst receive in the Lord, that thou mayest fulfil it.'
18 Se mwen menm Pòl, ak men pa m', k'ap ekri nou koulye a: Bonjou pou nou tout. Pa bliye m' nan prizon an. benediksyon Bondye pou nou tout.
The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace [is] with you. Amen.
