1 E NA a haku, e haawi aku na na kauwa i ka mea pono, a me ka ewaewa ole; ua ike oukou ho Haku ko oukou ma ka lani.
Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,
3 No makou kekahi e pule ai oukou, i wehe mai ke Akua i ka puka no makou e olelo ai, e hai aku i ka mea pohihihi o Kristo i ko'u mea i hoopeaia mai nei:
as you pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.
4 I hiki ia'u ke hoomaopopo ia mea, me he mea pono la ia u ke olelo aku.
Pray that I may declare it clearly, as I should.
