Kolosa 4
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, do equity and justice to your servants, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
2 E hoomau i ka pule, e makaala hoi ma ia mea, me ka hoomaikai aku.
In prayer be constant, and be watchful in it, and (in) giving thanks;
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:
praying also for us, that Aloha may open to us the gate of the word, to speak the mystery of the Meshiha, for the sake of which I am bound,
4 I hiki ia'u ke hoomaopopo ia mea, me he mea pono la ia u ke olelo aku.
that I may fully make it manifest, as it behoveth me.
5 E hele naauao oukou mamua o ka poe mawaho, e malama pono ana i ka manawa.
In wisdom walk towards the outward ones, and redeem your opportunity.
6 E hoomauia ka maikai o ka oukou olelo, i miko ia i ka paakai, i ike oukou i ka mea e pono ai ke olelo i kela kanaka a i keia kanaka.
And let your speech at all time be with grace as sprinkled with salt, each one knowing how it becometh him to return the answer.
7 A o ko'u noho ana, na Tukiko ia e hai aku ia oukou, na ka hoahanau aloha, ka lawehana hoopono, ka hoakauwa iloko o ka Haku.
What concerneth me will Tykikos, a beloved brother and faithful minister, and our companion in the Lord, make known to you:
8 Oia ka'u i hoouna aku nei io oukou la, no ia mea, i ike aku ia i ko oukou noho ana, a e hooluolu aku hoi i ko oukou mau naau;
whom I have sent to you for this, that he may know how it is with you, and may comfort your hearts;
9 Me Oneaimo, ka hoahanau aloha hoopono, no oukou mai ia; na laua e hoike aku ia oukou i na mea a pau o nei.
with Onesimos, the faithful and beloved brother who is of you. These will make you know what concerneth us.
10 Ke uwe aku nei o Arisetareko, ko'u hoapio ia oukou, laua o Mareko ke keiki a ko Barenaba kaikuwahine, (nona oukou i kauohaia aku ai, oia ka oukou e hookipa ai, ke hiki aku ia io oukou la, )
Aristarchos, a captive with me, asketh for your peace, and Markos, the nephew of Bar Naba, regarding whom you are directed, that if he come to you, receive him,
11 A me Iesou, i kapa hou ia'i Iouseto, no ke okipoepoe laua O lakou wale no ko'u mau hoalawehana ma ke aupuni o ke Akua, na mea i hooluolu mai nei ia'u.
and Jeshu who is called Justos: these are of the circumcision, and these only have helped me in the kingdom of Aloha, and these have been a consolation to me.
12 Ke uwe aku nei o Epapera ia oukou, no oukou ia, o ke kauwa a Kristo, e hooikaika mau ana no oukou, i ka pule, i ku hemolele oukou me ke kina ole, ma ka makemake a pau o ke Akua.
Epaphra, who is of you, asketh for your peace; a servant of the Meshiha, who is always labouring on your behalf in prayer, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of Aloha.
13 Ke hoike aku nei au nona, he ikaika nui kona no oukou, a no ka poe ma Laodikeia, a me ka poe i Hierapoli.
For I testify of him that he hath a great zeal for you and for those in Laodikia and in Iropolis.
14 Ke uwe aku nei ia oukou o Luka, ke kahuna lapaau punahele, a me Dema.
Lukos our beloved physician, and Dima, ask for your peace.
15 E aloha aku oukou i ka poe hoahanau i Laodikeia, a ia Numepana, a me ka ekalesia iloko o kona hale.
Ask the peace of the brethren who are in Laodikia, and of Nymfa, and of the church which is in his house.
16 Aia heluheluia keia episetole, iwaena o oukou la na oukou e heluhelu hou aku ia i ka ekalesia o ko Laodikeia; a e heluhelu hoi oukou i ka episetole mai Laodikeia mai.
And when this epistle shall have been read to you, cause it also to be read in the church of the Laodikoyee; and that which is written from the Laodikoyee, read you it.
17 E i aku ia Arekipo, E malama oe i ka oihana i loaa ia oe iloko o ka Haku, nau ia e hooponopono.
And say to Arkipos, Be vigilant in the ministry which thou hast received in our Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18 O ke aloha nae, na ka lima ia o'u nei o Paulo. E hoomanao mai i ko'u mea i paa ai. E alohaia mai oukou. Amene.
This salutation with the hand of me, PAULOS. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
