コロサイ人への手紙 4
1 主人たる者よ、汝らも天に主あるを知れば、義と公平とをもて其の僕をあしらへ。
Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
2 汝ら感謝しつつ目を覺して祈を常にせよ。
Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
3 また我らの爲にも祈りて、神の我らに御言を傳ふる門をひらき、我等をしてキリストの奧義を語らしめ、
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;
4 之を我が語るべき如く顯させ給はんことを願へ、我はこの奧義のために繋がれたり。
that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
5 なんぢら機をうかがひ、外の人に對し知慧をもて行へ。
Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6 汝らの言は常に惠を用ひ、鹽にて味つけよ。然らば如何にして各人に答ふべきかを知らん。
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
7 愛する兄弟、忠實なる役者、主にありて我とともに僕たるテキコ、我がことを具に汝らに知らせん。
All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord.

I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts,
9 汝らの中の一人、忠實なる愛する兄弟オネシモを彼と共につかはす、彼 等この處の事を具に汝らに知らせん。
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.
