Avakholosai 4
1 Mwie vantwa, muvapienchaghe avavanda vienyo ifyawayielweli ifyavuononu. Muluomanyaghe ukhuta nayuomwe mlienave Unkhuludheva khuokyanya.
Masters, deal justly and equitably with your slaves, knowing that you too have a Master in Heaven.
2 Mwieyuomielienchaghe ukhughiemba ukhuodhova. Mtamaghe miho nukhuodhova nukhuosana.
Be earnest and unwearied in prayer, being on the alert in it and in your giving of thanks.
3 Muotuodhovelaghe nayuofwe, ukhuota Unguluve atudhiendhuliele eimilyango khuo liemenyu eilyamwene, tuonchovaghe ienchefihiele iencha Klisiti. Nchincho iencha khuomwene niekhuonghiewe.
And pray at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door for preaching, for us to tell the truth concerning Christ for the sake of which I am even a prisoner.
4 Ukhuota nienchievieikhe pavuovalafu, ndhuvuo nchielondhiwa ukhuonchoviewa.
Then I shall proclaim it fully, as it is my duty to do.
5 Muoluotaghe nuoluhala pavulongholo khuovavo valiekhuonji, vumukhuo ghuophokha uonsiekhie.
Behave wisely in relation to the outside world, buying up your opportunities.
6 Amamenyu ghienyo ghavenchaghe nuluosayo amanchuva ghoni, ghanoghaghe umwinyo, pwuo muluomanyaghe umwakhuo vandha avanu voni.
Let your language be always seasoned with the salt of grace, so that you may know how to give every man a fitting answer.
7 Tikiko, vielunkholo lwangho vieghane, viembombi vienonu, vei nghane vangho khuo Ntwa, avalavuola imbombo nchangho nchoni.
Tychicus, our much-loved brother, a trusty assistant and fellow servant with us in the Lord's work, will give you every information about me.
8 Uvieniensuhile khuolyumwe khuo eilyo, ukhuota munchiemanye eimbombo nchienyo umwene vie ikhuovahovosya einumbula nchieinyo.
And for this very purpose I send him to you that you may know how we are faring; and that he may cheer your hearts.
9 Panienei nu Onesimo, ulunkholo lwangho uononu uoghane, umunu uvakhuominyo. Avo vuyaviekhuovavula iembombo nchoni ienchaphakhaya apha.
And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here.
10 U Alistakho, yuoywa akhuonghiwe luonienie nuone, eikhuovaponia, nuo Malika umwie pwave va mwene, uo Balinaba uviemuvupieliele iendaghielo nchamwene, anghienche khulyumwe muomwuopeiliele,”
Aristarchus my fellow prisoner sends greeting to you, and so does Barnabas's cousin Mark. You have received instructions as to him; if he comes to you, give him a welcome.
11 Nuo Yesu uvievikhuontamboula vie Yusito. Avo vuo avanu avakheghetiwe hange avo vene vuvievomba eimbombo nuone khuo nongwa ieyaa luodheva ulw Nghuoluve. Avene vuvakhale luncheso lyango.
Jesus, called Justus, also sends greeting. These three are Hebrew converts. They alone among such have worked loyally with me for the Kingdom of God--they are men who have been a comfort to me.
12 Epafula uvyavile munu va khuominyo, unsuhiwa va Yesu Kklisti. Eikhuvaphonia, eikhietanga amanchuva ghoni ukhuodhova khuonongw ncheinyo, ukhuota mwieme mudhuolukhe nuo khuovonekha vuononu muombuonogwe uwa Nghuluove.
Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, sends greetings to you, always wrestling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand firm--Christians of ripe character and of clear conviction as to everything which is God's will.
13 Ulwakhuva nikhuonchova ukhuota eikhie yuomieliencha khuolyuome, na khuovala vavo valiekhuo Laodiki, na khuo vavo valie khuo Hielapoli.
For I can bear witness to the deep interest he takes in you and in the brethren at Laodicea and in those at Hierapolis.
14 U Lukha uoghangha uoghane, nuo Dema viekhuovaponia.
Luke, the dearly-loved physician, salutes you, and so does Demas.
15 Muvaponiaghe avaluonkholo lwangho vavo valiekhuo Laodikia, nuo Nimfa, ni tembile yeiyo yielie khuonyumba eiyamwene.
Christian greetings to the brethren at Laodicea, especially to Nymphas, and to the Church that meets at their house.
16 Ei balua eiye muonghamale ukwiemba khuolyuomwe, pwuo vakhiembe na khuo tembile ei ya khuo valaodikia. na khuo Laodikia muokhiembe youmwe.
And when this Letter has been read among you, let it be read also in the Church of the Laodiceans, and you in turn must read the one I am sending to Laodicea.
17 Muombaule uo Alkipo, “Alolage vuononu uvuovombeli vuowa akhaviela khuo Ntwa, ukhuota lienkhonghiwe.”
And tell Archippus to discharge carefully the duties devolving upon him as a servant of the Lord.
18 Uluosamusyo iwango uone nie - Pavuoli. Khuokhie voko kyango yuone. Mkhuombuokhaghe ukhaunkhungiwa khwangho uone. uluosayo luovienchaghe pwuo panie nie nuomwe.
I Paul add with my own hand this final greeting. Be mindful of me in my imprisonment. Grace be with you.
