Bakolose 4
1 Bino bankolo, bosungaka bawumbu na bino na nzela ya biloko ya sembo mpe ya solo, pamba te boyebi malamu ete bino mpe bozali na Mokonzi kati na Likolo.
Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 Bozalaka na molende ya kosambela, bosenzelaka mpe bozongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe.
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Bobondelaka mpe mpo na biso, na tina ete Nzambe apesa biso mabaku ya koteya Sango Malamu mpo na kosakola mabombami ya Klisto. Mpe ezali mpo na mabombami yango nde ngai nazali mokangami kati na boloko.
Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4 Bobondelaka Nzambe mpo ete nasakola yango na polele nyonso, ndenge nasengeli penza kosala.
That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Botambolaka na bwanya liboso ya bato oyo bazali bandimi te mpe bosalelaka tango na bino na ndenge ya malamu.
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Tika ete maloba na bino etondaka tango nyonso na boboto mpe na elengi, mpo ete boyeba ndenge nini koyanola moto nyonso.
Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7 Tishike, ndeko molingami, mosali ya sembo mpe moninga na ngai kati na mosala ya Nkolo, akoyebisa bino makambo nyonso oyo etali ngai.
All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
8 Ezali na tina yango nde nazali kotinda ye epai na bino, mpo ete apesa bino basango na tina na biso mpe alendisa bino.
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
9 Azali koya elongo na Onezime, ndeko molingami na biso ya solo, oyo azali moko kati na bino. Bakoyebisa bino makambo nyonso oyo ezali koleka awa.
With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
10 Arisitarke, moninga na ngai kati na boloko, atindeli bino mbote. Boyamba mpe mbote ya Malako, ndeko ya Barnabasi, oyo na tina na ye napesaki bino mitindo ete, soki ayei epai na bino, boyamba ye malamu.
Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, ( touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him; )
11 Yesu oyo babengaka Jistisi atindeli bino mbote. Kati na Bayuda oyo bakomaki Baklisto, kaka bango nde bazali kosala elongo na ngai mpo na Bokonzi ya Nzambe, mpe bazali mpo na ngai kobondisama mobimba.
And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
12 Epafrasi, ye oyo azali mpe moko kati na bino mpe mowumbu ya Yesu-Klisto, atindeli bino mbote. Abundaka tango nyonso etumba mpo na bino kati na mabondeli, mpo ete botelema ngwi lokola bato oyo bakembi kati na kondima mpe baselingwa mpo na kokokisa mokano nyonso ya Nzambe.
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 Nazali kotatola solo mpo na ye ete azali kosala mosala makasi mpo na bino, mpo na bandeko ya Laodise mpe mpo na bandeko ya Iyerapolisi.
For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
14 Monganga Luka, molingami na biso, mpe Demasi batindeli bino mbote.
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15 Bopesa mbote epai ya bandeko ya Laodise, epai ya Nefa mpe epai ya Lingomba oyo esanganaka kati na ndako na ye.
Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the Assembly which is in his house.
16 Soki bosilisi kotanga mokanda oyo, bosala ete etangama mpe kati na Lingomba ya Laodise; bongo bino mpe botanga oyo ekowuta na Laodise.
And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the Assembly of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
17 Boloba na Arshipe: « Sala keba na lotomo oyo ozwaki kati na Nkolo mpo ete okokisa yango malamu. »
And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18 Ngai Polo, napesi bino mbote na kokoma yango na maboko na ngai. Bobosanaka te ete nazali mokangami kati na boloko. Tika ete ngolu ezala na bino!
The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen. Written from Rome to the Colossians by Tychicus and Onesimus.
