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, afford to your servants what is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in the heavens.
2 Bozalaka na molende ya kosambela, bosenzelaka mpe bozongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe.
Continue instant in prayer, watching in it 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.
at the same time, also, praying for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the secret of Christ, for which, indeed, I am 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 who are without, gaining 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 always with gracefulness, seasoned with salt, knowing how you ought to answer every one.
7 Tishike, ndeko molingami, mosali ya sembo mpe moninga na ngai kati na mosala ya Nkolo, akoyebisa bino makambo nyonso oyo etali ngai.
All things concerning me, Tychicus, a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord, will make known to you;
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 to you for this very purpose, that he may know your affairs, 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 from you. They will make known to 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 fellow-prisoner, salutes you; and Mark, the nephew of Barnabas, concerning whom you go orders: if he come to 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, who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These, alone, are laborers with me for the kingdom of God, who has been a consolation to 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 came from you, a servant of Christ, salutes you; at all times fervently striving for you by prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in the whole 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 witness, that he has much affection for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis.
14 Monganga Luka, molingami na biso, mpe Demasi batindeli bino mbote.
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, salute 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 in Laodicea; and Nymphas, and the congregation 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 has been read to you, cause that it be read also in the congregation of the Laodiceans; and that you also read the one 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 you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill 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 of Paul, with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Favor be with you.
