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;

that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Abo abatannakkiriza mutambulenga nabo n’amagezi, nga mukozesa bulungi ebiseera bye mulina.
Walk in wisdom toward them who are without, gaining time.

Let your speech be always with gracefulness, seasoned with salt, knowing how you ought to answer every one.

All things concerning me, Tychicus, a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord, will make known to you;
8 Kyenva mmutuma gye muli mulyoke mumanye ebitufaako, era abazzeemu n’amaanyi,
whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he may know your affairs, and comfort your hearts:
9 awamu ne Onesimo owooluganda omwagalwa era omwesigwa, omu ku b’ewammwe; balibategeeza byonna ebifa eno.
with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is from you. They will make known to you all things which are done here.

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 ne Yesu ayitibwa Yusito abalamusizza. Abo be Bayudaaya, bakozi bannange bokka mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda, abaanzizaamu amaanyi.
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 Epafula ow’ewammwe, omuddu wa Kristo Yesu, afuba bulijjo ku lwammwe okubasabira, mulyoke muyimirirenga nga munywedde mu kukkiriza era nga mutegeereranga ddala mu byonna Katonda by’ayagala, abalamusizza.

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.

And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry, which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.
