Qolosaayis 4
1 Yaa gooftota, isinis akka samii irraa Gooftaa qabdan waan beektaniif, garboota keessan qajeelummaa fi wal qixxummaadhaan bulchaa.
Masters, award unto the servants that which is right and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
2 Warra dammaqanii galateeffatan taʼuudhaan kadhannaatti jabaadhaa.
Be constant in prayer, watching in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Nu icciitii Kiristoos kan ani isaaf jedhee hidhamee jiru sana akka lallabnuuf Waaqni balbala dubbichaa akka nuu banu nuufis kadhadhaa.
at the same time also praying for us, in order that God may open to us the door of the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which I indeed am bound;
4 Anis akka narraa eegamutti ibsee akkan lallabuuf naa kadhadhaa.
in order that I may manifest the same, as it behooves me to speak.
5 Baricha furuudhaan warra alaa wajjin hubannaadhaan jiraadhaa.

6 Tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif akkamitti akka deebii kennitan akka beektaniif dubbiin keessan yeroo hunda ayyaanaan kan guutame, soogiddaanis kan miʼeeffame haa taʼu.
Let your word be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how it behooves you to answer each one.
7 Xikiqoos oduu waaʼee kootii hunda isinitti ni hima. Inni obboleessa jaallatamaa, tajaajilaa amanamaa fi Gooftaatti garbicha hidhata koo taʼee dha.
Tychicus, my beloved brother, and faithful minister and fellow-laborer in the Lord, will make known to you all things which appertain to me:
8 Anis akka isin haala nu keessa jirru beektanii fi akka inni garaa keessan jajjabeessuuf gara keessanitti isa ergeera.
whom I sent unto you for this same thing, in order that you may know the things concerning us, and he may comfort your hearts;
9 Innis obboleessa keenya amanamaa fi jaallatamaa isa garee keessan keessaa tokko taʼe Oneesimoos wajjin dhufa. Isaanis waan asitti taʼaa jiru hundumaa isinitti himu.
along with our faithful and beloved brother, Onesimus, who is from you; they will truly make known all things to you.
10 Arisxirokoos inni na wajjin hidhamee jiru nagaa isinii dhaama; Maarqos durbiin Barnaabaasis akkanuma nagaa isinii dhaama. Waaʼee isaas ajajni, “Yoo inni gara keessan dhufe isa simadhaa” jedhu isin gaʼeera.
Aristarchus my fellow-soldier salutes you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas concerning whom you received commandments; if he may come to you, receive him;
11 Yesuus inni Yoosxoos jedhamus akkasuma nagaa isinii dhaama. Warra dhagna qabatan keessaas kanneen na wajjin mootummaa Waaqaatiif hojjetan isaanuma qofa; isaanis jajjabina guddaa naa taʼaniiru.
and Jesus, called Justus, who being of the circumcision: these are my only fellow-laborers in the kingdom of God, who have been made a comfort to me.
12 Ephaafiraan inni isin keessaa tokko taʼee fi tajaajilaan Kiristoos Yesuus nagaa isinii dhaama. Innis akka isin fedhii Waaqaa hundaan bilchaatoo fi guutuu taatanii jabaattanii dhaabattaniif yeroo hunda kadhannaadhaan isinii dadhabaa jira.
Epaphras, who is from you, the servant of Jesus Christ, always agonizing in your behalf in his prayers, in order that you may stand perfect even having been fully carried away in all the will of God, salutes you.
13 Ani akka inni isiniif, warra Lodooqiyaa fi magaalaa Heraapoolis jiraniifis hinaaffaa gaarii qabu dhugaa nan baʼaaf.

17 Arkiphaadhaanis, “Hojii Gooftaadhaan sitti kenname sana akka xumurtu mirkaneeffadhu” jedhaa.
And say to Archippus; Take heed to the ministry which you received in the Lord, that you may fill it.
18 Ani Phaawulos, xalayaa nagaa kana harkuma kootiin barreessa. Hidhamuu koo yaadadhaa. Ayyaanni isin wajjin haa taʼu.
Salutation of me Paul with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
