Bakolosa 4
1 Lona beng ba batlhanka lo tshwanetse gosiama ka tekatekanyo mo batlhankeng ba lona botlhe. Gakologelwang ka malatsi otlhe gore le lona lo na le Mongwa lona kwa legodimong yo o lo etseng tlhoko thata.
Masters, award unto the servants that which is right and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
2 Se lapisegeng mo thapelong; nnang mo go yone; lebelelang dikarabo tsa Modimo lo bo lo gakologelwe go leboga fa di tla.
Be constant in prayer, watching in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Se lebaleng go re rapelela le rona, gore Modimo o re neye nako e ntsi go rera Mafoko a a Molemo a ga Keresete a ke leng fano mo kgolegelong ka ntlha ya one.
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 Rapelang gore ke tle ke nne pelokgale go a bolela ke lokologile le ka botlalo, le go a dira gore a tlhaloganngwe, jaaka tota, ke tshwanetse.
in order that I may manifest the same, as it behooves me to speak.
5 Dirisang dinako tsa lona tse dintsi lo bolelela ba bangwe Mafoko a a Molemo. Nnang botlhale mo go kopaneng ga lona le bone mo dilong tsotlhe.
Walk about in wisdom toward the aliens, buying in the opportunity.
6 A dikgang tsa lona di nne tse di nametsang le tse di utlwalang, gonne ka go dira jalo lo tlaa nna le karabo e e tshwanelang mongwe le mongwe.
Let your word be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how it behooves you to answer each one.
7 Tukiko, mokaulengwe wa rona yo o rategang thata, o tlaa lo bolelela ka fa ke tswelelang ka teng. Ke modiri yo o senatla ebile o direla Morena le nna.
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 Ke mo romile mo loetong lo lwa botlhokwa go bona gore lo tsoga jang, go lo gomotsa le go lo kgothatsa.
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 Ke roma le Onesima, mokaulengwe yo o ikanyegang yo ebileng a ratega thata, mongwe wa ba ga lona. Ene le Tukiko ba tlaa lo naya dikgang tsotlhe tse di ncha.
along with our faithful and beloved brother, Onesimus, who is from you; they will truly make known all things to you.
10 Arisetareko, yo ke nang nae kwano jaaka legolegwa, o a lo dumedisa, le Mareko wa losika lwa ga Barenabase le ene o a lo dumedisa. Mme fela jaaka ke buile pele, amogelang Mareko ka kamogelo e e tletseng boitumelo fa a tla kwa go lona.
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 Le Jesu yo o bidiwang Juseto o a lo dumedisa. Ke bone fela Bakeresete ba Sejuta ba ba dirang le nna kwano, mme ba ntse ba le kgomotso thata jang mo go nna!
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 Epaferase, yo o tswang mo motseng wa lona, motlhanka wa ga Keresete Jesu, o a lo dumedisa. O lo rapelela ka tlhwaafalo malatsi otlhe, a kopa Modimo go lo nonotsha le go lo dira boitekanelo le go lo thusa go itse go rata ga One mo go sengwe le sengwe se lo se dirang.
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 Ke ka lo tlhomamisetsa gore, lona le Bakeresete ba Laodikea le Hirapolise, o lo diretse ka bonatla jotlhe mo dithapelong tsa gagwe.
For I testify to him, that he always has much solicitude for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those who are in Hierapolis.
14 Ngaka Luke yo o rategang le Demase ba a lo dumedisa.
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you.
15 Tswee-tswee ntumedisetsang ditsala tsa Bakeresete kwa Laodikia. Lo ntumedisetse le Nimefase, le ba ba phuthegelang mo lwapeng lwa gagwe.
Salute the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in their house.
16 Mme fa lo sena go bala lokwalo lo, lo lo fetisetse kwa phuthegong e e kwa Laokikia. Lo bo lo bale le lokwalo lo ke lo ba kwaletseng.
And when the letter may be read by you, cause that it may also be read in the church of the Laodiceans; and that you may also read the letter from Laodicea.
17 Lo bo lo reye Arekipo lo re, “A tlhomamise gore a dire tsotlhe tse Morena o di mo laoletseng go di dira.”
And say to Archippus; Take heed to the ministry which you received in the Lord, that you may fill it.
18 Tumediso ya me e ke e kwadileng ka seatla same ke e: Nkgakologelwang kwano mo kgolegelong. A masego a Modimo a lo agelele. Ke nna wa lona ruri, Paulo.
Salutation of me Paul with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
