VaKorose 4
1 Vatenzi, ipai varanda venyu zvinhu zvakanaka uye zvakaenzana, nokuti munozviziva kuti nemiwo muna vaTenzi kudenga.
Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing that you also have a master in heaven.
2 Muzvipire pakunyengetera, makanyatsorinda uye muchivonga.
Be instant in prayer; watching in it with thanksgiving:
3 Uye mutinyengetererewo kuti Mwari azarure mukova weshoko redu, kuitira kuti tigoparidza chakavanzika chaKristu, icho chandakasungirwa.
Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound; )
4 Nyengeterai kuti ndigone kuparidza zvakajeka, sezvandinofanira.
That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
5 Muve vakachenjera pamafambiro enyu kuna vari kunze; mungwarire nguva yenyu.
Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Kutaura kwenyu ngakugare kwakazara nenyasha nguva dzose, kwakarungwa nomunyu, kuitira kuti muzive mapinduriro amunoita vanhu vose.
Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man.
7 Tikikasi achakuudzai mashoko ose pamusoro pangu. Iye ihama inodikanwa kwazvo, mushumiri akatendeka nomushandi pamwe chete neni muna She.
All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother, and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to you,
8 Ndiri kumutuma kwamuri nechinangwa ichi kuti muzive zvatiri uye kuti akurudzire mwoyo yenyu.
Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the things that concern you, and comfort your hearts,
9 Ari kuuya pamwe chete naOnesimasi, hama yedu yakatendeka uye inodikanwa, anova mumwe wenyu. Vachakuudzai zvose zviri kuitika kuno.
With Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is one of you. All things that are done here, they shall make known to you.
10 Musungwa pamwe chete neni Aristakusi anokukwazisai, naMako, hama yaBhanabhasi anokukwazisaiwo. (Makarayirwa zvokuita naye; kana asvika kwamuri, mumugamuchire.)
Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin german of Barnabus, touching whom you have received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him:
11 Jesu anonzi Jastasi, anokukwazisaiwo. Ava ndivo vaJudha bedzi pakati pavamwe vandinoshanda navo muumambo hwaMwari, uye vanondinyaradza.
And Jesus, that is called Justus: who are of the circumcision: these only are my helpers in the kingdom of God; who have been a comfort to me.
12 Epafurasi, mumwe wenyu nomuranda waKristu Jesu, anokukwazisai. Anogara achirwa muminyengetero nokuda kwenyu, kuti mumire makasimba mukuda kwose kwaMwari, makura uye muzere nokuziva.
Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect, and full in all the will of God.
13 Ndinomupupurira kuti anokushandirai nesimba pamwe chete naavo vari paRaodhikea, napaHirapori.
For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you, and for them that are at Laodicea, and them at Hierapolis.
14 Shamwari yedu inodikanwa Ruka, chiremba, naDhemasi vanokukwazisai.
Luke, the most dear physician, saluteth you: and Demas.
15 Ndikwazisirei hama dziri paRaodhikea, naNimufa nekereke iri mumba make.
Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.
16 Mushure mokuverengwa kwetsamba kwamuri, muone kuti yaverengwawo mukereke yeRaodhikea uye kuti nemiwo muverenge tsamba inobva kuRaodhikea.
And when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that which is of the Laodiceans.
17 Muudze Akipasi kuti, “Ona kuti wapedza basa rawakagamuchira muna She.”
And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.
18 Ini, Pauro ndanyora kwaziso iyi noruoko rwangu pachangu. Rangarirai ngetani dzangu. Nyasha ngadzive nemi.
The salutation of Paul with my own hand. Be mindful of my bands. Grace be with you. Amen.
