Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Unu ndị nwe odibo, jirinụ ịkwụba aka ọtọ na ikpe ziri ezi na-emeso ndị ohu unu omume, ebe unu maara na unu onwe unu nwere onyenwe unu nʼeluigwe.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Na-anọgidenụ nʼekpere, nọọkwanụ na nche na-enyekwanụ ekele.
3 praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds,
Na-echetakwanụ anyị nʼekpere, ka Chineke meghere anyị ụzọ ikwusa oziọma, ka anyị nwee ike kwusaa ihe omimi Kraịst, nke m ji maka ya nọrọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ,
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
ka m nwee ike kwuo ya ka o doo anya otu m kwesiri.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Unu were amamihe na-achịkọta onwe unu nʼebe ndị nọ nʼezi nọ, jizienụ ohere ọbụla unu nwere nke ọma.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Ka okwu unu na-ekwu bụrụ nke jupụtara nʼamara na-atọ ụtọ, ka unu mụtakwa otu e si enye mmadụ ọsịsa dị mma.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
Taịkikọs, ezi nwanna anyị, onye kwesikwara ntụkwasị obi, onye anyị na ya na-ejekọ ozi nʼọrụ Onyenwe anyị, ga-akọrọ unu ihe niile banyere m.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
Ana m ezitere unu ya, ka unu mara ihe banyere ọnọdụ anyị nakwa ka ọ gbaa obi unu ume.
9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything that is going on here.
Ezi nwanna anyị nwoke bụ Onisimọs, onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, onye bụkwa otu nʼime unu, so ya na-abịa. Ha ga-agwa unu ihe niile na-eme nʼebe a.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, “if he comes to you, receive him”),
Arịstakọs, onye mụ na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, na-ekele unu. Mak nwanne Banabas na-ekelekwa unu. (Onye unu natara ihe ntụziaka banyere ya, ọ bụrụ na ọ bịarute nʼebe unu nọ, unu nabata ya nke ọma.)
11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.
Jisọs, onye a na-akpọkwa Jọstus, na-ekelekwa unu. Ọ bụ naanị ndị a bụ ndị Juu mụ na ha na-arụkọ ọrụ alaeze Chineke nʼebe a. Ha na-eme nnọọ nke ọma, na-enye m obi ụtọ.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Epafras, odibo Kraịst Jisọs na onye bụkwa otu onye nʼime ọgbakọ unu na-ekele unu. Oge niile ka ọ na-ekpe ekpere nʼihi unu, na-arịọ ka unu guzosie ike bụrụ ndị tozuru etozu na ndị kwesiri ike nʼọchịchọ niile nke Chineke.
13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Ana m agbara ya akaebe na ọ rụsịrị ọrụ ike nʼihi unu na nʼihi ndị Laodisia na ndị Hierapolis.
14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
Ezi enyi anyị Luk, onye dibịa ukwu anyị na Dimas na-ekele unu.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
Keleerenụ m ụmụnna anyị bi na Laodisia na nwanna anyị Nimfas na chọọchị na-ezukọ nʼụlọ ya.
16 When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
Mgbe unu gụchara akwụkwọ a, hụnụ na a gụkwara ya na nzukọ dị na Laodisia. Gụọkwanụ nʼotu mgbe ahụ akwụkwọ nke si na Laodisia bịa.
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
Gwanụ Akipos ka ọ kpachapụ anya rụchaa ọrụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ya ịrụ.
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
Eji m aka m dee ekele nke a mụ onwe m bụ Pọl. Unu echefula na m nọ nʼagbụ. Ka amara dịnyere unu.
