Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Angraengnawk, nangcae doeh van ah Angraeng na tawnh o, tiah panoek oh loe, na tamnanawk nuiah kangvan ah toenghaih hoiah toksah oh.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Lawkthui o toepsoep ah loe, kawnhaih lawkthuihaih hoiah zing oh;
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,
kai loe kathuk Kri ih lok to ka taphong pongah, sumqui hoi pathlet ah ka oh, Sithaw mah lokthuihaih loklam ang paongh pae hanah, kaicae han doeh lawk na thui pae oh:
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
to tiah ni ka taphong han koi lok to kamtueng ah ka thui thai tih.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Tasa bang ih kaminawk khaeah palunghahaih hoiah khosah oh loe, atue to paawt oh.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Kami boih han lok na pathim pae o thai hanah, na paeh o ih lok loe paloi baktih kakhrum, tahmenhaih hoiah kakoi lok to apae o poe nasoe.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.

8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

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.

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”),
Thongim nawnto ka krakhaih ampui, Aristarka mah ban ang sin o, Barnaba tanuh ih capa Marka mah doeh ban ang sin o; (anih taham ah lokpaekhaih to na hnuk o boeh; anih nangcae khaeah angzo nahaeloe, khenzawn oh; )
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.
Jasta, tiah kawk ih Jesu loe, tangzat hin aat kami ah oh. Sithaw prae taham ah kai hoi nawnto toksah kami loe nihcae khue ni, nihcae loe kai poek mongsak kami ah oh o.
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.

14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
Palung ih tasi sah kop kami, Luka hoi Dema mah ban ang sin o.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
Laodicia hoi Nympha ah kaom nawkamyanawk, anih im ah kaom kricaabunawk to ban sin oh.
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.
Hae capat na kroek o pacoengah, Laodicia kricaabunawk doeh kroek o sak toeng ah; to Laodicia vangpui hoiah na hnuk o ih ca to nangcae mah doeh kroek oh.
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”

18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
