Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Ni ŵanyamwe achakulu mpanganye yaili yambone kwa achikapolo ŵenu mpela yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu, nchimanyililaga kuti nomwe ŵakwe nkwete Ambuje kwinani.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Mwapopelele Akunnungu pangapela ni pankupopela mmeje meeso ni kwatogolela Akunnungu.
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,
Iyoyo ntupopelele nowe, kuti Akunnungu atupe lipesa lya kulalichila ntemela nkati Kilisito. Kwa ligongo lya utenga wo, une ndili mu chitaŵiko.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Nipele mumbopelele kuti ngombole kuŵecheta yaikuti kuŵajilwa kwa litala lyalikukombola kuchiŵika chantemela cho pangasisika.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Njendeje kwa lunda pankutama ni ŵandu ŵangakunkulupilila Kilisito, nchitumiyaga yambone lipesa linkwete.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Moŵa gose aila yose inkusala yakamuchisye ŵandu, ni nkusachilwa kunjanga chambone mundu jwalijose.
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,
Kwa ligongo lyo nguntuma kukwenu kuti ajitusye mitima jenu kwakunsalila ngani syetu.
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.
Akwika pamo ni che Onesimo nlongo njetu jwakunonyelwa ni jwakukulupilichika, jwelejo ali mundu jwa kukwenu. Ŵanyawo ni uchansalile yose yaikutendekwa apano.
