Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Yaa gooftota, isinis akka samii irraa Gooftaa qabdan waan beektaniif, garboota keessan qajeelummaa fi wal qixxummaadhaan bulchaa.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Warra dammaqanii galateeffatan taʼuudhaan kadhannaatti jabaadhaa.
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,
Nu icciitii Kiristoos kan ani isaaf jedhee hidhamee jiru sana akka lallabnuuf Waaqni balbala dubbichaa akka nuu banu nuufis kadhadhaa.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Anis akka narraa eegamutti ibsee akkan lallabuuf naa kadhadhaa.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Baricha furuudhaan warra alaa wajjin hubannaadhaan jiraadhaa.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif akkamitti akka deebii kennitan akka beektaniif dubbiin keessan yeroo hunda ayyaanaan kan guutame, soogiddaanis kan miʼeeffame haa taʼu.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
Xikiqoos oduu waaʼee kootii hunda isinitti ni hima. Inni obboleessa jaallatamaa, tajaajilaa amanamaa fi Gooftaatti garbicha hidhata koo taʼee dha.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
Anis akka isin haala nu keessa jirru beektanii fi akka inni garaa keessan jajjabeessuuf gara keessanitti isa ergeera.
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.
Innis obboleessa keenya amanamaa fi jaallatamaa isa garee keessan keessaa tokko taʼe Oneesimoos wajjin dhufa. Isaanis waan asitti taʼaa jiru hundumaa isinitti himu.
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”),
Arisxirokoos inni na wajjin hidhamee jiru nagaa isinii dhaama; Maarqos durbiin Barnaabaasis akkanuma nagaa isinii dhaama. Waaʼee isaas ajajni, “Yoo inni gara keessan dhufe isa simadhaa” jedhu isin gaʼeera.
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.
Yesuus inni Yoosxoos jedhamus akkasuma nagaa isinii dhaama. Warra dhagna qabatan keessaas kanneen na wajjin mootummaa Waaqaatiif hojjetan isaanuma qofa; isaanis jajjabina guddaa naa taʼaniiru.
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.
Ephaafiraan inni isin keessaa tokko taʼee fi tajaajilaan Kiristoos Yesuus nagaa isinii dhaama. Innis akka isin fedhii Waaqaa hundaan bilchaatoo fi guutuu taatanii jabaattanii dhaabattaniif yeroo hunda kadhannaadhaan isinii dadhabaa jira.
13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Ani akka inni isiniif, warra Lodooqiyaa fi magaalaa Heraapoolis jiraniifis hinaaffaa gaarii qabu dhugaa nan baʼaaf.
14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
Luqaas ogeessi fayyaa michuun keenya jaallatamaanii fi Deemaas nagaa isinii dhaamu.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
Obboloota Lodooqiyaa jiranitti, akkasumas Niimfaa fi waldaa kiristaanaa kan mana ishee jirtutti nagaa naa himaa.
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.
Erga xalayaan kun isinii dubbifamee booddee waldaa Kiristaanaa Lodooqiyaatti akka dubbifamu godhaa; isinis xalayaa Lodooqiyaadhaa dhufu dubbifadhaa.
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
Arkiphaadhaanis, “Hojii Gooftaadhaan sitti kenname sana akka xumurtu mirkaneeffadhu” jedhaa.
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
Ani Phaawulos, xalayaa nagaa kana harkuma kootiin barreessa. Hidhamuu koo yaadadhaa. Ayyaanni isin wajjin haa taʼu.
