1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Vatenzi, ipai varanda venyu zvinhu zvakanaka uye zvakaenzana, nokuti munozviziva kuti nemiwo muna vaTenzi kudenga.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Muzvipire pakunyengetera, makanyatsorinda uye muchivonga.
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,
Uye mutinyengetererewo kuti Mwari azarure mukova weshoko redu, kuitira kuti tigoparidza chakavanzika chaKristu, icho chandakasungirwa.
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
Nyengeterai kuti ndigone kuparidza zvakajeka, sezvandinofanira.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Muve vakachenjera pamafambiro enyu kuna vari kunze; mungwarire nguva yenyu.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Kutaura kwenyu ngakugare kwakazara nenyasha nguva dzose, kwakarungwa nomunyu, kuitira kuti muzive mapinduriro amunoita vanhu vose.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.

Musungwa pamwe chete neni Aristakusi anokukwazisai, naMako, hama yaBhanabhasi anokukwazisaiwo. (Makarayirwa zvokuita naye; kana asvika kwamuri, mumugamuchire.)
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.

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.

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.
Mushure mokuverengwa kwetsamba kwamuri, muone kuti yaverengwawo mukereke yeRaodhikea uye kuti nemiwo muverenge tsamba inobva kuRaodhikea.
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
Muudze Akipasi kuti, “Ona kuti wapedza basa rawakagamuchira muna She.”
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
