Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Madzishe, ipai varanda zvakarurama nezvakaringana, muchiziva kuti imwiwo muna Ishe kumatenga.
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,
Tsungirirai pamunyengetero, murinde pakuri nekuvonga;
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,
mutinyengetererewo panguva imweyo, kuti Mwari atizarurire mukova weshoko, kutaura chakavanzika chaKristu, chandakasungirwawo;
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
kuti ndichiratidze, sezvandinofanira kutaura.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Fambai muuchenjeri kune vari kunze, muchidzikunura nguva.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Shoko renyu ngarigare munyasha, rakarungwa nemunyu, kuti muzive kuti munofanira kupindura sei umwe neumwe.
7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.
Zvese zvakanangana neni Tikiko achakuzivisai, hama inodikanwa nemushumiri wakatendeka, nemushandi pamwe neni muna Ishe;
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
wandatumira kwamuri ichochi, kuti azive zviri maererano nemwi, nekunyaradza moyo yenyu;
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.
pamwe naOnesimo, hama yakatendeka inodikanwa, anova wekwenyu. Vachakuzivisai zvese zviri pano.
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”),
Arisitako musungwa pamwe neni anokukwazisai, naMariko muzukuru waBhanabhasi, wamakagamuchira mirairo maererano naye; kana achisvika 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.
naJesu anonzi Justo, vevekudzingiswa; ivava chete vabati pamwe neni paushe hwaMwari, vaiva nyaradzo kwandiri.
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.
Epafrasi wekwenyu, muranda waKristu, anokukwazisai, achirwa nguva dzese muminyengetero nekuda kwenyu, kuti mumire makazara uye makakwana muchido chese chaMwari.
13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Nokuti ndinomupupurira kuti ane shungu kwazvo nemwi, neveRaodhikia, neveHierapori.
14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
Anokukwazisai Ruka chiremba anodikanwa, naDhemasi.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
Kwazisai hama dziri Raodhikia, naNimifa, nekereke iri mumba make.
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.
Zvino kana tsamba iyi yaverengwa pakati penyu, itai kuti nemukereke yeVaRaodhikia iverengwe; kuti nemwi muverengewo inobva Raodhikia.
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
Vudzai Akipo, muti: Chenjerera ushumiri hwawakagamuchira muna Ishe, kuti uhupedzise.
18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.
Kwaziso neruoko rwangu rwaPauro. Rangarirai zvisungo zvangu. Nyasha ngadzive nemwi. Ameni.
