Colossians 4
1 Masters, give to bondmen what is just and fair, knowing that ye also have a Master in [the] heavens.
Nobasimalelo, amupe balanda benu chakululama achakweleka. Mbumwizi kuti anywebo mulijisi simalelo uli kujulu.
2 Persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Amujatisye kukomba, musungwalile nkuko akulumba.
3 praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door of the word to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I am bound,
Nkabela amutukombele aswebo, kuti Leza atujulile myeenya yajwi, kwamba makani masisike a Kkilisito. Nkambo kacheechi, ndilangidwe anketani.
4 to the end that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
Amukombe kuti nkakonzye kulungulula, mbunjelede kuyowamba.
5 Walk in wisdom towards those without, redeeming opportunities.
Amweende chabusongo kulibaabo balaanze, amununune chiindi.
6 [Let] your word [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, [so as] to know how ye ought to answer each one.
Kwamba kwenu akube kwaluzyalo lyoonse, kulweezegwe amwinyo wakulumba, kuti mube abusongo bwakuvwiila kabotu kubantu boonse.
7 Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-bondman in [the] Lord, will make known to you all that concerns me;
Lino kumakani alatala andime, Tukiko mukwesu ulachita kuti mwazibe. Mukwesu uyandika, simulimoma musyomesi, muzikema mu Mwami.
8 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he might know your state, and that he might encourage your hearts:
Ndamutuma kulindinywe nkambo kacheechi, kuti amuzibye makani andiswe, akusungilizya myoyo yenu.
9 with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known to you everything here.
Ndilamutuma antomwe a Onesimasi, ulisyomekede alimwi mukwesu uyandika, kali umwi wenu. Bayomuzibisya zyoonse zyakachitika okuno.
10 Aristarchus my fellow-captive salutes you, and Mark, Barnabas's cousin, concerning whom ye have received orders, (if he come to you, receive him, )
Alisitachasi, mwangema, ulokumujuzya, antomwe a Maakki, mwenzinyina wa Bbanabbasi (mulitambwide kale mulazyo wakuti, asika kulindinywe, mumutambule),
11 and Jesus called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These [are the] only fellow-workers for the kingdom of God who have been a consolation to me.
antomwe a Jesu uyiitwa kuti ngu Jusitasi, Abo boonse babupalule mbasimilimoma mumulimo wabwami bwa Leza. Mbibakali lumbulizyo lwamoyo wangu.
12 Epaphras, who is [one] of you, [the] bondman of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always combating earnestly for you in prayers, to the end that ye may stand perfect and complete in all [the] will of God.
Epafulatasi ulokumujuzya loko. Nguumwi wenu alubo muzike wa Kkilsito Jesu. Ukkala kamwitilila munkombyo, kuchitila kuti mukiime chakuzulila akuba bwiini kulizyoonse muluyando lwa Leza.
13 For I bear him witness that he labours much for you, and them in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Ndipa bukamboni kuti umubelekela chamanguzu, kuli aabo balimu Layodisiya, antomwe akulibaabo balimu Hilapolisi.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, salutes you, and Demas.
Lukka musilisi uyandika antomwe a Demasi balokumujuzya loko.
15 Salute the brethren in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly which [is] in his house.
Mujuzye bakwesu balimu Layodisiya, aku Nimfu, embungano ilimu ng'anda yakwe.
16 And when the letter has been read among you, cause that it be read also in the assembly of Laodiceans, and that ye also read that from Laodicea.
Olu lugwalo lwamana kubalwa kulindinywe, amuchite kuti lubalwe akulako kumbungano yabaku Layodikiya.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in [the] Lord, to the end that thou fulfil it.
Amwambile Akkipa kuti, “Langa kabotu kumilimo njiwakatambula ku Mwami, kuti uyelede kuzuzikizya.”
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you.
Olu lujuzyo ndalulemba amaboko aangu - ndime Pawulu. Kamuyeeya inketani zyangu. Luzyalo alube anywebo.
