Colossians 4
1 Masters, deal out to your bond-servants justice and equity, knowing that ye also have a master in heaven.
Malangga-malangga re! Hei musi mete-seꞌu ana dedꞌenu mara no matetuꞌ ma ndoo-meuꞌ. Misinedꞌa, te hei o miꞌena Lamatuaꞌ sia nusa tetuꞌ mana mete-seꞌu nggi.
2 Persevere in prayer, being watchful therein with thanksgiving;
Hei musi manggate hule-oꞌe mikindooꞌ a. Ma medꞌa sia rala mara soꞌal dala-dalaꞌ fo hei olaꞌ mo Lamatualain, ma hule-oꞌe mo rala nemehoꞌot.
3 praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for the sake of which I am also in bonds;
Afiꞌ liliiꞌ hule-oꞌe fee hai, moꞌe fo Lamatualain soi dalaꞌ, fo hai mifadꞌe atahori dala-dalaꞌ fo maꞌahulun mana maꞌafuniꞌ soꞌal Yesus. Misinedꞌa, au sia bꞌui ia, huu au ufadꞌe atahori soꞌal Kristus.
4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Hule-oꞌe fo au dui-bꞌengga Hara-lii Maloleꞌ naa no matetuꞌ, fo atahori rahine no maloleꞌ.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, buying up opportunities.
Misodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ sia atahori nda mana feꞌe ramahere Kristus taladꞌan nara sa. Pake malolole kakaꞌeꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ fee neu nggi.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every one.
Mete ma hei olaꞌ, na olaꞌ no malolole fo ndaa no atahori rala nara. Afiꞌ olaꞌ tao fee atahori mbera rena nggi. Olaꞌ mendiꞌ dedꞌea-oꞌola matetuꞌ, fo hei bisa mitaa no maloleꞌ, mete ma hambu atahori ratane nggi.
7 Of all my affairs Tychicus will inform you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord;
Dei fo Tikikus nema dui nggi au tetende-nemberii ngga. Eni, hai toronoo susuem, mana maꞌatataaꞌ mete-seꞌu Lamatuaꞌ atahori mana tungga nara. Dalahulun, ana o dui-bꞌengga Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon no au.
8 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that he may know your condition, and comfort your hearts;
Au denu e taꞌo naa, fo neti tao manggatee rala mara, ma dui hai masodꞌa mara sia ia neu nggi.
9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will inform you of every thing here.
Au o denu baliꞌ Onesimus, fo tungga no e. Onesimus naa, hai toronoo susuem mana maꞌatataaꞌ. Eni, hei atahorim. Dei fo ruꞌa se, dui basa dꞌala mana dadꞌi sia ia ra.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom ye received directions (if he come to you, receive him),
Aristarkus fee nggi hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ. Ara tao e sia bꞌui rala, no au boe. Barnabas odꞌin Markus o fee hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ boe. Markus naa, no Barnabas odꞌi-aꞌa tudꞌa ndunaꞌ. Dalahulun au helu memaꞌ nggi ae, mete ma Markus nema seꞌu nggi, na, simbo e no malololeꞌ.
11 and Jesus, who is called Justus; who are of the circumcision; these only are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been an encouragement unto me.
Yesus, (fo hita toꞌe, na tae, “Yustus”) fee nggi hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ boe. Mia basa nonoo ngga mana dui-bꞌengga Lamatualain ue-tataon, akaꞌ sira teluꞌ se fo atahori Yahudi mana dadꞌi atahori Kristen. Ma sira ia, mana tao manggatee rala ngga.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.
Hei nonoom Eprafas, sia ia, ana o fee nggi hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ boe. Ana dadꞌi Yesus Kristus atahori dedꞌenun. Ana manggate hule-oꞌe fee nggi, ma noꞌe Lamatualain tao manggatee nggi, tao naꞌadꞌadꞌaiꞌ nggi, ma tao nggi mihine tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Hihii-nanaun.
13 For I bear him witness, that he hath much labor for you, and those that are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
Au ufadꞌe memaꞌ nggi, Eprafas naa, tao ues nitaꞌ mamaten fee nggi, ma fee atahori Saraniꞌ ra sia kota Laodikia ma kota Herapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, salute you.
Hambu hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia Demas, no doter Lukas, fo hai sueꞌ ra.
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church in his house.
Au haitua hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ fee atahori mamahereꞌ ra sia kota Laodikia. Afiꞌ liliiꞌ fee hara sodꞌa-mole ngga neu Mama Nimfa no atahori mamahereꞌ mana biasa raꞌabꞌue sia umen.
16 And when the letter hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that ye likewise read the letter from Laodicea.
Dei fo mete ma basa hei mana sia Kolose baca mala susura ia ena, na, haitua nakandoo nisiꞌ atahori mamahereꞌ sia Laodikia fo ara bisa baca boe. Ma hei o musi baca susura fo au haitua ita fee seꞌ a.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.
Fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Arkipus mae, “Afiꞌ liliiꞌ mulalao mubꞌasaꞌ, ue-tataos fo simbo mia Lamatuaꞌ a.”
18 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
Afiꞌ liliiꞌ mae, ara feꞌe tao au sia bui ia rala. Au oꞌe fo Lamatualain natudꞌu Rala malolen neu nggi. Mete neꞌu ena, susura ia, au teken endiꞌ lima heheli ngga, Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Paulus
