Colossians 4

1 Masters, render unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

‌ʻAe ngaahi ʻeiki, ʻatu ki hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku totonu mo tatau; he ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ai homou ʻEiki foki ʻi he langi.

2 Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;

Fai maʻu pe ʻae lotu, pea leʻo ʻi ai mo fakafetaʻi;

3 withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;

Pea lotua ʻakimautolu foki, koeʻuhi ke toʻo kiate kimautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae matapā ʻoe lea, ke lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻa Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo haʻisia ai au:

4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā atu ia, ʻo taau mo ia ʻoku totonu ke u lea ʻaki.

5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

Mou ʻaʻeva ʻi he angafakapotopoto kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā, ʻo huhuʻi ʻae kuonga.

6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.

Ke lelei maʻuaipē hoʻomou lea, ʻo fakalelei ʻaki ʻae māsima, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ke tali totonu ʻae tangata kotoa pē.

7 All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:

E fakahā atu ʻeku meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu ʻe Tikiko, ʻaia ko e tokoua ʻofeina, mo e faifekau angatonu mo e kaungā tamaioʻeiki ʻi he ʻEiki:

8 whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our estate, and that he may comfort your hearts;

‌ʻAia kuo u fekau atu kiate kimoutolu koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ko ia, pea koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo pe ʻoku mou fēfē, pea fakafiemālie ki homou loto;

9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things that [are done] here.

Pea mo Onesimosi, ko e tokoua angatonu mo ʻofeina, ʻaia ko homou tokotaha. Te na fakaʻilo kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi heni.

10 Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (touching whom ye received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him),

Ko ʻAlisitako, ho hoku kaunga nofo fale fakapōpula, ʻoku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu, mo Maʻake, ko e tama ʻae tuofefine ʻo Pānepasa, (ʻa ʻia naʻa mou maʻu ʻae fekau ʻoku kau kiate ia: kapau ʻoku ʻalu atu ia kiate kimoutolu, maʻu ia; )

11 and Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only [are my] fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, men that have been a comfort unto me.

Mo Sisu, ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Susito, ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku ʻoe kamu. Ko kinautolu ni pe ko hoku kaunga ngāue ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau fakafiemālie kiate au.

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.

Ko Epafasi, ko homou tokotaha, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻofa atu ia kiate kimoutolu: ʻoku fai feinga maʻuaipē ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lotu, koeʻuhi ke mou tuʻu haohaoa mo kakato ʻi he finangalo kotoa pē ʻoe ʻOtua.

13 For I bear him witness, that he hath much labour for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis.

He ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni ki ai, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae loto feinga lahi kiate kimoutolu, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻi Leotisia, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻi Heilapoli.

14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you.

Ko Luke, ko e faitoʻo ʻofeina, mo Timasi, ʻoku na ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu.

15 Salute the brethren that are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in their house.

Tala atu ʻeku ʻofa ki he kāinga ʻoku ʻi Leotisia, mo Nimifa, mo e siasi ʻi hono fale.

16 And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye also read the epistle from Laodicea.

Pea ʻoka lau ʻae tohi ni ʻiate kimoutolu, vakai ke lau ia foki ki he siasi ʻoe kakai Leotisia; pea ke mou lau foki ʻae tohi mei Leotisia.

17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.

Pea tala kia ʻAkipa, “Ke ke vakai ki he ngāue kuo ke maʻu mei he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ia.”

18 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.

Ko au Paula ʻoku ʻofa atu ʻaki hoku nima. Manatu ki hoku ngaahi haʻi. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.
