Colossians 4

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

Ẹyin ọ̀gá, ẹ máa fi èyí tí ó tọ́ tí ó sì dọ́gba fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ yín; kí ẹ sì mọ̀ pé ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ní Olúwa kan ní ọ̀run.

2 Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;

Ẹ fi ara yín jì fún àdúrà gbígbà, kí ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ sì máa dúpẹ́;

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;

ẹ máa gbàdúrà fún wa pẹ̀lú, kí Ọlọ́run lè ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn fún wa fún ọ̀rọ̀ náà, láti máa sọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ Kristi, nítorí èyí tí mo ṣe wà nínú ìdè pẹ̀lú.

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

Ẹ gbàdúrà pé kí èmi le è máa kéde rẹ̀ kedere gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti tọ́ fún mi.

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

Ẹ jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n ní ti bí ẹ ti ń ṣe pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ń bẹ lóde, kí ẹ sì máa ṣe ṣí àǹfààní tí ẹ bá nílò.

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

Ẹ jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ yín kí ó dàpọ̀ mọ́ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ nígbà gbogbo, èyí tí a fi iyọ̀ dùn, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó le mọ́ bí ẹ̀yin ó tí máa dá olúkúlùkù ènìyàn lóhùn.

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

Gbogbo bí nǹkan ti rí fún mi ní Tikiku yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ mọ̀. Òun jẹ́ arákùnrin olùfẹ́ àti olóòtítọ́ ìránṣẹ́ àti ẹlẹgbẹ́ nínú Olúwa,

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

ẹni tí èmí ń rán sí yín nítorí èyí kan náà, kí ẹ̀yin lè mọ́ bí a ti wà, kí òun kí ó lè tu ọkàn yín nínú.

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.

Òun sì ń bọ̀ pẹ̀lú Onesimu, arákùnrin olóòtítọ́ àti olùfẹ́, ẹni tí í ṣe ọ̀kan nínú yín. Àwọn ní yóò sọ ohun gbogbo tí à ń ṣe níhìn-ín yìí fún un yín.

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),

Aristarku, ẹlẹgbẹ́ mí nínú túbú kí i yín, àti Marku, ọmọ arábìnrin Barnaba. (Nípasẹ̀ ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ti gba àṣẹ; bí ó bá sì wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ yín, ẹ gbà á.)

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.

Àti Jesu, ẹni tí à ń pè ní Justu, ẹni tí ń ṣe ti àwọn onílà. Àwọn wọ̀nyí nìkan ni olùbáṣiṣẹ́ mí fún ìjọba Ọlọ́run, àwọn ẹni tí ó tí jásí ìtùnú fún mi.

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.

Epafira, ẹni tí ń ṣe ọ̀kan nínú yín àti ìránṣẹ́ Kristi Jesu kí i yín. Òun fi ìwàyáàjà gbàdúrà nígbà gbogbo fún un yín, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè dúró ní pípé nínú ohun gbogbo nínú ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run.

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

Nítorí mo jẹ́rìí rẹ̀ pé ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ kárakára fún yín, àti fún àwọn tí ó wà ní Laodikea, àti àwọn tí ó wà ní Hirapoli.

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

Luku, arákùnrin wa ọ̀wọ́n, oníṣègùn, àti Dema ki í yín.

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

Ẹ kí àwọn ará tí ó wà ní Laodikea, àti Nimpa, àti ìjọ tí ó wà ní ilé rẹ̀.

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.

Nígbà tí a bá sì ka ìwé yìí ní àárín yín tan, kí ẹ mú kí a kà á pẹ̀lú nínú ìjọ Laodikea; ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú sì ka èyí tí ó ti Laodikea wá.

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

Kí ẹ sì wí fún Arkippu pe, “Kíyèsi iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ tí ìwọ ti gbà nínú Olúwa kí o sì ṣe é ní kíkún.”

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

Ìkíni láti ọwọ́ èmi Paulu. Ẹ máa rántí ìdè mi. Kí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ kí ó wà pẹ̀lú yín.
