Colossians 4

1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

Akulu, pumyi ku atugwa i makani ni taiane nu ulingi. Mulingile kina mukete ga nu Mukulu kilunde.

2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,

Longoleki kutula akomo mu malompi. Ikii miho mu nilanso ku ilumbiilyo.

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,

Lompi palung'wi ku nsoko itu ga, iti kina Itunda alugule i mimpita kunsoko a lukani, kitunta i kinkunku nika tai ang'wa Kristo. Kunsoko a ili natungilwe minyororo.

4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.

Hangi lompi kina nihume kuliika kihenga anga ni isingigwe kuligitigwa.

5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

Longola ku upolo ku awo ni akoli kunzi, hangi muligunie itungo.

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

iMakani anyu atule nu ukende matungo ihi, nu kulungila u munyu matungo ohi, iti kina muhume kulinga iti ni imutakile kumusukiilya kila u muntu.

7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.

Ku makani na antuile unene, uTikiko ukituma akumuke kitalanyu. uNg'wenso ingi muluna mulowa, munyamilimo nu muhuiili, hangi mutugwa mi itu ku Mukulu.

8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

Kumulagiilya kitalanyu kunsoko a ili, kina muhume kulinga i makani kutula u sese ga ni kina ahume kumukinyila.

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.

Kumulagiilya palung'wi nu Onesmo, muluna itu mulowa nu muhuiili, hangi ung'wi anyu. Akumutambuila kila i kintu nai kipumie apa.

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”),

Aristarko, mutungwa miane, ukumulamusha, ga nu Marko muyala nuang'wa Barnaba nai musingiiye u ulingasi kupuma kitalakwe, “Anga waza kitalanyu, musingiilyi”

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.

Nu Yesu ga nuitangwaa Yusto. Awa ing'wene du ni anya kidamu ingi ituma milimo iane ku nsoko a utemi nuang'wa Itunda. Atuile ipoeelya kitalane.

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.

Epafra ukumulamusha, uNg'wenso ingi ung'wi anyu hangi mutugwa wang'wa Kristo Yesu. uNg'wenso witumila ngulu mu malompi kunsoko iti kina muhume kimika ku ukomo nu kigeeleka ikaminkanu mu ulowa wihi nuang'wa Itunda.

13 For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.

Kunsoko kumukuiila, kina witumaa milimo ku ngulu kunsoko anyu, ku awo niakoli ku Laodekia, nu ku awo niakoli ku Hierapoli.

14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.

uLuka uyo u mukiliki mulowa, nu Dema akumulamusha.

15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.

Alamushe i aluna ane niakoli ku Laodekia, nuku Mimfa, ni itekeelo ilo ni likoli mi ito kitalakwe.

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.

Ibada ili ni likatula likusong'wa mukati anyu, lisong'we ga nu kitekeelo nila a Laodekia, nu nyenye ga mu komaniilye mukulisoma ibada kupuma ku Laodekia.

17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”

Ligitya kung'wa Arkipo, “Goza uwu u uaiilya naiza u usingiiye mu Mukulu, kina utakiwe ku utimilya.”

18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.

uMulamo uwu ingi ku mukono nuane mukola - Paulo. Kimbukiilyi i minyororo ane. Ukende nu utule nu yenye.
