Bhakolosai 4
1 Bheso bhugenyi, nimusoshega ku bhagaya emisango jinu jili jo bhulengelesi ne ja Jintugwa je kisi. Mumenyele one ati munage Latabhugenyi mu lwile.
You masters, treat your servants in a way that is right and fair, recognizing that you too have a Master in heaven.
2 Nimugendelelega okukomela mu kusabhwa. Nimutengejenga mwijo mu sime.
Remember to keep on praying, with an alert and thankful mind!
3 Nimusabhwega muli amwi ingulu yeswe one, koleleki ati Nyamuanga egule omulyango ingulu yo musango, okwaika imbisike ye chimali eya Kristo. Kunsonga ya linu nibhoyelwe ne bhibhoyelo.
Pray for us too that God may open a door of opportunity to spread the message, to tell about the revealed mystery of Christ—which is the reason I'm here in prison.
4 Na nimusabhwega ati nitule okuguta abhwelu, lwa kutyo jinyiile okwaika.
Pray that I may make it as clear as I should when I speak.
5 Nimulibhatega mu bhwengeso ku bhaliya bhanu bhali emwila, muguchuse omwana.
Behave wisely with outsiders, making the best use of every opportunity.
6 Emisango jemwe na jibhe ne chigongo mu mwanya gwona, na galungwe omunyu katungu Kona, koleleki ati mutule okumenya lwa kutyo kubheile okumusubhya bhuli munu.
Always be gracious when you speak. Make sure it's in good taste, and think about how best to answer everyone.
7 Ku misango jinu ejilubhililana nanye, Tikiko kakola jimenyekane kwemwe. Omwene ni wasu omwendwa, omukosi omwiikanyibhwa, no mugaya wejasu mu Latabhugenyi.
Tychicus will tell you all about what's happening to me. He's a dear brother, a trustworthy minister and co-worker in the Lord.
8 Enimutuma kwemwe ingulu ya linu, ati mutule okumenya emisango jinu ejo kulubhililana neswe one ati mutule okubhatamo omwoyo.
I'm sending him to you for this very reason—so that you'll know how things are with me and this will cheer you up.
9 Enimutuma amwi na Onesimo, owasu omwendwa omwiikanyibhwa, no oumwi wemwe. Abhajo okubhabhwila bhuli chinu chinu chabhonekene anu.
Onesimus is going with him too, a trusted and dear brother, who's one of you. They'll explain to you everything that's going on here.
10 Aristarko, omubhoywa wejasu, kabhakesha, one na Marko omwana wa mama-wabho na Bharnabha unu mwalamiye obhwitondi okusoka kwaye, “Nolwo akaja kwemwe, mumulamile,”
Aristarchus who's with me here in prison sends his best wishes; likewise Mark, Barnabas' cousin (you've already had instructions to welcome him if he visits you),
11 Nawe Yesu one unu kabhilikilwa Yusto. Bhanu bhenyele ni bho olutendo ni bhakosi bhe bhilimu bhejasu ingulu yo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga. Bhwebhwe bhanu bho kusilisha anye.
and Jesus—also called Justus—who are the only Jewish Christians among those working with me here for the kingdom of God, men who have been a great help to me.
12 Epafra one kabhakesha. Omwene ni umwi wemwe na ni mugaya wa Kristo Yesu. Mwenene akomee mu okusabhwa koleleki ati mutule okwimelegulu kwo bhukumiye no kumenyegesha mu kukumila kwe lyenda lyona elya Nyamuanga.
Epaphras who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends his greetings. He's always passionate in his prayers on your behalf, praying that you'll stand firm as grown-up Christians, totally convinced about everything as God would want.
13 Kulwo kubha enimubhambalila, ati akomee okukola emilimu ingulu emwe, kubhanu bhali Laodekia, na kubhanu bhali Hierapoli.
For the record I can tell you that he's done a lot for you, and for those in Laodicea and Hierapolis as well.
14 Luka ulya omufumu omwendwa, na Dema abhabhakesha.
Luke, our dear doctor, and Demas also send their best.
15 Abhabhakesha abhasu bhanu bhali Laodekia, na Nimfa, na likanisa lilya linu Lili eyo ika ewae.
Greet the believers that are in Laodicea—Nympha too, and the church that meets in her house.
16 Inyalubha inu alibha yasomwa kwimwe, isomwe one mwi Kanisa lya bhalaodekia, nemwe one mukomeleshe ati omuisoma inyalubha ilya okusoka Laodekia.
And when this letter has been read to you, make sure it's read to the church in Laodicea too, and that you also read the letter sent to Laodicea.
17 Yaika kwa Arkipo, “Lola obhufulubhendi bhulya bhunu ulamiye mu Latabhugenyi, ati kukwiile okuikumisha.”
Tell Archippus, “See that you follow through in doing the ministry God gave you.”
18 Obhukesha bhunu ni bwo kubhoko kwani Anye omwene -Paulo. Nimujichuke jimboyelo jani. Echigongo chibhe amwi nemwe.
I Paul write my closing greetings with my own hand. Remember I'm in prison. Grace be with you.
