Kolose 4

1 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.

Ye masters! that which is just and equitable, unto your servants, be rendering, knowing that, ye also, have a Master in heaven.

2 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.

Unto prayer, be devoting yourselves, watching therein with thanksgiving:

3 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.

Praying, at the same time, for us also, —that, God, would open unto us a door for the word, so that we may speak the sacred secret of the Christ—for the sake of which also I am in bonds,

4 Hule-oꞌe fo au dui-bꞌengga Hara-lii Maloleꞌ naa no matetuꞌ, fo atahori rahine no maloleꞌ.

That I may make it manifest as behoveth me to speak.

5 Misodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ sia atahori nda mana feꞌe ramahere Kristus taladꞌan nara sa. Pake malolole kakaꞌeꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ fee neu nggi.

In wisdom, be walking towards them who are without, —the opportunity, buying out for yourselves,

6 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.

Your discourse being always with benefit, with salt, seasoned, —that ye may know how it behoveth you, unto each one, to be making answer.

7 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.

All the things which relate unto myself, shall Tychicus make known unto you—the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord,

8 Au denu e taꞌo naa, fo neti tao manggatee rala mara, ma dui hai masodꞌa mara sia ia neu nggi.

Whom I have sent unto you, to this very end, —that ye may get to know the things which concern us, and he may encourage you hearts:

9 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.

Together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is from among you: —all things, unto you, will they make known, that [are taking place] here.

10 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.

Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, saluteth you; and Mark, the first cousin of Barnabas, —concerning whom ye have received commands—if he come unto you, give him welcome;

11 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.

And Jesus, he that is called Justus, —they being of the circumcision; these only, [are my] fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, men who have been, unto me, a comfort.

12 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.

Epaphras who is from among you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, —at all times, contending in your behalf in his prayers, that ye may be caused to stand complete and fully assured in everything willed by God;

13 Au ufadꞌe memaꞌ nggi, Eprafas naa, tao ues nitaꞌ mamaten fee nggi, ma fee atahori Saraniꞌ ra sia kota Laodikia ma kota Herapolis.

For I bear him witness, that he hath great toil in behalf of you, and them in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

14 Hambu hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia Demas, no doter Lukas, fo hai sueꞌ ra.

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

15 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.

Salute ye the brethren, in Laodicea, also Nymphas, and the assembly, which meeteth at her house.

16 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.

And, as soon as the epistle hath been read amongst you, cause that, in the assembly of Laodiceans also, it be read; and, that from Laodicea, that, ye also, read.

17 Fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Arkipus mae, “Afiꞌ liliiꞌ mulalao mubꞌasaꞌ, ue-tataos fo simbo mia Lamatuaꞌ a.”

And say to Archippus: be taking heed unto the ministry which thou hast accepted in the Lord, —that, the same, thou fulfil.

18 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

The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand: —keep in mind my bonds. Favour be with you!
