Colosas 4
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
4 Kamong mga agalon, ayoha ninyo pagdumala ang inyong mga ulipon. Hinumdomi ninyo nga may agalon usab kamo sa langit.
Ang mga Pahimangno
2 Pag-ampo kamo kanunay nga may pagpasalamat, ug samtang nagaampo kamo bantayi ninyo ang inyong panghunahuna. 3 Iampo usab ninyo kami nga hatagan kami sa Dios ug kahigayonan nga makasugilon sa pagtulon-an mahitungod kang Cristo nga gitago kaniadto. Mao kini ang hinungdan nga nabilanggo ako, kay gisugilon ko ang mahitungod kaniya. 4 Ug iampo usab nga mapadayag ko ang Maayong Balita sumala sa angay kong buhaton.
5 Pagmatngon kamo sa inyong mga paggawi taliwala sa mga dili tumutuo. Ug pahimusli ninyo ang tanang kahigayonan nga kamo makasugilon mahitungod sa inyong pagtuo. 6 Kon mosulti kamo kanila, gamita ninyo ang mga makadani nga mga pulong aron maminaw sila kaninyo, ug angay nga mahibalo kamo kon unsaon pagtubag sa pangutana ni bisan kinsa.
Ang mga Pangumusta
7 Bahin sa akong kahimtang dinhi, ang atong pinalanggang igsoon nga si Tiquico mao ang mosugilon kaninyo. Siya kasaligan nga katabang ug kauban diha sa pag-alagad sa Ginoo. 8 Gipadala ko siya diha aron ibalita niya kaninyo ang among kahimtang dinhi, aron dili kamo mabalaka kanamo. 9 Kauban usab niya ang atong pinalanggang igsoon nga si Onesimo. Kasaligan usab siya, ug inyo gayong katagilungsod. Sila ang mosugilon kaninyo sa tanan nga nahitabo kanamo.
10 Ang akong kauban dinhi sa bilanggoan nga si Aristarkus nangumusta kaninyo. Nangumusta usab kaninyo si Marcos nga ig-agaw ni Barnabas. (Gisultihan na kamong daan kon unsa ang inyong buhaton kon moabot si Marcos, busa dawata ninyo siya inig-abot niya.) 11 Si Jesus nga gitawag usab ug Justo nangumusta usab kaninyo. Kini silang tulo mao na lang ang mga Judio nga kauban ko dinhi nga nangalagad alang sa gingharian sa Dios. Nakadasig sila kanako.
12 Nangumusta usab ang inyong katagilungsod nga si Epafras. Usa usab siya sa mga alagad ni Cristo Jesus. Kanunay siyang nagaampo ug hugot alang kaninyo nga magpabilin kamong lig-on, hingpit, ug kumbinsido sa tanan nga kabubut-on sa Dios.[a] 13 Ako mismo makapamatuod nga si Epafras nangalagad gayod alang sa inyong kaayohan ug sa kaayohan sa atong mga igsoon sa Laodicea ug sa Hierapolis. 14 Si Demas ug ang atong pinalanggang doktor nga si Lucas nangumusta usab kaninyo.
15 Ipaabot usab ninyo ang among pagpangumusta ngadto sa atong mga igsoon sa Laodicea, ug kang Nimfas, ug sa mga tumutuo nga magtigoman sa iyang balay. 16 Kon mahuman na ninyo ug basa kining sulat, ipabasa usab ninyo kini sa mga tumutuo sa Laodicea. Ug basaha usab ninyo ang akong sulat nga gipadala alang sa Laodicea. 17 Ingna ninyo si Arkipus nga humanon niya ang buluhaton nga gitugyan kaniya sa Ginoo.
18 Ako mismo si Pablo ang nagsulat niini nga pagpangumusta:[b] kumusta sa inyong tanan. Ug palihog hinumdomi usab ninyo ako dinhi sa bilanggoan sa inyong mga pag-ampo.
Hinaut nga panalanginan gayod kamo sa Dios.
Colossians 4
King James Version
4 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
Colossians 4
English Standard Version
4 Masters, treat your bondservants[a] justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Further Instructions
2 (A)Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it (B)with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may (C)open to us a door for the word, (D)to declare the mystery of Christ, (E)on account of which I am in prison— 4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.
5 (F)Walk in wisdom toward (G)outsiders, making the best use of the time. 6 Let your speech always (H)be gracious, (I)seasoned with salt, (J)so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
Final Greetings
7 Tychicus will tell you (K)all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant[b] in the Lord. 8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, 9 and with him (L)Onesimus, our faithful and (M)beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.
10 (N)Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark (O)the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—(P)if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called (Q)Justus. (R)These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and (S)they have been a comfort to me. 12 (T)Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always (U)struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand (V)mature and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. 14 (W)Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does (X)Demas. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers[c] at Laodicea, and to Nympha and (Y)the church in her house. 16 And when (Z)this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And say to (AA)Archippus, “See that you fulfill (AB)the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”
18 I, Paul, (AC)write this greeting with my own hand. (AD)Remember (AE)my chains. (AF)Grace be with you.
