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.
Kehillah in Colossae 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Adonim, treat your avadim in a manner that is yashar and even-handed, with the da’as that you also have an Adon in Shomayim. [Lv 25:43,53]
2 Persevere in your tefillos, keeping watch while davening with todot (thanksgiving),
3 Davening together also concerning us, that G-d may open for us a delet for the Besuras HaGeulah, to speak the raz of Moshiach, on account of which also I have been bound with sharsherot (chains).
4 Offer this tefillah: that I make known the Besuras HaGeulah as it is necessary for me to speak.
5 Walk in chochmah toward outsiders, redeeming the time.
6 May your lashon always be with the Chen v’Chesed Hashem, seasoned with melach (salt), so that you may have da’as how it is necessary for you to answer each one.
7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me; he is a beloved Ach b’Moshiach and a keli kodesh who is ne’eman (faithful), a chaver and fellow eved in Adoneinu.
8 Tychicus I sent to you for this very reason, that you might have da’as of everything concerning us and he might impart chizzuk (strengthening, encouragement) to your levavot.
9 With Onesimus, the Ach b’Moshiach, ne’eman and a beloved chaver, one of your kehillah, Tychicus will make known the things here.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you Drishat Shalom. Also Markos, cousin of Bar-Nabba. You have received word klapei (concerning) Markos. If he should come to you, give him a kabbalat panim reception and be mekarev (befriend) him.
11 Also Yehoshua, the one being called Justus. These [Aristarchus, Markos, and Justus] are the only Messianic Jews among my fellow po’alim (workers) in the Malchut Hashem. They became to me an encouragement.
12 Epaphras sends you Drishat Shalom. He has also been mishtatef your kehillah, an eved of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, always davening, always agonizing for you in his tefillos, that you might stand Bnei Chayil mature and be fully assured in all the ratzon Hashem.
13 For I give solemn eidus for him that he has toiled much for you and for the ones in Laodicea and for the ones in Hieraopolis.
14 Lukas, the beloved physician, sends you Drishat Shalom, and Demas.
15 Drishat Shalom to the Achim b’Moshiach in Laodicea and to Nymphas and the Brit Chadasha kehillah at her bais.
16 And whenever this iggeret ([hakodesh] holy epistle) is read before you, make sure also that it is read in the Moshiach’s Brit Chadasha Kehillah of the Laodiceans, and also you should read the iggeret [hakodesh] of the Laodiceans.
17 And say to Archippus, "Give attention to the avodas kodesh ministry which you received in Adoneinu, that you fulfill it."
18 This is my handsigned drishat shalom greeting, SHA’UL. Remember my sharsherot (prison chains). Chen v’Chesed Hashem be with you. [T.N. When Rav Sha’ul wrote Romans there were four Messianic Jews with him. Here he speaks of three.]
Colosenses 4
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
4 Amos, proporcionad a vuestros esclavos lo que es justo y equitativo, conscientes de que vosotros también tenéis un Amo en el cielo.
Instrucciones adicionales
2 Dedicaos a la oración: perseverad en ella con agradecimiento 3 y, al mismo tiempo, interceded por nosotros a fin de que Dios nos abra las puertas para proclamar la palabra, el misterio de Cristo por el cual estoy preso. 4 Orad para que yo lo anuncie con claridad, como debo hacerlo. 5 Comportaos sabiamente con los que no creen en Cristo,[a] aprovechando al máximo cada momento oportuno. 6 Que vuestra conversación sea siempre amena y de buen gusto. Así sabréis cómo responder a cada uno.
Saludos finales
7 Nuestro querido hermano Tíquico, fiel servidor y colaborador[b] en el Señor, os contará con detalle cómo me va. 8 Lo envío a vosotros precisamente para que tengáis noticias de nosotros, y así cobréis ánimo.[c] 9 Va con Onésimo, querido y fiel hermano, que es uno de vosotros. Ellos os pondrán al tanto de todo lo que sucede aquí.
10 Aristarco, mi compañero de cárcel, os manda saludos, como también Marcos, el primo de Bernabé. En cuanto a Marcos, vosotros ya habéis recibido instrucciones; si va a visitaros, recibidle bien. 11 También os saluda Jesús, llamado el Justo. Estos son los únicos judíos que colaboran conmigo en pro del reino de Dios, y me han sido de mucho consuelo. 12 Os manda saludos Epafras, que es uno de vosotros. Este siervo de Cristo Jesús está siempre luchando en oración por vosotros, para que, plenamente convencidos,[d] os mantengáis firmes, cumpliendo en todo la voluntad de Dios. 13 A mí me consta que él se preocupa mucho por vosotros y por los que están en Laodicea y en Hierápolis. 14 Os saludan Lucas, el querido médico, y Demas. 15 Saludad a los hermanos que están en Laodicea, como también a Ninfas y a la iglesia que se reúne en su casa.
16 Una vez que se os haya leído esta carta, que se lea también en la iglesia de Laodicea, y vosotros leed la carta dirigida a esa iglesia.
17 Decidle a Arquipo que se ocupe de la tarea que recibió en el Señor, y que la lleve a cabo.
18 Yo, Pablo, escribo este saludo de mi puño y letra. Recordad que estoy preso. Que la gracia sea con vosotros.
