Colossians 4

你们作主人的，要公公平平地待仆人，因为知道你们也有一位主在天上。

nǐ men zuò zhǔ rén de ， yào gōng gong píng píng dì dài pú rén ， yīn wèi zhī dào nǐ men yě yǒu yí wèi zhǔ zài tiān shàng 。

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

你们要恒切祷告，在此警醒感恩。

nǐ men yào héng qiè dǎo gào ， zài cǐ jǐng xǐng gǎn ēn 。

Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,

也要为我们祷告，求 神给我们开传道的门，能以讲基督的奥秘（我为此被捆锁），

yě yào wèi wǒ men dǎo gào ， qiú shén gěi wǒ men kāi chuán dào de mén ， néng yǐ jiǎng jī dū de ào mì （ wǒ wèi cǐ bèi kǔn suǒ ），

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,

叫我按着所该说的话将这奥秘发明出来。

jiào wǒ àn zhe suǒ gāi shuō de huà jiāng zhè ào mì fā míng chū lái 。

that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.

你们要爱惜光阴，用智慧与外人交往。

nǐ men yào ài xī guāng yīn ， yòng zhì huì yǔ wài rén jiāo wǎng 。

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

你们的言语要常常带着和气，好像用盐调和，就可知道该怎样回答各人。

nǐ men de yán yǔ yào cháng cháng dài zhe hé qì ， hǎo xiàng yòng yán tiáo hé ， jiù kě zhī dào gāi zěn yàng huí dá gè rén 。

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

有我亲爱的兄弟推基古要将我一切的事都告诉你们。他是忠心的执事，和我一同作主的仆人。

yǒu wǒ qīn ài de xiōng dì tuī jī gǔ yào jiāng wǒ yí qiè de shì dōu gào sù nǐ men 。 tā shì zhōng xīn de zhí shì ， hé wǒ yì tóng zuò zhǔ de pú rén 。

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

我特意打发他到你们那里去，好叫你们知道我们的光景，又叫他安慰你们的心。

wǒ tè yì dǎ fā tā dào nǐ men nà lǐ qù ， hǎo jiào nǐ men zhī dào wǒ men de guāng jǐng ， yòu jiào tā ān wèi nǐ men de xīn 。

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

我又打发一位亲爱忠心的兄弟阿尼西谋同去；他也是你们那里的人。他们要把这里一切的事都告诉你们。

wǒ yòu dǎ fā yí wèi qīn ài zhōng xīn de xiōng dì ā ní xī móu tóng qù ； tā yě shì nǐ men nà lǐ de rén 。 tā men yào bǎ zhè lǐ yí qiè de shì dōu gào sù nǐ men 。

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.

与我一同坐监的亚里达古问你们安。巴拿巴的表弟马可也问你们安。（说到这马可，你们已经受了吩咐；他若到了你们那里，你们就接待他。）

yǔ wǒ yì tóng zuò jiān de yà lǐ dá gǔ wèn nǐ men ān 。 bā ná bā de biǎo dì mǎ kě yě wèn nǐ men ān 。（ shuō dào zhè mǎ kě ， nǐ men yǐ jīng shòu le fēn fù ； tā ruò dào le nǐ men nà lǐ ， nǐ men jiù jiē dài tā 。）

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, “if he comes to you, receive him”),

耶数又称为犹士都，也问你们安。奉割礼的人中，只有这三个人是为 神的国与我一同做工的，也是叫我心里得安慰的。

yē shù yòu chēng wèi yóu shì dōu ， yě wèn nǐ men ān 。 fèng gē lǐ de rén zhōng ， zhǐ yǒu zhè sān gè rén shì wèi shén de guó yǔ wǒ yì tóng zuò gōng de ， yě shì jiào wǒ xīn lǐ dé ān wèi de 。

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.

有你们那里的人，作基督耶稣仆人的以巴弗问你们安。他在祷告之间，常为你们竭力地祈求，愿你们在 神一切的旨意上得以完全，信心充足，能站立得稳。

yǒu nǐ men nà lǐ de rén ， zuò jī dū yē sū pú rén de yǐ bā fú wèn nǐ men ān 。 tā zài dǎo gào zhī jiān ， cháng wèi nǐ men jié lì dì qí qiú ， yuàn nǐ men zài shén yí qiè de zhǐ yì shàng dé yǐ wán quán ， xìn xīn chōng zú ， néng zhàn lì dé wěn 。

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.

他为你们和老底嘉并希拉坡里的弟兄多多地劳苦，这是我可以给他作见证的。

tā wèi nǐ men hé lǎo dǐ jiā bìng xī lā pō lǐ de dì xiong duō duō dì láo kǔ ， zhè shì wǒ kě yǐ gěi tā zuò jiàn zhèng de 。

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

所亲爱的医生路加和底马问你们安。

suǒ qīn ài de yī shēng lù jiā hé dǐ mǎ wèn nǐ men ān 。

Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.

请问老底嘉的弟兄和宁法，并她家里的教会安。

qǐng wèn lǎo dǐ jiā de dì xiong hé níng fǎ ， bìng tā jiā lǐ de jiào huì ān 。

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

你们念了这书信，便交给老底嘉的教会，叫他们也念；你们也要念从老底嘉来的书信。

nǐ men niàn le zhè shū xìn ， biàn jiāo gěi lǎo dǐ jiā de jiào huì ， jiào tā men yě niàn ； nǐ men yě yào niàn cóng lǎo dǐ jiā lái de shū xìn 。

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.

要对亚基布说：「务要谨慎，尽你从主所受的职分。」

yào duì yà jī bù shuō ：「 wù yào jǐn shèn ， jìn nǐ cóng zhǔ suǒ shòu de zhí fēn 。」

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

我—保罗亲笔问你们安。你们要记念我的捆锁。愿恩惠常与你们同在！

wǒ — bǎo luó qīn bǐ wèn nǐ men ān 。 nǐ men yào jì niàn wǒ de kǔn suǒ 。 yuàn ēn huì cháng yǔ nǐ men tóng zài ！

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