1ʻAe ngaahi ʻeiki, ʻatu ki hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku totonu mo tatau; he ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ai homou ʻEiki foki ʻi he langi.
1Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing that you also have a master in heaven.
2Fai maʻu pe ʻae lotu, pea leʻo ʻi ai mo fakafetaʻi;
2Be instant in prayer; watching in it with thanksgiving:
3Pea lotua ʻakimautolu foki, koeʻuhi ke toʻo kiate kimautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae matapā ʻoe lea, ke lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻa Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo haʻisia ai au:
3Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound;)
4Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā atu ia, ʻo taau mo ia ʻoku totonu ke u lea ʻaki.
4That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
5Mou ʻaʻeva ʻi he angafakapotopoto kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā, ʻo huhuʻi ʻae kuonga.
5Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time.
6Ke lelei maʻuaipē hoʻomou lea, ʻo fakalelei ʻaki ʻae māsima, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ke tali totonu ʻae tangata kotoa pē.
6Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man.
7E fakahā atu ʻeku meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu ʻe Tikiko, ʻaia ko e tokoua ʻofeina, mo e faifekau angatonu mo e kaungā tamaioʻeiki ʻi he ʻEiki:
7All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother, and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to you,
8ʻAia kuo u fekau atu kiate kimoutolu koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ko ia, pea koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo pe ʻoku mou fēfē, pea fakafiemālie ki homou loto;
8Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the things that concern you, and comfort your hearts,
9Pea mo Onesimosi, ko e tokoua angatonu mo ʻofeina, ʻaia ko homou tokotaha. Te na fakaʻilo kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi heni.
9With Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is one of you. All things that are done here, they shall make known to you.
10Ko ʻAlisitako, ho hoku kaunga nofo fale fakapōpula, ʻoku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu, mo Maʻake, ko e tama ʻae tuofefine ʻo Pānepasa, (ʻa ʻia naʻa mou maʻu ʻae fekau ʻoku kau kiate ia: kapau ʻoku ʻalu atu ia kiate kimoutolu, maʻu ia;)
10Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin german of Barnabus, touching whom you have received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him:
11Mo Sisu, ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Susito, ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku ʻoe kamu. Ko kinautolu ni pe ko hoku kaunga ngāue ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau fakafiemālie kiate au.
11And Jesus, that is called Justus: who are of the circumcision: these only are my helpers in the kingdom of God; who have been a comfort to me.
12Ko Epafasi, ko homou tokotaha, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻofa atu ia kiate kimoutolu: ʻoku fai feinga maʻuaipē ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lotu, koeʻuhi ke mou tuʻu haohaoa mo kakato ʻi he finangalo kotoa pē ʻoe ʻOtua.
12Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect, and full in all the will of God.
13He ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni ki ai, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae loto feinga lahi kiate kimoutolu, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻi Leotisia, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻi Heilapoli.
13For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you, and for them that are at Laodicea, and them at Hierapolis.
14Ko Luke, ko e faitoʻo ʻofeina, mo Timasi, ʻoku na ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu.
14Luke, the most dear physician, saluteth you: and Demas.
15Tala atu ʻeku ʻofa ki he kāinga ʻoku ʻi Leotisia, mo Nimifa, mo e siasi ʻi hono fale.
15Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.
16Pea ʻoka lau ʻae tohi ni ʻiate kimoutolu, vakai ke lau ia foki ki he siasi ʻoe kakai Leotisia; pea ke mou lau foki ʻae tohi mei Leotisia.
16And when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that which is of the Laodiceans.
17Pea tala kia ʻAkipa, “Ke ke vakai ki he ngāue kuo ke maʻu mei he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ia.”
17And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.
18Ko au Paula ʻoku ʻofa atu ʻaki hoku nima. Manatu ki hoku ngaahi haʻi. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.
18The salutation of Paul with my own hand. Be mindful of my bands. Grace be with you. Amen.
