Colossians 4

1 Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

1 أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّادَةُ، قَدِّمُوا لِلْعَبِيدِ ٱلْعَدْلَ وَٱلْمُسَاوَاةَ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ لَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا سَيِّدًا فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,

2 وَاظِبُوا عَلَى ٱلصَّلَاةِ سَاهِرِينَ فِيهَا بِٱلشُّكْرِ،

3 as you pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

3 مُصَلِّينَ فِي ذَلِكَ لِأَجْلِنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا، لِيَفْتَحَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَنَا بَابًا لِلْكَلَامِ، لِنَتَكَلَّمَ بِسِرِّ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ أَنَا مُوثَقٌ أَيْضًا،

4 Pray that I may declare it clearly, as I should.

4 كَيْ أُظْهِرَهُ كَمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ.

5 Act wisely toward outsiders, redeeming the time.

5 اُسْلُكُوا بِحِكْمَةٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، مُفْتَدِينَ ٱلْوَقْتَ.

6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

6 لِيَكُنْ كَلَامُكُمْ كُلَّ حِينٍ بِنِعْمَةٍ، مُصْلَحًا بِمِلْحٍ، لِتَعْلَمُوا كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُجَاوِبُوا كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ.

7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.

7 جَمِيعُ أَحْوَالِي سَيُعَرِّفُكُمْ بِهَا تِيخِيكُسُ ٱلْأَخُ ٱلْحَبِيبُ، وَٱلْخَادِمُ ٱلْأَمِينُ، وَٱلْعَبْدُ مَعَنَا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ،

8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts.

8 ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ لِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ، لِيَعْرِفَ أَحْوَالَكُمْ وَيُعَزِّيَ قُلُوبَكُمْ،

9 With him I am sending Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.

9 مَعْ أُنِسِيمُسَ ٱلْأَخِ ٱلْأَمِينِ ٱلْحَبِيبِ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مِنْكُمْ. هُمَا سَيُعَرِّفَانِكُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا هَهُنَا.

10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you greetings, as does Mark the cousin of Barnabas. You have already received instructions about him: If he comes to you, welcome him.

10 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَرِسْتَرْخُسُ ٱلْمَأْسُورُ مَعِي، وَمَرْقُسُ ٱبْنُ أُخْتِ بَرْنَابَا، ٱلَّذِي أَخَذْتُمْ لِأَجْلِهِ وَصَايَا. إِنْ أَتَى إِلَيْكُمْ فَٱقْبَلُوهُ.

11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

11 وَيَسُوعُ ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ يُسْطُسَ، ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْخِتَانِ. هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ وَحْدَهُمُ ٱلْعَامِلُونَ مَعِي لِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِينَ صَارُوا لِي تَسْلِيَةً.

12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in the full will of God.

12 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَبَفْرَاسُ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مِنْكُمْ، عَبْدٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ، مُجَاهِدٌ كُلَّ حِينٍ لِأَجْلِكُمْ بِٱلصَّلَوَاتِ، لِكَيْ تَثْبُتُوا كَامِلِينَ وَمُمْتَلِئِينَ فِي كُلِّ مَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ.

13 For I testify about him that he goes to great pains for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis.

13 فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ فِيهِ أَنَّ لَهُ غَيْرَةً كَثِيرَةً لِأَجْلِكُمْ، وَلِأَجْلِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي لَاوُدِكِيَّةَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ فِي هِيَرَابُولِيسَ.

14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you greetings.

14 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ لُوقَا ٱلطَّبِيبُ ٱلْحَبِيبُ، وَدِيمَاسُ.

15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea, as well as Nympha and the church that meets at her house.

15 سَلِّمُوا عَلَى ٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي لَاوُدِكِيَّةَ، وَعَلَى نِمْفَاسَ وَعَلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِهِ.

16 After this letter has been read among you, make sure that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.

16 وَمَتَى قُرِئَتْ عِنْدَكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلرِّسَالَةُ فَٱجْعَلُوهَا تُقْرَأُ أَيْضًا فِي كَنِيسَةِ ٱللَّاوُدِكِيِّينَ، وَٱلَّتِي مِنْ لَاوُدِكِيَّةَ تَقْرَأُونَهَا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا.

17 Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”

17 وَقُولُوا لِأَرْخِبُّسَ: «ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْخِدْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي قَبِلْتَهَا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ لِكَيْ تُتَمِّمَهَا».

18 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

18 اَلسَّلَامُ بِيَدِي أَنَا بُولُسَ. اُذْكُرُوا وُثُقِي. اَلنِّعْمَةُ مَعَكُمْ. آمِينَ. -كُتِبَتْ إِلَى أَهْلِ كُولُسِّي مِنْ رُومِيَةِ بِيَدِ تِيخِيكُسَ وَ أُنِسِمُسَ-
