1Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
1Isandad, andke orjadele, mis on õiglane ja kohane, teades, et ka teil on isand taevas!
2Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
2Palvetage püsivalt, valvake tänupalves!
3Withal 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:
3Palvetage ühtlasi ka meie eest, et Jumal avaks meile sõna ukse kuulutada Kristuse saladust, mille pärast ma ju olen ahelais,
4That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
4et ma seda oskaksin avaldada nõnda, nagu ma pean rääkima.
5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
5Käige tarkuses nende ees, kes on väljaspool, kasutades aega õigesti!
6Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
6Teie kõne olgu alati armu sees, soolaga maitsestatud, et te teaksite, kuidas teil tuleb igaühele kosta.
7All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
7Kuidas mu käsi käib, küll seda kõike teatab teile Tühhikos, armas vend ning ustav abiline ja kaassulane Issandas,
8Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
8kelle ma selleks teie juurde saadan, et te teaksite, kuidas minu käsi käib, ja et ta julgustaks teie südameid.
9With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
9Ma saadan ta koos ustava ja armsa venna Oneesimosega, kes on pärit teie seast. Küll nemad teatavad teile kõik, kuidas lugu siin on.
10Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
10Teid tervitab Aristarhos, mu vanglakaaslane, ja Markus, Barnabase õepoeg, kelle kohta te olete juba käsu saanud, et kui ta peaks tulema teie juurde, te võtaksite ta vastu;
11And 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.
11terviseid Jeesuselt, keda nimetatakse Justuseks. Nemad on ümberlõigatutest olnud ainukesed kaastöölised Jumala riigi heaks, kes on olnud mulle lohutuseks.
12Epaphras, 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.
12Teid tervitab Epafras, kes on pärit teie seast, Kristuse Jeesuse sulane, kes alati võitleb teie eest palvetades, et te püsiksite täiuslikena ja oleksite täidetud kõigega, mis on Jumala tahtmine.
13For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

14Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
14Teid tervitavad armas arst Luukas ja Deemas.
15Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
15Tervitage vendi Laodikeias ning Nümfat ja kogudust tema kojas!
16And 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.
16Ja kui see kiri teie juures on ette loetud, siis tehke nii, et seda loetaks ka Laodikeia koguduses ning et teie loeksite ka Laodikeiast tulevat kirja.
17And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
17Ja öelge Arhipposele: 'Vaata, et sa täidad seda teenimiseametit, mille sa oled saanud Issandas!'
18The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
18Tervitus on mu enese, Pauluse käega. Mõtelge mu vangipõlvele! Arm olgu teiega!
