Colossians 4 — TOJB
4Verse 1Adonim, treat your avadim in a manner that is yashar and even-handed, with the da'as that you also have an Adon in Shomayim.+Verse 2Persevere in your tefillos, keeping watch while davening with todot (thanksgiving),Verse 3Davening 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).Verse 4Offer this tefillah: that I make known the Besuras HaGeulah as it is necessary for me to speak.Verse 5Walk in chochmah toward outsiders, redeeming the time.Verse 6May 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.Verse 7Tychicus 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.Verse 8Tychicus 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.Verse 9With Onesimus, the Ach b'Moshiach, ne'eman and a beloved chaver, one of your kehillah, Tychicus will make known the things here.Verse 10Aristarchus, 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.Verse 11Also Yehoshua, the one being called Justus. These+are the only Messianic Jews among my fellow po'alim (workers) in the Malchut Hashem. They became to me an encouragement.Verse 12Epaphras 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.Verse 13For I give solemn eidus for him that he has toiled much for you and for the ones in Laodicea and for the ones in Hierapolis.Verse 14Lukas, the beloved physician, sends you Drishat Shalom, and Demas.Verse 15Drishat Shalom to the Achim b'Moshiach in Laodicea and to Nymphas and the Brit Chadasha kehillah at her bais.Verse 16And whenever this iggeret [hakodesh] (holy epistle) is read before you, make sure also that it is read in the Moshiachʼs Brit Chadasha Kehillah of the Laodiceans, and also you should read the iggeret [hakodesh] of the Laodiceans.Verse 17And say to Archippus, “Give attention to the avodas kodesh ministry which you received in Adoneinu, that you fulfill it.”Verse 18This is my hand-signed drishat shalom greeting, sha'ul. Remember my sharsherot (prison chains). Chen v'Chesed Hashem be with you.+
