This Epistle has been highly esteemed by several learned men of the church of Rome and others. The Quakers have printed a translation and plead for it, as the reader may see, by consulting Poole's Annotations on Col. vi. 16. Sixtus Senensis mentions two MSS., the one in the Sorbonne Library at Paris, which is a very ancient copy, and the other in the Library of Joannes a Viridario, at Padua, which he transcribed and published, and which is the authority for the following translation. There is a very old translation of this Epistle in the British Museum, among the Harleian MSS., Cod. 1212.

1. Ebbaluwa ya Pawulo Omutume eri Abalaodikiya
ESSUULA 1
1 Pawulo Omutume, si wa bantu, newakubadde mu bantu, wabula ku lwa Yesu
Kristo, eri ab'oluganda abali mu Laodikiya.
2 Ekisa n’emirembe bibeere gye muli okuva eri Katonda Kitaffe ne Mukama waffe
Yesu Kristo.
3 Nneebaza Kristo mu buli kusaba kwange, mulyoke munywererenga mu bikolwa
ebirungi nga mulindirira ebyo ebyasuubizibwa ku lunaku olw’omusango.
4 Ebigambo ebitaliimu bya mutawaana mmwe abakyamya amazima, bibaggya ku
mazima g'Enjiri gye nnabuulira.
5 Era kaakano Katonda akkirize, abakyufu bange batuuke ku kumanya
okutuukiridde okw’amazima g’Enjiri, babeere ab’omugaso, n’okukola emirimu
emirungi egiwerekera obulokozi.
6 Era kaakano emisibe gyange, gye nbonaabona mu Kristo, gyeyolekera, mwe
nsanyukira era mwe nsanyukira.
7 Kubanga mmanyi nga kino kiridda mu bulokozi bwange emirembe n'emirembe,
obulibaawo olw'okusaba kwammwe n'okuweebwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu.
8 Oba ndi mulamu oba nga nfudde; kubanga gyendi okubeera omulamu kiriba
bulamu eri Kristo, okufa kinaaba ssanyu.
9 Era Mukama waffe alituwa okusaasira kwe, mulyoke mubeere n’okwagala kwe
kumu, era mubeere n’endowooza emu.
10 Noolwekyo, abaagalwa bange, nga bwe muwulidde ku kujja kwa Mukama, bwe
mutyo mulowooze era mukole mu kutya, era buliba gye muli obulamu
obutaggwaawo;
11 Kubanga Katonda y'akola mu mmwe;
12 Era mukolenga byonna awatali kibi.
13 Era ekisinga obulungi, abaagalwa bange, musanyukire Mukama waffe Yesu
Kristo, era mwewale obugagga bwonna obucaafu.
14 Byonna bye musaba bitegeeze Katonda, era mubeere banywevu mu kuyigiriza
kwa Kristo.
15 ( B ) Era buli kintu ekituufu, eky’amazima, era eky’obulungi, n’obulongoofu,
n’obwenkanya, n’okwagala, ebyo bikola.
16 Ebyo bye muwulidde ne bye mwafuna, mulowoozenga ku ebyo, emirembe
giriba nammwe.
17 Abatukuvu bonna bakulamusa.
18 Ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo kibeere wamu n’omwoyo gwammwe.
Amiina.
19 Ebbaluwa eno esomebwe Abakkolosaayi, n’Ebbaluwa y’Abakkolosaayi
esomebwe mu mmwe.
