OET (OET-LV) Greet the brothers in Laodikeia, and Numfas, and the assembly in the_house of_them.

OET (OET-RV) Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the assembly that meets in her house,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:7–18: Paul wrote final messages and greetings

Paragraph 4:15–17

Theme: Paul gave the Colossians some final instructions.

4:15a

Greet the brothers in Laodicea,

brothers: See the note on 1:2a.

4:15b

as well as Nympha and the church that meets at her house.

Nympha and the church that meets at her house: Nympha is a woman’s name. If your language uses the same pronoun for “his” and “her,” it may not be clear in your translation that Nympha was a woman. This is acceptable. You do not have to make this information explicit unless there is a natural way to do so. One way to do this is to use a form of the name Nympha that would be used only for women’s names.

the church that meets at her house: See the note on 1:18a and the word “church” in the glossary. Remember that the Greek word ekklēsia, which is usually translated church in English, means “assembly, congregation.” It never refers to a building. When Paul was writing this letter, Christians did not meet in special buildings. They usually met in people’s houses.

uW Translation Notes:

ἀσπάσασθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀσπάσασθε τούς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἀδελφούς καί Νύμφαν καί τήν κατʼ οἶκον αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίαν)

As was customary in this culture, Paul not only extends greetings from people who are with him and who know the people to whom he is writing (as he has done in [4:10–14](../04/10.md)). He also asks the Colossians to extend greetings for him to other people that both he and the Colossians know. Your language may have a particular way of sharing greetings in a letter. If so, you could use that form here. Alternate translation: [Remember me to] or [Say hello for me to]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοὺς & ἀδελφοὺς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀσπάσασθε τούς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἀδελφούς καί Νύμφαν καί τήν κατʼ οἶκον αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίαν)

The word brothers does not refer to only male people. Instead, it refers to both men and women who are part of the group of believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idea with a word that does not refer to natural gender or you could use both male and female genders. Alternate translation: [the brothers and sisters]

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Νύμφαν

Nympha

Nympha is the name of a woman.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κατ’ οἶκον αὐτῆς

in ˓the˒_house (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀσπάσασθε τούς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἀδελφούς καί Νύμφαν καί τήν κατʼ οἶκον αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίαν)

The phrase in her house is a way to indicate that the church used Nympha’s house as their meeting place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [that gathers in her house]
