In which case, Christian's answer is correct.
For an affine transformation, the bottom row of the 4x4 matrix will be
[0 0 0 1], so you have:
[x'] [a b c d] [x] [ax+by+cz+d]
[y'] = [e f g h] [y] = [ex+fy+gz+h]
[z'] [i j k l] [z] [ix+jy+kz+l]
[1 ] [0 0 0 1] [1] [1 ]
=>
[x'] [ax+by+cz+d] [a b c] [x] [d]
[y'] = [ex+fy+gz+h] = [e f g] [y] + [h]
[z'] [ix+jy+kz+l] [i j k] [z] [l]
IOW:
xyz_ = m[:3,:3] * xyz + m[:3,3:]
(where xyz is a column vector or 3xN array)
