Ukolosiya 1
1 Bulus, unan kaduran Yesu unuzu nyinnu Kutelle, nin Timoti gwana bit,
This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the will of God, and from our brother Timothy.
2 udu kiti nalege na Kutelle na fere nani, alenge na ina ni nibinai mine kitin Yesu, ale na idi Nkolosiya. Ubolu Kutelle nin lisosin limang nnuzu Kutelle Ucif bit.
To the believers and trusting Christians at Colossae: may you have grace and peace from God our Father.
3 Tidinin liburi liboo kiti Kutelle, Ufin Yesu Kristi, ti din suu minu nlira kokome kubi.
We are always thankful to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for you, and pray for you.
4 Tina lanza uyinu mine sa uyenu nanya Yesu Kristi, nin suu kiti na lena Kutelle nafere nani.
We've heard about your trust in Christ Jesus and your love for all the believers
5 Bara uni kibinai nghinua, nin ciu nanyi mine kiti nimong ile idi kitene kan, anughe wa cizin ulanzu ubelen nni nibinai nine unuzu ligbulang kidagen, ullirun nlai.
because of the hope prepared for you in heaven. You already heard about this in the good news, the message of truth
6 Ulenge na una dak kitimine, nafo ulenge na adin macu, akunjo vat inye, nafo na anughe ditutung, uyire liyiru longo na iwa lanza, ida yinno nkunekune Kutelle nanya kidegen mye.
that came to you just as it has gone throughout the whole world, spreading widely and bringing results. It's done the same for you too, ever since you heard it and realized the true nature of God's grace.
7 Udi nafo na iwa lanza kitin Abafras, udon licin bite ule na adi kucin kulau ku Yesu kitimine.
Our dear friend and fellow-worker Epaphras, who is a trustworthy minister of Christ on our behalf, taught you about this.
8 Ame ule na ana puun nari usu mine nanya Nfip milau.
He's also made clear to us your love in the Spirit.
9 Bara ule usuwe unuzu liyiri longo na tiwa lanza ubellen minu nati sunan nlirang nin tirinu nworo uyinnu kullo munu nin se nyinnunu nanya nn Ufip milau.
Because of this we continue to pray for you from the time we heard about you, asking God to give you understanding of what he wants you to do and to give you every kind of spiritual wisdom and understanding.
10 Anit din nliran nworo ucin mine cinu dert, nin vat, nafo na iba macu nanya liddu licine nin nkunju mine nanya nyinu Kutelle.
That way you'll live lives that rightly represent the Lord and please him, producing all kinds of good results and gaining greater knowledge of God.
11 Tidin nliran nworo vat nile imong na idin suwe, nanya likara nzinu mye, una dorfino nin ghinu nanya ncin nibinai mine nin nayi ashau
May you be made powerfully strong by his wonderful strength, having great patience and endurance.
12 Tidin nlira nworo ule imone yita iba zazinu Ucif bite nin nayi aboo ulenge na atanari tinanin nbatina ulii ngadu nanya anan yinu sa uyenu nanya uhaske.
May you happily praise the Father, who has made it possible for us to share in the inheritance of God's people who live in the light.
13 Ana bolu nari nanya likara nsirti, anin kpiliya nari udu kitetne tigo Ngono me nayi mye.
He rescued us from the tyranny of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 Nanya Ngono mere tina se utucu nin nshawu kulapi.
through whom we have been set free and our sins forgiven.
15 Gone amere tina se utucu nin shawu na lapi bite
The Son is the visible picture of the invisible God. He was before all creation,
16 Bara kitimere iwa ke imong vat ilengene na idi kitene kani nin nilenge na idi inye vat, ulenge na idin yenju nin nilenge nsalin nyenju, sa kuteet tigo, sa uminu kipin, sa tigo vat nimon amere wa kee bara litime.
for everything was created through him—in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, empires, rulers, leaders and authorities—everything was created through him and for him.
17 Ame di ubun nin ko iyang, nanya mere ko iyang di kiti kirum.
He existed before everything, and he holds everything together.
18 Amere liti nanit mye, kidowo mye amere unan cizinu likara, kumat ncizinu nanya na nan nkul, adinnin kitin ncizunu nanya nimon vat.
He is also the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the first and highest of those raised from the dead, so that he is supreme in everything.
19 Nanere bara una poo Kutelle liburi a kpiliya, nworo vat nkullu nimon nan so kitimye.
God was pleased to have his full nature live in him,
20 Anan keele imon vat unuzu ngono mye udu kiti mye, Kutelle wa su nani kubi na awa keele ko iyang unuzu mmi Ngono mye na iwa gutun kitene nbanu kutea, sa imon inyi sa kitene kan.
and through him brought back everything in the universe to himself, since he made peace through the blood of his cross, through him reconciling all those on the earth and in heaven.
21 Au anung wang nkon kubi, iwadi amara kitin Kutelle, iwa di anan nivira mye nanya nibinai nin katwa kananzang.
You once were alienated from God, enemies in the way you thought and the way you acted,
22 Udak nene Kutelle wa munu minu kitene kidowo Yesu kin nkul, ankpa min annit alau, anan sali nimong tizogo anan sali nnanu lidu nbun mye.
but now he has reconciled you through his dying human body, bringing you into his presence where you stand holy, pure, and faultless.
23 Andi tutun anughe ashono ati nanya nyinu sa uyenu anan liyisi nari gagang, na ana nworo iba kalu nani kiti katwa Kutelle na ina latiza ulenge na inasu uwa azi nin vat makeke na udi kadas, meny tutun na ina tii nso unan katuwa meng Bulus.
But your trust in him must continue rock-solid and immovable. Don't be shaken from the hope of the good news that you heard, the good news that's been shared throughout the world—that's the work that I Paul have been doing.
24 Idinin liburi liboo nin nniu nighe bara anughe, nkulun ile imonghe na idarni nin lanzu nkul nama kidowo Yesu na unere ana dortu mye.
I'm happy to have trouble for your sake, for by means of what happens to me physically I'm part of Christ's sufferings that he continues to experience for the sake of his body, the church.
25 Nwwasu katwa kutyi nliran dert nin katwa kutelle ka na iwa nii bara anughe uliru Kutelle nan kullo.
I serve the church following the direction God gave me about you, to present fully the word of God to you.
26 Kidegen ka na kiwa nyeshin nin nakus piit udu kuji kidung na kudi ncinu, bara nene ina puun kti nanit alau mye. (aiōn g165)
This is the mystery that was hidden down through the ages and for many generations, but it's now been revealed to God's people. (aiōn g165)
27 Anughere ale na Kutelle wa yinin a belle nani ko iyagari use nkanang micine mongo na midi nanya nanit. Ame Kristi na adi nanya mine amere uciu kibinai ngongong mine.
God wanted to make known to them the glorious wealth of this mystery to the nations: Christ living in you is the glorious hope!
28 Amere ulele na tidin su nin lisa mye, tidin gbaru ko gha ku, ti dursuzo ko gha ku nin vat nyiru unan so dert kitin Yesu.
We're telling everyone about him, instructing and teaching them in the best way we know how so that we can bring everyone before God fully mature in Christ.
29 Nenere ndi katuwa nin nfo kidowo bara katwa mye ka na atii ndi suwe nin likaraa.
That's what I'm working for too, making every effort as I rely on his strength which is powerfully at work in me.
