Kolociyawa 1
1 Bulus Nii ttomange Yeecu Kriritti ki maka kwama, kange Timoti yibe.
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, the brother,
2 Tom bo ne bilenker kange kebbebo mor Almacifu mor kolosiyawa ba, ciya ki ciyeu, Nyori luma kange fur nener ayi ari kange kom, fiya kwama tebe iyeu.
to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ, who are at Colosse: Favor to you, and peace from God our Father.
3 Nyo min ma buka kangek kwama nen, Te teluwe be Yecu Kritti, nyo kwob kumen diloti, kir-kir,
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ always, when we pray for you;
4 Nyon mwa ki bilelnker kume mor Kritti Yeecu, kange ciuka ko kom ciko dor nob kwama bo cak-cakeu.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have to all the saints--
5 Kom wiki cuika ko wo, wori kom ki yoneri yom na kume lo kwama. Kon nuwa dor yoneriro wo, na nimre mor bilenker, fulen ker.
for the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you have formerly heard in the word of truth of the gospel,
6 Wuro bou kumeneu, fulen kero ti tui, la ti bui fiyemin gwam dor bitiner. mawo kumen kom ki diye wo ka nuwam co la ka merangum dor luma kwamak bicom.
which is present among you, as it is also in the world, and is bringing forth fruit and prevailing, even as among you, from that day you heard and knew the favor of God in truth--
7 Won co fulenkero na wo mo merang Abafara canga be ba cui cuiyeu won canga kritti tum nyi be nii bilenker.
even as you learned it of Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ,
8 Abafaras ni nyo cuika kume ko mor yuwatangbe kwama.
who has also declared to us your love in spirit.
9 Ker cuika ka ro wo diye nyo nuwameu, nyo dob bo kwob ka dilo dorkumer. Nyo ti mai na ko dim ki nyomka nerer cek, kange ne ka kwamak, kange nyomka yuwa tangbek.
For this reason, we also, from the day we heard these things, do not cease to pray for you, and to request that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding--
10 Nyo kwob diloti na ko ya yom bo daten kange Teluwe, ki mure wwo a fo cinen tiyeu. nyo kwob diloti nyo ki kan ne bbitutti mor nagenero ken, na ko ii mor nyomka cek.
that you may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, bringing forth fruit by every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Nyo kwob diloti ko ma bi kwamer nerer mor nyomka ki bi kwan duktangka cek. kange birom nerer kange dange.
being strengthened with all strength, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joy:
12 Nyo kwob diloti kan ma buka kangek fur neerer Tee nin wo doki ka fiya mor kwali nob kwamar mor filang wucakkeu.
giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in the light;
13 Con yoo boliyar kumtaciler, yila ken ki bo liyar bi bwece co cui-cuiyeu.
who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:
14 Fiye bwe nine bafiya fanka, tabka bwiran kerer.
by whom we have redemption, even the remission of sins.
15 Bweu co cer kang na kwama wo mani fur reu. Bwe kaba dike fwele gwam.
He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of the whole creation.
16 La cinen dikero gwam fwele, buro diyeu kange buro bitineu, wo toti toweu, kange dike wo mani to tiyeu, kaka kange liyar tinnim kange Bikwan kerer, dikero gwam co ca fwel ciye, lana ce.
Because, by him were created all things which are in the heavens, and which are upon the earth; things visible, and things invisible; whether thrones, or lordships, or governments, or powers; all things were created by him and for him.
17 Con wi na nimre dikero gwam, more c la dikero mwerkangume.
And he is before all things; and by him all things consist.
18 Lam co dor bwiyer ki wabero, co kabau, kange bwe kabau mor nubo bwiyarangumeu. La con wiki fiye kaba mor dikere gwam.
And he is the head of the body, even the congregation. He is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in all respects he might be pre-eminent.
19 La kwama ma fur neerer toki dika ceko gwam a yi morece.
For it pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell in him;
20 Na co yuwelkangum fiye bwe wiyeu, dikero gwam cinen. Kwama ma fur neerer, wo buyale ce cori dor koblom batiyem. Kwama yuwelkangum dikero gwam cinen ki bwici. kaka co dikero bitinereu kaka con wo diyeu,
and by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; I say, by him, whether they be things on the earth, or things in the heavens.
21 Fiya co kom fabub kwama nen nob kiyeb ceb mor neere, kange ma ka dikero bwir.
Even you, who were formerly alienated in mind, and enemies by wicked works,
22 La na weu, con yuwel kangum kom ki bwiciu fiye bwareu. Co mawo na co neken kom wucak man ki kurom.
he has now, indeed, reconciled, by the body of his flesh, to present you holy and unblamable, and unreprovable, in his sight;
23 Na kom ca kaba ti mor bilenker di, kulumkue, Tim tiye buro mani kutar cunga fiye yoneri fulen kerero, a nuwu. Won co fulenkerero yi nubo fwelfwele tob kange lo kwamau, won co fulen kerero mo bulus ma yilam caga.
if, indeed, you continue in the faith founded and stable, and not removed from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature which is under heaven; of which I, Paul, am made a minister.
24 Naweu, miti bilangi ki dotange miu dor kumer, mor bwiye min dim dikero kum mor dotange Almasihu, wo bwiciu, co ku wabeu.
I now rejoice in sufferings for you, and fill up the remainder of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for his body, which is the congregation;
25 Ki woro kuwabeu yila canga, ki nagen do kwama ney dor kumereu, na dim tomange kwama.
of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which was given to me on your account, fully to declare the word of God--
26 Wuro co yurke bicome wo yurangum yurange, coti kange kaltinum. La na weu, cin fweltangu nob kwama bo wucak nen. (aiōn g165)
the secret which had been kept hid from the ages, and from the generations, but now has been made manifest to his saints; (aiōn g165)
27 La cinen kwama cuiti na co fweltangu cuweka duktangka yurke bilenker tiber nob kumta cile. nungi Alamacifu more kume. Nyomka duktangkako botiyeu.
to whom God has pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Co nyo ne fulen cero tiye, ne ci biwerti kange merangka gwam ciyek ki nyomka gwam, la na bo ne nubo dim diye gwam mor Yeecu.
whom we announce, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, with all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ.
29 Ki dor wor ma nangenti mi yokten bi kwanti ki bikwan cero wo managen ti minen ki bi kwaneu.
For which I also labor, combating vigorously, according to the effectual working of him who works effectually in me with power.
