Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our 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 brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nyo min ma buka kangek kwama nen, Te teluwe be Yecu Kritti, nyo kwob kumen diloti, kir-kir,
We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always 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 towards 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.
because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News
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 has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace 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 learnt from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
8 Abafaras ni nyo cuika kume ko mor yuwatangbe kwama.
who also declared to us your love in the 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 cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and 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 worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in 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.
strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance 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 made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13 Con yoo boliyar kumtaciler, yila ken ki bo liyar bi bwece co cui-cuiyeu.
who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 Fiye bwe nine bafiya fanka, tabka bwiran kerer.
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our 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 firstborn of all 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.
For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
17 Con wi na nimre dikero gwam, more c la dikero mwerkangume.
He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
18 Lam co dor bwiyer ki wabero, co kabau, kange bwe kabau mor nubo bwiyarangumeu. La con wiki fiye kaba mor dikere gwam.
He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 La kwama ma fur neerer toki dika ceko gwam a yi morece.
For all the fullness was pleased to 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 through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
21 Fiya co kom fabub kwama nen nob kiyeb ceb mor neere, kange ma ka dikero bwir.
You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
22 La na weu, con yuwel kangum kom ki bwiciu fiye bwareu. Co mawo na co neken kom wucak man ki kurom.
yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
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 it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
24 Naweu, miti bilangi ki dotange miu dor kumer, mor bwiye min dim dikero kum mor dotange Almasihu, wo bwiciu, co ku wabeu.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
25 Ki woro kuwabeu yila canga, ki nagen do kwama ney dor kumereu, na dim tomange kwama.
of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me towards you to fulfil 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 mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed 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 was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery amongst 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.
We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
29 Ki dor wor ma nangenti mi yokten bi kwanti ki bikwan cero wo managen ti minen ki bi kwaneu.
for which I also labour, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
