Colossians 1
1 Manzo Kristi yesu, ni nyme irji mba Timoti vayinbu.
PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy a brother,
2 Hi ni bi tsatra ndi Irji, wandi ba to kponji tre ni miri vayinbu biwandi ki bimba nimi Kristi biwa ba heni Kolosi. Du sisron ni kinklasron ni mi Irji nitimbu shu yiwu.
to the saints at Colosse, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Kisi ngiri ni Irji itimbu mba ti Baci mbu Kristi. konita kibre Irjhi nitumbi chachu.
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
4 Kiwo njanjinbi nimi Kristi Yesu ni ngyeme iwandi bi heniwu niwandi nitumbi bahe hwahwere ni Irji.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love ye show to all the saints;
5 Biheni iwayi nitu ngyiri u njaji nitu ikpewandi batizi niyiwu nishulu. biwo yanko nikponji tre u jaji blatrerji.
because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, which ye have heard before in the word of truth, the gospel,
6 Iwandi niyimu, tre irji, ningrji mirti na kpobi nigbunglua kigon. ani titombane myimbi Irji niviwandi bi wou' nitindum'u' ni malatiiwandi Irji ujanji.
which is come unto you, as it is also unto all the world; and beareth fruit, as also among you, from the day that ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
7 Itre irji hibiwandi kiwoni Abafaras, ikpa wandi kinyebeu, ahi kpanbu ubre, ahi jiji kpanbu iwandi kinyebe niwu'a. wawuyi ni kirli nikoshishi Almasihu natre ninyumbu.
even as ye have learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-labourer, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you;
8 Abafaras a watre nyebenbi nimyimre.
who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 Rjinise tunturmu niviwandi kiwotokima, kikukri nibrerji gbangbanme. Kisi kukrli nibre ninduyi to kpekpeme nikpawandi asirimrenituma nimyitoma mrema ni myi tre Rji ni sisriji.
For this cause we also from the day we heard it have not ceased praying for you, and beseeching God that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 Kisibrerji ninduyi zre ezrewandi irjimiheni kinkla sro'a na ngyemeniyi kibrerjiindu bingirji midi ninko ndu dindi biwlude nimyi trerji
that ye may walk worthy of the Lord, well pleasing him in all things, in every good work fruitful, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Ki brerji ungwroyi nimiyi kpe wandi bitoti'u nitu ngbegle kwungbarju ni vusro ni gblestro.
strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;
12 Kibrerji bingyiri ni kinkla sronitimbu iwandi ahenishu atinko iwandi bi fe isanbi 'u' gado nimyibiwandi baheni srondidi ni myikpa.
giving thanks to God, even the Father, who hath made us meet for a portion in the inheritance of the saints in light;
13 Arutakpani ngbengble bwu yeni jiji vrema.
who hath plucked us out from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love:
14 Nitu jijivrema anikarji nawuruhlatrenbu hlega ni'atawu.
in whom we have redemption through his blood, and forgiveness of sins.
15 wa wui Ivrerji umumla ni gbugluimpempeme kongye aheni kogonma nindidi niwandi anahi dindimana.
Who is the image of the invisible God, the prime author of all creation:
16 Nintuma Irji ati kpibiadi baheshu nibiandi baheni ngbunglu biandi kitoba nibiandi kina tobana ni dindima niwandi ana dindimana.
for by him were all things created, celestial and terrestrial, visible or invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers, all were created by him, and for him:
17 Ni kosa nibi ngbengble ati kongye chudu.
and he is before all, and by him all things subsist.
18 Ngarli wawu'i hitunza utrarji. ngarli wawu'i hi ri nimyi mumla iwandi akyu na wlundemiyibe, nitukima aheni bubumumla ni kongye.
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, that he might be in all things pre-eminent.
19 Don irji aheni kinklansoro nitu Ibrama a shuninema.
For it hath pleased the Father that in him all fulness should dwell;
20 Ngarli akarji ni kongye kmahini wawunitu vuvre. irji aji kukla sorn ye nituyi ma iwandi akahlega. irji'a karji kbahini kpama, nikpwiwandi baheni gbuglu nikpi biwandi waheni shulu.
and by him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace by the blood of his cross: by him, I say, whether they be things on earth, or things in the heavens.
21 Tunisen bina bitsri nirji, bina kanbiniwu harmyisorombi, binabiandi bitali memekpi'a.
And you who in time past were all aliens, and enemies in mind by wicked works, hath he now reconciled,
22 Abayaziza'a na karji niyi'u nitu kyuma ukpa. atitoyi nami son kayinibiandi baheni kinklasro'a biandi bana heni kpeandi batreni tumba mememana.
by the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreprehensible in his presence:
23 Idanbimlazre nimyi kinkla sroa'a nikukrli ngbangba, binabi kmayagon nimyi yankon niningyiri nitrerjiandi bizi wou. Iwayi hetrerji wandi kowanrji iwandi Irji tiu niza shulu. iwayi hitre Rji iwandi ime Bulus mihgranituma
if ye abide in faith grounded and firm, and never moved aside from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached to the whole creation which is under heaven, of which I Paul am a minister.
24 Ziza'a mingyri nitu ya'a wandi misha nitumbi'a nimyi mitikpewandu a don almasihu uwyama nitu kpamawandi wawuyi hetutrerji'a.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh the measure of afflictions for Christ which remains to be endured for his body, which is the church,
25 Nitu itutrerji mikamatigra, nitu idiwandi izinendumitini tumbi, domin tinduma wawurji kle.
of which I am a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which was given me for you to fulfil the ministry of the word of God―
26 Iwayi'i he gbugblu unjanji iwandi a kuri ise ni se haryeluwa. ziza'a bahla'u kpekesheme nibiandi bangye me niwu. (aiōn g165)
the mystery which was hid from ages and from generations, but is now unveiled to his saints; (aiōn g165)
27 Nitumbayi irjison unjanjima nimyinji itsro Almasihumbani myimba, tondi ikimba siye.
to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Iwayihikpewandi kisidubu. kisi nworo inji mpepembawu kitro kungi, andu to kpewandi aheni kpa. don kimi nji ndi wandi anihurji ngbagbame'a himi ko shishi.
whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
29 Nitu nayi mitindu ni srori ni ngbengble iwandi ahemi newu ni gbengblenmu
for which also I am labouring, conflicting in the energy of his might, which worketh in me powerfully.
