Colossians 1

1 Manzo Kristi yesu, ni nyme irji mba Timoti vayinbu.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy my 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.

Unto the holy and faithful brethren in Christ that are, in Colosse, favour unto you, and peace, from our God and Father.

3 Kisi ngiri ni Irji itimbu mba ti Baci mbu Kristi. konita kibre Irjhi nitumbi chachu.

We are giving thanks unto God, the Father of our Lord Jesus [Christ], always, for you, offering prayer, —

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 of the love which ye have unto 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 that is lying by for you in the heavens, of which ye heard before, in the word of the truth of the glad-message,

6 Iwandi niyimu, tre irji, ningrji mirti na kpobi nigbunglua kigon. ani titombane myimbi Irji niviwandi bi wou' nitindum'u' ni malatiiwandi Irji ujanji.

When it presented itself unto you; even as, in all the world also, it is bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day when ye heard, and came personally to know the favour 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 learned [it] from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is faithful in our behalf, as a minister of the Christ,

8 Abafaras a watre nyebenbi nimyimre.

Who also hath made evident unto us your love in 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 when we heard [of you], cease not, in your behalf, praying and asking—that ye may be filled unto the personal knowledge of his will, in all spiritual wisdom and discernment,

10 Kisibrerji ninduyi zre ezrewandi irjimiheni kinkla sro'a na ngyemeniyi kibrerjiindu bingirji midi ninko ndu dindi biwlude nimyi trerji

So as to walk worthily of the Lord, unto all pleasing, in every good work, bearing fruit, and growing in the personal knowledge of God,

11 Ki brerji ungwroyi nimiyi kpe wandi bitoti'u nitu ngbegle kwungbarju ni vusro ni gblestro.

With all power, being empowered, according to the grasp of his glory, unto all endurance 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 unto the Father that hath made you sufficient for your share in the inheritance of the saints in the light,

13 Arutakpani ngbengble bwu yeni jiji vrema.

Who hath rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

14 Nitu jijivrema anikarji nawuruhlatrenbu hlega ni'atawu.

In whom, we have our redemption—the remission of our sins, —

15 wa wui Ivrerji umumla ni gbugluimpempeme kongye aheni kogonma nindidi niwandi anahi dindimana.

Who, is an image of the unseen God, Firstborn of all creation, —

16 Nintuma Irji ati kpibiadi baheshu nibiandi baheni ngbunglu biandi kitoba nibiandi kina tobana ni dindima niwandi ana dindimana.

Because, in him, were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the things seen and the things unseen, whether thrones or lordships or principalities or authorities, —they all, through him and for him, have been created,

17 Ni kosa nibi ngbengble ati kongye chudu.

And, he, is before all, and, they all, in him, hold together;

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 assembly, Who is the beginning, Firstborn from among the dead, in order that, he, might become, in all things, himself, pre-eminent; —

19 Don irji aheni kinklansoro nitu Ibrama a shuninema.

Because, in him, was all the fullness well pleased to 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, through him, fully to reconcile all things unto him, making peace through the blood of his cross, —[through him]—whether the things upon the earth or the things in the heavens;

21 Tunisen bina bitsri nirji, bina kanbiniwu harmyisorombi, binabiandi bitali memekpi'a.

And, you, who at one time were estranged and enemies in your mind in your wicked works, yet, now, hath he fully 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.

In his body of flesh, through means of his death, to present you holy and blameless and unaccusable before him, —

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, at least, ye are abiding still in the faith, founded and firm, and not to be moved away from the hope of the glad-message which ye have heard, which hath been proclaimed in all creation which is under heaven, —of which, I Paul, have become minister.

24 Ziza'a mingyri nitu ya'a wandi misha nitumbi'a nimyi mitikpewandu a don almasihu uwyama nitu kpamawandi wawuyi hetutrerji'a.

Now, am I rejoicing in the sufferings on your behalf, and am filling up the things that lack of the tribulations of the Christ, in my flesh, in behalf of his body, which is the assembly,

25 Nitu itutrerji mikamatigra, nitu idiwandi izinendumitini tumbi, domin tinduma wawurji kle.

Of which, I, have become minister—according to the administration of God which hath been given unto me to you-ward, to fill up 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 sacred secret which had been hidden away from the ages and from the generations, but, now, hath been made manifest unto his saints— (aiōn g165)

27 Nitumbayi irjison unjanjima nimyinji itsro Almasihumbani myimba, tondi ikimba siye.

Unto whom God hath been pleased to make known what is the glorious wealth of this sacred secret among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of the 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 are declaring, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man complete in Christ;

29 Nitu nayi mitindu ni srori ni ngbengble iwandi ahemi newu ni gbengblenmu

Unto which I am even toiling, contending according to his energy which is energising itself in me with power.
