Colossians 1

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

PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu the Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and the brother Timotheos,

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 those who are in Kulosos, the holy brethren and believers in Jeshu Meshiha: peace be with you, and grace from Aloha our Father.

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

We give thanks to Aloha the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in all time, and pray on your behalf,

4 Kiwo njanjinbi nimi Kristi Yesu ni ngyeme iwandi bi heniwu niwandi nitumbi bahe hwahwere ni Irji.

even from our hearing of your faith in Jeshu Meshiha, and of your love to all the saints;

5 Biheni iwayi nitu ngyiri u njaji nitu ikpewandi batizi niyiwu nishulu. biwo yanko nikponji tre u jaji blatrerji.

for the hope which is kept for you in heaven, which at the first you heard through the word of the truth of 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 preached to you, as also to all the world, and increaseth and giveth fruits, as also in you from the day that you heard, and knew the grace of Aloha 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.

as you learned from Epaphra our beloved companion, who is himself for you a faithful minister of the Meshiha,

8 Abafaras a watre nyebenbi nimyimre.

and who hath made known to us your love, which is 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.

ON account of this also we, from the day that we heard, have not ceased to pray for you, and to supplicate that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of Aloha in all wisdom and in all spiritual understanding,

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

and may walk according to that which is just, and may please Aloha in all good works, and may yield fruit, and increase in the knowledge of Aloha;

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

and in all power be empowered according to the greatness of his glory in all patience and prolongedness of spirit:

12 Kibrerji bingyiri ni kinkla sronitimbu iwandi ahenishu atinko iwandi bi fe isanbi 'u' gado nimyibiwandi baheni srondidi ni myikpa.

and with joy may give thanks to Aloha the Father, who hath fitted us for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light,

13 Arutakpani ngbengble bwu yeni jiji vrema.

and hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

14 Nitu jijivrema anikarji nawuruhlatrenbu hlega ni'atawu.

in whom we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins:

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

who is the image of Aloha the unseen, and the first-born of all the creatures.

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

And by him was every thing created that is in heaven and in earth; all that is seen, and all that is unseen, whether thrones or dominions, or princes or powers; all things by his hand and through him were created;

17 Ni kosa nibi ngbengble ati kongye chudu.

and he is before all, and every thing by him subsisteth.

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 of the church, (he) who is the chief and first-born from among the dead, that he should be preeminent in all.

19 Don irji aheni kinklansoro nitu Ibrama a shuninema.

For in him (the Father) hath willed all fulness 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 by him to reconcile all things to himself, and to make peace through the blood of his cross, (even) by him, whether they be inhabitants in earth or in heaven.

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

YOU also, who before were aliens and adversaries in your minds by your evil works,

22 Abayaziza'a na karji niyi'u nitu kyuma ukpa. atitoyi nami son kayinibiandi baheni kinklasro'a biandi bana heni kpeandi batreni tumba mememana.

hath he reconciled now in the body of his flesh and through his death, to constitute you saints before him without spot and without blame;

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 you continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and be not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, and which is proclaimed to every creature who is under heaven, of which I, Paulos, am made a minister.

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

I rejoice in the sufferings which are on your account, and fulfil the void of the afflictions of the Meshiha in my flesh for the sake of his body,

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

which is the church; of which I am made a minister according to the dispensation of Aloha, which was given to me for you, to accomplish the word of Aloha;

26 Iwayi'i he gbugblu unjanji iwandi a kuri ise ni se haryeluwa. ziza'a bahla'u kpekesheme nibiandi bangye me niwu. (aiōn g165)

that mystery which was hidden from ages and generations, but now hath been revealed unto his saints. (aiōn g165)

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

To whom Aloha hath willed to make known what is the opulence of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is, The Meshiha, who in you (is) 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 proclaim, and (concerning whom) we teach and inform every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Jeshu Meshiha;

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

for which also I labour and contend, according to the help of the power which is given to me.
