Ŵakolosai 1
1 Une che Paolo, Nduna jwa Kilisito Yesu kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu ndili ni mpwanga jwetu che Timoseo,
Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Timothy,
2 tukunnembela ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵankutama ku Kolosai, achinjetu ŵakukulupilichika mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito. Tukumpopelela umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu.
to the saints who are in Colossae and the faithful brethren in Christ. Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
3 Moŵa gose patukumpopelela ŵanyamwe, tukwatogolela Akunnungu, Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
We give thanks to God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
4 Pakuŵa tupilikene inkuti pakwakulupilila Kilisito Yesu ni inkuti pakwanonyela ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the divine love which you have toward all the saints.
5 Chikulupi chenu ni unonyelo wenu ikukulupilila chilolelo chammichile chile kwinani. Mwapilikene kaandanda nkati chilolelo cho, katema pamwalalichilwe Ngani Jambone ja usyene.
on account of the hope which awaits you in the heavens, which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
6 Ngani Jambone jo jannyichilile ŵanyamwe ni kwenela mu chilambo chose ni kumpelechela umbone, ni kukula mpela ijitite kula pasikati jenu chitandile lyele lyuŵa pamwapilikene ni kuumanyilila umbone wa Akunnungu wautite kuŵa.
having come to you, as it is indeed in the whole world bearing fruit and increasing, as also among you, from the day on which you heard and have known the grace of God in truth;
7 Che Epafula kapolo njetu jwakunonyelwa, jwelejo ni juŵanjigenye ŵanyamwe jele ngani jo. Jwelejo ali jwakutumichila jwakukulupilichika jwa Kilisito pamalo petu kwa ligongo lyenu.
as you have learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is the faithful minister of Christ your behalf,
8 Jwelejo ni jwatusalile ngani ja unonyelo wenu umpegwilwe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
who also having revealed to us your divine love in the Spirit.
9 Kwa ligongo li nowe ŵakwe chitandilile lyuŵa litwapilikene nkati ŵanyamwe, ngatukuleka kumpopelela. Tukwachondelela Akunnungu antende mmanyilile aila yakwisaka mpanganye mu lunda lose ni umanyilisi wose umpegwilwe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
Therefore we, from the day on which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the perfect knowledge of his will in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding,
10 Tukupopelela yeleyi kuti nkombole kutama mpela yakuti pakusaka Ambuje, njendelechele kupanganya yaikwanonyela ŵelewo moŵa gose. Kwa litala lyo chinkombole kupanganya masengo gagali gose gambone ni kupunda kwamanyilila Akunnungu.
that you may walk worthily of the Lord in all loyalty, in every good work bearing fruit, and increasing in the perfect knowledge of God.
11 Akunnungu amlimbisye kwa litala lya ukombole wose ni ukulu wao, kuti nkombole kupililila indu yose pangapela,
being impowered with all power, according to the might of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy;
12 ni kwakusengwa mwatogolele Atati, ŵantesile ŵakuŵajilwa kupochela indu yose iŵagosele ŵandu ŵakwe mu umwenye wa lilanguka.
giving thanks to the Father, who has made us worthy unto a participation of the inheritance of the saints in light;
13 Pakuŵa ŵelewo atukulupwisye kutyochela mmachili ga chipi ni kutujinjisya mu umwenye wa Mwanagwe jwakunnonyela.
who delivered us from the power of darkness, and transplanted us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 Kwa litala lya jwelejo tuwombolechekwe ni kulecheleswa sambi syetu.
in whom we have redemption, the remission of sins:
15 Kilisito akulandana kwa usyene ni Akunnungu ŵangakuwoneka. Jwelejo ŵapali ikanaŵe yepanganyikwe yose kugumbikwa.
who is the image of the invisible God, being the first begotten of all creation,
16 Pakuŵa kwa litala lya jwelejo, Akunnungu ŵaigumbile indu yose ya kwinani ni indu yose ya pachilambo ni yaikuwoneka ni yangaikuwoneka pamo ni ŵaali ni machili pane achakulu pane ilongola pane ŵaali ni ulamusi. Akunnungu ŵaigumbile indu yose kwa litala lyakwe ni kwa liwamba lyakwe.
because in him all things are created, in the heavens and upon the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All things were created by him, and unto him;
17 Kilisito ŵapali ikanaŵe indu yose kugumbikwa ni kwakulumbikana ni ŵelewo indu yose ilumbikene pamo.
and he before all things, and all things consist in him:
18 Kilisito ali ntwe wa chiilu chakwe ni chiilu cho chili mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, nombejo ali ndande ja umi wa chiilu cho nombe ali ndande. Jwelejo ali jwaandanda kusyuka kuti aŵe jwaandanda mu indu yose.
and himself is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, in order that in all things himself may be preeminent:
19 Pakuŵa yanonyelesye Akunnungu asyene kuti utindimisyo wakwe wose uŵe mu nkati mwa Kilisito.
because in him all fulness is pleased to dwell;
20 Akunnungu ŵaijilenye indu yose kwa litala lya Kilisito, ni kwa miasi jakwe jijamwasiche pa nsalaba jatesile chitendewele ni indu yose yaili pachilambo ni kwinani.
and through him, to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross: through him, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.
21 Ni ŵanyamwe kalakala mwaliji ntalikangene ni Akunnungu, nombe mwaliji ŵammagongo ŵao pakuŵa mwaganisisye yachigongomalo ni mwatesile yachigongomalo.
And you, being at one time aliens and enemies in your minds on account of wicked works, nevertheless he has now reconciled
22 Nambo sambano, Akunnungu ŵantesile mwanya mme achambusangagwe kwa litala lya chiwa cha chiilu cha Kilisito kuti anjausye paujo pao akuno ndi ŵaswela, ŵangali sambi namose chileŵo.
in the body of his cross through death, to present you holy and blameless and unreprovable before him,
23 Nambo ŵanyamwe nkusachilwa kwendelechela kutama mu chikulupi, namose nkakunda kutinganyikwa ni kusaama mu chilolelo chila chimwachipatile katema pamwapilikene Ngani Jambone. Une che Paolo natendekwe kuŵa jwakutumichila jwa Ngani Jambone jila jijalalichile kwa ŵandu wose pachilambo pose.
if you abide in the faith, having been grounded and firm, and not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, having been preached in all creation which is under heaven; whose minister I Paul became.
24 Sambano ngusengwa kwa masausyo gangupata kwa ligongo lyenu. Kwa litala lya kulaga kwangu kwa chiilu, ngugumbalichisya aila yaipungwiche mu kulaga kwa chiilu cha Kilisito, yaani mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
Now I rejoice in sufferings in your behalf, and am filling up the residue of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh in behalf of his body, which is the church;
25 Ni une natendekwe ni Akunnungu kuŵa katumetume jwa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Masengo gasyene gali, kulalichila Liloŵe lyao kwa utindimisyo,
whose minister I became, according to the economy of God which was given to me unto you, to fulfill the word of God,
26 ni liloŵe lyo lili chantemela chichasisiche kwa ŵandu wose chitandile kalakala, nambo sambano chimanyichikwe kwa ŵandu ŵakwe. (aiōn g165)
the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from the generations: but is now made manifest to his saints, (aiōn g165)
27 Pakuŵa Akunnungu asachile kwamanyisya ŵandu chantemela cho yachitite pakuŵa chachikulungwa ni cha ukulu chichajenele kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi wose. Chantemela cho chili achi, Kilisito ali nkati mwenu, ni ŵanyamwe wakwe chinkole liunjili lya ukulu wa Akunnungu.
to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Kwa ligongo lyo, tukunlalichila Kilisito kwa ŵandu wose. Tukunjamuka ni kunjiganya kila mundu kwa lunda lose, kuti tukombole kunnyikanawo kila mundu paujo pa Akunnungu ali jwautindimisyo mu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito.
whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man perfect in Christ;
29 Kuti ndende yeleyo ngupanganya masengo ni kuchalila kwa machili gamakulungwa ga Kilisito gagakupanganya masengo nkati mwangu.
unto which I also labor, agonizing according to his energy, working in me with power.
