Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy the brother,
uPaulo, Mutung'waa wang'wa Yesu Kristo ku ulowa nuang'wa Itunda, nu Timotheo muluna nuitu,
2 to the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
ku a huiili ni aluna ni ahuiili munng'wa Kristo niakoli ku Kolosai. Ukende utule kitalanyu, nu ulyuuku kupuma kung'wa Itunda Tata nuitu.
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying about you,
Kuupumya ulumbi kung'wa Itunda, Tata nua Mukulu itu uYesu Kristo, nu kumulompeela nkua ku nkua.
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love toward all the sanctified,
Kigulye u uhuiili nuanyu mung'wa Yesu Kristo nu ulowa ni muukete ku awo ihi nai abaguwe kunsoko ang'wa Itunda.
5 because of the hope being reserved for you in the heavens, which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the good news
Mukete u ulowa uwu kunsoko a isumbiilyo nila tai ni liikilwe kilunde kunsoko itu. Ai mijaa kutula isumbiilyo nilanso nila tai ze ikili mu lukani nula tai, Nkani ninza,
6 being present for you, just as also in all the world. And it is bearing fruit and increasing, just as also among you from the day that ye heard and recognized the grace of God in truth.
naiza luzile kitalanyu. Nkani ninza izi itugaa nkali hangi yenelaa mu unkumbigulu wihi. Yatulaa kituma iti ga mukati anyu puma luhiku nai migulye nu kimanyisa kutula ukende nuang'wa Itunda mu tai.
7 Just as also ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow bondman, who is a faithful helper of the Christ for you,
Izi zizo nkani ni nziza nai mimanyisilye kupuma kung'wa Epafra, mulowa nuitu munyamilimo miitu, naiza munyamilimo nu muhuiili nuang'wa Kristo ku badala itu.
8 the man who also made clear to us your love in spirit.
Epafra ai witumile ukumuke kitaitu u ulowa nuanyu mu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
9 Because of this we also, from the day that we heard, cease not praying for you and making request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Ku nsoko a ulowa uwu, puma uluhiku nai kigulye iti, kukili leka kumulompeela. Katuile kulompa kina mikizuligwa nu uhugu nua ulowa nuakwe mu upolo wihi nu ulingi nua nkolo.
10 For you to walk worthily of the Lord for every desire to please, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God,
Katuile kilompaa kina mikagenda mu ugimya nua Mukulu mu nzila ni izipie. Katuile kilompaa kina mikapaa nkali mu kila ntendo ninza ni kina mikatula mu uhugu nuang'wa Itunda.
11 being strengthened in every ability, according to the dominion of his glory, for all perseverance and longsuffering with joy.
Ku umulompa muhume kuikilwa i ngulu mu kila uhumi kuniganiila ni ngulu ni ikulyo nilakwe mu ugimya nu ugigimiilya wihi.
12 Giving thanks to the Father who made us qualified for the share of the portion of the sanctified in light.
Ku ulompa kina, ki iloelya, mukupumya ilumbi kung'wa Tata, nai umitumile unyenye muhume kutula ni ipatyo mu usali nua ahuiili mu welu.
13 Who rescued us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
Wakugunilee kupuma mu uhumi nua kiti nu ku uhamilya mu utemi nua ng'wana nuakwe mulowa.
14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
Mu ng'wana nuakwe kukete u uguniki, ulekelwa nua milandu.
15 who is an image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
uNg'wana ingi mpyani ang'wa Itunda ni shanga wigelaa. Ingi mulelwa nua ng'wandyo nua u umbwaa wihi.
16 Because in him all things were created, things in the heavens and things upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or lordships or principal offices or positions of authority, all things have been created through him, and for him.
Ku nsoko ku ng'waakwe intu yihi ai iumbilwe, izo ni ikoli kilunde nizo ni ikoli mihi, intu ni yigeeleka nizo ni shanga yigeeleka, anga itule ingi ya ukulu ang'wi ngulu ang'wi uhumi ang'wi anya ngulu, intu yihi ai iumbilwe nu ng'wenso ku nsoko akwe.
17 And he is before all, and in him all things hold together.
uNg'wenso izaa ukoli ze ikili i intu yihi, nu mu ng'waakwe intu yihi iambinkanile palung'wi.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might become preeminent in all things.
Nu ng'wenso yuyo itwe nila muili ingi itekeelo, nuanso ingi ng'wandyo hangi mulelwa nua ng'wandyo kupuma mukati a ashi, iti, ukete lyoma nila ng'wandyo mukati a intu yihi.
19 Because in him it was considered good for all the fullness to dwell,
Ku nsoko Itunda ai uloeeigwe kina ukaminkiili nuakwe wihi wikie mukati akwe,
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross, through him whether things upon the earth or things in the heavens.
nu kulamula i intu yihi kung'waakwe ku nzila a ng'wana nuakwe. Itunda ai witumile u ulyuuku kukiila sakami a ikota nila mpaga ni lakwe. Itunda ai ulamue i intu yihi kitalakwe mukola, anga itule ingi intu nia mihi ang'wi intu nia kilunde.
21 And you, being formerly alienated and hostile in mind, in works, in things evil. But now he has reconciled
Nu nyenye ga, ku itungo ling'wi aimatuile aziila kung'wa Itunda hangi ai matulaa mialugu akwe mu mahala ni ntendo nia ubii.
22 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblemished and unblameable before him.
Kuiti itungili wamulamue unyenye ku muili nuakwe kukiila nsha. Ai witumile iti kumuleta unyenye ni mielu, ni agila u usokigwa nangi bila kimala ntogeela akwe,
23 If ye truly continue in the faith, founded, and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the good news that ye heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a helper.
anga mulongoleke mu u huiili, nai makomigwaa nu kutula miakomo, kutili kuhegigwa kuli kupuma mi isumbiilyo nila ugimya nila nkani ninza nai muigulye. Izi zizo nkani ninza nai itanantigwe ku kila muntu nai u umbilwe pihi i ilunde. Izi zizo nkani ninza naiza ku nanso unene, Paulo, natuile ni munyamilimo.
24 I now rejoice in sufferings for you, and make complete in my flesh things lacking of the afflictions of the Christ for his body, which is the church.
Itungili niloeye u lwago nu lane ku nsoko anyu. Nu nene nakondeelya mu muil nuane ni kikepile ku ntendo niang'wa Kristo ku nsoko a muili nuakwe. naza ingi itekeelo.
25 Of which I became a helper according to the administration of God, which was given to me for you to fulfill the word of God,
Unene ingi munyamulimo nua itekeelo ili, kuniganiila nu witumi nai ninkiigwe kupuma kung'wa Itunda ku nsoko anyu, kulizulya u lukani nu lang'wa Itunda.
26 the mystery that was hidden from the ages and from the generations, but has now been made known to his sanctified. (aiōn g165)
Uwu ingi tainua ki nkunku nai watulaa upihilwe ku myaka idu nu ku ulelwa. Kuiti itungili wakunukulwa ku ihi ni ahuiie mu ng'waakwe' (aiōn g165)
27 To whom God wanted to make known what is the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Ingi ku awo naza Itunda uloilwe ku kunukula kuyili u ugoli nua ikulyo ila ki nkunku nila tai iyi mukati a Anyaingu. Ingi kina uKristo umoli mukati anyu, ugimya nua ikulyo nilizile
28 Whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
Uyu yuyo ni ku umutanantya. Ku umukania kila muntu, nu kumumanyisa kila muntu ku upolo wihi, iti kina kumulete kila muntu ukondaniie kung'wa Kristo.
29 For which also I labor, striving according to his working, which works in me with power.
Kunsoko iyi, Unene nkamatikile nu kukazana kuniganiila ni ngulu niakwe ni itumaa mulimo mukati ane mu uhumi
