Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy the brother,
Paulo, Intumwa ya Yesu Kristo mu kwenda kwa Nyamuanga, na Timotheo owasu,
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 bhekilisha na bhasu abheikanyibhwa mu Kristo bhanu bhali Kolosai. Echigongo chibhe kwemwe, no mulembe okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe.
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying about you,
Echisosha isime ku Nyamuanga, Lata wa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo, na echibhasabhila kwiya kafu.
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love toward all the sanctified,
Chonguywe elikilisha lyemwe mu Yesu Kristo no kwenda kunu mulinakwo ku bhaliya bhona bhanu bhauywe ingulu ya Nyamuanga.
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
Muli no kwenda kunu kulwo kwiikanya kwe chimali kunu mwabhikiywe Mulwile ingulu yemwe. Mwonguywe ingulu yo kwiikanya okwo okwe chimali guchali mu musango gwo kumasha, omusango gwo bhwana,
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.
gunu gwijile kwemwe. Omusango gwo bhwana gunu gwibhuye litwasho na kuswila Chalo chona. One eikola kutya mwiimwe okusokelela ku lusiku lunu mwonguywe no kwiingila okulubhana ne chigongo cha Nyamuanga mu kumasha.
7 Just as also ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow bondman, who is a faithful helper of the Christ for you,
Gunu nigwo omusango gwo bhwana gunu mweigiye okusoka ku Epafra, omwendwa weswe omukosi wejasu, unu ali mukosi mwiikanyibhwa wa Kristo kulweswe.
8 the man who also made clear to us your love in spirit.
Epafra agukolele gumenyekane kweswe okwenda kwemwe mu Mwoyo.
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.
Kunsonga yo kwenda kunu, okusokelela ku lusiku lunu chonguywe kutya, chichali kusinga kubhasabhila. Echibhalikisho ati mwijusibhwe obhwenge bhwo kwenda kwaye mu bhwengeso bhwona no bhumenyi bhwe chinyamwoyo.
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,
Echisabhwa ati mulibhatile mu bhwiikanyibhwa obhwa Latabhugenyi mu ngendo ejo jikondelesishe. Echisabhwa ati omwibhula litwasho mu bhuli chikolwa che kisi na ati omukula mu bhumenyi bhwa Nyamuanga.
11 being strengthened in every ability, according to the dominion of his glory, for all perseverance and longsuffering with joy.
Echisabhwa ati mutule okutendwa amanaga mu bhuli bhutulo okulubhana na managa ya likusho lyaye mu kwigumilisha na mu kwikomesha Leona.
12 Giving thanks to the Father who made us qualified for the share of the portion of the sanctified in light.
Echisabhwa ati, mu kukondelwa, omusosha isime ku Lata, unu abhakola emwe mutule okubha ebhala mu kulya omwandu gwa bhekilisha mu bhwelu.
13 Who rescued us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
Achikisishe okusoka mu bhuteile bhwe chisute no kuchifululila mu bhukama bhwo Mwana waye omwendwa.
14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
Mu Mwana waye chili no kwelesha, unu ali musasisi we bhibhibhi.
15 who is an image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Omwana ni chijejekanyo cha Nyamuanga unu atakubhonekana. Ni wo bhubhele mu bhumogi bhwona.
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.
Kulwo kubha ku mwene ebhinu bhyona bhyayangilwe, bhilya bhinu bhili mu lwile na bhinu bhilimo mu chalo, bhinu ebhibhonekana na bhinu bhitakubhonekana. Bhikabha ni bhya chikama amwi bhya bhutulo amwi bhya bhutungi amwi ebhya managa, ebhinu bhyona bhiyangilwe no mwene na ingulu yaye.
17 And he is before all, and in him all things hold together.
omwene niwe atangatiye ebhinu bhyona, na mu mwene bhinu bhyona bhigwatene amwi.
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.
No mwene niwe mutwe gwo mubhili niyo ikanisa, mwenene niwe obhwambilo no mwibhulwa wo bhubhele okusoka mu bhafuye, kwibhyo, ana omwanya gwo kwamba agati ye bhinu bhyona.
19 Because in him it was considered good for all the fullness to dwell,
Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga akondeleywe ati okukumila kwaye nukwikala mu mwene,
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.
no kugwatanya ebhinu bhyona kwaye ku mwene mu njila yo mwana waye. Nyamuanga akolele omulembe okulabha mu nsagama yo musalabha gwaye. Nyamuanga agwatanyisishe ebhinu bhyona mu mwenene, alabha ni bhinu bhya mu chalo amwi bhinu bhya Mulwile.
21 And you, being formerly alienated and hostile in mind, in works, in things evil. But now he has reconciled
Emwe one, mu mwanya gumwi kwaliga muli bhagenyi ku Nyamuanga na mwaliga muli bhasoko bhaye mu bhwenge na mu bhikolwa bhibhibhi.
22 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblemished and unblameable before him.
Mbe nawe woli abhagwatanyishe emwe kwo mubhili gwaye okulabha ku lufu. Akolele kutya koleleki abhalete emwe abhwelu, bhanu mutane-solo nolwo kakojole kona imbele yaye,
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.
mbe mukagendelela mu likilisha, lwa kutyo mwalumatanyibhwe ni mukomela, nolwo obhutasosibhwao no kusilwa kula mu kusoka mu liikanya lyo bhubhasi elyo musango gwo bhwana gunu mwonguywe. Gunu nigwo omusango gwo bhwana gunu gwalasibhwe ku bhuli munu unu ayangilwe emwalo yo lwile. Gunu nigwo omusango gwo bhwana gunu kugwo anye, Paulo, mwabhee mukosi.
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.
Woli enikondelelwa jinyako Jani kulwa ingulu yemwe. Nanye enikumisha mu mubhili gwani chinu chinkeyeye kulwa jinyako ja Kristo kulwa ingulu yo mubhili gwaye, gunu guli Kanisa.
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,
Anye nili mukosi wa likanisa linu, kisi-kisi no bhukosi bhunu nayanilwe okusoka ku Nyamuanga kulwa ingulu yemwe, okwijusha omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
26 the mystery that was hidden from the ages and from the generations, but has now been made known to his sanctified. (aiōn g165)
Chinu nicho echimali cha imbisike inu yaliga iselekelwe mu miyaka myafu na ku maimbo gona. Mbe nawe woli yasuluywe ku bhona bhanu abhekilisha mu mwene. (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.
Ni ku bhaliya bhanu Nyamuanga aga endele okusulula kutyo bhuli obhunibhi bhwa likusho elya imbisike ye chimali inu agati ya Maanga. Ni ati Kristo abhalimo emwe, obhubhasi bhwa likusho linu elija.
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.
Unu niwe echimulasha. Nichibhekengya bhuli munu, no kumwiigisha bhuli munu kwo bhwengeso bhwona, koleleki ati chimulete bhuli munu akumiye mu Kristo.
29 For which also I labor, striving according to his working, which works in me with power.
Ingulu ya ganu, anye enikomesha no kwilwanilila okulubhana na managa gaye ganu agakola emilimu munda yani mu bhutulo.
