Colossians 1
1 I Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, I and Timothy my brother,
Jene bhaluwa jino kujikopoka kwangu nne a Pauli ntume na apwetu a Timoteo. Njishemwa na a Nnungu kwa pinga kwabho kubha ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
2 to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ that are in Colosse: grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Tunakunjandishilanga mmandunji bha ukonjelo nninginji ku Koloshai, mmakulupalikanga nnundenenje na a Kilishitu. Nema na ulele ibhakutupa a Atati a Nnungu, ibhe na mmanganyanji.
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Kila putukunnjujilanga, tunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, Aina bhabho Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
4 since we heard of your faithfulness in Christ Jesus, and your love for all the saints,
Pabha tushipilikana ngani ja ngulupai yenunji nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu, na nkwaapinganga bhandu bhowe bha ukonjelo.
5 in consequence of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
Kwa ligongo lya ngulupalilo ya indu immishilwenje kunnungu, numbe ngani jakwe mwapilikenenje bhukala kwa lilobhe lya kweli limwalungushiwenje, yani, Ngani ja Mmbone.
6 which is present among you, as it is also in all the world, and is producing fruit, even as it has been doing also among you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
Ngani ja Mmbone jinapunda peleshela mboka na shuma pashilambolyo, malinga shiili kunngwenunji kutandubhila lyubha limwapilikenenje na kujimanya nema ja a Nnungu shijili ja kweli.
7 as you learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ for you,
Malinga shinnjigenywenje ga nema ja a Nnungu na a Epapula, bhatumishi ajetu bha a Kilishitu bhaakulupalika, kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji.
8 and who also made known to us your love in spirit.
Bhenebho bhatubhalanjile ga pinga kwenunji kumpatilenje naka Mbumu.
9 For this reason, we also, from the day in which we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to request that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, numbe uwe tukapilikaneje tukaaleka kunnjujilanga kwa a Nnungu, nkupinga bhampanganje lunda na lumanyio lwa muntima.
10 so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, in order to please him in all things, by means of every good work bringing forth fruit, and increasing in the knowledge, of God,
Penepo shinkombolanje tama malinga shibhapinga Bhakulungwa a Nnungu, nitenda yowe ikwaanonyela, ndamo jenunji shijipunde peleshela mboka ya kila namuna kwa itendi ya mmbone na shimpundanje kwaamanya a Nnungu.
11 strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, in order to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness,
A Nnungu bhampanganje mashili kwa kombola kwabho kwa ukonjelo, nkupinga mwiipilililanje kwa kila shindu na kwiiluma na angalala.
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Mwaatendelanje eja Atati a Nnungu, bhantendilenje nkombolanje poshela miadi ja indu ibhaabhishilenje bhandunji bha ukonjelo, muupalume gwabho gwa shilangaya.
13 who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
Na bhenebho bhashinkututapula mmashili ga lubhindu, nikutushoya na kutujinjiya muupalume uka mwana gwabho jubhakumpinga.
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;
Kwa bhenebho tunagombolwa, nileshelelwa yambi yetu.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature;
Na a Kilishitu ni shilanda shibhoneka, sha a Nnungu bhakaabhoneka, nantando jwa indu yowe ipengenywe.
16 for by him were all things created, things in heaven and things in earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities; all things were created by him, and for him:
Pabha indu yowe ishipanganywa kupitila Bhenebho, kila shindu sha kunnungu na sha pa shilambolyo, indu ibhoneka na ikaabhoneka, ibhaga ashinanndenga, na majini na ashimaoka bhowe. Yowe puipengenywe na Bhenebho na kwa ligongo lyabho.
17 and he is before all things, and by him all things consist:
Bhenebho bhaapali indu yowe ikanabhe pagwa, yowe inatama ukoto kwa lundana na bhenebho.
18 and he is the head of the body, the church: and he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things he might be preeminent;
Bhenebho ni akalongolele bha likanisha, malinga ntwe shiukuti longolela shiilu, numbe bhenebho ni shiumilo sha gumi gwa shene shiilusho. Bhenebho ni nantando bha gumi, bhantai kuyuka bhakaweje, nkupinga bhabhe bha ntai kwa indu yowe.
19 for it pleased the Father that all his fullness should dwell in him,
Pabha a Nnungu bhashipinga kutimilila kwabho kowe kutame mubhanabhabho a Yeshu.
20 and by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; by him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
Na kwa bhana bhabho, a Nnungu bhayene bhashilundanywa na indu yowe, kwa shiwo sha a Yeshu munshalabha, a Nnungu gubhatendile ulele na indu yowe, ibhe ya pa shilambolyo eu ya kunnungu.
21 And you, who were formerly alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled
Mmanganyanji bhukala mwashinkutalikangana na a Nnungu nibha magongo, kwa ligongo lya ng'aniyo yenunji na itendi yenunji ya nyata.
22 by means of death in his fleshly body, that he may present you holy, and without spot, and blameless in his sight;
Ikabheje nnaino, kwa shiwo shika mwana gwabho atemi pa shilambolyo pano, a Nnungu bhashikunnundanyanga, nkupinga bhammikanje pamo na bhenebho, nninginji bha ukonjelo na bhammbonenji na wala sha gambwa,
23 if you continue in the faith, founded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, have been made a minister.
ikabheje nnapinjikwanga kwiishimilika ukoto nngulupai, wala nnakundanje kutendebhuywa nikunshoyanga nngulupai impatilenje pumwapilikenenje Ngani ja Mmbone. Nne a Pauli ni ntumishi jwa jene Ngani ja Mmbone, jilungwiywe pa shilambolyojo.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up what remains of my sufferings for Christ in my flesh for the sake of his body, which is the church,
Nnaino ngunaangalila kupotekwa kwangu kwa ligongo lyenunji, pabha ngunagumbashiya pashiilu shangu indu itubhile mmboteko ya a Kilishitu kwa ligongo lya likanisha, lili shiilu shabho.
25 of which I was made a minister according to the commission from God, which was given to me for you, that I might fully preach the word of God,
Nne njibha ntumishi jwa likanisha malinga shibhapanjle a Nnungu kumba, kwa pwaida jenunji. Nunguye lilobhe lyabho gwangali leka shindu,
26 the mystery which was concealed from the ages and the generations, but is now made manifest to his saints, (aiōn g165)
indu ya nng'iyo ibhaishiywenje bhandu bhowe kuumila bhukala, ikabheje nnaino bhashikwaibhulilanga bhandunji bhabho bha ukonjelo. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God would make known what is the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,
A Nnungu bhashinkupinga kwaibhulilanga bhanganyabho ga ukonjelo nkulu gwa gwene nng'iyogo, kubhandunji bhalinginji nngabha Bhayaudi. Nng'iyo gwene ni a Kilishitu, bhali mmitima jenunji. Na lyenelyo linalangula kuti shinkundikanywanje muukonjelo gwa a Nnungu.
28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, tunakwalunguya a Kilishitu kubhandu bhowe, kwaaleyanga na kwaajiganyanga bhandu bhowe kwa lunda lowe, nkupinga tunnjiyenajo kila mundu kwa a Nnungu ali aishimilishe nkulundana na a Kilishitu.
29 to which end I also labor, striving according to his energy, which works in me mightily.
Kwa ligongo lyolyo, nne ngunalajilila tenda liengo, kwa mashili gungupegwa na a Kilishitu gakamula liengo muntima gwangu.
