5 the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel
Muyele ni luganu obho kwa ndabha j'ha litaraja lya bhuhakika lyalibhekibhu kunani kwa ndabha j'ha mwenga. Mwap'heliki kuhusu litaraja e'lu lyabhuhakika kabla j'ha lineno lya bhukweli, injili,
6 that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.
ambaho j'haj'hididili kwa mwenga. Injili ej'he j'hihogola litunda na liyenela pakisu poha. ij'hele j'hik'heta naha mugati mwah mwenga piano kuliomela ligono mp'heliki ni kumanyila kuhusu neema j'ha k'yara mubhu kuweli.
7 You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
E'jhe ndo injili j'ha mumanyili kuh'oma kwa Epafra n'ganwa ghwitu ntumwili njitu, ambajhe ndo n'tumishi n'kweli ghwa kiristu kwa ndabha j'ha twenga.
8 and who also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
Epafra auk'hetili umenyikanayi kwa tete luganu lwa mwenga mu Roho.
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Kwa ndabha j'ha luganu o'lo, kuliomela ligono lyatup'eleghe naha, tulekili lepi kubha j'ohomela. Tujhele twis'oma kuj'ha mbeta kumemesibhiwa ni bhuj'huzi bhuwa mapenzi ghake muhekima yioha ni bhumanyanu bhwa Roho.
10 so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
Tujhele twis'oma kuj'ha mbeta kugenda kwa j'hilondeka kwa Bwana much NJ'hela syasilondeka. Tuyele twisoma kuj'ha mmbeta kuhogola litunda mu kila lihengu linofu nikuj'ha mbeta kuj'ha mu maarifa gha K'yara.
11 being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully
Twisoma mbwesiyayi kusopibhiwa ng'ofu mu kila bhuwezo kulengana ni ng'hofusya bhutukufu bhwake mu bhuvumilivu ni bhwabhwisindamalu bhwoha.
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.
Twis'oma kuj'ha, kwa kuhobhoka, m'beta kuh'omesya kabhombesitu kwa dadi, yeabhakhetili mwenga muyelayi ni sehemu mu urithi bhwa bhaumini mu nuru.
13 He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,
Atuokwili kulioma much bhutawala bhwa ngisi nikutusamisya much bhufalme bhwa mwana munu n'ganwa.
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Mwa mwana munu tuyele ni bhukombozi msamaha bhwa dhambi.
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Muana ndo mfuano bhwa K`yara yaibela kubhonekana. Ndo ghwa kuanza kuhogoleka au bhuumbaji bhuoha.
16 For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
kwa kuj'ha kwa muene fenu fyoha fya bho mbiki, f'hela fya fiye kumbinguni ni fya fiyela paduniani, f'hemu fyafibhonekana ni fyafibela kubhonekana. Ikayela ifya enzi au mamlaka au bhutawala au bhwabhuye ni nghofu, f'hemu fyoha fyabhombibhu ni muene kwa ndabha j'ha muene.
17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
Muene aj'hele kabula j'ha f'hemu fyoha, ni kuj'ha kwa muene f'hemu fyoha fikamulana pamonga.
18 And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.
Na muene ndo mutual ghwa mbhele yaani kanisa, muene ndo mwanzo ni mzalibhwa ghwa kubhwandelu kulioma mu bhafu, henu, ayele ni nafasi j'ha kubhwandelu mu f'henu fyoha.
19 For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,
Kwa kuj'ha K'yara aganilikuj'ha bhutimilifu bhwake bhwoha bhutamai mugati mwah muene.
20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.
Ni kupatanisya f'hemu fyoha kwa muene kwa NJ'hela j'ha mwanamunu. K'yara abhombili amani kup'hetela muasi bhwa nsalaba bhwake. k'yara apatanisi f'henu fyoha kwa muene, ikayelai ni f'henu fya paduniani, au f'henu fyafya kumbinguni.
21 Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds.
Ni mwenga pia, kwa bhwakati bhumonga mwaj'hele bhageni kwa K'yara na mwaj'hele bhasomani bhamuene much akili ni matendo ghaghaleli kuj'ha manufu.
22 But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence—
Lakini henu abhapatanisi mu enga mu mb'hele bhwa muene kup'hetela kufwa. Akhetili neha idi kubhelete mwenga bhatakatifu, bhabhabelikuya ni lawama ni bilateral dosari palongolo pa muene.
23 if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Kama mbete kuyendelela mu imani ya mkomele ni j'ha kinofu, bilateral kubhosibhwa patali kulioma mutaraja lya bhaisisya lya injili j'hamu yipeliki. Enya ndo injili ambaho kwayo nene Pauli, njele mmbombeli.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.
Henu nihobhokili matesu ghangu kwa ndabha j'hinu. Nani ni timisya mu m'mbele bhuangu kyakip'honghoka kwa matesu gha Kiristu kwa ndabha j'ha m'mbele bhwa muene, ambabho ndo kanisa.
25 I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully proclaim to you the word of God,
Nene ne mmbombeli bhwa likanisa e`le sawasawa ni bhua jibu bhwanipelibhu kuh'oma kwa K'yara kwa ndabha j'hinu, kulimemesya lilobhi lya K'yara.
26 the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints. (aiōn g165)
O'bho ndo bhukweli bhwa siri j'haiyele j'hifighibhu kwa miaka mingi ni kwavizazi. Lakini henu j'hifunuhbhu kwa bhona bhabhikiera kwa muene. (aiōn g165)
27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Ni kwa bhala ambabho K'yara alondeghe kufunula kwa kuj'hele ni bhutajiri bhwa utukufu bhwa siri j'ha bhukweli O'bho mugati mu mataifa. Ndo kujobha Kristu ajihele mugati mwinu, bhujasiri bhwa bhutukufu bhwa wihida.
28 We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
O'yo ndo j'hatukantangasya. Tukansihi kila munu, ni kummanyisya kila munu kwa hekima j'hioha, ili kwamba tundetaj'hi kila munu nkamilifu kwa Kristu.
29 To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
Kwa ndabha e`jhe nene nikajitenga ni kujitangatila kul'engana ni nghofu j'ha muene j'hajhifuanya mbombo mugati mwa nene mu bhuweza.
