Colossians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the purpose of God, and Timothy our brother,
Njame Paulo, mutumwa wa Klistu Yesu kwelana ne kuyanda kwa Lesa, ndi pamo ne Timoti mwanse wetu,
2 To the saints and true brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
tulalembelenga amwe mwalasalwa ne Lesa mwekala mu Kolose, mobanse mwashoma muli Klistu. Lesa Bata bamuleshe kwina moyo nekumupa lumuno.
3 We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,
Twamupaililangonga, cindi conse tukute kulumbaisha Lesa Baishi, Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu,
4 After hearing of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have for all the saints,
tulamulumbunga, pakwinga tulanyumfu sha lushomo ndomukute muli Klistu Yesu, kayi lusuno ndomukute ku bantu ba Lesa bonse.
5 Through the hope which is in store for you in heaven; knowledge of which was given to you before in the true word of the good news,
Lushomo ne lusuno lwenu lwebakwa pabupembeleshi, ubo Lesa mbwamubambila Kwilu, mbomwalatambula mpomwalanyumfwa Mulumbe Waina kwa kacindi cakutanguna, uwo e maswi ancinencine.
6 Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;
Mulumbe Waina ulapitilishingowa kuleta colwe kubantu, kayi ulamwaikilinga mucishi capanshi conse, mbuli ncalesa kuli njamwe pabusuba mbomwalanyumfwishisha ne kwishiba nkumbo sha Lesa.
7 As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,
Mwalaiya ibi bintu kufuma kuli Epafulasi musebenshi munetu wayandika, musebenshi washomeka lasebenselenga Klistu uyo watwimaninako.
8 And who, himself, made clear to us your love in the Spirit.
Ewalatwambila sha lusuno ndolamunyamfwanga Mushimu Uswepa.
9 For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,
Ecebo cakendi kufuma pa busuba mpotwalanyumfwa sha makani enu tuliya kuleka kumupaililako. Tulasengengeti Lesa amupe mano ne lwishibo lwesulila lwa Mushimu Uswepa kwambeti mwishibe cena luyando lwakendi.
10 Living uprightly in the approval of the Lord, giving fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Popelapo nimukacikonse kwenda munshila njalayandanga nekumukondwelesha Mwami. Mulenshinga cena muncito shenu shapusana pusana, buyumi bwenu nibukaleshe micito yapusana pusana. lunshibo lwenu lwakwishiba Lesa lukule.
11 Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;
Ndapailingeti Lesa pakusebensesha ngofu sha bulemu bwakendi, amupeko ngofu shapitilila, kwambeti mucikonshe kupita mumakatasho aliwonse kamuli mwatekanya myoyo nekukondwa.
12 Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;
Lumbaishani Mwami Lesa Bata abo balapesheti mucikonshe kutambula colwe ncabambila bantu mu Bwami bwakendi bulamunikinga.
13 Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;
Walatufunya mu ngofu sha mushishe nekututwala mu bwendeleshi bwa Mwanendi ngwasuni.
14 In whom we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:
Kupitila mu Mwanendi, Lesa walatupulusha mu bwipishi pakutulekelela bwipishi bwetu bonse.
15 Who is the image of the unseen God coming into existence before all living things;
Klistu emukoshano wancinencine wa Lesa uyo utaboneke. Nendi eMwanendi wakusomona, ukute bwendeleshi pabilengwa byonse.
16 For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;
Kupitila mulyendiye Lesa walalenga byonse byakwilu nebyapa cishi capanshi, mbyotukute kubona ne mbyotutakonsho kubona, mishimu yangofu, ne bendeleshi ne bami Lesa walalenga byonse kupitila mu Mwanendi kayi nibyakendi.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things have being.
Mwanendi Lesa walikubako myaka yandoba bintu byonse kabitana bibako, mulyendiye byonse byekatana pamo.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.
Klistu emutwi wa mubungano, emubili wakendi. Klistu emukalo wa buyumi bwa mubili, kayi ekabalabala kupunduka kubafu kwambeti amantemo lubasu lwakutanguna muli byonse.
19 For God in full measure was pleased to be in him;
Lesa walakondwa kwambeti ngofu shakendi shabulesa shibonekele muli Klistu.
20 Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.
Kayi kupitila mu mwanendi, Lesa walayanda kwambeti abike pamo bintu byonse, bya kwilu ne bya pa cishi capashi mulumuno, kupitila mulufu lwapa lusanda lwa Mwanendi.
21 And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one
Mwalikuba mwatalamuka kuli Lesa cebo ca miyeyo yenu ne bintu byaipa mbyomwalikwinsa.
22 In the body of his flesh through death, so that you might be holy and without sin and free from all evil before him:
Nomba pacino cindi kupitila mu Mwanendi uyo walaba muntu ne kufwa. Mulaba banendi Lesa kwambeti amulete kulyendiye, kamuli baswepa babula kampenda nambi kantongo kalikonse.
23 If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
Neco kamubani ne lushomo lwayuma kamutaba bantu beshikutenkana pakupembelela kwenu, nkomwalatambula pacindi ncomwalanyumfwa Mulumbe Waina. Ame Paulo, ndemusha pacebo ca Mulumbe Waina uwu ulakambaukwanga pacishi conse.
24 Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;
Kayi lino ndakondwa kumupengela, pakwinga mapensho akame alanyamfwilishinga kupwisha mapensho a Klistu alashala akupengela mubili wakendi, uwo uli mubungano.
25 Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God,
Neco ndemusha wa mubungano, pakwinga Lesa walampa ncito yakusebensa, incito ya kukambauka mulumbe wakendi wonse.
26 The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints, (aiōn g165)
Pakwinga ku myaka yandoba, mulumbe uwu nkawalikuba weshibikwa ku muntu uliyense sobwe, nomba pacino cindi ulakambaukwanga ku bantu bakendi. (aiōn g165)
27 To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Lesa walayandeti bantu batamwishi beshibe maswi acancine ncine. Maswi abubile bwa bulemu bwakendi ubo bwalikuba bwasolekwa ku bantu bonse. Calikuba casolekwa ico nicakwambeti Klistu uli muli njamwe, kayi ewalamupa kupembelela kwa kwisakutambula bulemu bwakendi Lesa.
28 Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ;
Klistu engotulakambaukunga. Tulasebenseshenga mano etu onse kucenjesha ne kwiyisha bantu bonse kwambeti babule kampenda mukwikatana pamo ne Klistu.
29 And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.
Ecebo cakendi ncondasebenselenga cangofu pakusebensesha ngofu nshondalapewa ne Klistu shilasebensenga mulinjame.
