Colossians 1
1 Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus, by God's will, and Timotheus the brother,
An Paulo, ma jaote mar Kristo Yesu kuom dwaro mar Nyasaye kaachiel gi Timotheo owadwa,
2 to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ which [are] in Colosse. Grace to you and peace from God our Father [and Lord Jesus Christ].
Andikonu kuom Kristo un owetewa maler kendo ma jo-adiera man Kolosai: Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa obed kodu.
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ continually [when] praying for you,
Pile ka walemonu to wadwoko erokamano ni Nyasaye ma en Wuon Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which ye have towards all the saints,
watimo kamano nikech wasewinjo yie ma un-go kuom Kristo Yesu, kendo hera ma uherogo joma oyie duto,
5 on account of the hope which [is] laid up for you in the heavens; of which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the glad tidings,
Yieuni kod herau owuok kuom gima ugeno yudo mokannu maber e polo. Ma en e Injili mane obironu mokwongo ma uwinjo kendo urwako, en e wach geno mane akelo.
6 which are come to you, as [they are] in all the world, [and] are bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day ye heard [them] and knew indeed the grace of God, in truth:
E piny duto Injilini koro nyago olemo kendo landore, mana kaka osetimo e dieru nyaka chakre odiechiengʼ ma nuwinjoe kendo ungʼeyo ngʼwono mar Nyasaye e adierane duto.
7 even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-bondman, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,
Ne upuonjoru wachni kuom owadwa mwageno Epafra ma en misumba Kristo, kendo ma jatich Kristo ma ja-adiera matiyonu karwa.
8 who has also manifested to us your love in [the] Spirit.
Epafra bende nonyisowa kuom hera ma Roho Maler osemiyou.
9 For this reason we also, from the day we heard [of your faith and love], do not cease praying and asking for you, to the end that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
Kuom mano, chakre odiechiengʼ mane wawinjo kuomu pok waweyo ma ok walamonu ka wakwayo Nyasaye mondo opongʼu gi ngʼeyo dwarone, ka un gi rieko duto mar chuny kod winjo ma Roho Maler chiwo.
10 [so as] to walk worthily of the Lord unto all well-pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing by the true knowledge of God;
Bende walamo kamano mondo udag e ngima ma Ruoth morgo, ka umiye mor e yore duto, kendo unyago olemo mag timbe mabeyo bende ka umedo bedo gi ngʼeyo Nyasaye.
11 strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory unto all endurance and longsuffering with joy;
Tekone maduongʼ biro miyo ubed motegno, mondo ubed joma odhil matimo kinda e yore duto, kendo
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light,
magoyo erokamano ni Wuoro ka un gi mor. En ema osewalou tenge mondo uyud gweth mag jomaler e pinyruodh ler.
13 who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:
Nikech oseresowa waa e loch mar mudho mi okelowa e pinyruoth mar Wuode mohero,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;
Ne owarowa koweyonwa richowa.
15 who is image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation;
Kristo e kido mineno mar Nyasaye ma ok ne, kendo en e wuowi makayo mar Nyasaye man-gi duongʼ kuom chwech duto.
16 because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.
Kuome gik moko duto nochwe; gik manie polo gi manie piny; gik mineno kod gik ma ok ne; kata bed ni gin duongʼ kata teko, kata ruodhi, kata loch. Mago duto Nyasaye nochweyo kuom Kristo kendo nochweyogi ni Kristo.
17 And he is before all, and all things subsist together by him.
Ne entie kapok gimoro amora nobetie, kendo kuome ema gik moko duto oriwore.
18 And he is the head of the body, the assembly; who is [the] beginning, firstborn from among the dead, that he might have the first place in all things:
En ewi ringruok, ma en kanisa, kendo en ema nokwongo chier koa kuom joma otho mondo obed gi loch kuom gik moko duto.
19 for in him all the fulness [of the Godhead] was pleased to dwell,
Nyasaye ne mor mondo kite duto obed kuom Wuode,
20 and by him to reconcile all things to itself, having made peace by the blood of his cross — by him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.
kendo kuome Nyasaye nomiyo gik moko duto obedo gi winjruok kaachiel kode, kata gibed gik moko manie piny gi gik manie polo, kokelo kwe kuom remb Wuode mane ochwer e msalaba.
21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in mind by wicked works, yet now has it reconciled
Chon ne upogoru gi Nyasaye, kendo ne un wasike kuom pachu nikech timbe maricho mane utimo.
22 in the body of his flesh through death; to present you holy and unblamable and irreproachable before it,
To koro osetimonu winjruok e kindu kode kuom tho Kristo e ringruok, mondo oteru e nyime kuler ka uonge gi songa kuomu kata ketho.
23 if indeed ye abide in the faith founded and firm, and not moved away from the hope of the glad tidings, which ye have heard, which have been proclaimed in the whole creation which [is] under heaven, of which I Paul became minister.
Mano biro timore mana ka udhi nyime e yieu, kendo kuchungʼ motegno ma ok uyiengni uweyo geno mar Injili. Ma e Injili mane uwinjo, kendo makoro oseyal ni chwech duto e bwo polo, kendo ma an Paulo asebedo ka atiyone.
24 Now, I rejoice in sufferings for you, and I fill up that which is behind of the tribulations of Christ in my flesh, for his body, which is the assembly;
Emomiyo koro amor ka aneno masiche nikech un, ka ringra chopo gik mane orem kuom masiche mane Kristo oneno nikech ringre Kristo owuon, ma en kanisa.
25 of which I became minister, according to the dispensation of God which [is] given me towards you to complete the word of God,
Asedoko jatich mar kanyakla mar joma oyie kaluwore gi ote mane Nyasaye oorago iru mondo ayalnu wechene duto,
26 the mystery which [has been] hidden from ages and from generations, but has now been made manifest to his saints; (aiōn g165)
ma en wach manopandi kuom higni gi tienge mangʼeny, to koro oseel tiende ni jomaler. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you the hope of glory:
Gin e joma Nyasaye oseyiero mondo onyis ogendini mwandu gi duongʼ man kuom wach mane opandino, en Kristo modak e chunyu kendo ma en e geno mar duongʼ.
28 whom we announce, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, to the end that we may present every man perfect in Christ.
Kristono e mwalando ne ji duto ka wasiemogi kendo wapuonjogi rieko duto, mondo water ji duto e nyim Kristo ka ler chutho.
29 Whereunto also I toil, combating according to his working, which works in me in power.
Mano emomiyo ka atiyo matek kuom tekone matiyo kuoma.
