Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, a 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 Jesus, who are at Colossa.
Tunakunjandishilanga mmandunji bha ukonjelo nninginji ku Koloshai, mmakulupalikanga nnundenenje na a Kilishitu. Nema na ulele ibhakutupa a Atati a Nnungu, ibhe na mmanganyanji.
3 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.
Kila putukunnjujilanga, tunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, Aina bhabho Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
4 Hearing your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which you have towards all the saints.
Pabha tushipilikana ngani ja ngulupai yenunji nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu, na nkwaapinganga bhandu bhowe bha ukonjelo.
5 For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard 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 come unto you, as also it is in the whole world, and bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in 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 of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus;
Malinga shinnjigenywenje ga nema ja a Nnungu na a Epapula, bhatumishi ajetu bha a Kilishitu bhaakulupalika, kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji.
8 Who also hath manifested to us your love in the spirit.
Bhenebho bhatubhalanjile ga pinga kwenunji kumpatilenje naka Mbumu.
9 Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to beg 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 That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work, 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 might, according to the power of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy,
A Nnungu bhampanganje mashili kwa kombola kwabho kwa ukonjelo, nkupinga mwiipilililanje kwa kila shindu na kwiiluma na angalala.
12 Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot 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 hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
Na bhenebho bhashinkututapula mmashili ga lubhindu, nikutushoya na kutujinjiya muupalume uka mwana gwabho jubhakumpinga.
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins;
Kwa bhenebho tunagombolwa, nileshelelwa yambi yetu.
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Na a Kilishitu ni shilanda shibhoneka, sha a Nnungu bhakaabhoneka, nantando jwa indu yowe ipengenywe.
16 For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and in 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, 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, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he may hold the primacy:
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 Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell;
Pabha a Nnungu bhashipinga kutimilila kwabho kowe kutame mubhanabhabho a Yeshu.
20 And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are 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, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works:
Mmanganyanji bhukala mwashinkutalikangana na a Nnungu nibha magongo, kwa ligongo lya ng'aniyo yenunji na itendi yenunji ya nyata.
22 Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unspotted, and blameless before him:
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 so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven, whereof I Paul am 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 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for 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 Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I may fulfill 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 hath been hidden from ages and generations, but now is manifested 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 the riches of the glory 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, admonishing 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 Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me in power.
Kwa ligongo lyolyo, nne ngunalajilila tenda liengo, kwa mashili gungupegwa na a Kilishitu gakamula liengo muntima gwangu.
