Colossians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the will of God, and from our brother Timothy.
U Paulo umtume wa Kristi u Yesu, shahuanza Ungolowe nu Timoti uholowetu,
2 To the believers and trusting Christians at Colossae: may you have grace and peace from God our Father.
hulweteho na huwaholo awagolosu hwa Kristi wawaleho Hukolosai. Uweene uwe humwenyu nu pumu, afume hwa Ngolowe Udaada weti.
3 We are always thankful to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for you, and pray for you.
Tihusalipwa Ungolowe, Udaada weti wa Yesu UKristi, tihuwalawila hani hani.
4 We've heard about your trust in Christ Jesus and your love for all the believers
Tumvyenze ulweteho wamlinao hwa Yesu Ukristi nu lugano wamlinao hwa wantu wonti bhabhaguliwe awe hua Ngolowe.
5 because of the hope prepared for you in heaven. You already heard about this in the good news, the message of truth
Mli nulugano walioli uweshelwe humwanya awe wenyu. Mwahomvyezye aje agole lioli, shalisele izwi ni injili,
6 that came to you just as it has gone throughout the whole world, spreading widely and bringing results. It's done the same for you too, ever since you heard it and realized the true nature of God's grace.
eyo inyezelehu mwenyu. Inzwi lipapa amadondo liwala musimonti liwomba mhanti yentu ahuande isiku liamuhahovyenzye na manyile lioli uwene wa Ngolobhe.
7 Our dear friend and fellow-worker Epaphras, who is a trustworthy minister of Christ on our behalf, taught you about this.
Eli izwi lyammanyie afume hwa Epafra, uganwwe wetu, umuwomba mbombo uwamwentu, muomba mbombo ugolosu wa Kristi ubadra uwetu.
8 He's also made clear to us your love in the Spirit.
U Epafra auwombile uonehane humwenti uugano wenyu Hwampepo.
9 Because of this we continue to pray for you from the time we heard about you, asking God to give you understanding of what he wants you to do and to give you every kind of spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Huje ulugano ouu ahwandi isiku hatahahovyenzye sagatileshile huwaputile. Tilishatillawa aje mmeme injelee, ihekima yonti, injele yahupepo.
10 That way you'll live lives that rightly represent the Lord and please him, producing all kinds of good results and gaining greater knowledge of God.
Tilishatilawa aje mjendaje na jimbe hwa Bwana hwidala lilipendezye. Tilishatilawa aje mpape amadondo shila mbombo inyinza munzawe ni njele iya Ngolowe.
11 May you be made powerfully strong by his wonderful strength, having great patience and endurance.
Tilawa mposhele ingovu ni ngovu izyi tuntumu wakwe naje tijimbanje na jimbizanye tonti.
12 May you happily praise the Father, who has made it possible for us to share in the inheritance of God's people who live in the light.
Tilawa aje mshanje tisalipua huadaada yawawombile amwe muwe wakwe hulweteho uselu.
13 He rescued us from the tyranny of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
Atikomboe afume huutawala wa nkhisi na hutusamizizye huumwene wa Mwana wakwe uganwe.
14 through whom we have been set free and our sins forgiven.
Hwa Mwana wakwe tikombolilwe, tisanjililwe hu mbiwi.
15 The Son is the visible picture of the invisible God. He was before all creation,
Umwana aliye yu Ngolowe yasagaawoneha, upapwe wahuande ya wumbe vyonti.
16 for everything was created through him—in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, empires, rulers, leaders and authorities—everything was created through him and for him.
Umwene ivitu vyonti vyahawombwilwe izyahumisanya, izyamunsi viviloleha, visagaviloleha. nkavya enzi, nkavya tawale vyangovu vyonti vyahawubwelwe nu mwene kwaajili yakwe.
17 He existed before everything, and he holds everything together.
Umwene aleho wahuande kabla ya vyonti, umwene ivinti vyonti vihatene peka.
18 He is also the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the first and highest of those raised from the dead, so that he is supreme in everything.
Umwene litwe li pele yaani ishiwanza, umwene wahuande, papwe wahuande afume mwawafyeye. Huje alini nafasi ya huande mvintu vyonti.
19 God was pleased to have his full nature live in him,
Huje Ungolobhe ahasongwelwe aje ufinyile wakwe wonti ukhala mhati yakwe,
20 and through him brought back everything in the universe to himself, since he made peace through the blood of his cross, through him reconciling all those on the earth and in heaven.
apatanishe ivintu vyonti hwidala lya Mwana wakwe. Ungolowe aahawombile upumu ashirile idanda lya mshikhomanyo wakwe. Ungolobhe ahapatanisizye wintu vyonti ivyakwe mwene. Nkha vintu vya munsi au ivintu vyahumwanya.
21 You once were alienated from God, enemies in the way you thought and the way you acted,
Amwe nantele mwahali wajenu hwa Ngolobhe mwahali wawiwi wakwe hujele na humbombo imbiwi.
22 but now he has reconciled you through his dying human body, bringing you into his presence where you stand holy, pure, and faultless.
Eshi awawonganyenye amwe hu bele wakwe ashilile afye. Ahawombile esho ili awalete amwe muwagolosu wasaga walinimbiwi wala intavu hwitangalila lyakwe,
23 But your trust in him must continue rock-solid and immovable. Don't be shaken from the hope of the good news that you heard, the good news that's been shared throughout the world—that's the work that I Paul have been doing.
nkamuza jende mlweteshelo mkamilishe mlishinza msahasogole mdandamaje hunzwi. Hi ndiyo injili iliyotangazwa kwa kila mtu aliyeumbwa chini ya mbingu. Elino ane ni Paulo indi muwomba mbombo.
24 I'm happy to have trouble for your sake, for by means of what happens to me physically I'm part of Christ's sufferings that he continues to experience for the sake of his body, the church.
Eshi ishiye lwipata amalawa kwa ajili yamwe. Nanee iwomba hubele gwane shishipungoha humatawa gane hwa Kristi hubele gwakwe, ishipanga.
25 I serve the church following the direction God gave me about you, to present fully the word of God to you.
Ane nimuomba mbombo wishipanga husawasawa ni mbombo nyimpewilwe afume Hwangolowe hwaajili yamwe, amyemye izwi lya Ngolobhe.
26 This is the mystery that was hidden down through the ages and for many generations, but it's now been revealed to God's people. (aiōn g165)
Ene ilioli siri ifisilwe amaha minchi huvizazi. Eshi saga siri hwa wonti wawali nu lweteshelo hwa mwene. (aiōn g165)
27 God wanted to make known to them the glorious wealth of this mystery to the nations: Christ living in you is the glorious hope!
Ungolowe awazile wala wahwanza huwawonesha utaajiri wa utuntumu wa siri ya ulioli mhanti yawantu munsi zyonti. Huje UKristi aleho mhati yenyu, udandamazu nu tuntumu uuhwenza.
28 We're telling everyone about him, instructing and teaching them in the best way we know how so that we can bring everyone before God fully mature in Christ.
Uno yuyulatihutengemela Tihusunda kila muntu, tihumanyizya kila muntu injele yonti, ili tulete kila muntu huungolosu hwa Kristi.
29 That's what I'm working for too, making every effort as I rely on his strength which is powerfully at work in me.
Ane ihujilavya na ikazana afuatane ni ngovu zyakwe zyaziwomba imbombo mhati yane nu ngovu.
