Colossians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the will of God, and from our brother Timothy.
Bulus, unan kaduran Yesu unuzu nyinnu Kutelle, nin Timoti gwana bit,
2 To the believers and trusting Christians at Colossae: may you have grace and peace from God our Father.
udu kiti nalege na Kutelle na fere nani, alenge na ina ni nibinai mine kitin Yesu, ale na idi Nkolosiya. Ubolu Kutelle nin lisosin limang nnuzu Kutelle Ucif bit.
3 We are always thankful to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for you, and pray for you.
Tidinin liburi liboo kiti Kutelle, Ufin Yesu Kristi, ti din suu minu nlira kokome kubi.
4 We've heard about your trust in Christ Jesus and your love for all the believers
Tina lanza uyinu mine sa uyenu nanya Yesu Kristi, nin suu kiti na lena Kutelle nafere nani.
5 because of the hope prepared for you in heaven. You already heard about this in the good news, the message of truth
Bara uni kibinai nghinua, nin ciu nanyi mine kiti nimong ile idi kitene kan, anughe wa cizin ulanzu ubelen nni nibinai nine unuzu ligbulang kidagen, ullirun nlai.
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.
Ulenge na una dak kitimine, nafo ulenge na adin macu, akunjo vat inye, nafo na anughe ditutung, uyire liyiru longo na iwa lanza, ida yinno nkunekune Kutelle nanya kidegen mye.
7 Our dear friend and fellow-worker Epaphras, who is a trustworthy minister of Christ on our behalf, taught you about this.
Udi nafo na iwa lanza kitin Abafras, udon licin bite ule na adi kucin kulau ku Yesu kitimine.
8 He's also made clear to us your love in the Spirit.
Ame ule na ana puun nari usu mine nanya Nfip milau.
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.
Bara ule usuwe unuzu liyiri longo na tiwa lanza ubellen minu nati sunan nlirang nin tirinu nworo uyinnu kullo munu nin se nyinnunu nanya nn Ufip milau.
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.
Anit din nliran nworo ucin mine cinu dert, nin vat, nafo na iba macu nanya liddu licine nin nkunju mine nanya nyinu Kutelle.
11 May you be made powerfully strong by his wonderful strength, having great patience and endurance.
Tidin nliran nworo vat nile imong na idin suwe, nanya likara nzinu mye, una dorfino nin ghinu nanya ncin nibinai mine nin nayi ashau
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.
Tidin nlira nworo ule imone yita iba zazinu Ucif bite nin nayi aboo ulenge na atanari tinanin nbatina ulii ngadu nanya anan yinu sa uyenu nanya uhaske.
13 He rescued us from the tyranny of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
Ana bolu nari nanya likara nsirti, anin kpiliya nari udu kitetne tigo Ngono me nayi mye.
14 through whom we have been set free and our sins forgiven.
Nanya Ngono mere tina se utucu nin nshawu kulapi.
15 The Son is the visible picture of the invisible God. He was before all creation,
Gone amere tina se utucu nin shawu na lapi bite
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.
Bara kitimere iwa ke imong vat ilengene na idi kitene kani nin nilenge na idi inye vat, ulenge na idin yenju nin nilenge nsalin nyenju, sa kuteet tigo, sa uminu kipin, sa tigo vat nimon amere wa kee bara litime.
17 He existed before everything, and he holds everything together.
Ame di ubun nin ko iyang, nanya mere ko iyang di kiti kirum.
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.
Amere liti nanit mye, kidowo mye amere unan cizinu likara, kumat ncizinu nanya na nan nkul, adinnin kitin ncizunu nanya nimon vat.
19 God was pleased to have his full nature live in him,
Nanere bara una poo Kutelle liburi a kpiliya, nworo vat nkullu nimon nan so kitimye.
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.
Anan keele imon vat unuzu ngono mye udu kiti mye, Kutelle wa su nani kubi na awa keele ko iyang unuzu mmi Ngono mye na iwa gutun kitene nbanu kutea, sa imon inyi sa kitene kan.
21 You once were alienated from God, enemies in the way you thought and the way you acted,
Au anung wang nkon kubi, iwadi amara kitin Kutelle, iwa di anan nivira mye nanya nibinai nin katwa kananzang.
22 but now he has reconciled you through his dying human body, bringing you into his presence where you stand holy, pure, and faultless.
Udak nene Kutelle wa munu minu kitene kidowo Yesu kin nkul, ankpa min annit alau, anan sali nimong tizogo anan sali nnanu lidu nbun mye.
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.
Andi tutun anughe ashono ati nanya nyinu sa uyenu anan liyisi nari gagang, na ana nworo iba kalu nani kiti katwa Kutelle na ina latiza ulenge na inasu uwa azi nin vat makeke na udi kadas, meny tutun na ina tii nso unan katuwa meng Bulus.
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.
Idinin liburi liboo nin nniu nighe bara anughe, nkulun ile imonghe na idarni nin lanzu nkul nama kidowo Yesu na unere ana dortu mye.
25 I serve the church following the direction God gave me about you, to present fully the word of God to you.
Nwwasu katwa kutyi nliran dert nin katwa kutelle ka na iwa nii bara anughe uliru Kutelle nan kullo.
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)
Kidegen ka na kiwa nyeshin nin nakus piit udu kuji kidung na kudi ncinu, bara nene ina puun kti nanit alau mye. (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!
Anughere ale na Kutelle wa yinin a belle nani ko iyagari use nkanang micine mongo na midi nanya nanit. Ame Kristi na adi nanya mine amere uciu kibinai ngongong mine.
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.
Amere ulele na tidin su nin lisa mye, tidin gbaru ko gha ku, ti dursuzo ko gha ku nin vat nyiru unan so dert kitin Yesu.
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.
Nenere ndi katuwa nin nfo kidowo bara katwa mye ka na atii ndi suwe nin likaraa.
