Colossians 1
1 Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
Saa krataa yi fi Paulo a ɛnam Onyankopɔn pɛ so nti, ɔyɛ Kristo somafo no ne yɛn nua Timoteo nkyɛn,
2 To them which are at Colosse, Saintes and faithfull brethren in Christ: Grace bee with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
De rekɔma ahotefo a wɔwɔ Kolose a wɔyɛ Kristo mu agyidifo no: Adom ne asomdwoe a efi yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn nka mo.
3 We giue thankes to God euen ye Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, alway praying for you:
Bere biara a yɛbɔ mpae ma mo no, yɛda Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya no ase.
4 Since wee heard of your faith in Christ Iesus, and of your loue toward all Saintes,
Efisɛ yɛate mo gyidi a mowɔ wɔ Kristo Yesu mu, ne dɔ a modɔ ahotefo no.
5 For the hopes sake, which is laide vp for you in heauen, whereof yee haue heard before by the word of trueth, which is the Gospel,
Da a edi kan a motee Asɛmpa no munyaa mu anidaso a ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo no. Enti mo gyidi ne mo dɔ a mowɔ no gyina mo anidaso a mowɔ a wɔakora no wɔ ɔsoro ama mo no so.
6 Which is come vnto you, eue as it is vnto al the world, and is fruitful, as it is also amog you, from ye day that ye heard and truely knew ye grace of God,
Efi da a edi kan a motee Onyankopɔn adom na muhuu sɛnea ɛte no, Asɛmpa no de nhyira abrɛ wiase mmaa nyinaa, na trɛw ara na ɛretrɛw sɛnea muhu no wɔ mo mu no.
7 As yee also learned of Epaphras our deare fellowe seruaunt, which is for you a faithfull minister of Christ:
Ɛnam Epafra a ɔyɛ yɛn nua somfo a ɔde gyidi yɛ Kristo adwuma ma yɛn no so na muhuu eyi.
8 Who hath also declared vnto vs your loue in the Spirit.
Ɔkaa ɔdɔ a Honhom no de ama mo no kyerɛɛ yɛn.
9 For this cause wee also, since the day wee heard of it, cease not to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be fulfilled with knowledge of his will in all wisdome, and spirituall vnderstanding,
Esiane saa nti, efi bere a yɛtee mo nka no, yɛbɔ mpae ma mo daa. Yɛsrɛɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ omfi ne pɛ mu mma mo nyansa ne ntease a ne Honhom de ma no.
10 That ye might walke worthy of the Lord, and please him in all things, being fruitefull in all good workes, and increasing in the knowledge of God,
Ɛba saa a na mubetumi atena ase sɛnea Awurade hwehwɛ na bere biara nso, mobɛyɛ nea ɛsɔ nʼani. Dwuma biara a mubedi no, ɛbɛsow aba pa na mubenyin wɔ Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ mu.
11 Strengthened with all might through his glorious power, vnto all patience, and long suffering with ioyfulnesse,
Yɛrebɔ mpae nso sɛ ne tumi ne nʼahoɔden bɛhyɛ mo ma na moatumi de Awurade mu ahosɛpɛw ne boasetɔ agyina biribiara ano.
12 Giuing thankes vnto the Father, which hath made vs meete to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saintes in light,
Momfa ahosɛpɛw nna Agya no a ɛnam ne so nti moanya nea wakora so ama nʼahotewfo a wɔwɔ ne hann no mu no bi no ase.
13 Who hath deliuered vs from the power of darkenesse, and hath translated vs into the kingdome of his deare Sonne,
Ogyee yɛn fii sum tumi ase de yɛn baa ne Dɔba no Ahenni mu dwoodwoo.
14 In whome we haue redemption through his blood, that is, the forgiuenesse of sinnes,
Ne mu na yenya ogye. Ne mu nso na yenya bɔnefakyɛ.
15 Who is the image of the inuisible God, the first begotten of euery creature.
Kristo yɛ Onyankopɔn a wonhu no no sɛso. Ɔno ne abɔde nyinaa farebae.
16 For by him were all things created, which are in heauen, and which are in earth, thinges visible and inuisible: whether they be Thrones or Dominions, or Principalities, or Powers, all things were created by him, and for him,
Efisɛ ɛnam ne so na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ biribiara a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne asase so, nea wohu ne nea wonhu, honhom mu atumfo, awuranom ne ahemfo. Onyankopɔn nam ne so na ɔbɔɔ wiase nyinaa na ɔbɔ maa no nso.
17 And hee is before all things, and in him all things consist.
Na ɔwɔ hɔ ansa na wɔrebɔ biribiara, na ne mu na biribiara nya nʼafa pɛpɛɛpɛ.
18 And hee is the head of the body of the Church: he is the beginning, and the first begotten of the dead, that in all thinges hee might haue the preeminence.
Asafo no yɛ ne nipadua, na ɔno na ɔyɛ asafo no ti. Ɔno na nipadua no nkwa fi. Ɔno ne Abakan a wonyan no fii awufo mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔno nko ara bedi ade nyinaa mu kan.
19 For it pleased the Father, that in him should all fulnesse dwell,
Efisɛ Onyankopɔn no ani gye sɛ Ɔba no wɔ ne su nyinaa wɔ ne mu.
20 And through peace made by that blood of that his crosse, to reconcile to himselfe through him, through him, I say, all thinges, both which are in earth, and which are in heauen.
Ɛnam ne Ba no so na Onyankopɔn fi ne pɛ mu de wiase nyinaa san bɛhyɛɛ ɔno ankasa ase. Onyankopɔn nam ne Ba no wu a owui wɔ asennua so no de asomdwoe bae, enti ɔde nneɛma a ɛwɔ asase so ne ɔsoro nyinaa ahyɛ nʼase.
21 And you which were in times past strangers and enemies, because your mindes were set in euill workes, hath he nowe also reconciled,
Bere bi a atwam no, esiane sɛ na moyɛ bɔne na modwene bɔne ho nti, na mo ne Onyankopɔn ntam kwan ware a na moyɛ nʼatamfo nso.
22 In that body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, and vnblameable and without fault in his sight,
Nanso ɛnam ne Ba no wu so nti Onyankopɔn afa mo nnamfo, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛyɛ kronkron a bɔne biara nni mo ho wɔ nʼanim.
23 If ye continue, grounded and stablished in the faith, and be not moued away from the hope of the Gospel, whereof ye haue heard, and which hath bene preached to euery creature which is vnder heauen, whereof I Paul am a minister.
Ɛsɛ sɛ mokɔ so ma mo gyidi mu yɛ den. Mommma ho kwan mma mo anidaso a munyaa no da a edi kan a motee Asɛmpa no nhinhim. Saa Asɛmpa a wɔka kyerɛ nnipa nyinaa yi nti na me, Paulo, mebɛyɛɛ ɔsomfo no.
24 Now reioyce I in my suffrings for you, and fulfill the rest of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for his bodies sake, which is the Church,
Ɛyɛ me anigye sɛ merebrɛ mo ho. Menam me honam mu amane a merehu no so retoa Kristo amane a ohuu wɔ ne honam mu maa nʼasafo no so.
25 Whereof I am a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which is giuen mee vnto you ward, to fulfill the word of God,
Onyankopɔn a mo yiyedi nti ɔde saa dwuma yi hyɛɛ me nsa no ayɛ me asafo no somfo. Dwumadi no yɛ nʼasɛm no ka,
26 Which is the mysterie hid since the world began, and from all ages, but nowe is made manifest to his Saintes, (aiōn g165)
a ɛyɛ ahintasɛm a mfe bebree a atwam no, ɔde hintaw adesamma, nanso afei de, wada no adi akyerɛ nʼahotewfo. (aiōn g165)
27 To whome God woulde make knowen what is the riches of his glorious mysterie among the Gentiles, which riches is Christ in you, the hope of glory,
Onyankopɔn nhyehyɛe ne sɛ, ɔbɛda nʼahintasɛm a nnepa ne anuonyam wɔ mu no adi akyerɛ Amanamanmufo nso. Ahintasɛm no ne sɛ: Kristo te mo mu, a ne nkyerɛase ne sɛ, yɛwɔ anidaso sɛ yɛn nsa bɛka Onyankopɔn anuonyam no bi.
28 Whome we preache, admonishing euery man, and teaching euery man in all wisdome, that we may present euery man perfect in Christ Iesus,
Ɛno nti yɛka Kristo ho asɛm kyerɛ nnipa nyinaa. Yɛnam adwene pa so bɔ obiara kɔkɔ, kyerɛkyerɛ, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara a yɛde no bɛhyɛ Onyankopɔn nsa no bɛyɛ pɛ wɔ Kristo mu.
29 Whereunto I also labour and striue, according to his working which worketh in me mightily.
Ɛno nti na menam Kristo tumi sononko a ɔde ma me no so yɛ adwumaden.
