Colossians 1
1 Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, mpe ndeko Timote;
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.
Epai ya bandeko oyo, kati na engumba Kolose, bazali bule mpe bayengebene kati na Klisto: Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso!
3 We giue thankes to God euen ye Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, alway praying for you:
Tozongisaka tango nyonso matondi epai ya Nzambe, Tata ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, tango tosambelaka mpo na bino,
4 Since wee heard of your faith in Christ Iesus, and of your loue toward all Saintes,
pamba te toyokaki sango ya kondima na bino kati na Yesu-Klisto, mpe sango ya bolingo na bino mpo na basantu nyonso.
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,
Kondima mpe bolingo yango etongami na likolo ya elikya ya bomengo oyo Nzambe abongisela bino kati na Likolo; elikya yango ebotamaki kati na bino tango boyokaki Liloba ya solo, Sango Malamu
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,
oyo ekomaki kino epai na bino. Sango Malamu yango epanzani mokili mobimba, ezali kobota bambuma ebele mpe ezali kokende liboso, ndenge kaka esalaki kati na bino wuta mokolo oyo boyokaki yango mpe bozwaki penza bososoli ya kokoka na tina na ngolu ya Nzambe.
7 As yee also learned of Epaphras our deare fellowe seruaunt, which is for you a faithfull minister of Christ:
Ezali molingami Epafrasi, moninga na biso ya mosala, nde ateyaki bino Sango Malamu yango; azali mosali ya Klisto mpe asalaka na bosembo epai na bino.
8 Who hath also declared vnto vs your loue in the Spirit.
Ezali mpe kaka ye moto ayebisaki biso ndenge nini Molimo atindikaka bino na bolingo.
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,
Yango wana, wuta mokolo oyo toyokaki sango na tina na bino, totikaka te kobondela mpo na bino mpe kosenga na Nzambe ete atondisa bino na boyebi ya mokano na Ye, na bwanya nyonso mpe na bososoli oyo Molimo apesaka,
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,
mpo ete bozala na bizaleli oyo ebongi liboso ya Nkolo, mpo ete bosepelisa Ye na nyonso, mpo ete bobota bambuma na nzela ya lolenge nyonso ya misala na bino ya malamu, mpo ete bokola kati na boyebi ya Nzambe,
11 Strengthened with all might through his glorious power, vnto all patience, and long suffering with ioyfulnesse,
mpo ete bokoma bato na nguya kati na makambo nyonso kolanda makasi ya nkembo na Ye, mpo ete boyikela nyonso mpiko mpe bozala na molende mpe esengo kino na suka;
12 Giuing thankes vnto the Father, which hath made vs meete to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saintes in light,
mpe mpo ete, na esengo nyonso, bozongisaka matondi epai ya Tata oyo apesaki bino makoki ya kosangana na libula ya basantu kati na Bokonzi ya pole. Pamba te:
13 Who hath deliuered vs from the power of darkenesse, and hath translated vs into the kingdome of his deare Sonne,
Akangolaki biso na bokonzi ya molili mpe amemaki biso kati na bokonzi ya Mwana na Ye ya bolingo,
14 In whome we haue redemption through his blood, that is, the forgiuenesse of sinnes,
oyo, kati na Ye, tozwi lisiko mpe bolimbisi ya masumu.
15 Who is the image of the inuisible God, the first begotten of euery creature.
Klisto azali elilingi ya Nzambe oyo amonanaka te, azala liboso ya bikelamu nyonso,
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,
pamba te ezali na nzela na Yesu nde nyonso ekelama kati na Likolo mpe na mabele, bikelamu oyo emonanaka mpe oyo emonanaka te, milimo mpe bokonzi ya milimo, bakonzi ya milimo mpe banguya. Ezali na nzela na Yesu mpe mpo na Yesu nde nyonso ekelama.
17 And hee is before all things, and in him all things consist.
Yesu azali liboso na nyonso, mpe nyonso esimbama kati na Ye;
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.
azali moto ya nzoto na Ye, oyo ezali Lingomba; azali ebandeli, Mosekwi ya liboso kati na bakufi, mpo ete azala na bokonzi ya liboso kati na nyonso,
19 For it pleased the Father, that in him should all fulnesse dwell,
pamba te, kati na Ye, Nzambe asepelaki kovandisa bonzambe na Ye nyonso
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.
mpe kozongisa, na nzela ya Klisto, boyokani kati na Ye moko Nzambe mpe bikelamu nyonso, ezala oyo ezali na mabele to mpe oyo ezali kati na Likolo, na kotia kimia na nzela ya makila oyo Mwana na Ye asopaki na ekulusu.
21 And you which were in times past strangers and enemies, because your mindes were set in euill workes, hath he nowe also reconciled,
Nzokande na kala, bozalaki mosika ya Nzambe mpe bozalaki banguna na Ye mpo na mabe nyonso oyo bozalaki kokanisa mpe kosala.
22 In that body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, and vnblameable and without fault in his sight,
Kasi sik’oyo, Nzambe azongisi boyokani kati na Ye mpe bino na nzela ya kufa ya Yesu, Mwana na Ye, oyo akabaki nzoto na Ye ya bomoto lokola mbeka mpo na kotalisa bino epai ya Nzambe lokola bato ya bule, bazanga pamela mpe bazanga mbeba.
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.
Kasi bosengeli penza kowumela, kotelema ngwi mpe kolenda kati na kondima na bino; mpe bosengeli koboya kopengwa mosika ya elikya oyo bozwaki wuta tango boyokaki Sango Malamu. Sango Malamu yango esakolamaki kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na se ya Likolo, mpe ngai Polo nakoma mosali na yango.
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,
Nazali sik’oyo kosepela na pasi oyo nazali komona mpo na bino; pamba te pasi oyo Klisto atikalaki komona te, ngai nazali kokokisa yango kati na nzoto na ngai mpo na bolamu ya nzoto na Ye, oyo ezali Lingomba.
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,
Nakoma mosali na yango kolanda mokumba oyo Nzambe apesa ngai: mokumba ya koteya bino Liloba na Nzambe na mobimba na yango.
26 Which is the mysterie hid since the world began, and from all ages, but nowe is made manifest to his Saintes, (aiōn g165)
Sango Malamu ezali mabombami oyo Nzambe abomba wuta na ebandeli, kasi alakisi yango sik’oyo epai ya basantu na Ye. (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,
Nzambe asepeli kolakisa bango bomengo ya nkembo, oyo evandi kati na mabombami ya mabongisi na Ye mpo na Bapagano. Mabombami yango ezali: Klisto kati na bino, elikya ya nkembo.
28 Whome we preache, admonishing euery man, and teaching euery man in all wisdome, that we may present euery man perfect in Christ Iesus,
Ezali Ye Klisto nde biso tosakolaka, na kokebisa mpe na koteya moto nyonso, na bwanya nyonso, mpo na kokomisa moto nyonso ya kokoka kati na Klisto.
29 Whereunto I also labour and striue, according to his working which worketh in me mightily.
Ezali mpo na yango nde nasalaka mpe nabundaka na nzela ya makasi ya Klisto, oyo esalaka na nguya kati na ngai.
