Colossians 1
1 Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
u ne Paulo nu n'sunghua ghwitu u Timoteo twevasung'ua va Yesu kilisite mu lughano lwa Nguluve.
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.
kulyumue mwe vitiki na vanyalukolo vanywilifu mwa kilisite mwe vano muli ku Kolosai, uvumosi vuve kulyumue, nu lutengano kuhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu.
3 We giue thankes to God euen ye Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, alway praying for you:
tuku muhongesia uNguluve, Nhhata ghwa Mutwa ghwitu uYesu Kilisite, kange tukuvasuumila ke kinga ifighono fyoni.
4 Since wee heard of your faith in Christ Iesus, and of your loue toward all Saintes,
tupuliilke ulwitiko lwinu mwa Yesu Kilisite nu lughano luno mulinalwo ku vaanhu vooni vano vabaghulivue vwimila Nguluve.
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,
mili nu lughano ulu lwakuva nihuviila ulwa kyang'haani kuuti, lino livikilue kukyanya vwimila jiinu. mulyapulike muluhuvilo uluo ulwa kyang'haani ye likyale ilivangili ilya kyang'haani. lino lisile kulyumue.
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,
ilivangili ili lyalihola imheke nakupulikika mu iisi sooni. kuhuma ikighono kino mulyapulike na kumanyila uvumosi vwa Nguluve mu kyang'haani.
7 As yee also learned of Epaphras our deare fellowe seruaunt, which is for you a faithfull minister of Christ:
ili lye livangili lino mulyamanyile kuhuma kwa Eupafula, mughanike kange m'bomba mbombo n'jiitu, juno ghwe m'bombi nyilifu ghwa Kilisite,
8 Who hath also declared vnto vs your loue in the Spirit.
UEpafula ghwe alyavombile kuuti tukagule ulughano lwinu mwa Mhepo.
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,
kuhuma ikoghono kino tulyapuliike ulughano ulu natughele tubuhile kukuvasumila. jaatu tusuuma kuuti mumemesevue nu luhala lwa Nguluve.
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,
tukuvasuumila kuuti mughendaghe mu lugudo vwa Mutwa mu sila sino sinoghiile. kange tukuvasuumila kuuti mlihola imheke mu nono sooni sino muvomba muliiva mu luhala la Nguluve.
11 Strengthened with all might through his glorious power, vnto all patience, and long suffering with ioyfulnesse,
tukuvasuumia kuuti muwesie kuponekesevua ingufu kuling'hana ni ngufu sa vwimike vwake mu lugudo lwoni.
12 Giuing thankes vnto the Father, which hath made vs meete to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saintes in light,
tukuvasuumila kuuti ke lukeelo muli kumuhosngesia uNhaata juno avavombile umue muwesie kuva nu lubale ulwa kukwimilila avitki mu lumuli.
13 Who hath deliuered vs from the power of darkenesse, and hath translated vs into the kingdome of his deare Sonne,
atupokile kuhuma mu vutavike vwa ng'iisi na kukututwala ku vutwa vwa n'swambe mughanike.
14 In whome we haue redemption through his blood, that is, the forgiuenesse of sinnes,
mwa n'swambe tuli nu ... nu lu saghilo lwa sambi.
15 Who is the image of the inuisible God, the first begotten of euery creature.
Un'swambe kye kihwani kya Nguluve kino nakivooneka. ghwe muholua ghwa kwasia mu vuvumbi vwoni.
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,
ulwakuva kwa ifinu fyoni fikavumbilue, vino fili kukyanaya na fino fili pa iisi, ifinu fino fivoneka na fino nafivoneka. ndeve fya muvwandilo vwa iisi, nambe muvutavulua, nambe vutavike nambe uvunya ngufu, ifinu fyoni fikavumbilue vwimila jaake.
17 And hee is before all things, and in him all things consist.
umwene alya nambe ye fikyale ifinu fyoni, mwa mwene ifinu fyoni fikakoline palikimo.
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.
umwene ghwe mutu ghwa ilembile, umwene ghwe vwandilo kange muholua ghwa kwasia kuhuma mu vafue, lino alini nafasi ija kwasia mu finu fyoni.
19 For it pleased the Father, that in him should all fulnesse dwell,
ulwakuva uNguluve akanoghilue kuuti uvufwilifu vwake vwoni vukale n'kate jaake.
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.
na kusambania ifinu fyoni ku sila ja n'swambe. UNguluve alyavikile ulutengano kukilila idanda ja kikovekano kya mwene. UNguluve akasambinie ifinu fyoni kwa mwene, nde fyalefya mu iisi nambe fya kukyanya.
21 And you which were in times past strangers and enemies, because your mindes were set in euill workes, hath he nowe also reconciled,
numue kange, un'siki ghuno mulyale vaghesi kwa Nguluve kange mulyale valugu vake ku kuhala na maghendele gha vuhosi.
22 In that body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, and vnblameable and without fault in his sight,
neke lino avasambinie umue ku m'bili ghake kkilila uvufue. akavombile ndiki neke kukuvaleta umue mwe vwimike mwevasila lupiko kange kisila vuhosi pa maaso ghake,
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.
ndeve mulighendelela mu lwitiko, luno mukangasivue mu lweli, kisila kuvikua kutaali kuhuma ku luhivilo lwa vukangafu vwa livangili lino mukapilike. ili lwe livangili lino likapulisivue ku vaanhu vano alyavavumbile pa iisi. ili lye livangili lino une ne Paulo nilyale m'bombi.
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,
lino nihovokela imhumhuko sango vwimila jiinu. najune nikamilisia mu mbili ghwango kino kipelela mu mhumhuko ja Kilisite vwimila um'bili ghwake, ghuno je tembile.
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,
une nilim'bombi ghwa tembile iji, kulinganga nu vutavike vuno nipelilue kuhuma kwa Nguluve vwimila jinu kukulimemia ilisi lwa Nguluve.
26 Which is the mysterie hid since the world began, and from all ages, but nowe is made manifest to his Saintes, (aiōn g165)
iji je kyang'haani jini jikafisime mu maka minga ni fisina fyoni. neke lino jifunulivue ku viti voni. (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,
ve vala vano uNguluve kukuvasona vule kuli nuvutajili vwa vwimike mu lifiso lwa kyang'haani mu iisi simonga. kwe kuuti uKilisite ali n'kate jinu mu lukangasio lwa vwimike vunovukwisa.
28 Whome we preache, admonishing euery man, and teaching euery man in all wisdome, that we may present euery man perfect in Christ Iesus,
uju ghwe mwene tukumpulisia. tuum'bunga na kukum'bulanisia umuunhu ghweni ku vukola vwoni, neke kuuti tumulete umuunhu ghweni fywilifu mwa Kilisite.
29 Whereunto I also labour and striue, according to his working which worketh in me mightily.
mu vwimike uvu, une nivomba ku ngufu sango sooni na kukujitanga ni ngufu ja mwene vule jivomba imbombo n'kate jango.
