< Colossians 1 >

1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
Pauli n'tumwa ghwa Kiristu ghwa mapenzi gha k'yara, ni Timoti ndongo bhitu,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
kwa bhaumini ni bhalongo bhaaminifu mu Kiristu bha bhaji'hele kolosai. Neema ij'helayi kwa mwenga, ni amani kuliomela kwa k'yara dadi yitu.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Twih'omesya kabhombelilu kwa k'yara, Dadi ghwa Bwana bhitu Yesu Kristu, na twikabhas'omela mara siyoha.
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
Tup'heliki imani j'hamwenga mu Yesu Kristu ni luganu lwa mj'he na lu kwa bhala bhoha bhabhatengibhu kwa ndabha j'ha k'yara.
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
Muyele ni luganu obho kwa ndabha j'ha litaraja lya bhuhakika lyalibhekibhu kunani kwa ndabha j'ha mwenga. Mwap'heliki kuhusu litaraja e'lu lyabhuhakika kabla j'ha lineno lya bhukweli, injili,
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
ambaho j'haj'hididili kwa mwenga. Injili ej'he j'hihogola litunda na liyenela pakisu poha. ij'hele j'hik'heta naha mugati mwah mwenga piano kuliomela ligono mp'heliki ni kumanyila kuhusu neema j'ha k'yara mubhu kuweli.
7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
E'jhe ndo injili j'ha mumanyili kuh'oma kwa Epafra n'ganwa ghwitu ntumwili njitu, ambajhe ndo n'tumishi n'kweli ghwa kiristu kwa ndabha j'ha twenga.
8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
Epafra auk'hetili umenyikanayi kwa tete luganu lwa mwenga mu Roho.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Kwa ndabha j'ha luganu o'lo, kuliomela ligono lyatup'eleghe naha, tulekili lepi kubha j'ohomela. Tujhele twis'oma kuj'ha mbeta kumemesibhiwa ni bhuj'huzi bhuwa mapenzi ghake muhekima yioha ni bhumanyanu bhwa Roho.
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Tujhele twis'oma kuj'ha mbeta kugenda kwa j'hilondeka kwa Bwana much NJ'hela syasilondeka. Tuyele twisoma kuj'ha mmbeta kuhogola litunda mu kila lihengu linofu nikuj'ha mbeta kuj'ha mu maarifa gha K'yara.
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Twisoma mbwesiyayi kusopibhiwa ng'ofu mu kila bhuwezo kulengana ni ng'hofusya bhutukufu bhwake mu bhuvumilivu ni bhwabhwisindamalu bhwoha.
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Twis'oma kuj'ha, kwa kuhobhoka, m'beta kuh'omesya kabhombesitu kwa dadi, yeabhakhetili mwenga muyelayi ni sehemu mu urithi bhwa bhaumini mu nuru.
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Atuokwili kulioma much bhutawala bhwa ngisi nikutusamisya much bhufalme bhwa mwana munu n'ganwa.
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Mwa mwana munu tuyele ni bhukombozi msamaha bhwa dhambi.
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Muana ndo mfuano bhwa K`yara yaibela kubhonekana. Ndo ghwa kuanza kuhogoleka au bhuumbaji bhuoha.
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
kwa kuj'ha kwa muene fenu fyoha fya bho mbiki, f'hela fya fiye kumbinguni ni fya fiyela paduniani, f'hemu fyafibhonekana ni fyafibela kubhonekana. Ikayela ifya enzi au mamlaka au bhutawala au bhwabhuye ni nghofu, f'hemu fyoha fyabhombibhu ni muene kwa ndabha j'ha muene.
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Muene aj'hele kabula j'ha f'hemu fyoha, ni kuj'ha kwa muene f'hemu fyoha fikamulana pamonga.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Na muene ndo mutual ghwa mbhele yaani kanisa, muene ndo mwanzo ni mzalibhwa ghwa kubhwandelu kulioma mu bhafu, henu, ayele ni nafasi j'ha kubhwandelu mu f'henu fyoha.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
Kwa kuj'ha K'yara aganilikuj'ha bhutimilifu bhwake bhwoha bhutamai mugati mwah muene.
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Ni kupatanisya f'hemu fyoha kwa muene kwa NJ'hela j'ha mwanamunu. K'yara abhombili amani kup'hetela muasi bhwa nsalaba bhwake. k'yara apatanisi f'henu fyoha kwa muene, ikayelai ni f'henu fya paduniani, au f'henu fyafya kumbinguni.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Ni mwenga pia, kwa bhwakati bhumonga mwaj'hele bhageni kwa K'yara na mwaj'hele bhasomani bhamuene much akili ni matendo ghaghaleli kuj'ha manufu.
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Lakini henu abhapatanisi mu enga mu mb'hele bhwa muene kup'hetela kufwa. Akhetili neha idi kubhelete mwenga bhatakatifu, bhabhabelikuya ni lawama ni bilateral dosari palongolo pa muene.
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Kama mbete kuyendelela mu imani ya mkomele ni j'ha kinofu, bilateral kubhosibhwa patali kulioma mutaraja lya bhaisisya lya injili j'hamu yipeliki. Enya ndo injili ambaho kwayo nene Pauli, njele mmbombeli.
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:
Henu nihobhokili matesu ghangu kwa ndabha j'hinu. Nani ni timisya mu m'mbele bhuangu kyakip'honghoka kwa matesu gha Kiristu kwa ndabha j'ha m'mbele bhwa muene, ambabho ndo kanisa.
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Nene ne mmbombeli bhwa likanisa e`le sawasawa ni bhua jibu bhwanipelibhu kuh'oma kwa K'yara kwa ndabha j'hinu, kulimemesya lilobhi lya K'yara.
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (aiōn g165)
O'bho ndo bhukweli bhwa siri j'haiyele j'hifighibhu kwa miaka mingi ni kwavizazi. Lakini henu j'hifunuhbhu kwa bhona bhabhikiera kwa muene. (aiōn g165)
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Ni kwa bhala ambabho K'yara alondeghe kufunula kwa kuj'hele ni bhutajiri bhwa utukufu bhwa siri j'ha bhukweli O'bho mugati mu mataifa. Ndo kujobha Kristu ajihele mugati mwinu, bhujasiri bhwa bhutukufu bhwa wihida.
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
O'yo ndo j'hatukantangasya. Tukansihi kila munu, ni kummanyisya kila munu kwa hekima j'hioha, ili kwamba tundetaj'hi kila munu nkamilifu kwa Kristu.
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Kwa ndabha e`jhe nene nikajitenga ni kujitangatila kul'engana ni nghofu j'ha muene j'hajhifuanya mbombo mugati mwa nene mu bhuweza.
