Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother,
An Paulo, ma jaote mar Kristo Yesu kuom dwaro mar Nyasaye kaachiel gi Timotheo owadwa,
2 to the holy ones in Colossae, and to the faithful brothers in Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Andikonu kuom Kristo un owetewa maler kendo ma jo-adiera man Kolosai: Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa obed kodu.
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
Pile ka walemonu to wadwoko erokamano ni Nyasaye ma en Wuon Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the holy ones,
watimo kamano nikech wasewinjo yie ma un-go kuom Kristo Yesu, kendo hera ma uherogo joma oyie duto,
5 because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which you heard of beforehand by the word of the truth of the good news,
Yieuni kod herau owuok kuom gima ugeno yudo mokannu maber e polo. Ma en e Injili mane obironu mokwongo ma uwinjo kendo urwako, en e wach geno mane akelo.
6 which has come to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which you heard, and knew the grace of God in truth,
E piny duto Injilini koro nyago olemo kendo landore, mana kaka osetimo e dieru nyaka chakre odiechiengʼ ma nuwinjoe kendo ungʼeyo ngʼwono mar Nyasaye e adierane duto.
7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful servant of the Christ for you,
Ne upuonjoru wachni kuom owadwa mwageno Epafra ma en misumba Kristo, kendo ma jatich Kristo ma ja-adiera matiyonu karwa.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Epafra bende nonyisowa kuom hera ma Roho Maler osemiyou.
9 Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
Kuom mano, chakre odiechiengʼ mane wawinjo kuomu pok waweyo ma ok walamonu ka wakwayo Nyasaye mondo opongʼu gi ngʼeyo dwarone, ka un gi rieko duto mar chuny kod winjo ma Roho Maler chiwo.
10 to walk worthily of the LORD, pleasing in all, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God,
Bende walamo kamano mondo udag e ngima ma Ruoth morgo, ka umiye mor e yore duto, kendo unyago olemo mag timbe mabeyo bende ka umedo bedo gi ngʼeyo Nyasaye.
11 in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.
Tekone maduongʼ biro miyo ubed motegno, mondo ubed joma odhil matimo kinda e yore duto, kendo
12 Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us for the participation of the inheritance of the holy ones in the light,
magoyo erokamano ni Wuoro ka un gi mor. En ema osewalou tenge mondo uyud gweth mag jomaler e pinyruodh ler.
13 who rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
Nikech oseresowa waa e loch mar mudho mi okelowa e pinyruoth mar Wuode mohero,
14 in whom we have the redemption [[through His blood]], the forgiveness of sins,
Ne owarowa koweyonwa richowa.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation,
Kristo e kido mineno mar Nyasaye ma ok ne, kendo en e wuowi makayo mar Nyasaye man-gi duongʼ kuom chwech duto.
16 because all things were created in Him, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him,
Kuome gik moko duto nochwe; gik manie polo gi manie piny; gik mineno kod gik ma ok ne; kata bed ni gin duongʼ kata teko, kata ruodhi, kata loch. Mago duto Nyasaye nochweyo kuom Kristo kendo nochweyogi ni Kristo.
17 and He is before all, and all things have consisted in Him.
Ne entie kapok gimoro amora nobetie, kendo kuome ema gik moko duto oriwore.
18 And He is the head of the body—the Assembly—who is a beginning, a firstborn out of the dead, that He might become first in all [things] Himself,
En ewi ringruok, ma en kanisa, kendo en ema nokwongo chier koa kuom joma otho mondo obed gi loch kuom gik moko duto.
19 because all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him,
Nyasaye ne mor mondo kite duto obed kuom Wuode,
20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself—having made peace through the blood of His Cross—through Him, whether the things on the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
kendo kuome Nyasaye nomiyo gik moko duto obedo gi winjruok kaachiel kode, kata gibed gik moko manie piny gi gik manie polo, kokelo kwe kuom remb Wuode mane ochwer e msalaba.
21 And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now He reconciled,
Chon ne upogoru gi Nyasaye, kendo ne un wasike kuom pachu nikech timbe maricho mane utimo.
22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before Himself,
To koro osetimonu winjruok e kindu kode kuom tho Kristo e ringruok, mondo oteru e nyime kuler ka uonge gi songa kuomu kata ketho.
23 if you also remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which you heard, which was preached in all the creation that [is] under Heaven, of which I, Paul, became a servant.
Mano biro timore mana ka udhi nyime e yieu, kendo kuchungʼ motegno ma ok uyiengni uweyo geno mar Injili. Ma e Injili mane uwinjo, kendo makoro oseyal ni chwech duto e bwo polo, kendo ma an Paulo asebedo ka atiyone.
24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for His body, which is the Assembly,
Emomiyo koro amor ka aneno masiche nikech un, ka ringra chopo gik mane orem kuom masiche mane Kristo oneno nikech ringre Kristo owuon, ma en kanisa.
25 of which I became a servant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,
Asedoko jatich mar kanyakla mar joma oyie kaluwore gi ote mane Nyasaye oorago iru mondo ayalnu wechene duto,
26 the secret that has been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was revealed to His holy ones, (aiōn g165)
ma en wach manopandi kuom higni gi tienge mangʼeny, to koro oseel tiende ni jomaler. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God willed to make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations—which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,
Gin e joma Nyasaye oseyiero mondo onyis ogendini mwandu gi duongʼ man kuom wach mane opandino, en Kristo modak e chunyu kendo ma en e geno mar duongʼ.
28 whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,
Kristono e mwalando ne ji duto ka wasiemogi kendo wapuonjogi rieko duto, mondo water ji duto e nyim Kristo ka ler chutho.
29 for which I also labor, striving according to His working that is working in me in power.
Mano emomiyo ka atiyo matek kuom tekone matiyo kuoma.
