Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother,
Nene Pauli mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu kwa uganu wa Chapanga pamonga na Timoti,
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!
Tikuvayandikila nyenye vandu va Chapanga mwemwitama pamuji wa Kolosai, valongo vitu vasadikika mukuwungana na Kilisitu. Tikuvaganila ubwina na uteke kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu.
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
Magono goha lukumbi lwa tukuvayupila, tikumsengusa Chapanga, Dadi wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the holy ones,
Muni tiyuwini sadika yinu kwa Kilisitu Yesu na uganu winu kwa vandu voha va Chapanga.
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,
Sadika na uganu vihuma muhuvalila lemuvikiwi kunani kwa Chapanga. Mwayuwini hoti ndava ya sadika yeniyo pemwakokosiwi Lilovi la Bwina mala ya kutumbula.
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,
Lilovi la Bwina liyonjokesa yikuvakita vandu vahenga mambu gabwina na kudandasika pamulima woha ngati chayakitili kwinu nyenye kuhumila ligono lila pamwayuwini kuvala ubwina wa Chapanga na kuyimanya chayivili chakaka.
7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful servant of the Christ for you,
Mwajiwulili ubwina wa Chapanga kuhuma kwa Epafla, muhenga lihengu muyitu mganu msadikiwa kwa Kilisitu pahali pitu.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Mwene akutijovela malovi ga uganu wempewili na Mpungu wa Chapanga.
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,
Ndava yeniyo tavili tikuvayupila magono goha kwa kuhumila lukumbi lwatapatili malovi ginu. Tikumuyupa Chapanga avatangatila kumanya cheigana nyenye mukihengayi pamonga na uhotola wa luhala lwoha lwa kumanya mambu gegihuma kwa Mpungu Msopi.
10 to walk worthily of the LORD, pleasing in all, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God,
Penapo yati mwitama ngati cheigana Bambu na kuyendelela kukita gegakumganisa mwene magono goha. Wumi winu yati wileta mahengu gabwina ndalindali nyenye yati mwiyedelela kukula mukummanya Chapanga.
11 in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.
Chapanga avapela makakala kwa uhotola waki woha na ukulu waki muni muhotola kukangamala kila chindu kwa usindimala.
12 Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us for the participation of the inheritance of the holy ones in the light,
Na kwa luheku msengusa Dadi, mwavahotwisi nyenye kupata lilundu linu mu mambu gala geavavikili vandu vaki vevitama mulumuli lwa unkosi.
13 who rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
Mwene Chapanga atisangwili mumakakala ga chitita, akatileta muunkosi, mwene ndi Mwana mganu wa Chapanga avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbwa.
14 in whom we have the redemption [[through His blood]], the forgiveness of sins,
Kwaki mwene tigombolewa, mana yaki ndi kumbudila kwitu Chapanga kulekekesewa.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation,
Kilisitu ndi luhumu lwa Chapanga mweangalolekana, ndi Mwana wa Chapanga na avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbika.
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,
Muni kupitila mwene Chapanga awumbili vindu vyoha kila chindu pamulima na kunani kwa Chapanga, vindu vyeviloleka na vyangaloleka, vana makakala gakulu, vachilongosi vakulu na vana vigoda vya magono goha. Chapanga awumbili vindu vyoha na ndava yaki.
17 and He is before all, and all things have consisted in Him.
Mwene avili kwakona vindu vyoha, Vindu vyoha viyendelela kuvya na mukuwungana nayu vindu vyoha viyendelela pandu paki.
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,
Mwene ndi mutu wa higa yaki, ndi vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, mwene ndi Chinyepa cha wumi. Mwene ndi wa mtumbula, kutumbula kuyukiswa mulifwa, muni avya na fwasi ya kutumbula wa muvindu vyoha.
19 because all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him,
Muni Chapanga aganili uchapanga waki woha uvya mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
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.
Kupitila mwene Chapanga ahamwili vindu vyoha vyeviwumbiwi vimuwuyila mwene, na kwa ngasi yaki yeyayitiki pamsalaba akitili uteke na vindu vyoha pamulima na kunani kwa Chapanga.
21 And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now He reconciled,
Penapo nyenye mwavili kutali na Chapanga na mwavili makoko vaki ndava ya maholo ginu na matendu ginu gahakau.
22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before Himself,
Nambu hinu Chapanga avakitili nyenye mvya vankozi vaki kupitila higa ya Mwana waki mweabweli kwitu akavya mundu na kangi afwili, muni avapeleka nyenye palongolo yaki mkavya vandu vaki vabwina changali kuhoka kokoha.
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.
Muyendelela kusadika uchakaka wenuwo na kuyima chakusindimala, mkoto kuyidakila kunyuguswa huvalila musadika yemwapatili lukumbi pemwayuwini Lilovi la Bwina. Nene Pauli mwenivili namtumisi wa Lilovi la Bwina lenilo lelikokosiwi kwa vandu voha pamulima.
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,
Na hinu niheka kung'ahika ndava ya nyenye, muni kwa mang'ahiso gangu pamulima apa, nitangatila kumalakisila gala gegakona kuhengeka mu mang'ahiso ga Kilisitu ndava ya higa yaki, ndi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
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,
Na nene nikitiwi kuvya namtumisi wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu Chapanga anipeli lihengu lenilo ndava yinu. Mpangu wene ndi kukokosa kwa ubwina ujumbi waki,
26 the secret that has been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was revealed to His holy ones, (aiōn g165)
malovi ago gafiyiki kwa vandu voha kutumbula kadeni, chiveleku hati chiveleku nambu hinu gagubukuliwi kwa vandu vaki. (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,
Chapanga mwene aganili kuvamanyisa vandu vaki mfiyu wenuwo wewuvili ukulu na ubwina wewayenili kwa vandu voha vevangava Vayawudi na yene ndi iyi, kuvya Kilisitu avi mugati yinu, na nyenye mewa yati mwipata lilundu linu muukulu wa Chapanga.
28 whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,
Ndava yeniyo tikumkokosa Kilisitu kwa vandu voha, tikuvabesa na kuvawula vandu voha kwa luhala lwoha, muni tihotola kumleta kila mmonga witu palongolo ya Chapanga kuni akangili mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
29 for which I also labor, striving according to His working that is working in me in power.
Muni nihenga genago na nikangamala na kutumila likakala likulu la Kilisitu mweikita lihengu mugati yangu.
