Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, mpe ndeko Timote;
2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
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 give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Tozongisaka tango nyonso matondi epai ya Nzambe, Tata ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, tango tosambelaka mpo na bino,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
pamba te toyokaki sango ya kondima na bino kati na Yesu-Klisto, mpe sango ya bolingo na bino mpo na basantu nyonso.
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of truth, the Good News,
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 has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
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 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,
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 also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Ezali mpe kaka ye moto ayebisaki biso ndenge nini Molimo atindikaka bino na bolingo.
9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, do not cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
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 you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, 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 power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;
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 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the 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 delivered us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;
Akangolaki biso na bokonzi ya molili mpe amemaki biso kati na bokonzi ya Mwana na Ye ya bolingo,
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins;
oyo, kati na Ye, tozwi lisiko mpe bolimbisi ya masumu.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Klisto azali elilingi ya Nzambe oyo amonanaka te, azala liboso ya bikelamu nyonso,
16 For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things have been 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 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
Yesu azali liboso na nyonso, mpe nyonso esimbama kati na Ye;
18 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.
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 all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
pamba te, kati na Ye, Nzambe asepelaki kovandisa bonzambe na Ye nyonso
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross through him, whether things on the earth or things in heaven.
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 You, who once were alienated and were hostile in your minds, doing evil deeds,
Nzokande na kala, bozalaki mosika ya Nzambe mpe bozalaki banguna na Ye mpo na mabe nyonso oyo bozalaki kokanisa mpe kosala.
22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,
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 it is so that you continue in the faith, established and firm, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
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 I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ for the sake of his body, 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 of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, 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 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints. (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 them God was pleased to make known the glorious riches of this mystery among the non-Jews, which 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 whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ Jesus;
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 for which I also labor, struggling according to his power, which works in me mightily.
Ezali mpo na yango nde nasalaka mpe nabundaka na nzela ya makasi ya Klisto, oyo esalaka na nguya kati na ngai.
