Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Jene bhaluwa jino kujikopoka kwangu nne a Pauli ntume na apwetu a Timoteo. Njishemwa na a Nnungu kwa pinga kwabho kubha ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Tunakunjandishilanga mmandunji bha ukonjelo nninginji ku Koloshai, mmakulupalikanga nnundenenje na a Kilishitu. Nema na ulele ibhakutupa a Atati a Nnungu, ibhe na mmanganyanji.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Kila putukunnjujilanga, tunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, Aina bhabho Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
Pabha tushipilikana ngani ja ngulupai yenunji nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu, na nkwaapinganga bhandu bhowe bha ukonjelo.
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,
Kwa ligongo lya ngulupalilo ya indu immishilwenje kunnungu, numbe ngani jakwe mwapilikenenje bhukala kwa lilobhe lya kweli limwalungushiwenje, yani, Ngani ja Mmbone.
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;
Ngani ja Mmbone jinapunda peleshela mboka na shuma pashilambolyo, malinga shiili kunngwenunji kutandubhila lyubha limwapilikenenje na kujimanya nema ja a Nnungu shijili ja kweli.
7 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,
Malinga shinnjigenywenje ga nema ja a Nnungu na a Epapula, bhatumishi ajetu bha a Kilishitu bhaakulupalika, kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Bhenebho bhatubhalanjile ga pinga kwenunji kumpatilenje naka Mbumu.
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,
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, numbe uwe tukapilikaneje tukaaleka kunnjujilanga kwa a Nnungu, nkupinga bhampanganje lunda na lumanyio lwa muntima.
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;
Penepo shinkombolanje tama malinga shibhapinga Bhakulungwa a Nnungu, nitenda yowe ikwaanonyela, ndamo jenunji shijipunde peleshela mboka ya kila namuna kwa itendi ya mmbone na shimpundanje kwaamanya a Nnungu.
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;
A Nnungu bhampanganje mashili kwa kombola kwabho kwa ukonjelo, nkupinga mwiipilililanje kwa kila shindu na kwiiluma na angalala.
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;
Mwaatendelanje eja Atati a Nnungu, bhantendilenje nkombolanje poshela miadi ja indu ibhaabhishilenje bhandunji bha ukonjelo, muupalume gwabho gwa shilangaya.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;
Na bhenebho bhashinkututapula mmashili ga lubhindu, nikutushoya na kutujinjiya muupalume uka mwana gwabho jubhakumpinga.
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins;
Kwa bhenebho tunagombolwa, nileshelelwa yambi yetu.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Na a Kilishitu ni shilanda shibhoneka, sha a Nnungu bhakaabhoneka, nantando jwa indu yowe ipengenywe.
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.
Pabha indu yowe ishipanganywa kupitila Bhenebho, kila shindu sha kunnungu na sha pa shilambolyo, indu ibhoneka na ikaabhoneka, ibhaga ashinanndenga, na majini na ashimaoka bhowe. Yowe puipengenywe na Bhenebho na kwa ligongo lyabho.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
Bhenebho bhaapali indu yowe ikanabhe pagwa, yowe inatama ukoto kwa lundana na bhenebho.
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.
Bhenebho ni akalongolele bha likanisha, malinga ntwe shiukuti longolela shiilu, numbe bhenebho ni shiumilo sha gumi gwa shene shiilusho. Bhenebho ni nantando bha gumi, bhantai kuyuka bhakaweje, nkupinga bhabhe bha ntai kwa indu yowe.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
Pabha a Nnungu bhashipinga kutimilila kwabho kowe kutame mubhanabhabho a Yeshu.
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.
Na kwa bhana bhabho, a Nnungu bhayene bhashilundanywa na indu yowe, kwa shiwo sha a Yeshu munshalabha, a Nnungu gubhatendile ulele na indu yowe, ibhe ya pa shilambolyo eu ya kunnungu.
21 You, who once were alienated and were hostile in your minds, doing evil deeds,
Mmanganyanji bhukala mwashinkutalikangana na a Nnungu nibha magongo, kwa ligongo lya ng'aniyo yenunji na itendi yenunji ya nyata.
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,
Ikabheje nnaino, kwa shiwo shika mwana gwabho atemi pa shilambolyo pano, a Nnungu bhashikunnundanyanga, nkupinga bhammikanje pamo na bhenebho, nninginji bha ukonjelo na bhammbonenji na wala sha gambwa,
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.
ikabheje nnapinjikwanga kwiishimilika ukoto nngulupai, wala nnakundanje kutendebhuywa nikunshoyanga nngulupai impatilenje pumwapilikenenje Ngani ja Mmbone. Nne a Pauli ni ntumishi jwa jene Ngani ja Mmbone, jilungwiywe pa shilambolyojo.
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;
Nnaino ngunaangalila kupotekwa kwangu kwa ligongo lyenunji, pabha ngunagumbashiya pashiilu shangu indu itubhile mmboteko ya a Kilishitu kwa ligongo lya likanisha, lili shiilu shabho.
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,
Nne njibha ntumishi jwa likanisha malinga shibhapanjle a Nnungu kumba, kwa pwaida jenunji. Nunguye lilobhe lyabho gwangali leka shindu,
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints. (aiōn g165)
indu ya nng'iyo ibhaishiywenje bhandu bhowe kuumila bhukala, ikabheje nnaino bhashikwaibhulilanga bhandunji bhabho bha ukonjelo. (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;
A Nnungu bhashinkupinga kwaibhulilanga bhanganyabho ga ukonjelo nkulu gwa gwene nng'iyogo, kubhandunji bhalinginji nngabha Bhayaudi. Nng'iyo gwene ni a Kilishitu, bhali mmitima jenunji. Na lyenelyo linalangula kuti shinkundikanywanje muukonjelo gwa a Nnungu.
28 whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ Jesus;
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, tunakwalunguya a Kilishitu kubhandu bhowe, kwaaleyanga na kwaajiganyanga bhandu bhowe kwa lunda lowe, nkupinga tunnjiyenajo kila mundu kwa a Nnungu ali aishimilishe nkulundana na a Kilishitu.
29 for which I also labor, struggling according to his power, which works in me mightily.
Kwa ligongo lyolyo, nne ngunalajilila tenda liengo, kwa mashili gungupegwa na a Kilishitu gakamula liengo muntima gwangu.
