Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Pauro, mupostori waKristu Jesu nokuda kwaMwari, naTimoti hama yedu,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ [which are] at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
kuhama tsvene uye dzakatendeka dziri muna Kristu paKorose: Nyasha norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba ngazvive nemi.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Tinogara tichivonga Mwari, Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, patinokunyengetererai,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,
nokuti takanzwa nezvokutenda kwenyu muna Kristu Jesu uye nezvorudo rwamunarwo kuvatsvene vose,
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
kutenda norudo zvinobva patariro yamakachengeterwa kudenga uye iyo yamakatonzwa nezvayo mushoko rezvokwadi, iro vhangeri
6 which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as [it doth] in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
rakasvika kwamuri. Munyika yose vhangeri iri riri kubereka zvibereko uye richikura sezvarakanga richiita pakati penyu kubvira pazuva ramakarinzwa uye mukanzwisisa nyasha dzaMwari muzvokwadi yose.
7 even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
Makazvidzidza kubva kuna Epafrodhitasi, muranda pamwe chete nesu anodikanwa, mushumuri akatendeka waKristu nokuda kwedu,
8 who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
uye akatiudzawo nezvorudo rwenyu muMweya.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Nokuda kwaizvozvi, kubvira pazuva ratakanzwa nezvenyu, hatina kurega kukunyengetererai tichikumbira Mwari kuti akuzadzei nokuziva kuda kwake kubudikidza nouchenjeri hwose hwomweya, uye nokunzwisisa.
10 to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Uye tinonyengeterera izvi kuitira kuti mugare upenyu hwakafanira uye kuti mumufadze iye mune zvose: muchibereka zvibereko mumabasa ose akanaka, muchikura mukuziva Mwari,
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;
muchisimbiswa nesimba rose maererano nokubwinya kwesimba rake kuti muve nokutsunga kukuru uye nomwoyo murefu, muchifara kwazvo
12 giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;
muchivonga ivo Baba, vakaita kuti mukodzere kugovana nhaka yavatsvene muumambo hwechiedza.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
Nokuti akatinunura kubva pasimba rerima akatiuyisa kuumambo hwoMwanakomana waanoda,
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
watine dzikinuro maari, iko kuregererwa kwezvivi.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
Ndiye mufananidzo waMwari asingaonekwi, dangwe rezvisikwa zvose.
16 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;
Nokuti zvinhu zvose zvakasikwa naye: zviri kudenga nezviri panyika, zvinoonekwa nezvisingaonekwi, zvigaro zvoushe kana masimba kana vatongi kana vane simba; zvinhu zvose zvakasikwa naye uye zvakasikirwa iye.
17 and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.
Iye anotangira zvose, uye zvinhu zvose zvinobatana maari.
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.
Ndiye musoro womuviri, iyo kereke; ndiye wokutanga uye ndiye dangwe ravakamuka kubva kuvakafa, kuitira kuti pazvinhu zvose iye ave mukuru.
19 For it was the good pleasure [of the Father] that in him should all the fulness dwell;
Nokuti Mwari akafadzwa nazvo kuti kuzara kwake kwose kugare maari,
20 and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, [I say], whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.
uye kubudikidza naye ayananise kwaari zvinhu zvose, zvingava zvinhu zviri panyika kana zvinhu zviri kudenga, nokuita rugare kubudikidza neropa rake, rakateurwa pamuchinjikwa.
21 And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, yet now hath he reconciled
Kare makanga muri vatorwa kuna Mwari uye maiva vavengi mupfungwa dzenyu nokuda kwetsika dzenyu dzakaipa.
22 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:
Asi zvino akakuyananisai nomuviri waKristu kubudikidza norufu kuti akuisei pamberi pake muri vatsvene, vasina chavanopomerwa uye makasunungurwa kubva pakupomerwa
23 if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.
kana muchirambira mukutenda kwenyu, makasimbiswa uye makasimba, musingazungunuswi kubva patariro iri muvhangeri. Ndiro vhangeri ramakanzwa uye rakaparidzirwa kuzvisikwa zvose pasi pedenga, uye iro ini, Pauro, ndakaitwa muranda nokuda kwaro.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church;
Zvino ndinofara mune zvamakatamburirwa imi, uye ndinozadzisa munyama yangu izvo zvichiri kushayikwa maererano nokutambudzika kwaKristu, nokuda kwomuviri wake, iyo kereke.
25 whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfill the word of God,
Ini ndava muranda wayo nokutumwa kwandakaitwa naMwari kuti ndiise kwamuri shoko raMwari nokuzara kwaro,
26 [even] the mystery which hath been hid from all ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, (aiōn g165)
chakavanzika chakanga chakavigwa kubvira kare uye kumarudzi namarudzi, asi zvino zvakazarurirwa vatsvene. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Kwavari, Mwari akasarudza kuti azivise pakati pavaHedheni, pfuma inobwinya yechakavanzika ichi, iye Kristu mamuri, tariro yokubwinya.
28 whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;
Tinomuparidza, tichirayira uye tichidzidzisa munhu wose nouchenjeri hwose, kuitira kuti tisvitse munhu wose akakwana muna Kristu.
29 whereunto I labour also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Nokuda kwaizvozvi, ndinoshanda nesimba, ndichirwisa nesimba rake rose, rinoshanda zvikuru mandiri.
