< Colossians 1 >

1 Paul an apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God and Timothy the brother
Pauli n'tumwa ghwa Kiristu ghwa mapenzi gha k'yara, ni Timoti ndongo bhitu,
2 To those in Colossae saints and faithful brothers in Christ: Grace to you and peace from God [the] Father of us (and Lord Jesus Christ. *K*)
kwa bhaumini ni bhalongo bhaaminifu mu Kiristu bha bhaji'hele kolosai. Neema ij'helayi kwa mwenga, ni amani kuliomela kwa k'yara dadi yitu.
3 We give thanks to the God (and *ko*) Father of the Lord of us Jesus Christ continually (for *NK(o)*) you praying,
Twih'omesya kabhombelilu kwa k'yara, Dadi ghwa Bwana bhitu Yesu Kristu, na twikabhas'omela mara siyoha.
4 having heard of the faith of you in Christ Jesus and the love (that *N(k)O*) (you have *no*) toward all the saints,
Tup'heliki imani j'hamwenga mu Yesu Kristu ni luganu lwa mj'he na lu kwa bhala bhoha bhabhatengibhu kwa ndabha j'ha k'yara.
5 because of the hope which is being laid up for you in the heavens which you heard of before in the word of truth the gospel
Muyele ni luganu obho kwa ndabha j'ha litaraja lya bhuhakika lyalibhekibhu kunani kwa ndabha j'ha mwenga. Mwap'heliki kuhusu litaraja e'lu lyabhuhakika kabla j'ha lineno lya bhukweli, injili,
6 which is being present unto you, even as also in all the world (and *k*) it is bearing fruit (and increasing *NO*) even as also among you from the day you heard and you knew the grace of God in truth,
ambaho j'haj'hididili kwa mwenga. Injili ej'he j'hihogola litunda na liyenela pakisu poha. ij'hele j'hik'heta naha mugati mwah mwenga piano kuliomela ligono mp'heliki ni kumanyila kuhusu neema j'ha k'yara mubhu kuweli.
7 even as (and *k*) you learned from Epaphras the beloved fellow bond-servant of us, who is faithful on behalf of (of you *NK(O)*) a servant of Christ,
E'jhe ndo injili j'ha mumanyili kuh'oma kwa Epafra n'ganwa ghwitu ntumwili njitu, ambajhe ndo n'tumishi n'kweli ghwa kiristu kwa ndabha j'ha twenga.
8 the [one] also having made known to us your love in [the] Spirit.
Epafra auk'hetili umenyikanayi kwa tete luganu lwa mwenga mu Roho.
9 Because of this also we ourselves from the day we heard, not cease for you praying and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of Him in all wisdom and in understanding spiritual
Kwa ndabha j'ha luganu o'lo, kuliomela ligono lyatup'eleghe naha, tulekili lepi kubha j'ohomela. Tujhele twis'oma kuj'ha mbeta kumemesibhiwa ni bhuj'huzi bhuwa mapenzi ghake muhekima yioha ni bhumanyanu bhwa Roho.
10 to walk (you *k*) worthily of the Lord in all pleasing in every work good bringing forth fruit and growing (into *k*) (knowledge *N(k)O*) of God,
Tujhele twis'oma kuj'ha mbeta kugenda kwa j'hilondeka kwa Bwana much NJ'hela syasilondeka. Tuyele twisoma kuj'ha mmbeta kuhogola litunda mu kila lihengu linofu nikuj'ha mbeta kuj'ha mu maarifa gha K'yara.
11 with all power being strengthened according to the might glorious of Him unto all endurance and patience with joy.
Twisoma mbwesiyayi kusopibhiwa ng'ofu mu kila bhuwezo kulengana ni ng'hofusya bhutukufu bhwake mu bhuvumilivu ni bhwabhwisindamalu bhwoha.
12 giving thanks to the Father the [One] having qualified (you *N(K)O*) for the share of the inheritance of the saints in the light,
Twis'oma kuj'ha, kwa kuhobhoka, m'beta kuh'omesya kabhombesitu kwa dadi, yeabhakhetili mwenga muyelayi ni sehemu mu urithi bhwa bhaumini mu nuru.
13 who has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred [us] into the kingdom of the Son the beloved of Him,
Atuokwili kulioma much bhutawala bhwa ngisi nikutusamisya much bhufalme bhwa mwana munu n'ganwa.
14 in whom we have redemption (through the blood of him *K*) the forgiveness of sins;
Mwa mwana munu tuyele ni bhukombozi msamaha bhwa dhambi.
15 [He] is [the] image of the God invisible, [the] firstborn over all creation;
Muana ndo mfuano bhwa K`yara yaibela kubhonekana. Ndo ghwa kuanza kuhogoleka au bhuumbaji bhuoha.
16 because in Him were created all things (which [are] *k*) in the heavens and (*ko*) upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things through Him and unto Him have been created,
kwa kuj'ha kwa muene fenu fyoha fya bho mbiki, f'hela fya fiye kumbinguni ni fya fiyela paduniani, f'hemu fyafibhonekana ni fyafibela kubhonekana. Ikayela ifya enzi au mamlaka au bhutawala au bhwabhuye ni nghofu, f'hemu fyoha fyabhombibhu ni muene kwa ndabha j'ha muene.
17 And He himself is before all things, and all things in Him have held together,
Muene aj'hele kabula j'ha f'hemu fyoha, ni kuj'ha kwa muene f'hemu fyoha fikamulana pamonga.
18 And He himself is the head of the body the church; who is (the *o*) beginning, firstborn out from the dead, so that may be in all things He himself holding preeminence;
Na muene ndo mutual ghwa mbhele yaani kanisa, muene ndo mwanzo ni mzalibhwa ghwa kubhwandelu kulioma mu bhafu, henu, ayele ni nafasi j'ha kubhwandelu mu f'henu fyoha.
19 because in Him was pleased all the fullness to dwell
Kwa kuj'ha K'yara aganilikuj'ha bhutimilifu bhwake bhwoha bhutamai mugati mwah muene.
20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of the cross of Him, through Him whether the [things] on the earth or the [things] (in *NK(o)*) the heavens;
Ni kupatanisya f'hemu fyoha kwa muene kwa NJ'hela j'ha mwanamunu. K'yara abhombili amani kup'hetela muasi bhwa nsalaba bhwake. k'yara apatanisi f'henu fyoha kwa muene, ikayelai ni f'henu fya paduniani, au f'henu fyafya kumbinguni.
21 And you once being alienated and hostile in mind in the deeds evil, now however (He has reconciled [You] *NK(O)*)
Ni mwenga pia, kwa bhwakati bhumonga mwaj'hele bhageni kwa K'yara na mwaj'hele bhasomani bhamuene much akili ni matendo ghaghaleli kuj'ha manufu.
22 in the body of the flesh of Him through death to present you holy and unblemished and blameless before Him.
Lakini henu abhapatanisi mu enga mu mb'hele bhwa muene kup'hetela kufwa. Akhetili neha idi kubhelete mwenga bhatakatifu, bhabhabelikuya ni lawama ni bilateral dosari palongolo pa muene.
23 if indeed you continue in the faith established and firm and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which having been proclaimed in all (*k*) creation under heaven, of which have become I myself Paul a minister.
Kama mbete kuyendelela mu imani ya mkomele ni j'ha kinofu, bilateral kubhosibhwa patali kulioma mutaraja lya bhaisisya lya injili j'hamu yipeliki. Enya ndo injili ambaho kwayo nene Pauli, njele mmbombeli.
24 Now I rejoice in the sufferings (of mine *k*) for you and I am filling up that which is lacking of the tribulations of Christ in the flesh of mine for the body of Him which is the church;
Henu nihobhokili matesu ghangu kwa ndabha j'hinu. Nani ni timisya mu m'mbele bhuangu kyakip'honghoka kwa matesu gha Kiristu kwa ndabha j'ha m'mbele bhwa muene, ambabho ndo kanisa.
25 of which became I myself a minister according to the administration of God which having been given me toward you to complete the word of God,
Nene ne mmbombeli bhwa likanisa e`le sawasawa ni bhua jibu bhwanipelibhu kuh'oma kwa K'yara kwa ndabha j'hinu, kulimemesya lilobhi lya K'yara.
26 the mystery which hidden from the ages and from the generations, (now *N(k)O*) however having been manifested to the saints of Him; (aiōn g165)
O'bho ndo bhukweli bhwa siri j'haiyele j'hifighibhu kwa miaka mingi ni kwavizazi. Lakini henu j'hifunuhbhu kwa bhona bhabhikiera kwa muene. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom has willed God to make known (what the *N(k)O*) riches of the glory of the mystery this among the Gentiles, (which *N(k)O*) is Christ in you, the hope of glory;
Ni kwa bhala ambabho K'yara alondeghe kufunula kwa kuj'hele ni bhutajiri bhwa utukufu bhwa siri j'ha bhukweli O'bho mugati mu mataifa. Ndo kujobha Kristu ajihele mugati mwinu, bhujasiri bhwa bhutukufu bhwa wihida.
28 whom we ourselves preach admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that we may present every man perfect in Christ (Jesus *K*)
O'yo ndo j'hatukantangasya. Tukansihi kila munu, ni kummanyisya kila munu kwa hekima j'hioha, ili kwamba tundetaj'hi kila munu nkamilifu kwa Kristu.
29 Unto this also I toil striving according to the energy of Him who is working in me myself in power.
Kwa ndabha e`jhe nene nikajitenga ni kujitangatila kul'engana ni nghofu j'ha muene j'hajhifuanya mbombo mugati mwa nene mu bhuweza.
