Paulo, mtume wa Kristo Yesu, kwa mapenzi ya Mungu, na Timotheo ndugu yetu:
2 the/this/who in/on/among Colossae holy: saint and faithful brother in/on/among Christ grace you and peace away from God father me (and lord: God Jesus Christ *K*)
Kwa ndugu watakatifu na waaminifu katika Kristo, waishio Kolosai: Neema na amani zitokazo kwa Mungu Baba yetu ziwe nanyi.
3 to thank the/this/who God (and *ko*) father the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ always (about *NK(o)*) you to pray
Siku zote tunamshukuru Mungu, Baba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, tunapowaombea ninyi,
4 to hear the/this/who faith you in/on/among Christ Jesus and the/this/who love (which *N(k)O*) (to have/be *no*) toward all the/this/who holy: saint
kwa sababu tumesikia kuhusu imani yenu katika Kristo Yesu, na upendo wenu mlio nao kwa watakatifu wote:
5 through/because of the/this/who hope the/this/who to lay up you in/on/among the/this/who heaven which to hear beforehand in/on/among the/this/who word the/this/who truth the/this/who gospel
imani na upendo ule utokao katika tumaini mlilowekewa akiba mbinguni, na ambalo mmesikia habari zake katika neno la kweli, yaani, ile Injili
6 the/this/who be present toward you as/just as and in/on/among all the/this/who world (and *k*) to be to bear fruit (and to grow *NO*) as/just as and in/on/among you away from which day to hear and to come to know the/this/who grace the/this/who God in/on/among truth
iliyowafikia ninyi. Duniani kote Injili hii inazaa matunda na kuenea kama ilivyokuwa kwenu tangu siku ile mlipoisikia na kuielewa neema ya Mungu katika kweli yote.
7 as/just as (and *k*) to learn away from Epaphras the/this/who beloved fellow slave me which to be faithful above/for (you *NK(O)*) servant the/this/who Christ
Mlijifunza habari zake kutoka kwa Epafra, mtumishi mwenzetu mpendwa, yeye aliye mhudumu mwaminifu wa Kristo kwa ajili yenu,
8 the/this/who and to make clear me the/this/who you love in/on/among spirit/breath: spirit
ambaye pia ametuambia kuhusu upendo wenu katika Roho.
9 through/because of this/he/she/it and me away from which day to hear no to cease above/for you to pray and to ask in order that/to to fulfill the/this/who knowledge the/this/who will/desire it/s/he in/on/among all wisdom and understanding spiritual
Kwa sababu hii, tangu siku ile tuliposikia habari zenu, hatujakoma kuomba kwa ajili yenu na kumsihi Mungu awajaze ninyi maarifa ya mapenzi yake katika hekima yote ya kiroho na ufahamu.
10 to walk (you *k*) appropriately the/this/who lord: God toward all pleasing in/on/among all work good to bear fruit and to grow (toward *k*) (the/this/who knowledge *N(k)O*) the/this/who God
Nasi tunaomba haya ili mpate kuishi maisha yanayostahili mbele za Bwana, na mpate kumpendeza kwa kila namna: mkizaa matunda kwa kila kazi njema, mkikua katika kumjua Mungu,
11 in/on/among all power to empower according to the/this/who power the/this/who glory it/s/he toward all perseverance and patience with/after joy
mkiwa mmetiwa nguvu kwa uwezo wote kwa kadiri ya nguvu yake yenye utukufu, ili mpate kuwa na wingi wa saburi na uvumilivu. Nanyi kwa furaha
12 to thank the/this/who father the/this/who to qualify (you *N(K)O*) toward the/this/who part the/this/who lot the/this/who holy: saint in/on/among the/this/who light
mkimshukuru Baba, ambaye amewastahilisha kushiriki katika urithi wa watakatifu katika ufalme wa nuru.
13 which to rescue me out from the/this/who authority the/this/who darkness and to move toward the/this/who kingdom the/this/who son the/this/who love it/s/he
Kwa maana ametuokoa kutoka ufalme wa giza na kutuingiza katika ufalme wa Mwana wake mpendwa,
14 in/on/among which to have/be the/this/who redemption (through/because of the/this/who blood it/s/he *K*) the/this/who forgiveness the/this/who sin
ambaye katika yeye tunao ukombozi, yaani msamaha wa dhambi.
15 which to be image the/this/who God the/this/who invisible firstborn all creation
Yeye ni mfano wa Mungu asiyeonekana, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa viumbe vyote.
16 that/since: since in/on/among it/s/he to create the/this/who all (the/this/who *k*) in/on/among the/this/who heaven and (the/this/who *ko*) upon/to/against the/this/who earth: planet the/this/who visible and the/this/who invisible whether throne whether lordship whether beginning whether authority the/this/who all through/because of it/s/he and toward it/s/he to create
Kwake yeye vitu vyote vilivyoko mbinguni na juu ya nchi viliumbwa: vitu vinavyoonekana na visivyoonekana, viwe ni viti vya enzi au falme, au wenye mamlaka au watawala; vitu vyote viliumbwa na yeye na kwa ajili yake.
17 and it/s/he to be before all and the/this/who all in/on/among it/s/he to commend
Yeye alikuwepo kabla ya vitu vyote, na katika yeye vitu vyote vinashikamana pamoja.
18 and it/s/he to be the/this/who head the/this/who body the/this/who assembly which to be (the/this/who *o*) beginning firstborn out from the/this/who dead in order that/to to be in/on/among all it/s/he be first
Yeye ndiye kichwa cha mwili, yaani kanisa, naye ndiye mwanzo na mzaliwa wa kwanza kutoka kwa wafu, ili yeye awe mkuu katika vitu vyote.
19 that/since: since in/on/among it/s/he to delight all the/this/who fulfillment to dwell
Kwa kuwa ilimpendeza Mungu kwamba utimilifu wake wote ukae ndani yake,
20 and through/because of it/s/he to reconcile the/this/who all toward it/s/he to make peace through/because of the/this/who blood the/this/who cross it/s/he through/because of it/s/he whether the/this/who upon/to/against the/this/who earth: planet whether the/this/who (in/on/among *NK(o)*) the/this/who heaven
na kwa njia yake aweze kuvipatanisha vitu vyote na yeye mwenyewe, viwe ni vitu vilivyo duniani au vilivyo mbinguni, kwa kufanya amani kwa damu yake, iliyomwagika msalabani.
21 and you once/when to be to alienate and enemy the/this/who mind in/on/among the/this/who work the/this/who evil/bad now then (to reconcile *NK(O)*)
Hapo kwanza mlikuwa mmetengana na Mungu, na mlikuwa adui zake katika nia zenu kwa sababu ya mienendo yenu mibaya.
22 in/on/among the/this/who body the/this/who flesh it/s/he through/because of the/this/who death to stand by you holy and blameless and irreproachable before it/s/he
Lakini sasa Mungu amewapatanisha ninyi kwa njia ya mwili wa Kristo kupitia mauti, ili awalete mbele zake mkiwa watakatifu, bila dosari wala lawama,
23 if indeed to remain/keep on the/this/who faith to found and steadfast and not to shift away from the/this/who hope the/this/who gospel which to hear the/this/who to preach in/on/among all (the/this/who *k*) creation the/this/who by/under: under the/this/who heaven which to be I/we Paul servant
ikiwa mnaendelea katika imani yenu mkiwa imara na thabiti, pasipo kuliacha tumaini lililoahidiwa katika Injili. Hii ndiyo ile Injili mliyoisikia, ambayo imehubiriwa kwa kila kiumbe chini ya mbingu, na ambayo mimi Paulo nimekuwa mtumwa wake.
24 now to rejoice in/on/among the/this/who suffering (me *k*) above/for you and to fill again the/this/who deficiency the/this/who pressure the/this/who Christ in/on/among the/this/who flesh me above/for the/this/who body it/s/he which to be the/this/who assembly
Sasa nafurahia kule kuteseka kwangu kwa ajili yenu, na katika mwili wangu ninatimiliza yale yaliyopungua katika mateso ya Kristo kwa ajili ya mwili wake, ambao ni kanisa.
25 which to be I/we servant according to the/this/who management the/this/who God the/this/who to give me toward you to fulfill the/this/who word the/this/who God
Mimi nimekuwa mtumishi wa kanisa kwa wajibu alionipa Mungu ili kuwaletea ninyi Neno la Mungu kwa ukamilifu:
26 the/this/who mystery the/this/who to conceal away from the/this/who an age: age and away from the/this/who generation (now *N(k)O*) then to reveal the/this/who holy: saint it/s/he (aiōn g165)
Hii ni siri iliyokuwa imefichika tangu zamani na kwa vizazi vingi, lakini sasa imefunuliwa kwa watakatifu. (aiōn g165)
27 which to will/desire the/this/who God to make known (which? the/this/who *N(k)O*) riches the/this/who glory the/this/who mystery this/he/she/it in/on/among the/this/who Gentiles (which *N(k)O*) to be Christ in/on/among you the/this/who hope the/this/who glory
Kwao, Mungu amechagua kujulisha miongoni mwa watu wa Mataifa utukufu wa utajiri wa siri hii, ambayo ni Kristo ndani yenu, tumaini la utukufu.
28 which me to proclaim to admonish all a human and to teach all a human in/on/among all wisdom in order that/to to stand by all a human perfect in/on/among Christ (Jesus *K*)
Yeye ndiye tunayemtangaza, tukimwonya kila mtu na kumfundisha kila mtu kwa hekima yote ili tuweze kumleta kila mmoja akiwa amekamilika katika Kristo.
29 toward which and to labor to struggle according to the/this/who active energy it/s/he the/this/who be active in/on/among I/we in/on/among power
Kwa ajili ya jambo hili, ninajitaabisha, nikijitahidi kwa kadiri ya nguvu zake ambazo hutenda kazi ndani yangu kwa uweza mwingi.
