Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Phaawulos isa fedhii Waaqaatiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼee fi obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos irraa,
2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ who are in Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Gara qulqulloota, obboloota Kiristoosiin amanamoo taʼan kanneen Qolosaayis jiraataniitti: Abbaa keenya Waaqa biraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
3 We always give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ when we pray for you,
Nu yommuu isiniif kadhannutti Waaqa, Abbaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos yeroo hunda ni galateeffanna;
4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints,
amantii isin Kiristoos Yesuusitti qabdanii fi jaalala isin qulqulloota hundaaf qabdan sana dhageenyeerraatii;
5 the faith and love that spring from the hope that is laid up for you in heaven. You have already heard about this hope in the message of the truth of the gospel
kunis sababii abdii samii keessatti isinii kuufame sanaatiif; isin waaʼee abdii kanaa duraanuu dubbii dhugaa, wangeela keessatti dhageessaniirtu;
6 that has come to you. This gospel has gone out into all the world, where it is bearing fruit and increasing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.
wangeelli kunis isin bira gaʼeera. Wangeelli kunis gaafa isin isa dhageessanii dhugumaan ayyaana Waaqaa hubattanii jalqabee akkuma isin gidduutti hojjechaa ture sana addunyaa guutuu keessattis ija naqachaa fi guddachaa jira.
7 You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf
Kanas tajaajilaa jaallatamaa hidhata keenya taʼe Ephaafiraa irraa barattaniirtu; innis Kiristoosiif tajaajilaa amanamaa taʼee iddoo keenya kan buʼee dha;
8 and who also told us about your love in the Spirit.
inni waaʼee jaalala keessan kan Hafuurri isinii kenne sanaas nutti himeera.
9 For this reason, from the day we heard this, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
Sababii kanaaf nu gaafa waaʼee keessan dhageenyee jalqabnee isinii kadhachuu fi akka Waaqni karaa ogummaatii fi hubannaa hafuuraa hundaan beekumsa fedhii isaatiin isin guutu kadhachuu hin dhiifne.
10 so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord with every desire to please him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Kunis akka isin hojii gaarii hundaan ija naqachaa, Waaqa beekuudhaanis guddachaa, jireenya Gooftaaf maluu fi kan karaa hundaan isa gammachiisu jiraattaniif;
11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, so that you may have great endurance and patience with joy;
isinis jajjabinaa fi obsa guddaa akka qabaattaniif, akkuma aangoo isaa ulfina qabeessa sanaatti humna hundaan jabaachaa, gammadaas
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Waaqa Abbaa kan akka isin mootummaa ifaa keessatti qulqulloota wajjin dhaala keessatti hirmaattan isin dandeessise sana galateeffadhaa.
13 He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
Inni taayitaa dukkanaa jalaa nu baasee gara mootummaa Ilma inni jaallatuutti nu dabarseeraatii;
14 in whom we have redemption, the remission of sins.
nus isumaan furama, jechuunis dhiifama cubbuu arganneerra.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Inni fakkaattii Waaqa hin mulʼanne sanaa ti; uumama hundaafis hangafa.
16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions, rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
Wanni hundinuu isumaan uumameetii: Wanni samii keessaa fi lafa irraa, wanni mulʼatuu fi hin mulʼanne, teessoowwan yookaan humnoonni yookaan bulchitoonni yookaan taayitaawwan, wanni hundinuu isumaan, isumaaf uumaman.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Inni waan hunda dura jira; wanni hundinuu isumaan wal qabatee dhaabata.
18 He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in everything he may be preeminent.
Inni mataa dhagna isaa, mataa waldaa kiristaanaa ti; waan hunda irratti ol aantummaa akka qabaatuufis inni kan jalqabaa ti; warra duʼan keessaa kaafamuudhaanis hangafa.
19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
Waaqni guutummaan isaa hundi isa keessa jiraachuu isaatti gammadeeraatii;
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace through the blood of his cross.
dhiiga isaa kan fannoo irratti dhangalaʼe sanaanis nagaa buusuudhaan waan lafa irra jiru yookaan waan samii keessa jiru hunda karaa isaatiin ofitti araarseeraatii.
21 At one time you were alienated from God and hostile in your minds because of your evil works. But now God has reconciled you to himself
Isinis dur amala keessan hamaa sanaan Waaqatti orma taatanii yaada keessaniinis diinota turtan.
22 through the death of Christ in his physical body, in order to bring you into his own presence as holy, unblemished, and above reproach,
Amma garuu qulqulloota mudaa hin qabnee fi warra hirʼina hin qabne godhee fuula isaa duratti isin dhiʼeessuuf dhagna foon Kiristoosiin, karaa duʼa isaatiin isin araarseera;
23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, without shifting away from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has been preached in all creation under heaven, and of this gospel I, Paul, have become a servant.
kunis yoo isin amantii keessaniin itti fuftan, yoo jabaattanii dhaabattanii fi yoo isin abdii wangeelaa irraa hin sochoone taʼa. Wangeelli kunis isuma isin dhageessanii fi isuma samii gaditti uumama hundatti lallabamee dha; ani Phaawulosis wangeeluma kanaaf tajaajilaa taʼeera.
24 I rejoice now in my sufferings for you, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church.
Ani amma isiniif dhiphachuu kootti nan gammada; waan dhiphina Kiristoos dhagna isaatiif jechuunis waldaa kiristaanaatiif jedhee dhiphate sana keessaa hirʼates ani foon kootiin nan guuta.
25 I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,
Ergama Waaqni natti kenneen ani akka dubbii Waaqaa guutummaatti isinii dhiʼeessuuf tajaajilaa waldaa kiristaanaa taʼeera;
26 the mystery that has been hidden for ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. (aiōn g165)
dubbiin kunis icciitii barootaa fi dhaloota jalaa dhokfamee turee dha; amma garuu qulqulloota isaatti mulʼifameera. (aiōn g165)
27 To them God resolved to make known how great among the Gentiles are the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Waaqni badhaadhummaan ulfina icciitii kanaa hammam guddaa akka taʼe Namoota Ormaa gidduutti qulqulloota isaatti beeksisuu filateera; icciitiin kunis Kiristoos, abdii ulfinaa isa isin keessa jiruu dha.
28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ Jesus.
Nus isuma lallabna; nama hunda kan guutumaan guutuutti Kiristoositti bilchaataa taʼe akka dhiʼeessinuuf, tokkoo tokkoo namaa ogummaa hundaan gorsaa barsiisna.
29 To this end I labor, striving according to his energy that is powerfully at work within me.
Kanaafuu ani akkuma hojii humna isaa kan ciminaan na keessatti hojjetu sanaatti carraaqaa nan dhimma.
