Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
uPaulo, Mutung'waa wang'wa Yesu Kristo ku ulowa nuang'wa Itunda, nu Timotheo muluna nuitu,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colosse: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
ku a huiili ni aluna ni ahuiili munng'wa Kristo niakoli ku Kolosai. Ukende utule kitalanyu, nu ulyuuku kupuma kung'wa Itunda Tata nuitu.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Kuupumya ulumbi kung'wa Itunda, Tata nua Mukulu itu uYesu Kristo, nu kumulompeela nkua ku nkua.
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
Kigulye u uhuiili nuanyu mung'wa Yesu Kristo nu ulowa ni muukete ku awo ihi nai abaguwe kunsoko ang'wa Itunda.
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye have heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
Mukete u ulowa uwu kunsoko a isumbiilyo nila tai ni liikilwe kilunde kunsoko itu. Ai mijaa kutula isumbiilyo nilanso nila tai ze ikili mu lukani nula tai, Nkani ninza,
6 Which is come to you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
naiza luzile kitalanyu. Nkani ninza izi itugaa nkali hangi yenelaa mu unkumbigulu wihi. Yatulaa kituma iti ga mukati anyu puma luhiku nai migulye nu kimanyisa kutula ukende nuang'wa Itunda mu tai.
7 As ye also learned from Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
Izi zizo nkani ni nziza nai mimanyisilye kupuma kung'wa Epafra, mulowa nuitu munyamilimo miitu, naiza munyamilimo nu muhuiili nuang'wa Kristo ku badala itu.
8 Who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Epafra ai witumile ukumuke kitaitu u ulowa nuanyu mu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Ku nsoko a ulowa uwu, puma uluhiku nai kigulye iti, kukili leka kumulompeela. Katuile kulompa kina mikizuligwa nu uhugu nua ulowa nuakwe mu upolo wihi nu ulingi nua nkolo.
10 That ye may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Katuile kilompaa kina mikagenda mu ugimya nua Mukulu mu nzila ni izipie. Katuile kilompaa kina mikapaa nkali mu kila ntendo ninza ni kina mikatula mu uhugu nuang'wa Itunda.
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Ku umulompa muhume kuikilwa i ngulu mu kila uhumi kuniganiila ni ngulu ni ikulyo nilakwe mu ugimya nu ugigimiilya wihi.
12 Giving thanks to the Father, who hath made us qualified to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Ku ulompa kina, ki iloelya, mukupumya ilumbi kung'wa Tata, nai umitumile unyenye muhume kutula ni ipatyo mu usali nua ahuiili mu welu.
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:
Wakugunilee kupuma mu uhumi nua kiti nu ku uhamilya mu utemi nua ng'wana nuakwe mulowa.
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Mu ng'wana nuakwe kukete u uguniki, ulekelwa nua milandu.
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation:
uNg'wana ingi mpyani ang'wa Itunda ni shanga wigelaa. Ingi mulelwa nua ng'wandyo nua u umbwaa wihi.
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are upon earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Ku nsoko ku ng'waakwe intu yihi ai iumbilwe, izo ni ikoli kilunde nizo ni ikoli mihi, intu ni yigeeleka nizo ni shanga yigeeleka, anga itule ingi ya ukulu ang'wi ngulu ang'wi uhumi ang'wi anya ngulu, intu yihi ai iumbilwe nu ng'wenso ku nsoko akwe.
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
uNg'wenso izaa ukoli ze ikili i intu yihi, nu mu ng'waakwe intu yihi iambinkanile palung'wi.
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 may have the preeminence.
Nu ng'wenso yuyo itwe nila muili ingi itekeelo, nuanso ingi ng'wandyo hangi mulelwa nua ng'wandyo kupuma mukati a ashi, iti, ukete lyoma nila ng'wandyo mukati a intu yihi.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
Ku nsoko Itunda ai uloeeigwe kina ukaminkiili nuakwe wihi wikie mukati akwe,
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself; by him, I say, whether they are things on earth, or things in heaven.
nu kulamula i intu yihi kung'waakwe ku nzila a ng'wana nuakwe. Itunda ai witumile u ulyuuku kukiila sakami a ikota nila mpaga ni lakwe. Itunda ai ulamue i intu yihi kitalakwe mukola, anga itule ingi intu nia mihi ang'wi intu nia kilunde.
21 And you, that were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Nu nyenye ga, ku itungo ling'wi aimatuile aziila kung'wa Itunda hangi ai matulaa mialugu akwe mu mahala ni ntendo nia ubii.
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Kuiti itungili wamulamue unyenye ku muili nuakwe kukiila nsha. Ai witumile iti kumuleta unyenye ni mielu, ni agila u usokigwa nangi bila kimala ntogeela akwe,
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; of which I Paul am made a minister;
anga mulongoleke mu u huiili, nai makomigwaa nu kutula miakomo, kutili kuhegigwa kuli kupuma mi isumbiilyo nila ugimya nila nkani ninza nai muigulye. Izi zizo nkani ninza nai itanantigwe ku kila muntu nai u umbilwe pihi i ilunde. Izi zizo nkani ninza naiza ku nanso unene, Paulo, natuile ni munyamilimo.
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:
Itungili niloeye u lwago nu lane ku nsoko anyu. Nu nene nakondeelya mu muil nuane ni kikepile ku ntendo niang'wa Kristo ku nsoko a muili nuakwe. naza ingi itekeelo.
25 Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Unene ingi munyamulimo nua itekeelo ili, kuniganiila nu witumi nai ninkiigwe kupuma kung'wa Itunda ku nsoko anyu, kulizulya u lukani nu lang'wa Itunda.
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is revealed to his saints: (aiōn g165)
Uwu ingi tainua ki nkunku nai watulaa upihilwe ku myaka idu nu ku ulelwa. Kuiti itungili wakunukulwa ku ihi ni ahuiie mu ng'waakwe' (aiōn g165)
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Ingi ku awo naza Itunda uloilwe ku kunukula kuyili u ugoli nua ikulyo ila ki nkunku nila tai iyi mukati a Anyaingu. Ingi kina uKristo umoli mukati anyu, ugimya nua ikulyo nilizile
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Uyu yuyo ni ku umutanantya. Ku umukania kila muntu, nu kumumanyisa kila muntu ku upolo wihi, iti kina kumulete kila muntu ukondaniie kung'wa Kristo.
29 For which I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Kunsoko iyi, Unene nkamatikile nu kukazana kuniganiila ni ngulu niakwe ni itumaa mulimo mukati ane mu uhumi
