Colossians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother,

Xoossaa shenen Kiristtoosi Yesuusa hawaare gidida Phawuloosinne nu ishaa Ximotiyoosi,

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.

Qolaasiyasa kataman de7iya Kiristtoosan geeshshatasinne ammanettida asaas xaafida kiitaa. Xoossaa nu Aawappe aadho keehatethaynne sarotethay hinttew gido.

3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Nuuni hinttew woossiya wode Xoossaa nu Godaa, Yesuus Kiristtoosa Aawa ubba wode galatoos.

4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which ye have] to all the saints,

Nuuni Kiristtoos Yesuusan de7iya hintte ammanuwanne geeshshata ubbaas de7iya hintte siiquwa si7ida.

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;

Hessa hintte oothiday hintte ufayssay salon hinttew naagettida gishossa. Hintte tuma kiitta gidida Wonggelaa koyro ammanida wode he ufayssaa si7ideta.

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:

Hintte he Wonggelaa si7ida wodenne Xoossaa aadho keehatethaa tumaa shaakki erida wodeppe doomidi hintte giddon haanidayssada biitta ubban diccishenne ayfishe de7ees.

7 As ye also learned from Epaphras our dear fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

Hintte hessa nuura issife Kiristtoosas oothiya ammanettida, dosettida Ephphaafirappe tamaarideta.

8 Who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

I hessa bolla gujjidi Ayyaanay hinttew immida siiquwabaa nuus odis.

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;

Hessa gisho, nuuni hinttebaa si7ida gallasaappe doomidi, Xoossay ba sheniya hinttena bessana melanne, Geeshsha Ayyaanay immiya eratethaaninne cinccatetha ubban hinttena kunthana mela ubba wode hinttew Xoossaa woossos.

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;

Hessadakka, Goday koyeyssada hintte daana mela, ubba wode iya ufayssana mela, lo77o ooso ubban hintte ayfe ayfana melanne Xoossaa aathi erishe diccana mela Xoossaa woossos.

11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness;

Xoossaa bonchcho wolqqay hintte ubbabaa genccanaadanne dandda7anaada ba minotethaa immidi hinttena ufaysso.

12 Giving thanks to the Father, who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Qassi geeshshata poo7o kawotethaa laattana mela hinttena oothida Aawa galatite.

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his beloved Son:

I nuna dhuma wolqqaafe ashshidi ba dosiya na7aa kawotethaako nuna ehis.

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:

Iyan wozettidi iya suuthan nagara atotethi demmida.

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature:

Kiristtoosi benttonna Xoossaas tuma leemiso. I medhetetha ubbaafe bayra.

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:

Ubbabay iya baggara medhettis. Benttiyabatinne benttonnabati, wolqqatinne godati, haareyssatinne maata aawati, saloninne sa7an de7iya ubbay iyawunne iya baggara medhettis.

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

I ubbabaappe kase de7ees. Ubbabay iyan ba bessan bessan oykettidi de7ees.

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; that in all [things] he may have the pre-eminence.

I ba asatethi gidida woosa keethas huu7e. I ubbaafe bolla gidanaw hayqoppe denddon sinthenne bayra.

19 For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fullness dwell;

Xoossay ba kumetha Xoossatethaara iyan daanaw koyis.

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.

Qassi masqaliya bolla gussida ba na7aa suuthan sarotethi medhdhidi saloninne sa7an de7iya ubbaa iya baggara baara sigethis.

21 And you, that were formerly alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled,

Hayssafe kase hintte qofaa iitatethay hinttena Xoossaafe shaakkisinne iyara morkke oothis; hintte oosoykka iita.

22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight:

Shin ha77i Kiristtoosi ashon hayqqida hayquwa baggara Xoossay hinttena baara sigethidi, geeshshata, borey baynnayssatanne xillota oothis.

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 hath been preached to every creature which is under heaven; of which I Paul am made a minister;

Hinttee, hintte ammanuwan qaaxxonna minnidinne xaphphidi daanaw bessees. Hintte Wonggelaa qaalaa si7ida wode ekkida ufayssaa minthi oykkite. He Wonggelay hintte si7idayssanne biitta ubban sabbakettidayssa. Ta, Phawuloosikka ha Wonggelaas oosanchcho gidas.

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:

Taani hintte gisho ha77i ekkiya waayiyan ufayttays. Kiristtoosi iya asatethi gidida woosa keethaas ekkida waayiya taani ta ashuwan polays.

25 Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God;

Xoossaa qaalaa hinttew polada odana mela taw imettida maatan woosa keethaas oosanchcho gidas.

26 [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages, and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (aiōn g165)

Ha qaalay kase aadhdhida wodiyan yeletethaa ubbaafe geemmidi de7is. Shin ha77i Xoossay ha xuuraa ammaniyaa ubbaas qonccisis. (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:

Xoossay Ayhude gidonna asaa giddon ha xuuraa bonchcho duretethaa qonccisis. Ikka bonchcho ufayssi gidida hintte giddon de7iya Kiristtoosa.

28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

Hessa gisho, issi issi asi Kiristtoosan kumetha asi oothidi shiishanaw cinccatetha ubban asaa tamaarssoninne zoren Kiristtoosabaa sabbakoos.

29 For which I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Xoossay ba gita wolqqan tanan oothiya gisho, ha77i gakkanaw iya wolqqan baaxetaysinne daaburays.
