Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother,
Paulo, Intumwa ya Yesu Kristo mu kwenda kwa Nyamuanga, na Timotheo owasu,
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 bhekilisha na bhasu abheikanyibhwa mu Kristo bhanu bhali Kolosai. Echigongo chibhe kwemwe, no mulembe okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Echisosha isime ku Nyamuanga, Lata wa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo, na echibhasabhila kwiya kafu.
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which ye have] to all the saints,
Chonguywe elikilisha lyemwe mu Yesu Kristo no kwenda kunu mulinakwo ku bhaliya bhona bhanu bhauywe ingulu ya Nyamuanga.
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;
Muli no kwenda kunu kulwo kwiikanya kwe chimali kunu mwabhikiywe Mulwile ingulu yemwe. Mwonguywe ingulu yo kwiikanya okwo okwe chimali guchali mu musango gwo kumasha, omusango gwo bhwana,
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:
gunu gwijile kwemwe. Omusango gwo bhwana gunu gwibhuye litwasho na kuswila Chalo chona. One eikola kutya mwiimwe okusokelela ku lusiku lunu mwonguywe no kwiingila okulubhana ne chigongo cha Nyamuanga mu kumasha.
7 As ye also learned from Epaphras our dear fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
Gunu nigwo omusango gwo bhwana gunu mweigiye okusoka ku Epafra, omwendwa weswe omukosi wejasu, unu ali mukosi mwiikanyibhwa wa Kristo kulweswe.
8 Who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Epafra agukolele gumenyekane kweswe okwenda kwemwe mu Mwoyo.
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;
Kunsonga yo kwenda kunu, okusokelela ku lusiku lunu chonguywe kutya, chichali kusinga kubhasabhila. Echibhalikisho ati mwijusibhwe obhwenge bhwo kwenda kwaye mu bhwengeso bhwona no bhumenyi bhwe chinyamwoyo.
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;
Echisabhwa ati mulibhatile mu bhwiikanyibhwa obhwa Latabhugenyi mu ngendo ejo jikondelesishe. Echisabhwa ati omwibhula litwasho mu bhuli chikolwa che kisi na ati omukula mu bhumenyi bhwa Nyamuanga.
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness;
Echisabhwa ati mutule okutendwa amanaga mu bhuli bhutulo okulubhana na managa ya likusho lyaye mu kwigumilisha na mu kwikomesha Leona.
12 Giving thanks to the Father, who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Echisabhwa ati, mu kukondelwa, omusosha isime ku Lata, unu abhakola emwe mutule okubha ebhala mu kulya omwandu gwa bhekilisha mu bhwelu.
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his beloved Son:
Achikisishe okusoka mu bhuteile bhwe chisute no kuchifululila mu bhukama bhwo Mwana waye omwendwa.
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:
Mu Mwana waye chili no kwelesha, unu ali musasisi we bhibhibhi.
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature:
Omwana ni chijejekanyo cha Nyamuanga unu atakubhonekana. Ni wo bhubhele mu bhumogi bhwona.
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:
Kulwo kubha ku mwene ebhinu bhyona bhyayangilwe, bhilya bhinu bhili mu lwile na bhinu bhilimo mu chalo, bhinu ebhibhonekana na bhinu bhitakubhonekana. Bhikabha ni bhya chikama amwi bhya bhutulo amwi bhya bhutungi amwi ebhya managa, ebhinu bhyona bhiyangilwe no mwene na ingulu yaye.
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
omwene niwe atangatiye ebhinu bhyona, na mu mwene bhinu bhyona bhigwatene amwi.
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.
No mwene niwe mutwe gwo mubhili niyo ikanisa, mwenene niwe obhwambilo no mwibhulwa wo bhubhele okusoka mu bhafuye, kwibhyo, ana omwanya gwo kwamba agati ye bhinu bhyona.
19 For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fullness dwell;
Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga akondeleywe ati okukumila kwaye nukwikala mu mwene,
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.
no kugwatanya ebhinu bhyona kwaye ku mwene mu njila yo mwana waye. Nyamuanga akolele omulembe okulabha mu nsagama yo musalabha gwaye. Nyamuanga agwatanyisishe ebhinu bhyona mu mwenene, alabha ni bhinu bhya mu chalo amwi bhinu bhya Mulwile.
21 And you, that were formerly alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled,
Emwe one, mu mwanya gumwi kwaliga muli bhagenyi ku Nyamuanga na mwaliga muli bhasoko bhaye mu bhwenge na mu bhikolwa bhibhibhi.
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight:
Mbe nawe woli abhagwatanyishe emwe kwo mubhili gwaye okulabha ku lufu. Akolele kutya koleleki abhalete emwe abhwelu, bhanu mutane-solo nolwo kakojole kona imbele yaye,
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;
mbe mukagendelela mu likilisha, lwa kutyo mwalumatanyibhwe ni mukomela, nolwo obhutasosibhwao no kusilwa kula mu kusoka mu liikanya lyo bhubhasi elyo musango gwo bhwana gunu mwonguywe. Gunu nigwo omusango gwo bhwana gunu gwalasibhwe ku bhuli munu unu ayangilwe emwalo yo lwile. Gunu nigwo omusango gwo bhwana gunu kugwo anye, Paulo, mwabhee mukosi.
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:
Woli enikondelelwa jinyako Jani kulwa ingulu yemwe. Nanye enikumisha mu mubhili gwani chinu chinkeyeye kulwa jinyako ja Kristo kulwa ingulu yo mubhili gwaye, gunu guli Kanisa.
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;
Anye nili mukosi wa likanisa linu, kisi-kisi no bhukosi bhunu nayanilwe okusoka ku Nyamuanga kulwa ingulu yemwe, okwijusha omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
26 [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages, and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (aiōn g165)
Chinu nicho echimali cha imbisike inu yaliga iselekelwe mu miyaka myafu na ku maimbo gona. Mbe nawe woli yasuluywe ku bhona bhanu abhekilisha mu mwene. (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:
Ni ku bhaliya bhanu Nyamuanga aga endele okusulula kutyo bhuli obhunibhi bhwa likusho elya imbisike ye chimali inu agati ya Maanga. Ni ati Kristo abhalimo emwe, obhubhasi bhwa likusho linu elija.
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
Unu niwe echimulasha. Nichibhekengya bhuli munu, no kumwiigisha bhuli munu kwo bhwengeso bhwona, koleleki ati chimulete bhuli munu akumiye mu Kristo.
29 For which I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Ingulu ya ganu, anye enikomesha no kwilwanilila okulubhana na managa gaye ganu agakola emilimu munda yani mu bhutulo.
