Kolosai 1
1 uPaulo, Mutung'waa wang'wa Yesu Kristo ku ulowa nuang'wa Itunda, nu Timotheo muluna nuitu,
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the purpose of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 ku a huiili ni aluna ni ahuiili munng'wa Kristo niakoli ku Kolosai. Ukende utule kitalanyu, nu ulyuuku kupuma kung'wa Itunda Tata nuitu.
To the saints and true brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
3 Kuupumya ulumbi kung'wa Itunda, Tata nua Mukulu itu uYesu Kristo, nu kumulompeela nkua ku nkua.
We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,
4 Kigulye u uhuiili nuanyu mung'wa Yesu Kristo nu ulowa ni muukete ku awo ihi nai abaguwe kunsoko ang'wa Itunda.
After hearing of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have for all the saints,
5 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,
Through the hope which is in store for you in heaven; knowledge of which was given to you before in the true word of the good news,
6 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.
Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;
7 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.
As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,
8 Epafra ai witumile ukumuke kitaitu u ulowa nuanyu mu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
And who, himself, made clear to us your love in the Spirit.
9 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.
For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,
10 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.
Living uprightly in the approval of the Lord, giving fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Ku umulompa muhume kuikilwa i ngulu mu kila uhumi kuniganiila ni ngulu ni ikulyo nilakwe mu ugimya nu ugigimiilya wihi.
Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;
12 Ku ulompa kina, ki iloelya, mukupumya ilumbi kung'wa Tata, nai umitumile unyenye muhume kutula ni ipatyo mu usali nua ahuiili mu welu.
Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;
13 Wakugunilee kupuma mu uhumi nua kiti nu ku uhamilya mu utemi nua ng'wana nuakwe mulowa.
Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 Mu ng'wana nuakwe kukete u uguniki, ulekelwa nua milandu.
In whom we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:
15 uNg'wana ingi mpyani ang'wa Itunda ni shanga wigelaa. Ingi mulelwa nua ng'wandyo nua u umbwaa wihi.
Who is the image of the unseen God coming into existence before all living things;
16 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.
For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;
17 uNg'wenso izaa ukoli ze ikili i intu yihi, nu mu ng'waakwe intu yihi iambinkanile palung'wi.
He is before all things, and in him all things have being.
18 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.
And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.
19 Ku nsoko Itunda ai uloeeigwe kina ukaminkiili nuakwe wihi wikie mukati akwe,
For God in full measure was pleased to be in him;
20 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.
Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.
21 Nu nyenye ga, ku itungo ling'wi aimatuile aziila kung'wa Itunda hangi ai matulaa mialugu akwe mu mahala ni ntendo nia ubii.
And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one
22 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,
In the body of his flesh through death, so that you might be holy and without sin and free from all evil before him:
23 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.
If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
24 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.
Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;
25 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.
Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God,
26 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)
The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints, (aiōn g165)
27 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
To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 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.
Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ;
29 Kunsoko iyi, Unene nkamatikile nu kukazana kuniganiila ni ngulu niakwe ni itumaa mulimo mukati ane mu uhumi
And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.
