1 uPaulo, Mutung'waa wang'wa Yesu Kristo ku ulowa nuang'wa Itunda, nu Timotheo muluna nuitu,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will 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 faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Kuupumya ulumbi kung'wa Itunda, Tata nua Mukulu itu uYesu Kristo, nu kumulompeela nkua ku nkua.
We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Kigulye u uhuiili nuanyu mung'wa Yesu Kristo nu ulowa ni muukete ku awo ihi nai abaguwe kunsoko ang'wa Itunda.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have towards 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,
because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth 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, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
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.
even as you learnt from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
8 Epafra ai witumile ukumuke kitaitu u ulowa nuanyu mu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
who also declared 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 cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
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.
that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing 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.
strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance 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 thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13 Wakugunilee kupuma mu uhumi nua kiti nu ku uhamilya mu utemi nua ng'wana nuakwe mulowa.
who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 Mu ng'wana nuakwe kukete u uguniki, ulekelwa nua milandu.
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
15 uNg'wana ingi mpyani ang'wa Itunda ni shanga wigelaa. Ingi mulelwa nua ng'wandyo nua u umbwaa wihi.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
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 created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through 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 are held together.
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.
He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 Ku nsoko Itunda ai uloeeigwe kina ukaminkiili nuakwe wihi wikie mukati akwe,
For all the fullness was pleased to dwell 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.
and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
21 Nu nyenye ga, ku itungo ling'wi aimatuile aziila kung'wa Itunda hangi ai matulaa mialugu akwe mu mahala ni ntendo nia ubii.
You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
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,
yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless 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 it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation 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 rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
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 was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me towards you to fulfil 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 mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed 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 make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery amongst 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.
We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
29 Kunsoko iyi, Unene nkamatikile nu kukazana kuniganiila ni ngulu niakwe ni itumaa mulimo mukati ane mu uhumi
for which I also labour, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
