Wakolosai 1
1 Pauli n'tumwa ghwa Kiristu ghwa mapenzi gha k'yara, ni Timoti ndongo bhitu,
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, the brother,
2 kwa bhaumini ni bhalongo bhaaminifu mu Kiristu bha bhaji'hele kolosai. Neema ij'helayi kwa mwenga, ni amani kuliomela kwa k'yara dadi yitu.
to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ, who are at Colosse: Favor to you, and peace from God our Father.
3 Twih'omesya kabhombelilu kwa k'yara, Dadi ghwa Bwana bhitu Yesu Kristu, na twikabhas'omela mara siyoha.
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ always, when we pray for you;
4 Tup'heliki imani j'hamwenga mu Yesu Kristu ni luganu lwa mj'he na lu kwa bhala bhoha bhabhatengibhu kwa ndabha j'ha k'yara.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have to all the saints--
5 Muyele ni luganu obho kwa ndabha j'ha litaraja lya bhuhakika lyalibhekibhu kunani kwa ndabha j'ha mwenga. Mwap'heliki kuhusu litaraja e'lu lyabhuhakika kabla j'ha lineno lya bhukweli, injili,
for the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you have formerly heard in the word of truth of the gospel,
6 ambaho j'haj'hididili kwa mwenga. Injili ej'he j'hihogola litunda na liyenela pakisu poha. ij'hele j'hik'heta naha mugati mwah mwenga piano kuliomela ligono mp'heliki ni kumanyila kuhusu neema j'ha k'yara mubhu kuweli.
which is present among you, as it is also in the world, and is bringing forth fruit and prevailing, even as among you, from that day you heard and knew the favor of God in truth--
7 E'jhe ndo injili j'ha mumanyili kuh'oma kwa Epafra n'ganwa ghwitu ntumwili njitu, ambajhe ndo n'tumishi n'kweli ghwa kiristu kwa ndabha j'ha twenga.
even as you learned it of Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ,
8 Epafra auk'hetili umenyikanayi kwa tete luganu lwa mwenga mu Roho.
who has also declared to us your love in spirit.
9 Kwa ndabha j'ha luganu o'lo, kuliomela ligono lyatup'eleghe naha, tulekili lepi kubha j'ohomela. Tujhele twis'oma kuj'ha mbeta kumemesibhiwa ni bhuj'huzi bhuwa mapenzi ghake muhekima yioha ni bhumanyanu bhwa Roho.
For this reason, we also, from the day we heard these things, do not cease to pray for you, and to request that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding--
10 Tujhele twis'oma kuj'ha mbeta kugenda kwa j'hilondeka kwa Bwana much NJ'hela syasilondeka. Tuyele twisoma kuj'ha mmbeta kuhogola litunda mu kila lihengu linofu nikuj'ha mbeta kuj'ha mu maarifa gha K'yara.
that you may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, bringing forth fruit by every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Twisoma mbwesiyayi kusopibhiwa ng'ofu mu kila bhuwezo kulengana ni ng'hofusya bhutukufu bhwake mu bhuvumilivu ni bhwabhwisindamalu bhwoha.
being strengthened with all strength, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joy:
12 Twis'oma kuj'ha, kwa kuhobhoka, m'beta kuh'omesya kabhombesitu kwa dadi, yeabhakhetili mwenga muyelayi ni sehemu mu urithi bhwa bhaumini mu nuru.
giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in the light;
13 Atuokwili kulioma much bhutawala bhwa ngisi nikutusamisya much bhufalme bhwa mwana munu n'ganwa.
who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:
14 Mwa mwana munu tuyele ni bhukombozi msamaha bhwa dhambi.
by whom we have redemption, even the remission of sins.
15 Muana ndo mfuano bhwa K`yara yaibela kubhonekana. Ndo ghwa kuanza kuhogoleka au bhuumbaji bhuoha.
He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of the whole creation.
16 kwa kuj'ha kwa muene fenu fyoha fya bho mbiki, f'hela fya fiye kumbinguni ni fya fiyela paduniani, f'hemu fyafibhonekana ni fyafibela kubhonekana. Ikayela ifya enzi au mamlaka au bhutawala au bhwabhuye ni nghofu, f'hemu fyoha fyabhombibhu ni muene kwa ndabha j'ha muene.
Because, by him were created all things which are in the heavens, and which are upon the earth; things visible, and things invisible; whether thrones, or lordships, or governments, or powers; all things were created by him and for him.
17 Muene aj'hele kabula j'ha f'hemu fyoha, ni kuj'ha kwa muene f'hemu fyoha fikamulana pamonga.
And he is before all things; and by him all things consist.
18 Na muene ndo mutual ghwa mbhele yaani kanisa, muene ndo mwanzo ni mzalibhwa ghwa kubhwandelu kulioma mu bhafu, henu, ayele ni nafasi j'ha kubhwandelu mu f'henu fyoha.
And he is the head of the body, even the congregation. He is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in all respects he might be pre-eminent.
19 Kwa kuj'ha K'yara aganilikuj'ha bhutimilifu bhwake bhwoha bhutamai mugati mwah muene.
For it pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell in him;
20 Ni kupatanisya f'hemu fyoha kwa muene kwa NJ'hela j'ha mwanamunu. K'yara abhombili amani kup'hetela muasi bhwa nsalaba bhwake. k'yara apatanisi f'henu fyoha kwa muene, ikayelai ni f'henu fya paduniani, au f'henu fyafya kumbinguni.
and by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; I say, by him, whether they be things on the earth, or things in the heavens.
21 Ni mwenga pia, kwa bhwakati bhumonga mwaj'hele bhageni kwa K'yara na mwaj'hele bhasomani bhamuene much akili ni matendo ghaghaleli kuj'ha manufu.
Even you, who were formerly alienated in mind, and enemies by wicked works,
22 Lakini henu abhapatanisi mu enga mu mb'hele bhwa muene kup'hetela kufwa. Akhetili neha idi kubhelete mwenga bhatakatifu, bhabhabelikuya ni lawama ni bilateral dosari palongolo pa muene.
he has now, indeed, reconciled, by the body of his flesh, to present you holy and unblamable, and unreprovable, in his sight;
23 Kama mbete kuyendelela mu imani ya mkomele ni j'ha kinofu, bilateral kubhosibhwa patali kulioma mutaraja lya bhaisisya lya injili j'hamu yipeliki. Enya ndo injili ambaho kwayo nene Pauli, njele mmbombeli.
if, indeed, you continue in the faith founded and stable, and not removed from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature which is under heaven; of which I, Paul, am made a minister.
24 Henu nihobhokili matesu ghangu kwa ndabha j'hinu. Nani ni timisya mu m'mbele bhuangu kyakip'honghoka kwa matesu gha Kiristu kwa ndabha j'ha m'mbele bhwa muene, ambabho ndo kanisa.
I now rejoice in sufferings for you, and fill up the remainder of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for his body, which is the congregation;
25 Nene ne mmbombeli bhwa likanisa e`le sawasawa ni bhua jibu bhwanipelibhu kuh'oma kwa K'yara kwa ndabha j'hinu, kulimemesya lilobhi lya K'yara.
of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which was given to me on your account, fully to declare the word of God--
26 O'bho ndo bhukweli bhwa siri j'haiyele j'hifighibhu kwa miaka mingi ni kwavizazi. Lakini henu j'hifunuhbhu kwa bhona bhabhikiera kwa muene. (aiōn g165)
the secret which had been kept hid from the ages, and from the generations, but now has been made manifest to his saints; (aiōn g165)
27 Ni kwa bhala ambabho K'yara alondeghe kufunula kwa kuj'hele ni bhutajiri bhwa utukufu bhwa siri j'ha bhukweli O'bho mugati mu mataifa. Ndo kujobha Kristu ajihele mugati mwinu, bhujasiri bhwa bhutukufu bhwa wihida.
to whom God has pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 O'yo ndo j'hatukantangasya. Tukansihi kila munu, ni kummanyisya kila munu kwa hekima j'hioha, ili kwamba tundetaj'hi kila munu nkamilifu kwa Kristu.
whom we announce, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, with all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ.
29 Kwa ndabha e`jhe nene nikajitenga ni kujitangatila kul'engana ni nghofu j'ha muene j'hajhifuanya mbombo mugati mwa nene mu bhuweza.
For which I also labor, combating vigorously, according to the effectual working of him who works effectually in me with power.
