Wakolosai 1
1 Pauli n'tumwa ghwa Kiristu ghwa mapenzi gha k'yara, ni Timoti ndongo bhitu,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus 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 at Colossae: Grace be 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 God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always 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.
since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye 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,
on account of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which ye heard before in the word of the 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 come to you, as it is in all the world, and is bearing fruit and growing, as it doth also in you, from the day ye heard it, and knew the grace 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 ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf;
8 Epafra auk'hetili umenyikanayi kwa tete luganu lwa mwenga mu Roho.
who also brought to our knowledge your love in the 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.
On this account we also, from the day we heard of it, cease not to pray for you, and to ask that ye 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 ye may walk worthily of the Lord so as to please him in all things, bearing fruit in 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.
endued with all power according to the might of his glory unto 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 enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;
13 Atuokwili kulioma much bhutawala bhwa ngisi nikutusamisya much bhufalme bhwa mwana munu n'ganwa.
who rescued us from the empire of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son;
14 Mwa mwana munu tuyele ni bhukombozi msamaha bhwa dhambi.
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins; —
15 Muana ndo mfuano bhwa K`yara yaibela kubhonekana. Ndo ghwa kuanza kuhogoleka au bhuumbaji bhuoha.
who 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.
for in him were created all things, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things have been created through 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 in him all things subsist.
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, the church; since he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that he may be in all things pre-eminent;
19 Kwa kuj'ha K'yara aganilikuj'ha bhutimilifu bhwake bhwoha bhutamai mugati mwah muene.
for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself,
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.
having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him, I say, whether the things on earth, or those 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.
And you, that were once alienated, and enemies in your mind in wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
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.
in the body of his flesh through his death, to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable 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 ye indeed continue in the faith grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye heard, which hath been preached in the whole creation under heaven; of which I Paul became 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.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up instead that which is wanting of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh on behalf of his body, which is the church;
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 became a minister, according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me, for you, to fulfill 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 mystery which hath been hidden for ages and generations, but hath been now revealed 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 it was the will of God to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery 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 preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in 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.
to which end I also am laboring, striving earnestly through his working, which worketh within me mightily.
