Vakolosai 1
1 Nene Pauli mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu kwa uganu wa Chapanga pamonga na Timoti,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 Tikuvayandikila nyenye vandu va Chapanga mwemwitama pamuji wa Kolosai, valongo vitu vasadikika mukuwungana na Kilisitu. Tikuvaganila ubwina na uteke kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu.
to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ who are in Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Magono goha lukumbi lwa tukuvayupila, tikumsengusa Chapanga, Dadi wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
We always give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ when we pray for you,
4 Muni tiyuwini sadika yinu kwa Kilisitu Yesu na uganu winu kwa vandu voha va Chapanga.
because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints,
5 Sadika na uganu vihuma muhuvalila lemuvikiwi kunani kwa Chapanga. Mwayuwini hoti ndava ya sadika yeniyo pemwakokosiwi Lilovi la Bwina mala ya kutumbula.
the faith and love that spring from the hope that is laid up for you in heaven. You have already heard about this hope in the message of the truth of the gospel
6 Lilovi la Bwina liyonjokesa yikuvakita vandu vahenga mambu gabwina na kudandasika pamulima woha ngati chayakitili kwinu nyenye kuhumila ligono lila pamwayuwini kuvala ubwina wa Chapanga na kuyimanya chayivili chakaka.
that has come to you. This gospel has gone out into all the world, where it is bearing fruit and increasing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.
7 Mwajiwulili ubwina wa Chapanga kuhuma kwa Epafla, muhenga lihengu muyitu mganu msadikiwa kwa Kilisitu pahali pitu.
You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf
8 Mwene akutijovela malovi ga uganu wempewili na Mpungu wa Chapanga.
and who also told us about your love in the Spirit.
9 Ndava yeniyo tavili tikuvayupila magono goha kwa kuhumila lukumbi lwatapatili malovi ginu. Tikumuyupa Chapanga avatangatila kumanya cheigana nyenye mukihengayi pamonga na uhotola wa luhala lwoha lwa kumanya mambu gegihuma kwa Mpungu Msopi.
For this reason, from the day we heard this, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
10 Penapo yati mwitama ngati cheigana Bambu na kuyendelela kukita gegakumganisa mwene magono goha. Wumi winu yati wileta mahengu gabwina ndalindali nyenye yati mwiyedelela kukula mukummanya Chapanga.
so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord with every desire to please him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Chapanga avapela makakala kwa uhotola waki woha na ukulu waki muni muhotola kukangamala kila chindu kwa usindimala.
being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, so that you may have great endurance and patience with joy;
12 Na kwa luheku msengusa Dadi, mwavahotwisi nyenye kupata lilundu linu mu mambu gala geavavikili vandu vaki vevitama mulumuli lwa unkosi.
giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
13 Mwene Chapanga atisangwili mumakakala ga chitita, akatileta muunkosi, mwene ndi Mwana mganu wa Chapanga avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbwa.
He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
14 Kwaki mwene tigombolewa, mana yaki ndi kumbudila kwitu Chapanga kulekekesewa.
in whom we have redemption, the remission of sins.
15 Kilisitu ndi luhumu lwa Chapanga mweangalolekana, ndi Mwana wa Chapanga na avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbika.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 Muni kupitila mwene Chapanga awumbili vindu vyoha kila chindu pamulima na kunani kwa Chapanga, vindu vyeviloleka na vyangaloleka, vana makakala gakulu, vachilongosi vakulu na vana vigoda vya magono goha. Chapanga awumbili vindu vyoha na ndava yaki.
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions, rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
17 Mwene avili kwakona vindu vyoha, Vindu vyoha viyendelela kuvya na mukuwungana nayu vindu vyoha viyendelela pandu paki.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
18 Mwene ndi mutu wa higa yaki, ndi vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, mwene ndi Chinyepa cha wumi. Mwene ndi wa mtumbula, kutumbula kuyukiswa mulifwa, muni avya na fwasi ya kutumbula wa muvindu vyoha.
He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in everything he may be preeminent.
19 Muni Chapanga aganili uchapanga waki woha uvya mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
20 Kupitila mwene Chapanga ahamwili vindu vyoha vyeviwumbiwi vimuwuyila mwene, na kwa ngasi yaki yeyayitiki pamsalaba akitili uteke na vindu vyoha pamulima na kunani kwa Chapanga.
and through him to reconcile all things to himself, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace through the blood of his cross.
21 Penapo nyenye mwavili kutali na Chapanga na mwavili makoko vaki ndava ya maholo ginu na matendu ginu gahakau.
At one time you were alienated from God and hostile in your minds because of your evil works. But now God has reconciled you to himself
22 Nambu hinu Chapanga avakitili nyenye mvya vankozi vaki kupitila higa ya Mwana waki mweabweli kwitu akavya mundu na kangi afwili, muni avapeleka nyenye palongolo yaki mkavya vandu vaki vabwina changali kuhoka kokoha.
through the death of Christ in his physical body, in order to bring you into his own presence as holy, unblemished, and above reproach,
23 Muyendelela kusadika uchakaka wenuwo na kuyima chakusindimala, mkoto kuyidakila kunyuguswa huvalila musadika yemwapatili lukumbi pemwayuwini Lilovi la Bwina. Nene Pauli mwenivili namtumisi wa Lilovi la Bwina lenilo lelikokosiwi kwa vandu voha pamulima.
if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, without shifting away from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has been preached in all creation under heaven, and of this gospel I, Paul, have become a servant.
24 Na hinu niheka kung'ahika ndava ya nyenye, muni kwa mang'ahiso gangu pamulima apa, nitangatila kumalakisila gala gegakona kuhengeka mu mang'ahiso ga Kilisitu ndava ya higa yaki, ndi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
I rejoice now in my sufferings for you, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church.
25 Na nene nikitiwi kuvya namtumisi wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu Chapanga anipeli lihengu lenilo ndava yinu. Mpangu wene ndi kukokosa kwa ubwina ujumbi waki,
I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,
26 malovi ago gafiyiki kwa vandu voha kutumbula kadeni, chiveleku hati chiveleku nambu hinu gagubukuliwi kwa vandu vaki. (aiōn g165)
the mystery that has been hidden for ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. (aiōn g165)
27 Chapanga mwene aganili kuvamanyisa vandu vaki mfiyu wenuwo wewuvili ukulu na ubwina wewayenili kwa vandu voha vevangava Vayawudi na yene ndi iyi, kuvya Kilisitu avi mugati yinu, na nyenye mewa yati mwipata lilundu linu muukulu wa Chapanga.
To them God resolved to make known how great among the Gentiles are the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 Ndava yeniyo tikumkokosa Kilisitu kwa vandu voha, tikuvabesa na kuvawula vandu voha kwa luhala lwoha, muni tihotola kumleta kila mmonga witu palongolo ya Chapanga kuni akangili mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
He is the one we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ Jesus.
29 Muni nihenga genago na nikangamala na kutumila likakala likulu la Kilisitu mweikita lihengu mugati yangu.
To this end I labor, striving according to his energy that is powerfully at work within me.
