Wakolosayi 1
1 Neni Paulu, ntumintumi gwa Kristu Yesu kwa mafiliru ga Mlungu, pamuhera na muumini muyetu Timotewu.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, a brother,
2 Twankuwalembera mwenga wantu wa Mlungu waminika yamuwera Kolosayi, walongu wetu waminika mukuwera pamuhera na Kristu. Mlungu Tati gwetu kawapanani manemu gakuwi na ponga.
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ Jesus, who are at Colossa.
3 Mashaka goseri tulonga mayagashii Mlungu Tati gwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, uganu patuwaluwirani.
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.
4 Tupikanira ntambu ya njimiru yenu kwa Kristu Yesu na ntambu yamuwafira wantu woseri wa Mlungu.
Hearing your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which you have towards all the saints.
5 Moyu gwenu na mafiliru genu gana lyanjiru, litumbiru lyawawatulirani kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Shilii shampikiniriti makashu kwa kubwelerwa Shisoweru Shiwagira sha nakaka.
For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel,
6 Shashiwafikiriti mwenga. Pasi panu poseri Shisoweru Shiwagira shiyendereya kujega tekelera na kweneya ntambu yashitendikiti muwamu mwenu kulawa lishaka lilii pampikaniriti na kuvimana manemu ga Mlungu ntambu yagawera.
Which is come unto you, as also it is in the whole world, and bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth.
7 Mfunditwi manemu ga Mlungu kulawa kwa Epafura, ntumintumi muyetu mfiruwa, viraa mtenda lihengu mwaminika gwa Kristu toziya ya mwenga.
As you learned of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus;
8 Yomberi katugambiriti mafiliru gampananitwi na Rohu gwa Mlungu.
Who also hath manifested to us your love in the spirit.
9 Toziya ayi kwanjira lishaka patupikaniriti visoweru vyenu tuleka ndiri kuwaluwira kwa Mlungu. Twankumluwa Mlungu kawatendi muvimani galii gakafira, pamuhera na luhala loseri na mahala gampananitwi na Rohu Mnanagala.
Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding:
10 Tuluwa hangu su muwezi kulikala ntambu yakafiriti Mtuwa na kutenda mashaka goseri yagamfiriziya. Hamuweri hamtendi maheri mmakaliru genu na mkuli mukummana Mlungu.
That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God:
11 Mlungu kawapanani makakala kwa uwezu wakuwi muukwisa wakuwi, su muwezi kugangamala mukila shintu kwa uhepelera.
Strengthened with all might, according to the power of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy,
12 Na kwa nemeleru mumgambiri mayagashii Mlungu Tati, yakawatenditi mwenga wantu wakuwi kuwanka uhala wa muufalumi wa gulangala.
Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light:
13 Yomberi katulopoziyiti kulawa mumakakala ga luwindu, katujega muufalumi wa Mwana gwakuwi yakamfira.
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 Kwakuwi mweni twenga twankulopoziwa, tulekiziwa vidoda vyetu.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins;
15 Kristu yakawoneka ndo sawa nentu na Mlungu yakawoneka ndiri. Kaweriti pamberi pa viumbi vyoseri.
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 Kwa njira yakuwi Mlungu kawumbiti vintu vyoseri, vyaviweri pasipanu na vyaviweri kumpindi, vintu vyaviwoneka na vyaviwoneka ndiri. Handa paiwera vibanta vya shifalumi ama uwezu ama kolamlima ama wakulu na yawawera na makakala. Vyoseri viumbitwi kupitira yomberi na toziya yakuwi.
For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and in him.
17 Kristu kaweriti pamberi pa vintu vyoseri kuwumbwa, na kwakuwi yomberi vintu vyoseri vya pahala pakuwi.
And he is before all, and by him all things consist.
18 Yomberi ndo mtuwi gwa nshimba yakuwi, shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, mweni ndo shanjiru sha ukomu. Yomberi gwa kwanja kuzyuka kulawa kwa yawahowiti su kaweri gwa kwanja muvintu vyoseri.
And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he may hold the primacy:
19 Toziya Mlungu kafiriti kuwera ulumngu wakuwi woseri uweri mngati mwa Mwana gwakuwi.
Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell;
20 Na kupitira yomberi Mlungu kakolaniziyiti vintu vyoseri kwakuwi, na kupitira mwazi gwa Mwana gwakuwi yakahowiti mlupingika yomberi katenda ponga na vintu vyoseri vyaviwera pasipanu na vyaviwera kumpindi.
And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are in heaven.
21 Makashu mwenga viraa muweriti kutali na Mlungu na muweriti wankondu wakuwi toziya ya maholu genu na matendu genu madoda.
And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works:
22 Kumbiti vinu Mlungu kawakolaniziya kupitira kuhowa kwa mwananguta gwakuwi su kawajegani mwenga kulongolu kwakuwi aku pamwera wananagala, waherepa na pota na vidoda.
Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unspotted, and blameless before him:
23 Mfiruwa, kwendeleya na shanjiru shigangamala sha njimiru, tembera namjimira kubegiziwa kulawa mulitumbiru lilii lyamlipatiti palii pampikaniriti Shisoweru Shiwagira. Neni Paulu ndendwa ntumintumi gwa Shisoweru Shiwagira shirii shashibweritwi kwa wantu woseri mupasipanu poseri.
If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven, whereof I Paul am made a minister.
24 Na vinu nankunemelera ntabika yaneni toziya ya mwenga, mana kwa ntabika yaneni pasipanu, ntanga kumalalira shirii shashipunguwiti shangali muntabika ya Kristu toziya ya nshimba yakuwi, yani shipinga shakuwi.
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church:
25 Na Neni ntendwa na Mlungu kuwera ntumintumi gwa wantu wa Mlungu. Mlungu kanupiti lihengu ali kwa mbotu yenu maliriti kuwabwelera mwenga shisoweru sha Mlungu.
Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I may fulfill the word of God:
26 Ujumbi awu ndo bada ilii yaififikiti kwa viyiwuku na viyiwuku kwanjira makashu, kumbiti vinu igubutulwa kwa wananagala wakuwi. (aiōn g165)
The mystery which hath been hidden from ages and generations, but now is manifested to his saints, (aiōn g165)
27 Mlungu kafira kuwalanguziya wantu wakuwi, maisi gamonga yagawera ndiri Wayawudi ukulu wa bada yeni ntambu yaiwera, Kristu kamngati mwenu, ayi meyiweri mtendi ukwisa wa Mlungu.
To whom God would make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ, in you the hope of glory.
28 Toziya ayi twankumbwera Kristu kwa wantu woseri kwa luhala lyoseri tumubeliziya na kumfunda muntu yoseri su tuwezi kumjega kila muntu kulongolu kwa Mlungu pakawera kakamala mukulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu.
Whom we preach, admonishing every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
29 Su ntendi hangu neni nankutabikira aku pantendera makakala makulu ga Kristu yagatenda lihengu mngati mwangu.
Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me in power.
