1 Neni Paulu, ntumintumi gwa Kristu Yesu kwa mafiliru ga Mlungu, pamuhera na muumini muyetu Timotewu.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy our 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 brothers in Christ who are in Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Mashaka goseri tulonga mayagashii Mlungu Tati gwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, uganu patuwaluwirani.
We always give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ when we pray for you,
4 Tupikanira ntambu ya njimiru yenu kwa Kristu Yesu na ntambu yamuwafira wantu woseri wa Mlungu.
because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for 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.
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 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.
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 Mfunditwi manemu ga Mlungu kulawa kwa Epafura, ntumintumi muyetu mfiruwa, viraa mtenda lihengu mwaminika gwa Kristu toziya ya mwenga.
You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf
8 Yomberi katugambiriti mafiliru gampananitwi na Rohu gwa Mlungu.
and who also told us about 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.
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 Tuluwa hangu su muwezi kulikala ntambu yakafiriti Mtuwa na kutenda mashaka goseri yagamfiriziya. Hamuweri hamtendi maheri mmakaliru genu na mkuli mukummana Mlungu.
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 Mlungu kawapanani makakala kwa uwezu wakuwi muukwisa wakuwi, su muwezi kugangamala mukila shintu kwa uhepelera.
being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, so that you may have great endurance and patience with joy;
12 Na kwa nemeleru mumgambiri mayagashii Mlungu Tati, yakawatenditi mwenga wantu wakuwi kuwanka uhala wa muufalumi wa gulangala.
giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
13 Yomberi katulopoziyiti kulawa mumakakala ga luwindu, katujega muufalumi wa Mwana gwakuwi yakamfira.
He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
14 Kwakuwi mweni twenga twankulopoziwa, tulekiziwa vidoda vyetu.
in whom we have redemption, the remission of sins.
15 Kristu yakawoneka ndo sawa nentu na Mlungu yakawoneka ndiri. Kaweriti pamberi pa viumbi vyoseri.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
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 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 Kristu kaweriti pamberi pa vintu vyoseri kuwumbwa, na kwakuwi yomberi vintu vyoseri vya pahala pakuwi.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
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.
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 Toziya Mlungu kafiriti kuwera ulumngu wakuwi woseri uweri mngati mwa Mwana gwakuwi.
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to 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 to himself, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace through the blood of his cross.
21 Makashu mwenga viraa muweriti kutali na Mlungu na muweriti wankondu wakuwi toziya ya maholu genu na matendu genu madoda.
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 Kumbiti vinu Mlungu kawakolaniziya kupitira kuhowa kwa mwananguta gwakuwi su kawajegani mwenga kulongolu kwakuwi aku pamwera wananagala, waherepa na pota na vidoda.
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 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 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 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.
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 Neni ntendwa na Mlungu kuwera ntumintumi gwa wantu wa Mlungu. Mlungu kanupiti lihengu ali kwa mbotu yenu maliriti kuwabwelera mwenga shisoweru sha Mlungu.
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 Ujumbi awu ndo bada ilii yaififikiti kwa viyiwuku na viyiwuku kwanjira makashu, kumbiti vinu igubutulwa kwa wananagala wakuwi. (aiōn g165)
the mystery that has been hidden for ages and generations but has now been revealed 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 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 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.
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 Su ntendi hangu neni nankutabikira aku pantendera makakala makulu ga Kristu yagatenda lihengu mngati mwangu.
To this end I labor, striving according to his energy that is powerfully at work within me.
