Wakolosayi 1
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 Timotheus the 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 holy ones in Colossae, and to the faithful brothers in Christ: 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 give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
4 Tupikanira ntambu ya njimiru yenu kwa Kristu Yesu na ntambu yamuwafira wantu woseri wa Mlungu.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the holy ones,
5 Moyu gwenu na mafiliru genu gana lyanjiru, litumbiru lyawawatulirani kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Shilii shampikiniriti makashu kwa kubwelerwa Shisoweru Shiwagira sha nakaka.
because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which you heard of beforehand by the word of the truth of the good news,
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 has come to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which 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 also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful servant of the Christ for you,
8 Yomberi katugambiriti mafiliru gampananitwi na Rohu gwa Mlungu.
who also declared 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.
Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the full 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.
to walk worthily of the LORD, pleasing in all, 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.
in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering 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 qualified us for the participation of the inheritance of the holy ones in the light,
13 Yomberi katulopoziyiti kulawa mumakakala ga luwindu, katujega muufalumi wa Mwana gwakuwi yakamfira.
who rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 Kwakuwi mweni twenga twankulopoziwa, tulekiziwa vidoda vyetu.
in whom we have the redemption [[through His blood]], the forgiveness 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, 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.
because all things were created in Him, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him,
17 Kristu kaweriti pamberi pa vintu vyoseri kuwumbwa, na kwakuwi yomberi vintu vyoseri vya pahala pakuwi.
and He is before all, and all things have consisted in Him.
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 Assembly—who is a beginning, a firstborn out of the dead, that He might become first in all [things] Himself,
19 Toziya Mlungu kafiriti kuwera ulumngu wakuwi woseri uweri mngati mwa Mwana gwakuwi.
because all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him,
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—having made peace through the blood of His Cross—through Him, whether the things on the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
21 Makashu mwenga viraa muweriti kutali na Mlungu na muweriti wankondu wakuwi toziya ya maholu genu na matendu genu madoda.
And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now He reconciled,
22 Kumbiti vinu Mlungu kawakolaniziya kupitira kuhowa kwa mwananguta gwakuwi su kawajegani mwenga kulongolu kwakuwi aku pamwera wananagala, waherepa na pota na vidoda.
in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before Himself,
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 you also remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which you heard, which was preached in all the creation that [is] under Heaven, of which I, Paul, became 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 now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for His body, which is the Assembly,
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.
of which I became a servant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to 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 secret that has been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was revealed to His holy ones, (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 willed to make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations—which is Christ in you, the hope of the 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 proclaim, warning 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.
for which I also labor, striving according to His working that is working in me in power.
