Awakolosai 1
1 U Paulo umtume wa Kristi u Yesu, shahuanza Ungolowe nu Timoti uholowetu,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 hulweteho na huwaholo awagolosu hwa Kristi wawaleho Hukolosai. Uweene uwe humwenyu nu pumu, afume hwa Ngolowe Udaada weti.
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Tihusalipwa Ungolowe, Udaada weti wa Yesu UKristi, tihuwalawila hani hani.
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Tumvyenze ulweteho wamlinao hwa Yesu Ukristi nu lugano wamlinao hwa wantu wonti bhabhaguliwe awe hua Ngolowe.
Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
5 Mli nulugano walioli uweshelwe humwanya awe wenyu. Mwahomvyezye aje agole lioli, shalisele izwi ni injili,
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 eyo inyezelehu mwenyu. Inzwi lipapa amadondo liwala musimonti liwomba mhanti yentu ahuande isiku liamuhahovyenzye na manyile lioli uwene wa Ngolobhe.
Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
7 Eli izwi lyammanyie afume hwa Epafra, uganwwe wetu, umuwomba mbombo uwamwentu, muomba mbombo ugolosu wa Kristi ubadra uwetu.
As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8 U Epafra auwombile uonehane humwenti uugano wenyu Hwampepo.
Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9 Huje ulugano ouu ahwandi isiku hatahahovyenzye sagatileshile huwaputile. Tilishatillawa aje mmeme injelee, ihekima yonti, injele yahupepo.
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 Tilishatilawa aje mjendaje na jimbe hwa Bwana hwidala lilipendezye. Tilishatilawa aje mpape amadondo shila mbombo inyinza munzawe ni njele iya Ngolowe.
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Tilawa mposhele ingovu ni ngovu izyi tuntumu wakwe naje tijimbanje na jimbizanye tonti.
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Tilawa aje mshanje tisalipua huadaada yawawombile amwe muwe wakwe hulweteho uselu.
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Atikomboe afume huutawala wa nkhisi na hutusamizizye huumwene wa Mwana wakwe uganwe.
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 Hwa Mwana wakwe tikombolilwe, tisanjililwe hu mbiwi.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Umwana aliye yu Ngolowe yasagaawoneha, upapwe wahuande ya wumbe vyonti.
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 Umwene ivitu vyonti vyahawombwilwe izyahumisanya, izyamunsi viviloleha, visagaviloleha. nkavya enzi, nkavya tawale vyangovu vyonti vyahawubwelwe nu mwene kwaajili yakwe.
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 Umwene aleho wahuande kabla ya vyonti, umwene ivinti vyonti vihatene peka.
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 Umwene litwe li pele yaani ishiwanza, umwene wahuande, papwe wahuande afume mwawafyeye. Huje alini nafasi ya huande mvintu vyonti.
And he is the head of the body, the Assembly: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 Huje Ungolobhe ahasongwelwe aje ufinyile wakwe wonti ukhala mhati yakwe,
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 apatanishe ivintu vyonti hwidala lya Mwana wakwe. Ungolowe aahawombile upumu ashirile idanda lya mshikhomanyo wakwe. Ungolobhe ahapatanisizye wintu vyonti ivyakwe mwene. Nkha vintu vya munsi au ivintu vyahumwanya.
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 Amwe nantele mwahali wajenu hwa Ngolobhe mwahali wawiwi wakwe hujele na humbombo imbiwi.
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 Eshi awawonganyenye amwe hu bele wakwe ashilile afye. Ahawombile esho ili awalete amwe muwagolosu wasaga walinimbiwi wala intavu hwitangalila lyakwe,
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 nkamuza jende mlweteshelo mkamilishe mlishinza msahasogole mdandamaje hunzwi. Hi ndiyo injili iliyotangazwa kwa kila mtu aliyeumbwa chini ya mbingu. Elino ane ni Paulo indi muwomba mbombo.
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
24 Eshi ishiye lwipata amalawa kwa ajili yamwe. Nanee iwomba hubele gwane shishipungoha humatawa gane hwa Kristi hubele gwakwe, ishipanga.
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the Assembly:
25 Ane nimuomba mbombo wishipanga husawasawa ni mbombo nyimpewilwe afume Hwangolowe hwaajili yamwe, amyemye izwi lya Ngolobhe.
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Ene ilioli siri ifisilwe amaha minchi huvizazi. Eshi saga siri hwa wonti wawali nu lweteshelo hwa mwene. (aiōn g165)
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (aiōn g165)
27 Ungolowe awazile wala wahwanza huwawonesha utaajiri wa utuntumu wa siri ya ulioli mhanti yawantu munsi zyonti. Huje UKristi aleho mhati yenyu, udandamazu nu tuntumu uuhwenza.
To whom God would 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 Uno yuyulatihutengemela Tihusunda kila muntu, tihumanyizya kila muntu injele yonti, ili tulete kila muntu huungolosu hwa Kristi.
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Ane ihujilavya na ikazana afuatane ni ngovu zyakwe zyaziwomba imbombo mhati yane nu ngovu.
Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
