Awakolosai 1
1 U Paulo umtume wa Kristi u Yesu, shahuanza Ungolowe nu Timoti uholowetu,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through 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 [that are] at Colossæ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
3 Tihusalipwa Ungolowe, Udaada weti wa Yesu UKristi, tihuwalawila hani hani.
We give thanks to God 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.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,
5 Mli nulugano walioli uweshelwe humwanya awe wenyu. Mwahomvyezye aje agole lioli, shalisele izwi ni injili,
because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, 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; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as [it doth] in you also, since the day ye heard 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.
even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
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 and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10 Tilishatilawa aje mjendaje na jimbe hwa Bwana hwidala lilipendezye. Tilishatilawa aje mpape amadondo shila mbombo inyinza munzawe ni njele iya Ngolowe.
to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit 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 power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;
12 Tilawa aje mshanje tisalipua huadaada yawawombile amwe muwe wakwe hulweteho uselu.
giving thanks unto the Father, who 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 delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 Hwa Mwana wakwe tikombolilwe, tisanjililwe hu mbiwi.
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
15 Umwana aliye yu Ngolowe yasagaawoneha, upapwe wahuande ya wumbe vyonti.
who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
16 Umwene ivitu vyonti vyahawombwilwe izyahumisanya, izyamunsi viviloleha, visagaviloleha. nkavya enzi, nkavya tawale vyangovu vyonti vyahawubwelwe nu mwene kwaajili yakwe.
for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;
17 Umwene aleho wahuande kabla ya vyonti, umwene ivinti vyonti vihatene peka.
and he is before all things, and in 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 church: 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 was the good pleasure [of the Father] that in him should all the 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 through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, [I say], whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.
21 Amwe nantele mwahali wajenu hwa Ngolobhe mwahali wawiwi wakwe hujele na humbombo imbiwi.
And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,
22 Eshi awawonganyenye amwe hu bele wakwe ashilile afye. Ahawombile esho ili awalete amwe muwagolosu wasaga walinimbiwi wala intavu hwitangalila lyakwe,
yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:
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 so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.
24 Eshi ishiye lwipata amalawa kwa ajili yamwe. Nanee iwomba hubele gwane shishipungoha humatawa gane hwa Kristi hubele gwakwe, ishipanga.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church;
25 Ane nimuomba mbombo wishipanga husawasawa ni mbombo nyimpewilwe afume Hwangolowe hwaajili yamwe, amyemye izwi lya Ngolobhe.
whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, 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 for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested 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 was pleased to 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 proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;
29 Ane ihujilavya na ikazana afuatane ni ngovu zyakwe zyaziwomba imbombo mhati yane nu ngovu.
whereunto I labor also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
