to those who are in Kulosos, the holy brethren and believers in Jeshu Meshiha: peace be with you, and grace from Aloha our Father.
3 Tinogara tichivonga Mwari, Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, patinokunyengetererai,
We give thanks to Aloha the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in all time, and pray on your behalf,
4 nokuti takanzwa nezvokutenda kwenyu muna Kristu Jesu uye nezvorudo rwamunarwo kuvatsvene vose,
even from our hearing of your faith in Jeshu Meshiha, and of your love to all the saints;
5 kutenda norudo zvinobva patariro yamakachengeterwa kudenga uye iyo yamakatonzwa nezvayo mushoko rezvokwadi, iro vhangeri
for the hope which is kept for you in heaven, which at the first you heard through the word of the truth of the gospel,
6 rakasvika kwamuri. Munyika yose vhangeri iri riri kubereka zvibereko uye richikura sezvarakanga richiita pakati penyu kubvira pazuva ramakarinzwa uye mukanzwisisa nyasha dzaMwari muzvokwadi yose.
which is preached to you, as also to all the world, and increaseth and giveth fruits, as also in you from the day that you heard, and knew the grace of Aloha in truth,
7 Makazvidzidza kubva kuna Epafrodhitasi, muranda pamwe chete nesu anodikanwa, mushumuri akatendeka waKristu nokuda kwedu,
as you learned from Epaphra our beloved companion, who is himself for you a faithful minister of the Meshiha,
8 uye akatiudzawo nezvorudo rwenyu muMweya.
and who hath made known to us your love, which is in the Spirit.
9 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, kubvira pazuva ratakanzwa nezvenyu, hatina kurega kukunyengetererai tichikumbira Mwari kuti akuzadzei nokuziva kuda kwake kubudikidza nouchenjeri hwose hwomweya, uye nokunzwisisa.
ON account of this also we, from the day that we heard, have not ceased to pray for you, and to supplicate that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of Aloha in all wisdom and in all spiritual understanding,
10 Uye tinonyengeterera izvi kuitira kuti mugare upenyu hwakafanira uye kuti mumufadze iye mune zvose: muchibereka zvibereko mumabasa ose akanaka, muchikura mukuziva Mwari,
and may walk according to that which is just, and may please Aloha in all good works, and may yield fruit, and increase in the knowledge of Aloha;
11 muchisimbiswa nesimba rose maererano nokubwinya kwesimba rake kuti muve nokutsunga kukuru uye nomwoyo murefu, muchifara kwazvo
and in all power be empowered according to the greatness of his glory in all patience and prolongedness of spirit:
12 muchivonga ivo Baba, vakaita kuti mukodzere kugovana nhaka yavatsvene muumambo hwechiedza.
and with joy may give thanks to Aloha the Father, who hath fitted us for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13 Nokuti akatinunura kubva pasimba rerima akatiuyisa kuumambo hwoMwanakomana waanoda,
and hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
14 watine dzikinuro maari, iko kuregererwa kwezvivi.
in whom we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins:
15 Ndiye mufananidzo waMwari asingaonekwi, dangwe rezvisikwa zvose.
who is the image of Aloha the unseen, and the first-born of all the creatures.
16 Nokuti zvinhu zvose zvakasikwa naye: zviri kudenga nezviri panyika, zvinoonekwa nezvisingaonekwi, zvigaro zvoushe kana masimba kana vatongi kana vane simba; zvinhu zvose zvakasikwa naye uye zvakasikirwa iye.
And by him was every thing created that is in heaven and in earth; all that is seen, and all that is unseen, whether thrones or dominions, or princes or powers; all things by his hand and through him were created;
17 Iye anotangira zvose, uye zvinhu zvose zvinobatana maari.
and he is before all, and every thing by him subsisteth.
18 Ndiye musoro womuviri, iyo kereke; ndiye wokutanga uye ndiye dangwe ravakamuka kubva kuvakafa, kuitira kuti pazvinhu zvose iye ave mukuru.
And he is the head of the body of the church, (he) who is the chief and first-born from among the dead, that he should be preeminent in all.
19 Nokuti Mwari akafadzwa nazvo kuti kuzara kwake kwose kugare maari,
For in him (the Father) hath willed all fulness to dwell;
20 uye kubudikidza naye ayananise kwaari zvinhu zvose, zvingava zvinhu zviri panyika kana zvinhu zviri kudenga, nokuita rugare kubudikidza neropa rake, rakateurwa pamuchinjikwa.
and by him to reconcile all things to himself, and to make peace through the blood of his cross, (even) by him, whether they be inhabitants in earth or in heaven.
21 Kare makanga muri vatorwa kuna Mwari uye maiva vavengi mupfungwa dzenyu nokuda kwetsika dzenyu dzakaipa.
YOU also, who before were aliens and adversaries in your minds by your evil works,
22 Asi zvino akakuyananisai nomuviri waKristu kubudikidza norufu kuti akuisei pamberi pake muri vatsvene, vasina chavanopomerwa uye makasunungurwa kubva pakupomerwa
hath he reconciled now in the body of his flesh and through his death, to constitute you saints before him without spot and without blame;
23 kana muchirambira mukutenda kwenyu, makasimbiswa uye makasimba, musingazungunuswi kubva patariro iri muvhangeri. Ndiro vhangeri ramakanzwa uye rakaparidzirwa kuzvisikwa zvose pasi pedenga, uye iro ini, Pauro, ndakaitwa muranda nokuda kwaro.
if you continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and be not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, and which is proclaimed to every creature who is under heaven, of which I, Paulos, am made a minister.
24 Zvino ndinofara mune zvamakatamburirwa imi, uye ndinozadzisa munyama yangu izvo zvichiri kushayikwa maererano nokutambudzika kwaKristu, nokuda kwomuviri wake, iyo kereke.
I rejoice in the sufferings which are on your account, and fulfil the void of the afflictions of the Meshiha in my flesh for the sake of his body,
25 Ini ndava muranda wayo nokutumwa kwandakaitwa naMwari kuti ndiise kwamuri shoko raMwari nokuzara kwaro,
which is the church; of which I am made a minister according to the dispensation of Aloha, which was given to me for you, to accomplish the word of Aloha;
26 chakavanzika chakanga chakavigwa kubvira kare uye kumarudzi namarudzi, asi zvino zvakazarurirwa vatsvene. (aiōn g165)
that mystery which was hidden from ages and generations, but now hath been revealed unto his saints. (aiōn g165)
27 Kwavari, Mwari akasarudza kuti azivise pakati pavaHedheni, pfuma inobwinya yechakavanzika ichi, iye Kristu mamuri, tariro yokubwinya.
To whom Aloha hath willed to make known what is the opulence of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is, The Meshiha, who in you (is) the hope of glory;
28 Tinomuparidza, tichirayira uye tichidzidzisa munhu wose nouchenjeri hwose, kuitira kuti tisvitse munhu wose akakwana muna Kristu.
whom we proclaim, and (concerning whom) we teach and inform every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Jeshu Meshiha;
29 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, ndinoshanda nesimba, ndichirwisa nesimba rake rose, rinoshanda zvikuru mandiri.
for which also I labour and contend, according to the help of the power which is given to me.
