Colossians 1
1 Polo, mvuala wu Yesu Klisto mu luzolo lu Nzambi va kimosi ayi khombꞌeto Timote,
Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God,
2 tufidisidi nkanda kuidi banlongo ayi bakhomba zikuikama mu Klistobadi ku Kolosayi. Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama bi Nzambi, Dise dieto bibanga yeno.
and Timothy our brother, to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ at Colosse: grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Beto tueti vutula matondo kuidi Nzambi, Dise di Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto, bu tueti sambila mu zithangu zioso mu diambu dieno
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always in our prayers for you:
4 bu tuwilu tsangu yi minu kieno mu Klisto Yesu ayi luzolo lolo luidi yeno mu diambu di banlongo boso;
(having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and your love to all the saints: )
5 mudiambu di diana diodi lukubukulu mu Diyilu ayi diana diodi lutuama wa mu mambu ma kiedika ma Nsamu wumboti.
for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye have heard before in the word of truth, that is the gospel;
6 Nsamu wumboti beni wutula nate kuidi beno banga bu wididi mu nza yimvimba. Wawu weti buta mimbutu ayi wulembo yendi ku ntuala; banga buididi mu beno tona lumbu kioki luwa ayi luzaba nlemvo wu Nzambi mu kiedika kiandi kioso.
which is come unto you, even as in all the world, and is fruitful; as it hath been also among you, from the day in which ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth.
7 Epafalasi, nkundi eto wu luzolo mu kisalu, niandi wululonga wawu. Niandi widi kisadi kikuikama ki Klisto mu diambu dieno.
As ye also learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you;
8 Niandi wutuzabikisidi boso buididi luzolo lueno mu pheve.
who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9 Diawu tona lumbu kioki tuwa buawu, beto mamveto, tukadi vonga mu kulusambidila ayi mu lomba muingi luba lufuluka mu nzayilu yi luzololuandi; mu nduenga yoso ayi mu diela di Kipheve.
For this cause we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:
10 Mu diambu ludiatila mu phila yifuana mu Pfumu, muingi lummonisa khinimu mambu moso; bu lumbutanga mimbutu mu mavanga mambote ayi luetayunduka mu nzayilu yi Nzambi.
that ye may walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Niandi wela kulukindisa mu zingolo zioso boso buididi lulendo luandi lu nkembo mu diambu lubaka bu vibidila mu mambu moso ayi bu kangila ntima nate kuna tsukulu.
strengthened with all might according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;
12 Mu khini, luvutulanga matondo kuidi Tata wutufuanisa muingi mamveno lubaka bu tambudila kiuka kioki kalundila banlongo boso mu kiezila. Bila:
giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Niandi wutukula mu lulendo lu tombi ayi wutunata mu Kipfumu ki Muanꞌandi wu luzolo;
who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:
14 mu niandi tutambudidi khudulu ayi tutambudidi nlemvo wu masumu.
in whom we have redemption by his blood, even the remission of sins.
15 Niandi mfikula yi Nzambi yi kayimonikanga ko ayi niandi wuthete mu butuka mu bivangu bioso.
Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of the whole creation:
16 Bila mu niandi bima bioso bivangulu: bima biobi bidi mu diyilu ayi bima biobi bidi va ntoto, biobi bieti monika ayi biobi kabi monikanga ko, biba bikundu bi kipfumu voti bipfumu, voti bikulutu voti batu ba lulendo. Niandi wuvanga bima bioso; ayi biawu bivangulu mu diambu diandi.
for by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all were created by Him, and for Him.
17 Niandi widi ku ntuala bima bioso ayi bima bioso binzinga mu niandi.
He is before all, and by Him all things subsist.
18 Niandi ntu wu nitu, dibundu diawu nitu. Niandi thonono; wuthete mu butuka mu batu bafua mu diambu kaba va buangu kithete mu bima bioso.
And He is the head of the body, which is the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence.
19 Bila Nzambi wuzola ti kinzambi kiandi kioso kiba mu niandi.
For it pleased the Father, that all fulness should dwell in Him;
20 Ayi mu niandi kazola vutudila nguizani yidi va khatitsika niandi veka ayi bima bioso; biba biobi bidi va ntoto voti biobi bidi ku diyilu bu kakivangila ndembama va dikulusi diandi mu menga mandi.
and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; by Him only, whether they be things on earth, or things in heaven.
21 Beno lutuama ba batatuka ayi Nzambi, buela bambeni ziandi mu mayindu meno ayi mu diambu di mavanga meno mambimbi;
And you that were formerly alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
22 mu diambu di buabu, kalumonisa banlongo va ntualꞌandi, batu bakambulu tsembolo ayi bakambulu nzimbala va meso ma Nzambi; diawu Nzambi kavutudila nguizani andi ayi beno mu lufua lu nitu yi muanꞌandi.
yet now hath He reconciled in the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and unblameable, and unreproveable in his sight:
23 Mu bila kioki, lufueti ba bakangama mu minu, batungu ayi badi dio ngui. Lubika zimbukusu mu diana diodi di Nsamu wumboti wowo beno luwa. Nsamu wumboti beni wawu wusamunu muidi bivangu bioso bidi va ntoto ayi mu diambu di wawu minu Polo ndiyikila kisadi.
if so be ye continue grounded and settled in the faith, and be not moved from the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached throughout the whole creation, of which I Paul am a minister.
24 Buabu ndilembo moni khini mu ziphasi ziozi ndilembo moni mu diambu dieno. Ndilembo dukisa mu nituꞌama ziphasi zikambu mona Klisto mu diambu di nituꞌandi. Nituꞌandi yawu Dibundu.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up what is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for the sake of his body, which is the church.
25 Mu diambu di dibundu, ndiyikidi kisadi boso buididi kisalukiphana Nzambi mu diambu dieno, muingi ndikudisa mambu ma Nzambi.
Of which I was made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I might fully declare the word of God:
26 Mambu beni madi mansueki momo masueko tona mu thonono yi zithangu ayi yi zitsungi vayi buabu mazabukusulu kuidi banlongo bandi. (aiōn g165)
even that mystery which was hid from former ages and generations, but is now manifested to his saints: (aiōn g165)
27 Bila Nzambi wuzola kuba zabikisa boso buidi kimvuama ki nkembo bu mansueki momo va khatitsika Bapakanu bu dinsundula ti Klisto widi mu beno, niandi diana di nkembo.
to whom God would make known the rich glory of this mystery, among the gentiles; which is this, that Christ is in you the hope of glory:
28 Klisto beni niandi tueti samuna, mu lubula ayi mu longa kadika mutu mu nduenga yoso mu diambu tumonisa kadika mutu wufuana mu Klisto.
whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Kiawu kioki bila ndieti sadila ayi ndieti nuanina boso buididi zingolo ziandi; ziozi zilembo sadi mu lulendo mu minu.
in order to which I also labour, striving earnestly according to his energy which operates in me with power.
