Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Phaawulos isa fedhii Waaqaatiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼee fi obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos irraa,
2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Gara qulqulloota, obboloota Kiristoosiin amanamoo taʼan kanneen Qolosaayis jiraataniitti: Abbaa keenya Waaqa biraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Nu yommuu isiniif kadhannutti Waaqa, Abbaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos yeroo hunda ni galateeffanna;
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
amantii isin Kiristoos Yesuusitti qabdanii fi jaalala isin qulqulloota hundaaf qabdan sana dhageenyeerraatii;
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News
kunis sababii abdii samii keessatti isinii kuufame sanaatiif; isin waaʼee abdii kanaa duraanuu dubbii dhugaa, wangeela keessatti dhageessaniirtu;
6 which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
wangeelli kunis isin bira gaʼeera. Wangeelli kunis gaafa isin isa dhageessanii dhugumaan ayyaana Waaqaa hubattanii jalqabee akkuma isin gidduutti hojjechaa ture sana addunyaa guutuu keessattis ija naqachaa fi guddachaa jira.
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
Kanas tajaajilaa jaallatamaa hidhata keenya taʼe Ephaafiraa irraa barattaniirtu; innis Kiristoosiif tajaajilaa amanamaa taʼee iddoo keenya kan buʼee dha;
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
inni waaʼee jaalala keessan kan Hafuurri isinii kenne sanaas nutti himeera.
9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Sababii kanaaf nu gaafa waaʼee keessan dhageenyee jalqabnee isinii kadhachuu fi akka Waaqni karaa ogummaatii fi hubannaa hafuuraa hundaan beekumsa fedhii isaatiin isin guutu kadhachuu hin dhiifne.
10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,
Kunis akka isin hojii gaarii hundaan ija naqachaa, Waaqa beekuudhaanis guddachaa, jireenya Gooftaaf maluu fi kan karaa hundaan isa gammachiisu jiraattaniif;
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
isinis jajjabinaa fi obsa guddaa akka qabaattaniif, akkuma aangoo isaa ulfina qabeessa sanaatti humna hundaan jabaachaa, gammadaas
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
Waaqa Abbaa kan akka isin mootummaa ifaa keessatti qulqulloota wajjin dhaala keessatti hirmaattan isin dandeessise sana galateeffadhaa.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
Inni taayitaa dukkanaa jalaa nu baasee gara mootummaa Ilma inni jaallatuutti nu dabarseeraatii;
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
nus isumaan furama, jechuunis dhiifama cubbuu arganneerra.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Inni fakkaattii Waaqa hin mulʼanne sanaa ti; uumama hundaafis hangafa.
16 For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
Wanni hundinuu isumaan uumameetii: Wanni samii keessaa fi lafa irraa, wanni mulʼatuu fi hin mulʼanne, teessoowwan yookaan humnoonni yookaan bulchitoonni yookaan taayitaawwan, wanni hundinuu isumaan, isumaaf uumaman.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
Inni waan hunda dura jira; wanni hundinuu isumaan wal qabatee dhaabata.
18 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.
Inni mataa dhagna isaa, mataa waldaa kiristaanaa ti; waan hunda irratti ol aantummaa akka qabaatuufis inni kan jalqabaa ti; warra duʼan keessaa kaafamuudhaanis hangafa.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
Waaqni guutummaan isaa hundi isa keessa jiraachuu isaatti gammadeeraatii;
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
dhiiga isaa kan fannoo irratti dhangalaʼe sanaanis nagaa buusuudhaan waan lafa irra jiru yookaan waan samii keessa jiru hunda karaa isaatiin ofitti araarseeraatii.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
Isinis dur amala keessan hamaa sanaan Waaqatti orma taatanii yaada keessaniinis diinota turtan.
22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
Amma garuu qulqulloota mudaa hin qabnee fi warra hirʼina hin qabne godhee fuula isaa duratti isin dhiʼeessuuf dhagna foon Kiristoosiin, karaa duʼa isaatiin isin araarseera;
23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
kunis yoo isin amantii keessaniin itti fuftan, yoo jabaattanii dhaabattanii fi yoo isin abdii wangeelaa irraa hin sochoone taʼa. Wangeelli kunis isuma isin dhageessanii fi isuma samii gaditti uumama hundatti lallabamee dha; ani Phaawulosis wangeeluma kanaaf tajaajilaa taʼeera.
24 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 assembly,
Ani amma isiniif dhiphachuu kootti nan gammada; waan dhiphina Kiristoos dhagna isaatiif jechuunis waldaa kiristaanaatiif jedhee dhiphate sana keessaa hirʼates ani foon kootiin nan guuta.
25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,
Ergama Waaqni natti kenneen ani akka dubbii Waaqaa guutummaatti isinii dhiʼeessuuf tajaajilaa waldaa kiristaanaa taʼeera;
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints, (aiōn g165)
dubbiin kunis icciitii barootaa fi dhaloota jalaa dhokfamee turee dha; amma garuu qulqulloota isaatti mulʼifameera. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Waaqni badhaadhummaan ulfina icciitii kanaa hammam guddaa akka taʼe Namoota Ormaa gidduutti qulqulloota isaatti beeksisuu filateera; icciitiin kunis Kiristoos, abdii ulfinaa isa isin keessa jiruu dha.
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
Nus isuma lallabna; nama hunda kan guutumaan guutuutti Kiristoositti bilchaataa taʼe akka dhiʼeessinuuf, tokkoo tokkoo namaa ogummaa hundaan gorsaa barsiisna.
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
Kanaafuu ani akkuma hojii humna isaa kan ciminaan na keessatti hojjetu sanaatti carraaqaa nan dhimma.
