Ukolosiya 1
1 Bulus, unan kaduran Yesu unuzu nyinnu Kutelle, nin Timoti gwana bit,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy my brother, —
2 udu kiti nalege na Kutelle na fere nani, alenge na ina ni nibinai mine kitin Yesu, ale na idi Nkolosiya. Ubolu Kutelle nin lisosin limang nnuzu Kutelle Ucif bit.
Unto the holy and faithful brethren in Christ that are, in Colosse, favour unto you, and peace, from our God and Father.
3 Tidinin liburi liboo kiti Kutelle, Ufin Yesu Kristi, ti din suu minu nlira kokome kubi.
We are giving thanks unto God, the Father of our Lord Jesus [Christ], always, for you, offering prayer, —
4 Tina lanza uyinu mine sa uyenu nanya Yesu Kristi, nin suu kiti na lena Kutelle nafere nani.
Having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which ye have unto all the saints, —
5 Bara uni kibinai nghinua, nin ciu nanyi mine kiti nimong ile idi kitene kan, anughe wa cizin ulanzu ubelen nni nibinai nine unuzu ligbulang kidagen, ullirun nlai.
Because of the hope that is lying by for you in the heavens, of which ye heard before, in the word of the truth of the glad-message,
6 Ulenge na una dak kitimine, nafo ulenge na adin macu, akunjo vat inye, nafo na anughe ditutung, uyire liyiru longo na iwa lanza, ida yinno nkunekune Kutelle nanya kidegen mye.
When it presented itself unto you; even as, in all the world also, it is bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day when ye heard, and came personally to know the favour of God in truth,
7 Udi nafo na iwa lanza kitin Abafras, udon licin bite ule na adi kucin kulau ku Yesu kitimine.
Even as ye learned [it] from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is faithful in our behalf, as a minister of the Christ,
8 Ame ule na ana puun nari usu mine nanya Nfip milau.
Who also hath made evident unto us your love in spirit.
9 Bara ule usuwe unuzu liyiri longo na tiwa lanza ubellen minu nati sunan nlirang nin tirinu nworo uyinnu kullo munu nin se nyinnunu nanya nn Ufip milau.
For this cause, we also, from the day when we heard [of you], cease not, in your behalf, praying and asking—that ye may be filled unto the personal knowledge of his will, in all spiritual wisdom and discernment,
10 Anit din nliran nworo ucin mine cinu dert, nin vat, nafo na iba macu nanya liddu licine nin nkunju mine nanya nyinu Kutelle.
So as to walk worthily of the Lord, unto all pleasing, in every good work, bearing fruit, and growing in the personal knowledge of God,
11 Tidin nliran nworo vat nile imong na idin suwe, nanya likara nzinu mye, una dorfino nin ghinu nanya ncin nibinai mine nin nayi ashau
With all power, being empowered, according to the grasp of his glory, unto all endurance and long-suffering with joy,
12 Tidin nlira nworo ule imone yita iba zazinu Ucif bite nin nayi aboo ulenge na atanari tinanin nbatina ulii ngadu nanya anan yinu sa uyenu nanya uhaske.
Giving thanks unto the Father that hath made you sufficient for your share in the inheritance of the saints in the light,
13 Ana bolu nari nanya likara nsirti, anin kpiliya nari udu kitetne tigo Ngono me nayi mye.
Who hath rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 Nanya Ngono mere tina se utucu nin nshawu kulapi.
In whom, we have our redemption—the remission of our sins, —
15 Gone amere tina se utucu nin shawu na lapi bite
Who, is an image of the unseen God, Firstborn of all creation, —
16 Bara kitimere iwa ke imong vat ilengene na idi kitene kani nin nilenge na idi inye vat, ulenge na idin yenju nin nilenge nsalin nyenju, sa kuteet tigo, sa uminu kipin, sa tigo vat nimon amere wa kee bara litime.
Because, in him, were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the things seen and the things unseen, whether thrones or lordships or principalities or authorities, —they all, through him and for him, have been created,
17 Ame di ubun nin ko iyang, nanya mere ko iyang di kiti kirum.
And, he, is before all, and, they all, in him, hold together;
18 Amere liti nanit mye, kidowo mye amere unan cizinu likara, kumat ncizinu nanya na nan nkul, adinnin kitin ncizunu nanya nimon vat.
And, he, is the head of the body, the assembly, Who is the beginning, Firstborn from among the dead, in order that, he, might become, in all things, himself, pre-eminent; —
19 Nanere bara una poo Kutelle liburi a kpiliya, nworo vat nkullu nimon nan so kitimye.
Because, in him, was all the fullness well pleased to dwell,
20 Anan keele imon vat unuzu ngono mye udu kiti mye, Kutelle wa su nani kubi na awa keele ko iyang unuzu mmi Ngono mye na iwa gutun kitene nbanu kutea, sa imon inyi sa kitene kan.
And, through him, fully to reconcile all things unto him, making peace through the blood of his cross, —[through him]—whether the things upon the earth or the things in the heavens;
21 Au anung wang nkon kubi, iwadi amara kitin Kutelle, iwa di anan nivira mye nanya nibinai nin katwa kananzang.
And, you, who at one time were estranged and enemies in your mind in your wicked works, yet, now, hath he fully reconciled,
22 Udak nene Kutelle wa munu minu kitene kidowo Yesu kin nkul, ankpa min annit alau, anan sali nimong tizogo anan sali nnanu lidu nbun mye.
In his body of flesh, through means of his death, to present you holy and blameless and unaccusable before him, —
23 Andi tutun anughe ashono ati nanya nyinu sa uyenu anan liyisi nari gagang, na ana nworo iba kalu nani kiti katwa Kutelle na ina latiza ulenge na inasu uwa azi nin vat makeke na udi kadas, meny tutun na ina tii nso unan katuwa meng Bulus.
If, at least, ye are abiding still in the faith, founded and firm, and not to be moved away from the hope of the glad-message which ye have heard, which hath been proclaimed in all creation which is under heaven, —of which, I Paul, have become minister.
24 Idinin liburi liboo nin nniu nighe bara anughe, nkulun ile imonghe na idarni nin lanzu nkul nama kidowo Yesu na unere ana dortu mye.
Now, am I rejoicing in the sufferings on your behalf, and am filling up the things that lack of the tribulations of the Christ, in my flesh, in behalf of his body, which is the assembly,
25 Nwwasu katwa kutyi nliran dert nin katwa kutelle ka na iwa nii bara anughe uliru Kutelle nan kullo.
Of which, I, have become minister—according to the administration of God which hath been given unto me to you-ward, to fill up the word of God,
26 Kidegen ka na kiwa nyeshin nin nakus piit udu kuji kidung na kudi ncinu, bara nene ina puun kti nanit alau mye. (aiōn g165)
The sacred secret which had been hidden away from the ages and from the generations, but, now, hath been made manifest unto his saints— (aiōn g165)
27 Anughere ale na Kutelle wa yinin a belle nani ko iyagari use nkanang micine mongo na midi nanya nanit. Ame Kristi na adi nanya mine amere uciu kibinai ngongong mine.
Unto whom God hath been pleased to make known what is the glorious wealth of this sacred secret among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, —
28 Amere ulele na tidin su nin lisa mye, tidin gbaru ko gha ku, ti dursuzo ko gha ku nin vat nyiru unan so dert kitin Yesu.
Whom we are declaring, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man complete in Christ;
29 Nenere ndi katuwa nin nfo kidowo bara katwa mye ka na atii ndi suwe nin likaraa.
Unto which I am even toiling, contending according to his energy which is energising itself in me with power.
