Colossians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

Phaawulos isa fedhii Waaqaatiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼee fi obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos irraa,

2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto 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 and 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 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the (agape) love which all of you have to all the saints,

amantii isin Kiristoos Yesuusitti qabdanii fi jaalala isin qulqulloota hundaaf qabdan sana dhageenyeerraatii;

5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof all of you heard before in the (logos) word of the truth of the gospel;

kunis sababii abdii samii keessatti isinii kuufame sanaatiif; isin waaʼee abdii kanaa duraanuu dubbii dhugaa, wangeela keessatti dhageessaniirtu;

6 Which has come unto you, as it is in all the world; and brings forth fruit, as it does also in you, since the day all of you heard of it, 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 As all of you also learned of Epaphras our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

Kanas tajaajilaa jaallatamaa hidhata keenya taʼe Ephaafiraa irraa barattaniirtu; innis Kiristoosiif tajaajilaa amanamaa taʼee iddoo keenya kan buʼee dha;

8 Who also declared unto us your (agape) love in the (pneuma) Spirit.

inni waaʼee jaalala keessan kan Hafuurri isinii kenne sanaas nutti himeera.

9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that all of you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual 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 all of you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful 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 might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

isinis jajjabinaa fi obsa guddaa akka qabaattaniif, akkuma aangoo isaa ulfina qabeessa sanaatti humna hundaan jabaachaa, gammadaas

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet 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 has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his (agape) dear Son:

Inni taayitaa dukkanaa jalaa nu baasee gara mootummaa Ilma inni jaallatuutti nu dabarseeraatii;

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

nus isumaan furama, jechuunis dhiifama cubbuu arganneerra.

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Inni fakkaattii Waaqa hin mulʼanne sanaa ti; uumama hundaafis hangafa.

16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by 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 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Inni waan hunda dura jira; wanni hundinuu isumaan wal qabatee dhaabata.

18 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.

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 it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;

Waaqni guutummaan isaa hundi isa keessa jiraachuu isaatti gammadeeraatii;

20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

dhiiga isaa kan fannoo irratti dhangalaʼe sanaanis nagaa buusuudhaan waan lafa irra jiru yookaan waan samii keessa jiru hunda karaa isaatiin ofitti araarseeraatii.

21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled

Isinis dur amala keessan hamaa sanaan Waaqatti orma taatanii yaada keessaniinis diinota turtan.

22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and irreproachable in his sight:

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 all of you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which all of you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

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 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

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 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the (logos) word of God;

Ergama Waaqni natti kenneen ani akka dubbii Waaqaa guutummaatti isinii dhiʼeessuuf tajaajilaa waldaa kiristaanaa taʼeera;

26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest 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 would make known what is 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 Whom we preach, warning 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 Unto which I also labour, 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.
