Colossians 1

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

Polo, mvuala wu Yesu Klisto mu luzolo lu Nzambi va kimosi ayi khombꞌeto Timote,

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.

tufidisidi nkanda kuidi banlongo ayi bakhomba zikuikama mu Klistobadi ku Kolosayi. Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama bi Nzambi, Dise dieto bibanga yeno.

3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Beto tueti vutula matondo kuidi Nzambi, Dise di Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto, bu tueti sambila mu zithangu zioso mu diambu dieno

4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the (agape) love which all of you have to all the saints,

bu tuwilu tsangu yi minu kieno mu Klisto Yesu ayi luzolo lolo luidi yeno mu diambu di banlongo boso;

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;

mudiambu di diana diodi lukubukulu mu Diyilu ayi diana diodi lutuama wa mu mambu ma kiedika ma Nsamu wumboti.

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:

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.

7 As all of you also learned of Epaphras our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

Epafalasi, nkundi eto wu luzolo mu kisalu, niandi wululonga wawu. Niandi widi kisadi kikuikama ki Klisto mu diambu dieno.

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

Niandi wutuzabikisidi boso buididi luzolo lueno mu pheve.

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;

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.

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;

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.

11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

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.

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Mu khini, luvutulanga matondo kuidi Tata wutufuanisa muingi mamveno lubaka bu tambudila kiuka kioki kalundila banlongo boso mu kiezila. Bila:

13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his (agape) dear Son:

Niandi wutukula mu lulendo lu tombi ayi wutunata mu Kipfumu ki Muanꞌandi wu luzolo;

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

mu niandi tutambudidi khudulu ayi tutambudidi nlemvo wu masumu.

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

Niandi mfikula yi Nzambi yi kayimonikanga ko ayi niandi wuthete mu butuka mu bivangu bioso.

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:

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.

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Niandi widi ku ntuala bima bioso ayi bima bioso binzinga mu niandi.

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.

Niandi ntu wu nitu, dibundu diawu nitu. Niandi thonono; wuthete mu butuka mu batu bafua mu diambu kaba va buangu kithete mu bima bioso.

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

Bila Nzambi wuzola ti kinzambi kiandi kioso kiba mu niandi.

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.

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.

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

Beno lutuama ba batatuka ayi Nzambi, buela bambeni ziandi mu mayindu meno ayi mu diambu di mavanga meno mambimbi;

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

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.

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;

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.

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:

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.

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;

Mu diambu di dibundu, ndiyikidi kisadi boso buididi kisalukiphana Nzambi mu diambu dieno, muingi ndikudisa mambu ma Nzambi.

26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (aiōn g165)

Mambu beni madi mansueki momo masueko tona mu thonono yi zithangu ayi yi zitsungi vayi buabu mazabukusulu kuidi banlongo bandi. (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:

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.

28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Klisto beni niandi tueti samuna, mu lubula ayi mu longa kadika mutu mu nduenga yoso mu diambu tumonisa kadika mutu wufuana mu Klisto.

29 Unto which I also labour, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

Kiawu kioki bila ndieti sadila ayi ndieti nuanina boso buididi zingolo ziandi; ziozi zilembo sadi mu lulendo mu minu.
