Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
uPaulo, Mutung'waa wang'wa Yesu Kristo ku ulowa nuang'wa Itunda, nu Timotheo muluna nuitu,
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.
ku a huiili ni aluna ni ahuiili munng'wa Kristo niakoli ku Kolosai. Ukende utule kitalanyu, nu ulyuuku kupuma kung'wa Itunda Tata nuitu.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Kuupumya ulumbi kung'wa Itunda, Tata nua Mukulu itu uYesu Kristo, nu kumulompeela nkua ku nkua.
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
Kigulye u uhuiili nuanyu mung'wa Yesu Kristo nu ulowa ni muukete ku awo ihi nai abaguwe kunsoko ang'wa Itunda.
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
Mukete u ulowa uwu kunsoko a isumbiilyo nila tai ni liikilwe kilunde kunsoko itu. Ai mijaa kutula isumbiilyo nilanso nila tai ze ikili mu lukani nula tai, Nkani ninza,
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,
naiza luzile kitalanyu. Nkani ninza izi itugaa nkali hangi yenelaa mu unkumbigulu wihi. Yatulaa kituma iti ga mukati anyu puma luhiku nai migulye nu kimanyisa kutula ukende nuang'wa Itunda mu tai.
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
Izi zizo nkani ni nziza nai mimanyisilye kupuma kung'wa Epafra, mulowa nuitu munyamilimo miitu, naiza munyamilimo nu muhuiili nuang'wa Kristo ku badala itu.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Epafra ai witumile ukumuke kitaitu u ulowa nuanyu mu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
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,
Ku nsoko a ulowa uwu, puma uluhiku nai kigulye iti, kukili leka kumulompeela. Katuile kulompa kina mikizuligwa nu uhugu nua ulowa nuakwe mu upolo wihi nu ulingi nua nkolo.
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,
Katuile kilompaa kina mikagenda mu ugimya nua Mukulu mu nzila ni izipie. Katuile kilompaa kina mikapaa nkali mu kila ntendo ninza ni kina mikatula mu uhugu nuang'wa Itunda.
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
Ku umulompa muhume kuikilwa i ngulu mu kila uhumi kuniganiila ni ngulu ni ikulyo nilakwe mu ugimya nu ugigimiilya wihi.
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
Ku ulompa kina, ki iloelya, mukupumya ilumbi kung'wa Tata, nai umitumile unyenye muhume kutula ni ipatyo mu usali nua ahuiili mu welu.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
Wakugunilee kupuma mu uhumi nua kiti nu ku uhamilya mu utemi nua ng'wana nuakwe mulowa.
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
Mu ng'wana nuakwe kukete u uguniki, ulekelwa nua milandu.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
uNg'wana ingi mpyani ang'wa Itunda ni shanga wigelaa. Ingi mulelwa nua ng'wandyo nua u umbwaa wihi.
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.
Ku nsoko ku ng'waakwe intu yihi ai iumbilwe, izo ni ikoli kilunde nizo ni ikoli mihi, intu ni yigeeleka nizo ni shanga yigeeleka, anga itule ingi ya ukulu ang'wi ngulu ang'wi uhumi ang'wi anya ngulu, intu yihi ai iumbilwe nu ng'wenso ku nsoko akwe.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
uNg'wenso izaa ukoli ze ikili i intu yihi, nu mu ng'waakwe intu yihi iambinkanile palung'wi.
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.
Nu ng'wenso yuyo itwe nila muili ingi itekeelo, nuanso ingi ng'wandyo hangi mulelwa nua ng'wandyo kupuma mukati a ashi, iti, ukete lyoma nila ng'wandyo mukati a intu yihi.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
Ku nsoko Itunda ai uloeeigwe kina ukaminkiili nuakwe wihi wikie mukati akwe,
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.
nu kulamula i intu yihi kung'waakwe ku nzila a ng'wana nuakwe. Itunda ai witumile u ulyuuku kukiila sakami a ikota nila mpaga ni lakwe. Itunda ai ulamue i intu yihi kitalakwe mukola, anga itule ingi intu nia mihi ang'wi intu nia kilunde.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
Nu nyenye ga, ku itungo ling'wi aimatuile aziila kung'wa Itunda hangi ai matulaa mialugu akwe mu mahala ni ntendo nia ubii.
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,
Kuiti itungili wamulamue unyenye ku muili nuakwe kukiila nsha. Ai witumile iti kumuleta unyenye ni mielu, ni agila u usokigwa nangi bila kimala ntogeela akwe,
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.
anga mulongoleke mu u huiili, nai makomigwaa nu kutula miakomo, kutili kuhegigwa kuli kupuma mi isumbiilyo nila ugimya nila nkani ninza nai muigulye. Izi zizo nkani ninza nai itanantigwe ku kila muntu nai u umbilwe pihi i ilunde. Izi zizo nkani ninza naiza ku nanso unene, Paulo, natuile ni munyamilimo.
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,
Itungili niloeye u lwago nu lane ku nsoko anyu. Nu nene nakondeelya mu muil nuane ni kikepile ku ntendo niang'wa Kristo ku nsoko a muili nuakwe. naza ingi itekeelo.
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,
Unene ingi munyamulimo nua itekeelo ili, kuniganiila nu witumi nai ninkiigwe kupuma kung'wa Itunda ku nsoko anyu, kulizulya u lukani nu lang'wa Itunda.
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints, (aiōn g165)
Uwu ingi tainua ki nkunku nai watulaa upihilwe ku myaka idu nu ku ulelwa. Kuiti itungili wakunukulwa ku ihi ni ahuiie mu ng'waakwe' (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.
Ingi ku awo naza Itunda uloilwe ku kunukula kuyili u ugoli nua ikulyo ila ki nkunku nila tai iyi mukati a Anyaingu. Ingi kina uKristo umoli mukati anyu, ugimya nua ikulyo nilizile
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
Uyu yuyo ni ku umutanantya. Ku umukania kila muntu, nu kumumanyisa kila muntu ku upolo wihi, iti kina kumulete kila muntu ukondaniie kung'wa Kristo.
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
Kunsoko iyi, Unene nkamatikile nu kukazana kuniganiila ni ngulu niakwe ni itumaa mulimo mukati ane mu uhumi
