Colossians 1
1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Nene Pauli mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu kwa uganu wa Chapanga pamonga na Timoti,
2 to the holy ones and faithful brothers in Messiah at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Tikuvayandikila nyenye vandu va Chapanga mwemwitama pamuji wa Kolosai, valongo vitu vasadikika mukuwungana na Kilisitu. Tikuvaganila ubwina na uteke kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, praying always for you,
Magono goha lukumbi lwa tukuvayupila, tikumsengusa Chapanga, Dadi wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
4 having heard of your faith in Messiah Yeshua and of the love which you have towards all the holy ones,
Muni tiyuwini sadika yinu kwa Kilisitu Yesu na uganu winu kwa vandu voha va Chapanga.
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
Sadika na uganu vihuma muhuvalila lemuvikiwi kunani kwa Chapanga. Mwayuwini hoti ndava ya sadika yeniyo pemwakokosiwi Lilovi la Bwina mala ya kutumbula.
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,
Lilovi la Bwina liyonjokesa yikuvakita vandu vahenga mambu gabwina na kudandasika pamulima woha ngati chayakitili kwinu nyenye kuhumila ligono lila pamwayuwini kuvala ubwina wa Chapanga na kuyimanya chayivili chakaka.
7 even as you learnt from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Messiah on your behalf,
Mwajiwulili ubwina wa Chapanga kuhuma kwa Epafla, muhenga lihengu muyitu mganu msadikiwa kwa Kilisitu pahali pitu.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Mwene akutijovela malovi ga uganu wempewili na Mpungu wa Chapanga.
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,
Ndava yeniyo tavili tikuvayupila magono goha kwa kuhumila lukumbi lwatapatili malovi ginu. Tikumuyupa Chapanga avatangatila kumanya cheigana nyenye mukihengayi pamonga na uhotola wa luhala lwoha lwa kumanya mambu gegihuma kwa Mpungu Msopi.
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,
Penapo yati mwitama ngati cheigana Bambu na kuyendelela kukita gegakumganisa mwene magono goha. Wumi winu yati wileta mahengu gabwina ndalindali nyenye yati mwiyedelela kukula mukummanya Chapanga.
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
Chapanga avapela makakala kwa uhotola waki woha na ukulu waki muni muhotola kukangamala kila chindu kwa usindimala.
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in light,
Na kwa luheku msengusa Dadi, mwavahotwisi nyenye kupata lilundu linu mu mambu gala geavavikili vandu vaki vevitama mulumuli lwa unkosi.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
Mwene Chapanga atisangwili mumakakala ga chitita, akatileta muunkosi, mwene ndi Mwana mganu wa Chapanga avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbwa.
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
Kwaki mwene tigombolewa, mana yaki ndi kumbudila kwitu Chapanga kulekekesewa.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Kilisitu ndi luhumu lwa Chapanga mweangalolekana, ndi Mwana wa Chapanga na avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbika.
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.
Muni kupitila mwene Chapanga awumbili vindu vyoha kila chindu pamulima na kunani kwa Chapanga, vindu vyeviloleka na vyangaloleka, vana makakala gakulu, vachilongosi vakulu na vana vigoda vya magono goha. Chapanga awumbili vindu vyoha na ndava yaki.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
Mwene avili kwakona vindu vyoha, Vindu vyoha viyendelela kuvya na mukuwungana nayu vindu vyoha viyendelela pandu paki.
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.
Mwene ndi mutu wa higa yaki, ndi vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, mwene ndi Chinyepa cha wumi. Mwene ndi wa mtumbula, kutumbula kuyukiswa mulifwa, muni avya na fwasi ya kutumbula wa muvindu vyoha.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
Muni Chapanga aganili uchapanga waki woha uvya mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
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.
Kupitila mwene Chapanga ahamwili vindu vyoha vyeviwumbiwi vimuwuyila mwene, na kwa ngasi yaki yeyayitiki pamsalaba akitili uteke na vindu vyoha pamulima na kunani kwa Chapanga.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
Penapo nyenye mwavili kutali na Chapanga na mwavili makoko vaki ndava ya maholo ginu na matendu ginu gahakau.
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,
Nambu hinu Chapanga avakitili nyenye mvya vankozi vaki kupitila higa ya Mwana waki mweabweli kwitu akavya mundu na kangi afwili, muni avapeleka nyenye palongolo yaki mkavya vandu vaki vabwina changali kuhoka kokoha.
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.
Muyendelela kusadika uchakaka wenuwo na kuyima chakusindimala, mkoto kuyidakila kunyuguswa huvalila musadika yemwapatili lukumbi pemwayuwini Lilovi la Bwina. Nene Pauli mwenivili namtumisi wa Lilovi la Bwina lenilo lelikokosiwi kwa vandu voha pamulima.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Messiah in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
Na hinu niheka kung'ahika ndava ya nyenye, muni kwa mang'ahiso gangu pamulima apa, nitangatila kumalakisila gala gegakona kuhengeka mu mang'ahiso ga Kilisitu ndava ya higa yaki, ndi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me towards you to fulfil the word of God,
Na nene nikitiwi kuvya namtumisi wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu Chapanga anipeli lihengu lenilo ndava yinu. Mpangu wene ndi kukokosa kwa ubwina ujumbi waki,
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his holy ones, (aiōn g165)
malovi ago gafiyiki kwa vandu voha kutumbula kadeni, chiveleku hati chiveleku nambu hinu gagubukuliwi kwa vandu vaki. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery amongst the Gentiles, which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory.
Chapanga mwene aganili kuvamanyisa vandu vaki mfiyu wenuwo wewuvili ukulu na ubwina wewayenili kwa vandu voha vevangava Vayawudi na yene ndi iyi, kuvya Kilisitu avi mugati yinu, na nyenye mewa yati mwipata lilundu linu muukulu wa Chapanga.
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Messiah Yeshua;
Ndava yeniyo tikumkokosa Kilisitu kwa vandu voha, tikuvabesa na kuvawula vandu voha kwa luhala lwoha, muni tihotola kumleta kila mmonga witu palongolo ya Chapanga kuni akangili mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
29 for which I also labour, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
Muni nihenga genago na nikangamala na kutumila likakala likulu la Kilisitu mweikita lihengu mugati yangu.
