Qolaasiyasa 1
1 Xoossaa shenen Kiristtoosi Yesuusa hawaare gidida Phawuloosinne nu ishaa Ximotiyoosi,
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy,
2 Qolaasiyasa kataman de7iya Kiristtoosan geeshshatasinne ammanettida asaas xaafida kiitaa. Xoossaa nu Aawappe aadho keehatethaynne sarotethay hinttew gido.
to the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
3 Nuuni hinttew woossiya wode Xoossaa nu Godaa, Yesuus Kiristtoosa Aawa ubba wode galatoos.
We always give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ when we pray for you
4 Nuuni Kiristtoos Yesuusan de7iya hintte ammanuwanne geeshshata ubbaas de7iya hintte siiquwa si7ida.
(having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love toward all the saints),
5 Hessa hintte oothiday hintte ufayssay salon hinttew naagettida gishossa. Hintte tuma kiitta gidida Wonggelaa koyro ammanida wode he ufayssaa si7ideta.
because of the hope that is being reserved for you in the heavens, of which you have already heard through the Word of the Truth
6 Hintte he Wonggelaa si7ida wodenne Xoossaa aadho keehatethaa tumaa shaakki erida wodeppe doomidi hintte giddon haanidayssada biitta ubban diccishenne ayfishe de7ees.
(the Gospel that has come to you just as also in all the world, where it is producing fruit and growing just as also among you, from the day in which you heard about and truly understood God's grace),
7 Hintte hessa nuura issife Kiristtoosas oothiya ammanettida, dosettida Ephphaafirappe tamaarideta.
even as you learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
8 I hessa bolla gujjidi Ayyaanay hinttew immida siiquwabaa nuus odis.
who also reported to us your love in spirit.
9 Hessa gisho, nuuni hinttebaa si7ida gallasaappe doomidi, Xoossay ba sheniya hinttena bessana melanne, Geeshsha Ayyaanay immiya eratethaaninne cinccatetha ubban hinttena kunthana mela ubba wode hinttew Xoossaa woossos.
For this very reason, since the day we heard of it, we have not stopped praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the real knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
10 Hessadakka, Goday koyeyssada hintte daana mela, ubba wode iya ufayssana mela, lo77o ooso ubban hintte ayfe ayfana melanne Xoossaa aathi erishe diccana mela Xoossaa woossos.
in order for you to walk worthily of the Lord, pleasing Him in every way, being fruitful in every good work and growing into the real knowledge of God;
11 Xoossaa bonchcho wolqqay hintte ubbabaa genccanaadanne dandda7anaada ba minotethaa immidi hinttena ufaysso.
being enabled with all capability according to the strength that resides in His glory, for all endurance and steadfastness.
12 Qassi geeshshata poo7o kawotethaa laattana mela hinttena oothida Aawa galatite.
Nor have we stopped giving thanks joyfully to the Father who has qualified us for the share in the inheritance of the saints in the Light;
13 I nuna dhuma wolqqaafe ashshidi ba dosiya na7aa kawotethaako nuna ehis.
who delivered us out of the dominion of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 Iyan wozettidi iya suuthan nagara atotethi demmida.
in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our sins.
15 Kiristtoosi benttonna Xoossaas tuma leemiso. I medhetetha ubbaafe bayra.
He is the visible representation of the invisible God, ‘Firstborn’ over all creation,
16 Ubbabay iya baggara medhettis. Benttiyabatinne benttonnabati, wolqqatinne godati, haareyssatinne maata aawati, saloninne sa7an de7iya ubbay iyawunne iya baggara medhettis.
because by Him all things were created—those in the heavens and those on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.
17 I ubbabaappe kase de7ees. Ubbabay iyan ba bessan bessan oykettidi de7ees.
Yes, He is before all, and in Him all things subsist.
18 I ba asatethi gidida woosa keethas huu7e. I ubbaafe bolla gidanaw hayqoppe denddon sinthenne bayra.
Also, He is the Head of the body, the Church. He is Beginning, the firstborn from among the dead, so that He may be preeminent in everything,
19 Xoossay ba kumetha Xoossatethaara iyan daanaw koyis.
because in Him all the Fullness was pleased to dwell
20 Qassi masqaliya bolla gussida ba na7aa suuthan sarotethi medhdhidi saloninne sa7an de7iya ubbaa iya baggara baara sigethis.
and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross—through Him, whether things on the earth or things on the heavens.
21 Hayssafe kase hintte qofaa iitatethay hinttena Xoossaafe shaakkisinne iyara morkke oothis; hintte oosoykka iita.
So now He has reconciled you as well (you who once were alienated and hostile in your mind because of your wicked works),
22 Shin ha77i Kiristtoosi ashon hayqqida hayquwa baggara Xoossay hinttena baara sigethidi, geeshshata, borey baynnayssatanne xillota oothis.
by His physical body through His death, so as to present you before Him holy and blameless and above reproach—
23 Hinttee, hintte ammanuwan qaaxxonna minnidinne xaphphidi daanaw bessees. Hintte Wonggelaa qaalaa si7ida wode ekkida ufayssaa minthi oykkite. He Wonggelay hintte si7idayssanne biitta ubban sabbakettidayssa. Ta, Phawuloosikka ha Wonggelaas oosanchcho gidas.
if, that is, you continue in the Faith established and firm, not drifting away from the hope of the Gospel, that you heard and that was proclaimed in all the creation under the heaven, of which I, Paul, became a servant.
24 Taani hintte gisho ha77i ekkiya waayiyan ufayttays. Kiristtoosi iya asatethi gidida woosa keethaas ekkida waayiya taani ta ashuwan polays.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf and supplement in my flesh the things lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the Church,
25 Xoossaa qaalaa hinttew polada odana mela taw imettida maatan woosa keethaas oosanchcho gidas.
of which I became a servant according to the stewardship from God that was given to me towards you, to complete the Word of God,
26 Ha qaalay kase aadhdhida wodiyan yeletethaa ubbaafe geemmidi de7is. Shin ha77i Xoossay ha xuuraa ammaniyaa ubbaas qonccisis. (aiōn g165)
the secret that has been hidden from past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His saints; (aiōn g165)
27 Xoossay Ayhude gidonna asaa giddon ha xuuraa bonchcho duretethaa qonccisis. Ikka bonchcho ufayssi gidida hintte giddon de7iya Kiristtoosa.
to whom God resolved to make known who is the wealth of the glory of this secret among the nations, namely Christ in you, the hope of glory;
28 Hessa gisho, issi issi asi Kiristtoosan kumetha asi oothidi shiishanaw cinccatetha ubban asaa tamaarssoninne zoren Kiristtoosabaa sabbakoos.
whom we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ.
29 Xoossay ba gita wolqqan tanan oothiya gisho, ha77i gakkanaw iya wolqqan baaxetaysinne daaburays.
It is to this end that I labor, striving according to His working that works through me with power.
