Bhakolosai 1
1 Paulo, Intumwa ya Yesu Kristo mu kwenda kwa Nyamuanga, na Timotheo owasu,
Paul an apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God and Timothy the brother
2 ku bhekilisha na bhasu abheikanyibhwa mu Kristo bhanu bhali Kolosai. Echigongo chibhe kwemwe, no mulembe okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe.
To those in Colossae saints and faithful brothers in Christ: Grace to you and peace from God [the] Father of us (and Lord Jesus Christ. *K)
3 Echisosha isime ku Nyamuanga, Lata wa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo, na echibhasabhila kwiya kafu.
We give thanks to the God (and *ko) Father of the Lord of us Jesus Christ continually (for *NK+o) you praying,
4 Chonguywe elikilisha lyemwe mu Yesu Kristo no kwenda kunu mulinakwo ku bhaliya bhona bhanu bhauywe ingulu ya Nyamuanga.
having heard of the faith of you in Christ Jesus and the love (that *N+kO) (you have *no) toward all the saints,
5 Muli no kwenda kunu kulwo kwiikanya kwe chimali kunu mwabhikiywe Mulwile ingulu yemwe. Mwonguywe ingulu yo kwiikanya okwo okwe chimali guchali mu musango gwo kumasha, omusango gwo bhwana,
because of the hope which is being laid up for you in the heavens which you heard of before in the word of truth the gospel
6 gunu gwijile kwemwe. Omusango gwo bhwana gunu gwibhuye litwasho na kuswila Chalo chona. One eikola kutya mwiimwe okusokelela ku lusiku lunu mwonguywe no kwiingila okulubhana ne chigongo cha Nyamuanga mu kumasha.
which is being present unto you, even as also in all the world (and *k) it is bearing fruit (and increasing *NO) even as also among you from the day you heard and you knew the grace of God in truth,
7 Gunu nigwo omusango gwo bhwana gunu mweigiye okusoka ku Epafra, omwendwa weswe omukosi wejasu, unu ali mukosi mwiikanyibhwa wa Kristo kulweswe.
even as (and *k) you learned from Epaphras the beloved fellow bond-servant of us, who is faithful on behalf of (of you *NK+O) a servant of Christ,
8 Epafra agukolele gumenyekane kweswe okwenda kwemwe mu Mwoyo.
the [one] also having made known to us your love in [the] Spirit.
9 Kunsonga yo kwenda kunu, okusokelela ku lusiku lunu chonguywe kutya, chichali kusinga kubhasabhila. Echibhalikisho ati mwijusibhwe obhwenge bhwo kwenda kwaye mu bhwengeso bhwona no bhumenyi bhwe chinyamwoyo.
Because of this also we ourselves from the day we heard, not cease for you praying and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of Him in all wisdom and in understanding spiritual
10 Echisabhwa ati mulibhatile mu bhwiikanyibhwa obhwa Latabhugenyi mu ngendo ejo jikondelesishe. Echisabhwa ati omwibhula litwasho mu bhuli chikolwa che kisi na ati omukula mu bhumenyi bhwa Nyamuanga.
to walk (you *k) worthily of the Lord in all pleasing in every work good bringing forth fruit and growing (into *k) (knowledge *N+kO) of God,
11 Echisabhwa ati mutule okutendwa amanaga mu bhuli bhutulo okulubhana na managa ya likusho lyaye mu kwigumilisha na mu kwikomesha Leona.
with all power being strengthened according to the might glorious of Him unto all endurance and patience with joy.
12 Echisabhwa ati, mu kukondelwa, omusosha isime ku Lata, unu abhakola emwe mutule okubha ebhala mu kulya omwandu gwa bhekilisha mu bhwelu.
giving thanks to the Father the [One] having qualified (you *N+KO) for the share of the inheritance of the saints in the light,
13 Achikisishe okusoka mu bhuteile bhwe chisute no kuchifululila mu bhukama bhwo Mwana waye omwendwa.
who has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred [us] into the kingdom of the Son the beloved of Him,
14 Mu Mwana waye chili no kwelesha, unu ali musasisi we bhibhibhi.
in whom we have redemption (through the blood of him *K) the forgiveness of sins;
15 Omwana ni chijejekanyo cha Nyamuanga unu atakubhonekana. Ni wo bhubhele mu bhumogi bhwona.
[He] is [the] image of the God invisible, [the] firstborn over all creation;
16 Kulwo kubha ku mwene ebhinu bhyona bhyayangilwe, bhilya bhinu bhili mu lwile na bhinu bhilimo mu chalo, bhinu ebhibhonekana na bhinu bhitakubhonekana. Bhikabha ni bhya chikama amwi bhya bhutulo amwi bhya bhutungi amwi ebhya managa, ebhinu bhyona bhiyangilwe no mwene na ingulu yaye.
because in Him were created all things (which [are] *k) in the heavens and upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things through Him and unto Him have been created,
17 omwene niwe atangatiye ebhinu bhyona, na mu mwene bhinu bhyona bhigwatene amwi.
And He himself is before all things, and all things in Him have held together,
18 No mwene niwe mutwe gwo mubhili niyo ikanisa, mwenene niwe obhwambilo no mwibhulwa wo bhubhele okusoka mu bhafuye, kwibhyo, ana omwanya gwo kwamba agati ye bhinu bhyona.
And He himself is the head of the body the church; who is (the *o) beginning, firstborn out from the dead, so that may be in all things He himself holding preeminence;
19 Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga akondeleywe ati okukumila kwaye nukwikala mu mwene,
because in Him was pleased all the fullness to dwell
20 no kugwatanya ebhinu bhyona kwaye ku mwene mu njila yo mwana waye. Nyamuanga akolele omulembe okulabha mu nsagama yo musalabha gwaye. Nyamuanga agwatanyisishe ebhinu bhyona mu mwenene, alabha ni bhinu bhya mu chalo amwi bhinu bhya Mulwile.
and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of the cross of Him, through Him whether the [things] on the earth or the [things] (in *NK+o) the heavens;
21 Emwe one, mu mwanya gumwi kwaliga muli bhagenyi ku Nyamuanga na mwaliga muli bhasoko bhaye mu bhwenge na mu bhikolwa bhibhibhi.
And you once being alienated and hostile in mind in the deeds evil, now however (He has reconciled [You] *NK+O)
22 Mbe nawe woli abhagwatanyishe emwe kwo mubhili gwaye okulabha ku lufu. Akolele kutya koleleki abhalete emwe abhwelu, bhanu mutane-solo nolwo kakojole kona imbele yaye,
in the body of the flesh of Him through death to present you holy and unblemished and blameless before Him.
23 mbe mukagendelela mu likilisha, lwa kutyo mwalumatanyibhwe ni mukomela, nolwo obhutasosibhwao no kusilwa kula mu kusoka mu liikanya lyo bhubhasi elyo musango gwo bhwana gunu mwonguywe. Gunu nigwo omusango gwo bhwana gunu gwalasibhwe ku bhuli munu unu ayangilwe emwalo yo lwile. Gunu nigwo omusango gwo bhwana gunu kugwo anye, Paulo, mwabhee mukosi.
if indeed you continue in the faith established and firm and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which having been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which have become I myself Paul a minister.
24 Woli enikondelelwa jinyako Jani kulwa ingulu yemwe. Nanye enikumisha mu mubhili gwani chinu chinkeyeye kulwa jinyako ja Kristo kulwa ingulu yo mubhili gwaye, gunu guli Kanisa.
Now I rejoice in the sufferings (of mine *k) for you and I am filling up that which is lacking of the tribulations of Christ in the flesh of mine for the body of Him which is the church;
25 Anye nili mukosi wa likanisa linu, kisi-kisi no bhukosi bhunu nayanilwe okusoka ku Nyamuanga kulwa ingulu yemwe, okwijusha omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
of which became I myself a minister according to the administration of God which having been given me toward you to complete the word of God,
26 Chinu nicho echimali cha imbisike inu yaliga iselekelwe mu miyaka myafu na ku maimbo gona. Mbe nawe woli yasuluywe ku bhona bhanu abhekilisha mu mwene. (aiōn g165)
the mystery which hidden from the ages and from the generations, (now *N+kO) however having been manifested to the saints of Him; (aiōn g165)
27 Ni ku bhaliya bhanu Nyamuanga aga endele okusulula kutyo bhuli obhunibhi bhwa likusho elya imbisike ye chimali inu agati ya Maanga. Ni ati Kristo abhalimo emwe, obhubhasi bhwa likusho linu elija.
to whom has willed God to make known (what the *N+kO) riches of the glory of the mystery this among the Gentiles, (which *N+kO) is Christ in you, the hope of glory;
28 Unu niwe echimulasha. Nichibhekengya bhuli munu, no kumwiigisha bhuli munu kwo bhwengeso bhwona, koleleki ati chimulete bhuli munu akumiye mu Kristo.
whom we ourselves preach admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that we may present every man perfect in Christ (Jesus *K)
29 Ingulu ya ganu, anye enikomesha no kwilwanilila okulubhana na managa gaye ganu agakola emilimu munda yani mu bhutulo.
Unto this also I toil striving according to the energy of Him who is working in me myself in power.
