1 Nene Pauli mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu kwa uganu wa Chapanga pamonga na Timoti,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy the brother,
2 Tikuvayandikila nyenye vandu va Chapanga mwemwitama pamuji wa Kolosai, valongo vitu vasadikika mukuwungana na Kilisitu. Tikuvaganila ubwina na uteke kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu.
to the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Magono goha lukumbi lwa tukuvayupila, tikumsengusa Chapanga, Dadi wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying about you,
4 Muni tiyuwini sadika yinu kwa Kilisitu Yesu na uganu winu kwa vandu voha va Chapanga.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love toward all the sanctified,
5 Sadika na uganu vihuma muhuvalila lemuvikiwi kunani kwa Chapanga. Mwayuwini hoti ndava ya sadika yeniyo pemwakokosiwi Lilovi la Bwina mala ya kutumbula.
because of the hope being reserved for you in the heavens, which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the good news
6 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.
being present for you, just as also in all the world. And it is bearing fruit and increasing, just as also among you from the day that ye heard and recognized the grace of God in truth.
7 Mwajiwulili ubwina wa Chapanga kuhuma kwa Epafla, muhenga lihengu muyitu mganu msadikiwa kwa Kilisitu pahali pitu.
Just as also ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow bondman, who is a faithful helper of the Christ for you,
8 Mwene akutijovela malovi ga uganu wempewili na Mpungu wa Chapanga.
the man who also made clear to us your love in spirit.
9 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.
Because of this we also, from the day that we heard, cease not praying for you and making request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
10 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.
For you to walk worthily of the Lord for every desire to please, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God,
11 Chapanga avapela makakala kwa uhotola waki woha na ukulu waki muni muhotola kukangamala kila chindu kwa usindimala.
being strengthened in every ability, according to the dominion of his glory, for all perseverance and longsuffering with joy.
12 Na kwa luheku msengusa Dadi, mwavahotwisi nyenye kupata lilundu linu mu mambu gala geavavikili vandu vaki vevitama mulumuli lwa unkosi.
Giving thanks to the Father who made us qualified for the share of the portion of the sanctified in light.
13 Mwene Chapanga atisangwili mumakakala ga chitita, akatileta muunkosi, mwene ndi Mwana mganu wa Chapanga avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbwa.
Who rescued us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 Kwaki mwene tigombolewa, mana yaki ndi kumbudila kwitu Chapanga kulekekesewa.
in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
15 Kilisitu ndi luhumu lwa Chapanga mweangalolekana, ndi Mwana wa Chapanga na avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbika.
who is an image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 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.
Because in him all things were created, things in the heavens and things upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or lordships or principal offices or positions of authority, all things have been created through him, and for him.
17 Mwene avili kwakona vindu vyoha, Vindu vyoha viyendelela kuvya na mukuwungana nayu vindu vyoha viyendelela pandu paki.
And he is before all, and in him all things hold together.
18 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.
And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might become preeminent in all things.
19 Muni Chapanga aganili uchapanga waki woha uvya mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
Because in him it was considered good for all the fullness to dwell,
20 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.
and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross, through him whether things upon the earth or things in the heavens.
21 Penapo nyenye mwavili kutali na Chapanga na mwavili makoko vaki ndava ya maholo ginu na matendu ginu gahakau.
And you, being formerly alienated and hostile in mind, in works, in things evil. But now he has reconciled
22 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.
in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblemished and unblameable before him.
23 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.
If ye truly continue in the faith, founded, and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the good news that ye heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a helper.
24 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.
I now rejoice in sufferings for you, and make complete in my flesh things lacking of the afflictions of the Christ for his body, which is the church.
25 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,
Of which I became a helper according to the administration of God, which was given to me for you to fulfill the word of God,
26 malovi ago gafiyiki kwa vandu voha kutumbula kadeni, chiveleku hati chiveleku nambu hinu gagubukuliwi kwa vandu vaki. (aiōn g165)
the mystery that was hidden from the ages and from the generations, but has now been made known to his sanctified. (aiōn g165)
27 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.
To whom God wanted to make known what is the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 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.
Whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
29 Muni nihenga genago na nikangamala na kutumila likakala likulu la Kilisitu mweikita lihengu mugati yangu.
For which also I labor, striving according to his working, which works in me with power.
