Vakolosai 1
1 Nene Pauli mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu kwa uganu wa Chapanga pamonga na Timoti,
Paul, an apostle of Meshikha Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our 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 saints and faithful brothers in Meshikha at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
3 Magono goha lukumbi lwa tukuvayupila, tikumsengusa Chapanga, Dadi wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, praying always for you,
4 Muni tiyuwini sadika yinu kwa Kilisitu Yesu na uganu winu kwa vandu voha va Chapanga.
having heard of your faith in Meshikha Yeshua, and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
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 which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of truth, 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.
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;
7 Mwajiwulili ubwina wa Chapanga kuhuma kwa Epafla, muhenga lihengu muyitu mganu msadikiwa kwa Kilisitu pahali pitu.
even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Meshikha on our behalf,
8 Mwene akutijovela malovi ga uganu wempewili na Mpungu wa Chapanga.
who also declared to us your love in the Rukha.
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.
For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, do not cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and 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.
that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Chapanga avapela makakala kwa uhotola waki woha na ukulu waki muni muhotola kukangamala kila chindu kwa usindimala.
strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance 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 has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;
13 Mwene Chapanga atisangwili mumakakala ga chitita, akatileta muunkosi, mwene ndi Mwana mganu wa Chapanga avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbwa.
who delivered 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 our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins;
15 Kilisitu ndi luhumu lwa Chapanga mweangalolekana, ndi Mwana wa Chapanga na avili kwakona vindu vyoha kuwumbika.
who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over 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.
For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things have been created by him and for him.
17 Mwene avili kwakona vindu vyoha, Vindu vyoha viyendelela kuvya na mukuwungana nayu vindu vyoha viyendelela pandu paki.
He is before all things, and in him all things are held 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.
He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 Muni Chapanga aganili uchapanga waki woha uvya mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
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, making peace through the blood of his cross through him, whether things on the earth or things in heaven.
21 Penapo nyenye mwavili kutali na Chapanga na mwavili makoko vaki ndava ya maholo ginu na matendu ginu gahakau.
You, who once were alienated and were hostile in your minds, doing evil deeds,
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.
yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless 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 it is so that you continue in the faith, established and firm, 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, have become a servant.
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.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in the sufferings of Meshikha for the sake of 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 was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward 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 which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints. (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 them God was pleased to make known the glorious riches of this mystery among the non-Jews, which is Meshikha 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 everyone and teaching everyone all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Meshikha Yeshua;
29 Muni nihenga genago na nikangamala na kutumila likakala likulu la Kilisitu mweikita lihengu mugati yangu.
for which I also labor, struggling according to his power, which works in me mightily.
