Colossians 1
1 Polo, mvuala wu Yesu Klisto mu luzolo lu Nzambi va kimosi ayi khombꞌeto Timote,
Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus, by God's will, and Timotheus the brother,
2 tufidisidi nkanda kuidi banlongo ayi bakhomba zikuikama mu Klistobadi ku Kolosayi. Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama bi Nzambi, Dise dieto bibanga yeno.
to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ which [are] in Colosse. Grace to you and peace from God our Father [and Lord Jesus Christ].
3 Beto tueti vutula matondo kuidi Nzambi, Dise di Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto, bu tueti sambila mu zithangu zioso mu diambu dieno
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ continually [when] praying for you,
4 bu tuwilu tsangu yi minu kieno mu Klisto Yesu ayi luzolo lolo luidi yeno mu diambu di banlongo boso;
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which ye have towards all the saints,
5 mudiambu di diana diodi lukubukulu mu Diyilu ayi diana diodi lutuama wa mu mambu ma kiedika ma Nsamu wumboti.
on account of the hope which [is] laid up for you in the heavens; of which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the glad tidings,
6 Nsamu wumboti beni wutula nate kuidi beno banga bu wididi mu nza yimvimba. Wawu weti buta mimbutu ayi wulembo yendi ku ntuala; banga buididi mu beno tona lumbu kioki luwa ayi luzaba nlemvo wu Nzambi mu kiedika kiandi kioso.
which are come to you, as [they are] in all the world, [and] are bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day ye heard [them] and knew indeed the grace of God, in truth:
7 Epafalasi, nkundi eto wu luzolo mu kisalu, niandi wululonga wawu. Niandi widi kisadi kikuikama ki Klisto mu diambu dieno.
even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-bondman, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,
8 Niandi wutuzabikisidi boso buididi luzolo lueno mu pheve.
who has also manifested to us your love in [the] Spirit.
9 Diawu tona lumbu kioki tuwa buawu, beto mamveto, tukadi vonga mu kulusambidila ayi mu lomba muingi luba lufuluka mu nzayilu yi luzololuandi; mu nduenga yoso ayi mu diela di Kipheve.
For this reason we also, from the day we heard [of your faith and love], do not cease praying and asking for you, to the end that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
10 Mu diambu ludiatila mu phila yifuana mu Pfumu, muingi lummonisa khinimu mambu moso; bu lumbutanga mimbutu mu mavanga mambote ayi luetayunduka mu nzayilu yi Nzambi.
[so as] to walk worthily of the Lord unto all well-pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing by the true knowledge of God;
11 Niandi wela kulukindisa mu zingolo zioso boso buididi lulendo luandi lu nkembo mu diambu lubaka bu vibidila mu mambu moso ayi bu kangila ntima nate kuna tsukulu.
strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory unto all endurance and longsuffering with joy;
12 Mu khini, luvutulanga matondo kuidi Tata wutufuanisa muingi mamveno lubaka bu tambudila kiuka kioki kalundila banlongo boso mu kiezila. Bila:
giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light,
13 Niandi wutukula mu lulendo lu tombi ayi wutunata mu Kipfumu ki Muanꞌandi wu luzolo;
who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:
14 mu niandi tutambudidi khudulu ayi tutambudidi nlemvo wu masumu.
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;
15 Niandi mfikula yi Nzambi yi kayimonikanga ko ayi niandi wuthete mu butuka mu bivangu bioso.
who is image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation;
16 Bila mu niandi bima bioso bivangulu: bima biobi bidi mu diyilu ayi bima biobi bidi va ntoto, biobi bieti monika ayi biobi kabi monikanga ko, biba bikundu bi kipfumu voti bipfumu, voti bikulutu voti batu ba lulendo. Niandi wuvanga bima bioso; ayi biawu bivangulu mu diambu diandi.
because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.
17 Niandi widi ku ntuala bima bioso ayi bima bioso binzinga mu niandi.
And he is before all, and all things subsist together by him.
18 Niandi ntu wu nitu, dibundu diawu nitu. Niandi thonono; wuthete mu butuka mu batu bafua mu diambu kaba va buangu kithete mu bima bioso.
And he is the head of the body, the assembly; who is [the] beginning, firstborn from among the dead, that he might have the first place in all things:
19 Bila Nzambi wuzola ti kinzambi kiandi kioso kiba mu niandi.
for in him all the fulness [of the Godhead] was pleased to dwell,
20 Ayi mu niandi kazola vutudila nguizani yidi va khatitsika niandi veka ayi bima bioso; biba biobi bidi va ntoto voti biobi bidi ku diyilu bu kakivangila ndembama va dikulusi diandi mu menga mandi.
and by him to reconcile all things to itself, having made peace by the blood of his cross — by him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.
21 Beno lutuama ba batatuka ayi Nzambi, buela bambeni ziandi mu mayindu meno ayi mu diambu di mavanga meno mambimbi;
And you, who once were alienated and enemies in mind by wicked works, yet now has it reconciled
22 mu diambu di buabu, kalumonisa banlongo va ntualꞌandi, batu bakambulu tsembolo ayi bakambulu nzimbala va meso ma Nzambi; diawu Nzambi kavutudila nguizani andi ayi beno mu lufua lu nitu yi muanꞌandi.
in the body of his flesh through death; to present you holy and unblamable and irreproachable before it,
23 Mu bila kioki, lufueti ba bakangama mu minu, batungu ayi badi dio ngui. Lubika zimbukusu mu diana diodi di Nsamu wumboti wowo beno luwa. Nsamu wumboti beni wawu wusamunu muidi bivangu bioso bidi va ntoto ayi mu diambu di wawu minu Polo ndiyikila kisadi.
if indeed ye abide in the faith founded and firm, and not moved away from the hope of the glad tidings, which ye have heard, which have been proclaimed in the whole creation which [is] under heaven, of which I Paul became minister.
24 Buabu ndilembo moni khini mu ziphasi ziozi ndilembo moni mu diambu dieno. Ndilembo dukisa mu nituꞌama ziphasi zikambu mona Klisto mu diambu di nituꞌandi. Nituꞌandi yawu Dibundu.
Now, I rejoice in sufferings for you, and I fill up that which is behind of the tribulations of Christ in my flesh, for his body, which is the assembly;
25 Mu diambu di dibundu, ndiyikidi kisadi boso buididi kisalukiphana Nzambi mu diambu dieno, muingi ndikudisa mambu ma Nzambi.
of which I became minister, according to the dispensation of God which [is] given me towards you to complete the word of God,
26 Mambu beni madi mansueki momo masueko tona mu thonono yi zithangu ayi yi zitsungi vayi buabu mazabukusulu kuidi banlongo bandi. (aiōn g165)
the mystery which [has been] hidden from ages and from generations, but has now been made manifest to his saints; (aiōn g165)
27 Bila Nzambi wuzola kuba zabikisa boso buidi kimvuama ki nkembo bu mansueki momo va khatitsika Bapakanu bu dinsundula ti Klisto widi mu beno, niandi diana di nkembo.
to whom God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you the hope of glory:
28 Klisto beni niandi tueti samuna, mu lubula ayi mu longa kadika mutu mu nduenga yoso mu diambu tumonisa kadika mutu wufuana mu Klisto.
whom we announce, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, to the end that we may present every man perfect in Christ.
29 Kiawu kioki bila ndieti sadila ayi ndieti nuanina boso buididi zingolo ziandi; ziozi zilembo sadi mu lulendo mu minu.
Whereunto also I toil, combating according to his working, which works in me in power.
