كُولُوسِي 1

١ 1 بُولُسُ، رَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِمَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ، وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ ٱلْأَخُ،

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

٢ 2 إِلَى ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي كُولُوسِّي، وَٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

٣ 3 نَشْكُرُ ٱللهَ وَأَبَا رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، مُصَلِّينَ لِأَجْلِكُمْ،

We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

٤ 4 إِذْ سَمِعْنَا إِيمَانَكُمْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، وَمَحَبَّتَكُمْ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ،

having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,

٥ 5 مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّجَاءِ ٱلْمَوْضُوعِ لَكُمْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ قَبْلًا فِي كَلِمَةِ حَقِّ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِي قَدْ حَضَرَ إِلَيْكُمْ كَمَا فِي كُلِّ ٱلْعَالَمِ أَيْضًا، وَهُوَ مُثْمِرٌ كَمَا فِيكُمْ أَيْضًا مُنْذُ يَوْمَ سَمِعْتُمْ وَعَرَفْتُمْ نِعْمَةَ ٱللهِ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ.

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,

٧ 7 كَمَا تَعَلَّمْتُمْ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَبَفْرَاسَ ٱلْعَبْدِ ٱلْحَبِيبِ مَعَنَا، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ خَادِمٌ أَمِينٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ لِأَجْلِكُمُ،

even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,

٨ 8 ٱلَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَيْضًا بِمَحَبَّتِكُمْ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ.

who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

٩ 9 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا، مُنْذُ يَوْمَ سَمِعْنَا، لَمْ نَزَلْ مُصَلِّينَ وَطَالِبِينَ لِأَجْلِكُمْ أَنْ تَمْتَلِئُوا مِنْ مَعْرِفَةِ مَشِيئَتِهِ، فِي كُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ رُوحِيٍّ،

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

١٠ 10 لِتَسْلُكُوا كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِلرَّبِّ، فِي كُلِّ رِضًى، مُثْمِرِينَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، وَنَامِينَ فِي مَعْرِفَةِ ٱللهِ،

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

١١ 11 مُتَقَوِّينَ بِكُلِّ قُوَّةٍ بِحَسَبِ قُدْرَةِ مَجْدِهِ، لِكُلِّ صَبْرٍ وَطُولِ أَنَاةٍ بِفَرَحٍ،

strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

١٢ 12 شَاكِرِينَ ٱلْآبَ ٱلَّذِي أَهَّلَنَا لِشَرِكَةِ مِيرَاثِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي ٱلنُّورِ،

giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,

١٣ 13 ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ سُلْطَانِ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَنَقَلَنَا إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ ٱبْنِ مَحَبَّتِهِ،

who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,

١٤ 14 ٱلَّذِي لَنَا فِيهِ ٱلْفِدَاءُ، بِدَمِهِ غُفْرَانُ ٱلْخَطَايَا.

in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.

١٥ 15 ٱلَّذِي هُوَ صُورَةُ ٱللهِ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَنْظُورِ، بِكْرُ كُلِّ خَلِيقَةٍ.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

١٦ 16 فَإِنَّهُ فِيهِ خُلِقَ ٱلْكُلُّ: مَا في ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، مَا يُرَى وَمَا لَا يُرَى، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ عُرُوشًا أَمْ سِيَادَاتٍ أَمْ رِيَاسَاتٍ أَمْ سَلَاطِينَ. ٱلْكُلُّ بِهِ وَلَهُ قَدْ خُلِقَ.

For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.

١٧ 17 ٱلَّذِي هُوَ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَفِيهِ يَقُومُ ٱلْكُلُّ،

He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

١٨ 18 وَهُوَ رَأْسُ ٱلْجَسَدِ: ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ. ٱلَّذِي هُوَ ٱلْبَدَاءَةُ، بِكْرٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ هُوَ مُتَقَدِّمًا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّهُ فِيهِ سُرَّ أَنْ يَحِلَّ كُلُّ ٱلْمِلْءِ،

For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,

٢٠ 20 وَأَنْ يُصَالِحَ بِهِ ٱلْكُلَّ لِنَفْسِهِ، عَامِلًا ٱلصُّلْحَ بِدَمِ صَلِيبِهِ، بِوَاسِطَتِهِ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ: مَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، أَمْ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.

٢١ 21 وَأَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ قَبْلًا أَجْنَبِيِّينَ وَأَعْدَاءً فِي ٱلْفِكْرِ، فِي ٱلْأَعْمَالِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ، قَدْ صَالَحَكُمُ ٱلْآنَ

You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,

٢٢ 22 فِي جِسْمِ بَشَرِيَّتِهِ بِٱلْمَوْتِ، لِيُحْضِرَكُمْ قِدِّيسِينَ وَبِلَا لَوْمٍ وَلَا شَكْوَى أَمَامَهُ،

yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,

٢٣ 23 إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ عَلَى ٱلْإِيمَانِ، مُتَأَسِّسِينَ وَرَاسِخِينَ وَغَيْرَ مُنْتَقِلِينَ عَنْ رَجَاءِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ، ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ، ٱلْمَكْرُوزِ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْخَلِيقَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، ٱلَّذِي صِرْتُ أَنَا بُولُسَ خَادِمًا لَهُ.

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

٢٤ 24 ٱلَّذِي ٱلْآنَ أَفْرَحُ فِي آلَامِي لِأَجْلِكُمْ، وَأُكَمِّلُ نَقَائِصَ شَدَائِدِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِي جِسْمِي لِأَجْلِ جَسَدِهِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةُ،

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

٢٥ 25 ٱلَّتِي صِرْتُ أَنَا خَادِمًا لَهَا، حَسَبَ تَدْبِيرِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُعْطَى لِي لِأَجْلِكُمْ، لِتَتْمِيمِ كَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ.

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,

٢٦ 26 ٱلسِّرِّ ٱلْمَكْتُومِ مُنْذُ ٱلدُّهُورِ وَمُنْذُ ٱلْأَجْيَالِ، لَكِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أُظْهِرَ لِقِدِّيسِيهِ، (aiōn g165)

the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints, (aiōn g165)

٢٧ 27 ٱلَّذِينَ أَرَادَ ٱللهُ أَنْ يُعَرِّفَهُمْ مَا هُوَ غِنَى مَجْدِ هَذَا ٱلسِّرِّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ فِيكُمْ رَجَاءُ ٱلْمَجْدِ.

to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

٢٨ 28 ٱلَّذِي نُنَادِي بِهِ مُنْذِرِينَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَمُعَلِّمِينَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، بِكُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ، لِكَيْ نُحْضِرَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ كَامِلًا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

٢٩ 29 ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي لِأَجْلِهِ أَتْعَبُ أَيْضًا مُجَاهِدًا، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي يَعْمَلُ فِيَّ بِقُوَّةٍ.

for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
