Kolawte 1
1 Pamhnama hlüeia Khritaw Jesuha ngsä kei Pawluh ja mi na Timoti üngka naw,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy the brother,
2 Khritaw üng yümmatnak üng sitihkia ka nglawipüi, Kolawte mlüha veki Pamhnama khyange: mi Pa Pamhnam naw bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak ning jah pe se.
to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colossae: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father.
3 Nami phäh kami ktaiyü üng mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa Pa üng aläa jenak kami mthehkie.
We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Pamhnama khyange nami jah mhläkphyanak ja Khritaw Jesuh üng nami jumeinak kami ngjaka phäh ni.
since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
5 Ngthu kcang, Thangkdaw nami veia a pha law kcük üng, äpeinak a ning jah peta mawng nami ngja pängki. Nami jumeinak ja mhläkphyanak cun khankhawa ning jah üpawmsak khai tia nami äpeinaka khana veki.
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 gospel,
6 Thangkdaw naw dawkyanak lawpüi lü, Pamhnama bäkhäknaka mawng nami ngjak kcük ua mhnüp üng cutei lü, acun cun akcang ni tia nami ksing law ua mäiha, khawmdek lum üng ngthang hüki.
which is come to you, as it is in all the world, and is bearing fruit and growing, as it doth also in you, from the day ye heard it, and knew the grace of God in truth;
7 Mi nghngün üng Khritawa khut pawhki, mi mpyapüi u, Epapharah üngkhyüh Pamhnama bäkhäknak nami ngtheingthangkie.
even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf;
8 Ngmüimkhya naw a ning jah peta ngmüimkhya mhläkphyanak nami tak pi ani naw jah mthehki.
who also brought to our knowledge your love in the Spirit.
9 Nami thang kami ngjak üngkhyüh cutei lü alä se kami ning jah ktaiyü petkie ni. A Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw a ning jah peta themngvainak ja pungngyam üngkhyüh a mlung hlü ksingnak thei a ning jah pet vaia Pamhnama veia kami ning jah ktaiyü petkie ni.
On this account we also, from the day we heard of it, cease not to pray for you, and to ask that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 Acun käna Bawipaa a hlüeia xüngsei lü ani jesak khaia khut aläa pawh u lü, dawkyakia khut mjüküm bilawh lü Pamhnam ksingnak üng nami dämduh law vai ua ning jah ktaiyü pet ni.
that ye may walk worthily of the Lord so as to please him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Ania hlüngtaikia johit üngka naw lawkia ngjuktha am kyansai u lü, acunüng ahmäi naküt mlung msaü lü nami dunei khawh khaie.
endued with all power according to the might of his glory unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;
12 A khyangea phäh Pamhnama Khawa a jah tak pet nami yah hnga khaia ning jah pyangki Pa Pamhnam cun jekyai na ua.
giving thanks to the Father, who enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;
13 Anghmüpa johit üngka naw jah küikyan lü a mhlänak a Cakpaa khawa jah phasaki.
who rescued us from the empire of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son;
14 Acuna cakpaa phäh üng mi mkhyekate naküt jah mhlät se lätlangnak mi yahkie.
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins; —
15 Khritaw cun am hmuh thei Pamhnam hmuhnak theia kyaki ni. Ani cun a ca kcüka thawn lü mhnünceng naküt luma kthaka hlüngtai säihki ni.
who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of the whole creation;
16 Pamhnam naw khankhawa veki ja khawmdeka veki naküte, hmuh thei ja am hmuh theie, ngmüimkhya johite, bawie ja khyaihnak khawhe naküt cun Ani üngkhyüh a jah tüipyang ni. Pamhnam naw mce ja khan hin Ani üngkhyüh mhnünceng lü Ania phäh a tüipyang ni.
for in him were created all things, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things have been created through him and for him;
17 Khritaw cun anaküt am a mhnünceng ham üngkhyüh a na ve päng lü, anaküt cun pi ani am atänga awmki he.
and he is before all things, and in him all things subsist.
18 Ani cun sangcim tia pumsaa lupum ni. Ani cun a pumsaa xünnak ahnuna pi kyaki. Ani cun Ca-kcük säiha kyaki, ahmäi naküt kthaka amät däk a hlüngtai säih vaia thihnak üngka naw mthawh be ma kcüki kyaki.
And he is the head of the body, the church; since he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that he may be in all things pre-eminent;
19 Mhnama ning naküt a cakpa üng a kümbe cun Pamhnam amäta mkhyaha kyaki.
for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself,
20 Acun käna khawmdeknu hin a Cakpa üngkhyüh amäta veia a lawpüi be vaia Pamhnam naw ngja hlüki. Pamhnam naw kutlamktung üng thiki a Cakpaa thisen üngkhyüh ng’yenak pawh päng lü khawmdek ja khankhaw üng veki naküt pi amäta veia a lawpüi be.
having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him, I say, whether the things on earth, or those in the heavens.
21 Ahlana nami bilawh ja nami cungngaih am daw se Pamhnam üng thuk lü a yea nami kya khawikie.
And you, that were once alienated, and enemies in your mind in wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 Acunsepi atuh ta, Pamhnam naw a cakpaa thihnaka phäh üng a ning jah ng’yäppüi be hin, ngcimngcaih lü mkatei vai käh ve ti khaia amäta veia a ning jah lawpüi be ni.
in the body of his flesh through his death, to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable in his sight;
23 Nami jumeinak ngkhäng lü nami leh ngkhän cäm se. Thangkdaw nami ngjak üng nami yaha äpeinak käh thäihngnawn ta kawm uki. Khawmdek khyang naküt üng ami mtheha hina thangkdawa phäh ni kei Pawluh pi mpyaa ka thawn law.
if ye indeed continue in the faith grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye heard, which hath been preached in the whole creation under heaven; of which I Paul became a minister.
24 Nangmia phäh khuikhanak ka khamei hin jekyai veng. Khritaw naw a pumsa sangcima nghngün üng a khamei mcawt a kümceinak vaia kei naw ka pumsa am ka khameipüiki.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up instead that which is wanting of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh on behalf of his body, which is the church;
25 Khawkphyüm üngkhyüh tuh vei cäpa thupviha kya kyaw lüpi, tuhngawi üng ta a khyange üng jah mdana hlüngtaikia Pamhnama thangkdaw cun avana sang khaia, ahin khut a na pet hin nangmia dawnak vaia, kei cun Pamhnam naw sangcima mpyaa a na thawnsak ni. (aiōn g165)
of which I became a minister, according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me, for you, to fulfill the word of God,
the mystery which hath been hidden for ages and generations, but hath been now revealed to his saints; (aiōn g165)
27 Mhnama ngjak hlü cun a khyangea phäha ngthup lü hlüngtainak ja bawimangnak cun a khyangea veia a jah mdan hlüa kyaki. Acuna khawh ngthup cun nami k’uma veki hlüngtaiki Khritaw ni. Acuna mawngma ta Pamhnama hlüngtainak nami yah hngaki tinak ni.
to whom it was the will of God to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;
28 Acunakyase, Khritawa ngthu khyang naküt üng kami jah mthehki. Pungngyam mjüküm am jah mcuhmcäi lü khyang naküt Pamhnama maa Khritaw üng yümmat lü xüxamkia kba ami kya law vaia, khyang naküt kami jah mtheimthangkie ni.
whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;
29 Ahin ka kpäng vaia, ka k’uma khüiki Khritaw naw a na peta ngjuktha am mthui lü ka khüiki.
to which end I also am laboring, striving earnestly through his working, which worketh within me mightily.
