Kolosa 1
1 Pathen kah kongaih dongah Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih Paul neh manuca Timothy loh,
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy,
2 Kolosa kah hlangcim rhoek neh Khrih ah uepom manuca rhoek te kan yaak sak. Nangmih taengah a pa Pathen taengkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah om saeh.
to the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
3 Nangmih ham ka thangthui uh taitu tih mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a napa Pathen te ng'uem uh.
We always give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ when we pray for you
4 Jesuh Khrih ah nangmih kah tangnah neh hlangcim rhoek boeih taengah lungnah na khueh uh ka yaak te,
(having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love toward all the saints),
5 vaan ah nangmih ham a tung ngaiuepnah rhangnen ni. Te tah nangmih taengla aka lo olthangthen kah oltak olka dongah na yaak uh coeng.
because of the hope that is being reserved for you in the heavens, of which you have already heard through the Word of the Truth
6 Diklai pum ah khaw thaihtak la om tih a rhoeng vanbangla Pathen lungvatnah oltak la na yaak uh tih na ming uh khohnin vaeng lamloh nangmih khuiah khaw om van coeng.
(the Gospel that has come to you just as also in all the world, where it is producing fruit and growing just as also among you, from the day in which you heard about and truly understood God's grace),
7 Hetah mamih kah sal puei neh thintlo Epaphras lamkah na yaak uh. Anih he nangmih ham Khrih kah uepom tueihyoeih ni.
even as you learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
8 Amah loh nangmih kah lungnah, Mueihla dongkah te khaw mamih taengah a thuicaih.
who also reported to us your love in spirit.
9 Te dongah kaimih khaw ka yaak uh khohnin lamkah te nangmih ham thangthui tih ka bih te ka toeng uh pawh. Te daengah ni cueihnah cungkuem neh mueihla ah yakmingnah dongah a kongaih mingnah te na cung uh eh.
For this very reason, since the day we heard of it, we have not stopped praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the real knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
10 A cungkuem dongah Boeipa kah kolo neh a tingtawk la pongpa sak ham, a cungkuem dongah bibi then neh thaihtak uh tih Pathen kah mingnah dongah rhoeng sak ham,
in order for you to walk worthily of the Lord, pleasing Him in every way, being fruitful in every good work and growing into the real knowledge of God;
11 Amah thangpomnah dongkah thaomnah vanbangla uehnah neh thinsennah cungkuem dongla thaomnah boeih neh thaphoh sak ham ni.
being enabled with all capability according to the strength that resides in His glory, for all endurance and steadfastness.
12 Vangnah dongah hlangcim rhoek kah hmulung dongkah buham la nangmih aka saii a pa te omngaihnah neh uem uh.
Nor have we stopped giving thanks joyfully to the Father who has qualified us for the share in the inheritance of the saints in the Light;
13 Amah loh yinnah kah saithainah lamloh mamih n'hlawt tih a lungnah a Capa kah ram la m'puen sak coeng.
who delivered us out of the dominion of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 Amah dongah tholh khodawkngainah, tlannah te n'dang uh.
in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our sins.
15 Anih tah hmuhmueh Pathen kah mueimae, suentae boeih kah camingomthang ni.
He is the visible representation of the invisible God, ‘Firstborn’ over all creation,
16 Amah lamloh vaan neh diklai hmankah hmuhthai neh hmuhmueh boeih te a suen. Ngolkhoel khaw, taemrhainah khaw, boeilu rhoek khaw, saithainah khaw a cungkuem te amah loh amah ham a suen.
because by Him all things were created—those in the heavens and those on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.
17 Anih tah a cungkuem a om hlanah om tih cungkuem tah anih lamloh poe.
Yes, He is before all, and in Him all things subsist.
18 Anih tah hlangboel pum kah a lu la om. Anih tah a tongnah neh duek khui lamloh camingomthang la om. Te daengah ni cungkuem dongah om vetih amah khaw a lamhma pai eh.
Also, He is the Head of the body, the Church. He is Beginning, the firstborn from among the dead, so that He may be preeminent in everything,
19 Anih dongah a soepnah te boeih om sak ham neh anih rhangneh a cungkuem te amah taengah moeithen ham a lungtlun.
because in Him all the Fullness was pleased to dwell
20 A thinglam dongkah thii rhangneh amah loh diklai dongkah neh vaan kah te khaw a moeithen.
and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross—through Him, whether things on the earth or things on the heavens.
21 Hnukbuet ah nangmih te n'hai tih khoboe thae lamloh kopoek ah rhal la om.
So now He has reconciled you as well (you who once were alienated and hostile in your mind because of your wicked works),
22 Tedae nangmih te amah hmaiah hlangcim, cuemthuek neh cimbit la pai sak ham dueknah rhangneh a pumsa kah pum dongah a moeithen coeng.
by His physical body through His death, so as to present you before Him holy and blameless and above reproach—
23 Na oei tangnah te khak na sut van atah na yaak uh olthangthen kah ngaiuepnah lamloh nongcen uh boeh. Vaan hmuikah suentae boeih taengah a hoe coeng tih kai Paul tah a tueihyoeih la ka om.
if, that is, you continue in the Faith established and firm, not drifting away from the hope of the Gospel, that you heard and that was proclaimed in all the creation under the heaven, of which I, Paul, became a servant.
24 Nangmih yueng la patangnah neh ka omngaih coeng. Amah pum yueng la ka pumsa dongah Khrih kah phacip phabaem lamloh vawtthoeknah te ka koei. Hlangboel tah amah pum ni.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf and supplement in my flesh the things lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the Church,
25 Kai tah te olthangthen kah tueihyoeih la ka om tih Pathen kah hnokhoemnah vanbangla Pathen kah olka te nangmih taengah tomthap ham kai m'paek coeng.
of which I became a servant according to the stewardship from God that was given to me towards you, to complete the Word of God,
26 Olhuep te khosuen lamkah neh suentae lamkah a thuh coeng dae tahae atah a hlangcim rhoek ham a phoe pah. (aiōn g165)
the secret that has been hidden from past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His saints; (aiōn g165)
27 Pathen loh he namtom taengah olhuep kah thangpomnah khuehtawn te phoe ham a ngaih. Te thangpomnah dongkah ngaiuepnah tah nangmih khuiah aka om Khrih ni.
to whom God resolved to make known who is the wealth of the glory of this secret among the nations, namely Christ in you, the hope of glory;
28 Hlang tom aka rhalrhing sak tih cueihnah cungkuem neh hlang tom aka thuituen mamih loh amah kawng ni n'doek uh. Te daengah ni hlang boeih he Khrih ah lungcuei la m'pai sak eh.
whom we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ.
29 Te ham khaw a bibi tarhing ah thakthae neh ka thingthuel dae ka khuiah thaomnah neh ha tueng.
It is to this end that I labor, striving according to His working that works through me with power.
