Kolosa 1
1 Pathen kah kongaih dongah Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih Paul neh manuca Timothy loh,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy the brother,
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 saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colossae: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father.
3 Nangmih ham ka thangthui uh taitu tih mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a napa Pathen te ng'uem uh.
We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Jesuh Khrih ah nangmih kah tangnah neh hlangcim rhoek boeih taengah lungnah na khueh uh ka yaak te,
since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to 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.
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 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.
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 Hetah mamih kah sal puei neh thintlo Epaphras lamkah na yaak uh. Anih he nangmih ham Khrih kah uepom tueihyoeih ni.
even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf;
8 Amah loh nangmih kah lungnah, Mueihla dongkah te khaw mamih taengah a thuicaih.
who also brought to our knowledge your love in the 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.
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 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,
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 Amah thangpomnah dongkah thaomnah vanbangla uehnah neh thinsennah cungkuem dongla thaomnah boeih neh thaphoh sak ham ni.
endued with all power according to the might of his glory unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;
12 Vangnah dongah hlangcim rhoek kah hmulung dongkah buham la nangmih aka saii a pa te omngaihnah neh uem uh.
giving thanks to the Father, who enabled us to 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 rescued us from the empire of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son;
14 Amah dongah tholh khodawkngainah, tlannah te n'dang uh.
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins; —
15 Anih tah hmuhmueh Pathen kah mueimae, suentae boeih kah camingomthang ni.
who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of the whole 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.
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 Anih tah a cungkuem a om hlanah om tih cungkuem tah anih lamloh poe.
and he is before all things, 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.
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 Anih dongah a soepnah te boeih om sak ham neh anih rhangneh a cungkuem te amah taengah moeithen ham a lungtlun.
for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself,
20 A thinglam dongkah thii rhangneh amah loh diklai dongkah neh vaan kah te khaw a moeithen.
having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him, I say, whether the things on earth, or those in the heavens.
21 Hnukbuet ah nangmih te n'hai tih khoboe thae lamloh kopoek ah rhal la om.
And you, that were once alienated, and enemies in your mind in wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 Tedae nangmih te amah hmaiah hlangcim, cuemthuek neh cimbit la pai sak ham dueknah rhangneh a pumsa kah pum dongah a moeithen coeng.
in the body of his flesh through his death, to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable in his sight;
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 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 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 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 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 minister, according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me, for you, to fulfill 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 mystery which hath been hidden for ages and generations, but hath been now 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 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 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 preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in 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.
to which end I also am laboring, striving earnestly through his working, which worketh within me mightily.
