1 Pathen kah kongaih dongah Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih Paul neh manuca Timothy loh,

Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy, a 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 brothers in Christ Jesus who are at Colossae.

3 Nangmih ham ka thangthui uh taitu tih mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a napa Pathen te ng'uem uh.

Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying for you always.

4 Jesuh Khrih ah nangmih kah tangnah neh hlangcim rhoek boeih taengah lungnah na khueh uh ka yaak te,

For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that you have 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 has been stored up for you in heaven, which you have heard through the Word of Truth in 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.

This has reached you, just as it is present in the whole world, where it grows and bears fruit, as it has also done in you, since the day when you first heard 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.

just as you learned it from Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus.

8 Amah loh nangmih kah lungnah, Mueihla dongkah te khaw mamih taengah a thuicaih.

And he has also manifested to us 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.

Then, too, from the day when we first heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and requesting that you be filled with the knowledge of his will, with 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,

so that you may walk in a manner worthy of God, being pleasing in all things, being fruitful 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.

being strengthened in every virtue, in accord with the power of his glory, with all patience and longsuffering, 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 God the Father, who has made us worthy to have a share in the portion 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.

For he has rescued us from the power of darkness, and he has 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 redemption through his blood, the remission of sins.

15 Anih tah hmuhmueh Pathen kah mueimae, suentae boeih kah camingomthang ni.

He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature.

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 was created everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created through him and in him.

17 Anih tah a cungkuem a om hlanah om tih cungkuem tah anih lamloh poe.

And he is before all, and in him all things continue.

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 his body, the Church. He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, so that in all things he may hold primacy.

19 Anih dongah a soepnah te boeih om sak ham neh anih rhangneh a cungkuem te amah taengah moeithen ham a lungtlun.

For the Father is well-pleased that all fullness reside in him,

20 A thinglam dongkah thii rhangneh amah loh diklai dongkah neh vaan kah te khaw a moeithen.

and that, through him, all things be reconciled to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, for the things that are on earth, as well as the things that are in heaven.

21 Hnukbuet ah nangmih te n'hai tih khoboe thae lamloh kopoek ah rhal la om.

And you, though you had been, in times past, understood to be foreigners and enemies, with works of evil,

22 Tedae nangmih te amah hmaiah hlangcim, cuemthuek neh cimbit la pai sak ham dueknah rhangneh a pumsa kah pum dongah a moeithen coeng.

yet now he has reconciled you, by his body of flesh, through death, so as to offer you, holy and immaculate and blameless, before him.

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.

So then, continue in the faith: well-founded and steadfast and immovable, by the hope of the Gospel that you have heard, which has been preached throughout all creation under heaven, the Gospel of which I, Paul, have become 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.

For now I rejoice in my passion on your behalf, and I complete in my flesh the things that are lacking in the Passion 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.

For I have become a minister of the Church, according to the dispensation of God that has been given to me among you, so that I may 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 had remained hidden to past ages and generations, but which now is manifested 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 them, God willed to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ and the hope of his glory within you.

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.

We are announcing him, correcting every man and teaching every man, with all wisdom, so that we may offer every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

29 Te ham khaw a bibi tarhing ah thakthae neh ka thingthuel dae ka khuiah thaomnah neh ha tueng.

In him, too, I labor, striving according to his action within me, which he works in virtue.
