Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God,
2 Kolosa khaw awhkaw Khrih awh ypawm na ak awm koeinaa thlakciimkhqi venawh: Nangmih Pa Khawsa awhkaw qeennaak ingkaw ngaihqepnaak awm seh nyng.
and Timothy our brother, to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ at Colosse: grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nangmih Bawipa Jesu Khrih a Pa Khawsa venawh, nangmih aham ka mik cykcah awh, zeelnaak awi kqawn poepa unyng,
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always in our prayers for you:
4 Jesu Khrih awh nangmih ak cangnaak ingkaw thlakciimkhqi nami lungnaak ce ka ming zaak ak camawh,
(having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and your love to all the saints: )
5 ngaih-unaak awhkawng ak thoeng law cangnaak ingkaw lungnaak ce khawk khan na nangmih aham cun ce na awm hawh hy, ve akawng ve awitak awhkawng nangmih ing za hawh uhyk ti, awithang leek ce nangmih a venna law hawh hy.
for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye have heard before in the word of truth, that is the gospel;
6 Ce ak awi ce nangmih ing za u tiksaw Khawsam qeennaak ingkaw awitak ce naming zaksim coengawh kawng nangmih anglakawh bi a bi lawt amyihna khawmdek pum awh ve awithang leek ve ak thaih qah nawh hqam hqui hy.
which is come unto you, even as in all the world, and is fruitful; as it hath been also among you, from the day in which ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth.
7 Ve akawng ve tyihzawih pyi, kaimih ang zyng awh ypawm na Khrih bi ak bi Epaphra a ven awhkawng sim uhyk ti,
As ye also learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you;
8 anih ing Myihla awh nangmih ing lungnaak nami taak awm ka mi venna kqawn law hy.
who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9 Vawh, nangmih a thang ka ming zaak cyk awhkawng, nangmih aham cykcahnaak a boet kaana ta unyng. Amah ak kawngaih saithainaak ingkaw myihla ben cyihnaak boeih boeih ingkaw zaksimnaak boeih boeih ing nami benaak thai aham Khawsa venawh thoeh law nyng.
For this cause we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:
10 Bawipa ak kawngaih na hqing unawh ik-oeih soepkep awh amah ak kawzeelnaak nami sainaak aham cykcah nyng: ik-oeih soepkep awh ak thaih leek nami qah coengawh Khawsa simnaak benawh nami hqamnaak thai aham,
that ye may walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 yh thainaak ingkaw kawdungnaak nami taaknaak thai aham, amah boeimang thaawmnaak boeih ing tha awm sak na awm uhyk ti, zeel doena
strengthened with all might according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;
12 Pa a venawh zeel awi namik kqawnnaak thai aham, anih ing thlakciimkhqi ingkaw vangnaak qam khuiawh qo pang haih aham nangmih ce ni sai khqi hawh hy,
giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 kawtih amah than uknaak khui awhkawng ni hul khqi nawh a lungnaak a Capa qam khuina ni khyn khqi hawh hy,
who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:
14 anih awh ce nangmih ing hulnaak, thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak ce ni ta uhy.
in whom we have redemption by his blood, even the remission of sins.
15 Anih taw huh thai na amak awm Khawsa myi, ik-oeih sai boeih boeih ak khanawh ak thang cyk na awm hy.
Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of the whole creation:
16 Anih ak caming ik-oeih boeih boeih ve syn na awm hy: khan ing dek awhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih, huh thai ingkaw am huh thai boeih, ngawihdoelh sang ingkaw thaawmnaakkhqi, uknaakkhqi ingkaw saithainaakkhqi; a soep ik-oeih boeih ve amah ing amah aham sai hy.
for by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all were created by Him, and for Him.
17 Ik-oeih boeih a awm hlanawh anih taw awm hawh hy, anih awh ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce cun boeih hy.
He is before all, and by Him all things subsist.
18 Amah taw pum, thlangboel a lu na awm hy; ik-oeih soepkep a baunaak ak sang soeih na a awm thainaak aham, a kung ak kqannaak ingkaw thlakthi anglakawhkawng ak thang lamma na awm hy.
And He is the head of the body, which is the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence.
19 Anih awh a soepnaak ce Khawsa ak kaw zeelnaak na awm hy,
For it pleased the Father, that all fulness should dwell in Him;
20 amah ak caming a soep hoei, khawmdek khanawh ak awm ingkaw khanna ak awm boeih ce, thinglam awhkawng ak lawng law a thi ingkaw qoepnaak a sainaak ak caming qoepqui sak na ce awm hy.
and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; by Him only, whether they be things on earth, or things in heaven.
21 Khawsa ing pek qu hawh u tiksaw nami khawboe a seet a dawngawh kawlung awh qaal na awm hawh uhyk ti.
And you that were formerly alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
22 Cehlai tuh taw a haiawh a ma amak awm coet amak kap thlakciim na ani peek naak khqi thai ham, Khrih a pum a thihnaak ak caming nangmih ing tuqunaak ce sai hawh hy -
yet now hath He reconciled in the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and unblameable, and unreproveable in his sight:
23 cangnaak awh nami awm poe awhtaw, ak cak cana dyi unawh, awithang leek awhkaw ngaih-unaak ce koeh thoeih taak uh. Ve awithang leek ve nangmih ing za u tiksaw khawnghi ak kaiawh ak awm a sai ik-oeih boeih a venawh khypyi na awm hy, ve a dawngawh ni kai Paul awm tyihzawih na ka awm.
if so be ye continue grounded and settled in the faith, and be not moved from the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached throughout the whole creation, of which I Paul am a minister.
24 Tuh nangmih aham ka khuikhanaak awh ve zeel nyng, Khrih a khuikhanaak tika nataw ka pumsa awh ve be sak nyng; vetaw amah a pumna ak awm thlangboel aham nani.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up what is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for the sake of his body, which is the church.
25 Khawsa ing ani tyihnaak amyihna nangmih a venawh Khawsak awi ak soepna khypyi aham kai taw tyihzawih na awm nyng –
Of which I was made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I might fully declare the word of God:
26 cawhkaw awihyp kum khawqyt ingkaw cadil ceqyt thuh na ak awm ce, tuh awhtaw thlakciimkhqi venawh dang hawh hy. (aiōn g165)
even that mystery which was hid from former ages and generations, but is now manifested to his saints: (aiōn g165)
27 Cekkhqi venawh Khawsa ing vawhkaw a boeimang awihyp ve Gentelkhqi venawh kqawn aham tyi hawh hy, ce ik-oeih cetaw boeimangnaak ngaih-u na ak awm nangmih ak khui awhkaw khqi ceni.
to whom God would make known the rich glory of this mystery, among the gentiles; which is this, that Christ is in you the hope of glory:
28 Kaimih ing anih akawng ce khypyi unyng, toel unyng thlang boeih ce Khrih awh a soepnaak thai aham cyihnaak boeih ing cawngpyi unyng.
whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Ce ak bi hamna Khrih ak thamahnaak hawnaak ing bibi poepa nyng, cawhkaw thaawmnaak ing kai awh bibi hy.
in order to which I also labour, striving earnestly according to his energy which operates in me with power.
