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 Pathian le i Topa Jesus Christ i Pa tung ah,

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always in our prayers for you:

4 Christ Jesus sung ah na upna uh le mithiangtho theampo tung ah na nei uh itna thu ka zak uh pan kipan in, lungdam ko in, thu kong ngetsak tawntung uh hi.

(having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and your love to all the saints: )

5 Banghangziam cile vantung sia note atu a ki koi lametna hi a, nidang in lungdamna thupha thuman thu na za zo uh hi;

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 Tua lungdamna thupha na za uh a, Pathian thuthiamna sia thuman taw na heak uh ni pan kipan, leitung theampo ah a thet bangma in, note tung ah zong hong theng hi; taciang note sung ah a nga bang in leitung theampo ah zong nga pha nga hi:

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 Ka it uh sila le ka nasep pui Epaphras tung pan zong na sin sa uh bangma in, ama sia note atu in a thuman Christ i naseam a hihi;

As ye also learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you;

8 Ama in Thaa sung ah note i itna thu zong kote tung ah hong pualak zo hi.

who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

9 Hi thu hang in kote zong, note i thu ka zak uh ni pan kipan, thaa lam telthiamna le ciimna sung ah, Ama deina heakna taw na kidim thei natu deisakna ahizong;

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 Tabang in Topa lungkimsak na taw a ki phu in na nuntak thei natu uh ahizong, nasep pha khatsim sung ah tampitak na nga thei natu uh le Pathian heakna sung ah na khanto thei natu uh ahizong;

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 Ama i a vanglian minthanna bang in, hatna theampo taw hong thahatsak tu a, thuakzawkna le thinsauna theampo sung ah lungdamna taw na kidim thei natu in ahizong, note atu tatsat ngawl in thu ka ngen tawntung uh hi;

strengthened with all might according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;

12 Khuavak sung ah mithiangtho te i ngamh a lua pui te a hi tu in hong vawt Pathian tung ah lungdam ka ko hi:

giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Ama in khuazing i thuneina pan in kong suaktasak zo a, a it a Tapa i ukna sung ah hong khin zo hi:

who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:

14 Tapa sung ah a thisan tungtawn in tatkhiatna le maw maisakna i nei hi:

in whom we have redemption by his blood, even the remission of sins.

15 Ama sia a ki mu thei ngawl Pathian i lim le meal hi a, a ki piangsak theampo sung ah tapa upa bel a hihi:

Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of the whole creation:

16 Banghangziam cile Ama tungtawn in na theampo piangsak zo hi, vantung a om na theampo le leitung a om theampo, a ki mu thei le a ki mu thei ngawl na theampo, kumpi tokhum te, ukna te, thuneina te, vangletna te le na theampo te sia Ama in piangsak zo a, taciang Ama atu a hihi:

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 Taciang Ama sia na theampo om ma in om zo a, na theampo sia Ama tungtawn in kip hi.

He is before all, and by Him all things subsist.

18 Ama sia pumpi a kici pawlpi i lutang a hihi: Ama sia a kipat cil na hi a, na theampo sung ah Ama sia tungnungbel a hi thei natu in, thina pan tapa upa bel a hihi.

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 Banghangziam cile Tapa sung ah na theampo a cing in a omtu sia Pathian i lungkimna a hihi;

For it pleased the Father, that all fulness should dwell in Him;

20 Taciang leitung na le vantung na theampo sia Ama tung ah thinglamte tung a thisan tungtawn in kilemna vawt hi.

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 Taciang note, Pathian taw na kikhen uh a, nasep pha ngawl te hang in na thinsung uh ah Pathian i ngal te na hi ngei uh hi,

And you that were formerly alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works,

22 Ahihang tu in, note sia a thiangtho, a ki mawsiat thei ngawl le ki tek kul ngawl in Ama mai ah piak tu in a pumpi thina tungtawn in kilemna vawt zo hi:

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 A kip le a kho in upna sung ah hong zom zo a, na zak uh lungdamna thupha lametna pan na ki khin bua uh ahile, tua lungdamna thupha sia van nuai ah a ki piangsak na theampo tung a ki pualak thu a hihi; tua mun ah keima Paul sia Pathian naseam tu in hong vawt hi;

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 Tu in note atu ka thuakna te sung ah ka lungdam hi, tua thu sia a kisam lai Christ i haksatna te sia pawlpi a kici a pumpi atu in keima pumpi sung ah ka dimsak hi:

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 Pathian thu sia a khuangkhim tu in Pathian i nasep note atu hongpiak bang in, Pathian naseam in hong vawt zo hi;

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 Khang tampi sung a ki phualseal thuku sia tu in Ama mithiangtho te tung ah hong kilangsak zo hi: (aiōn g165)

even that mystery which was hid from former ages and generations, but is now manifested to his saints: (aiōn g165)

27 Hi a tuanngen thuku i hauna sia mithiangtho te tung pan Gentile mite tung ah Pathian in hesak nuam hi; tua thu sia note sung ah a om Christ hi a, minthanna i a lametna a hihi:

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 Christ Jesus sung ah mi theampo picing in hongpiak thei natu ciimna theampo taw mi theampo sia kidopna pia in ka hil uh hi:

whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

29 Tua thu sia keima zong Ama vangletna bang in na ka seam hi, tua vangletna in ka sung ah thahattak in na seam hi.

in order to which I also labour, striving earnestly according to his energy which operates in me with power.
