Kološanima 1
1 Pavao, po volji Božjoj apostol Krista Isusa, i brat Timotej:
PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu the Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and the brother Timotheos,
2 Kološanima, svetoj i vjernoj braći u Kristu. Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega!
to those who are in Kulosos, the holy brethren and believers in Jeshu Meshiha: peace be with you, and grace from Aloha our Father.
3 Zahvaljujemo Bogu, Ocu Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, svagda za vas moleći.
We give thanks to Aloha the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in all time, and pray on your behalf,
4 Jer čuli smo za vašu vjeru u Kristu Isusu i za ljubav koju gajite prema svima svetima
even from our hearing of your faith in Jeshu Meshiha, and of your love to all the saints;
5 poradi nade koja vam je pohranjena u nebesima. Za nju ste već čuli u Riječi istine -
for the hope which is kept for you in heaven, which at the first you heard through the word of the truth of the gospel,
6 evanđelju koje je do vas doprlo te plodove nosi i raste, kao što po svem svijetu, tako i među vama od dana kad ste čuli i spoznali milost Božju po istini,
which is preached to you, as also to all the world, and increaseth and giveth fruits, as also in you from the day that you heard, and knew the grace of Aloha in truth,
7 kako ste naučili od ljubljenog Epafre, sluge zajedno s nama; on je umjesto nas, vjeran poslužitelj Kristov,
as you learned from Epaphra our beloved companion, who is himself for you a faithful minister of the Meshiha,
8 on nas je i obavijestio o vašoj ljubavi u Duhu.
and who hath made known to us your love, which is in the Spirit.
9 Zato i mi, od dana kada to čusmo, neprestano za vas molimo i ištemo da se ispunite spoznajom volje Njegove u svoj mudrosti i shvaćanju duhovnome:
ON account of this also we, from the day that we heard, have not ceased to pray for you, and to supplicate that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of Aloha in all wisdom and in all spiritual understanding,
10 da živite dostojno Gospodina i posve mu ugodite, plodni svakim dobrim djelom i rastući u spoznaji Božjoj;
and may walk according to that which is just, and may please Aloha in all good works, and may yield fruit, and increase in the knowledge of Aloha;
11 osnaženi svakom snagom, po sili Slave njegove, za svaku postojanost i strpljivost;
and in all power be empowered according to the greatness of his glory in all patience and prolongedness of spirit:
12 s radošću zahvaljujući Ocu koji vas osposobi za dioništvo u baštini svetih u svjetlosti.
and with joy may give thanks to Aloha the Father, who hath fitted us for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13 On nas izbavi iz vlasti tame i prenese u kraljevstvo Sina, ljubavi svoje,
and hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
14 u kome imamo otkupljenje, otpuštenje grijeha.
in whom we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins:
15 On je slika Boga nevidljivoga, Prvorođenac svakog stvorenja.
who is the image of Aloha the unseen, and the first-born of all the creatures.
16 Ta u njemu je sve stvoreno na nebesima i na zemlji, vidljivo i nevidljivo, bilo Prijestolja, bilo Gospodstva, bilo Vrhovništva, bilo Vlasti - sve je po njemu i za njega stvoreno:
And by him was every thing created that is in heaven and in earth; all that is seen, and all that is unseen, whether thrones or dominions, or princes or powers; all things by his hand and through him were created;
17 on je prije svega i sve stoji u njemu.
and he is before all, and every thing by him subsisteth.
18 On je Glava Tijela, Crkve; on je Početak, Prvorođenac od mrtvih, da u svemu bude Prvak.
And he is the head of the body of the church, (he) who is the chief and first-born from among the dead, that he should be preeminent in all.
19 Jer svidjelo se Bogu u njemu nastaniti svu Puninu
For in him (the Father) hath willed all fulness to dwell;
20 i po njemu - uspostavivši mir krvlju križa njegova - izmiriti sa sobom sve, bilo na zemlji, bilo na nebesima.
and by him to reconcile all things to himself, and to make peace through the blood of his cross, (even) by him, whether they be inhabitants in earth or in heaven.
21 I vas, nekoć po zlim djelima udaljene i neprijateljski raspoložene,
YOU also, who before were aliens and adversaries in your minds by your evil works,
22 sada u ljudskom tijelu Kristovu, po smrti, sa sobom izmiri da vas k sebi privede svete, bez mane i besprigovorne.
hath he reconciled now in the body of his flesh and through his death, to constitute you saints before him without spot and without blame;
23 Samo ako ostanete u vjeri utemeljeni, stalni i nepoljuljani u nadi evanđelja koje čuste, koje se propovijeda svakom stvorenju pod nebom, a ja mu, Pavao, postadoh poslužiteljem.
if you continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and be not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, and which is proclaimed to every creature who is under heaven, of which I, Paulos, am made a minister.
24 Radujem se sada dok trpim za vas i u svom tijelu dopunjam što nedostaje mukama Kristovim za Tijelo njegovo, za Crkvu.
I rejoice in the sufferings which are on your account, and fulfil the void of the afflictions of the Meshiha in my flesh for the sake of his body,
25 Njoj ja postadoh poslužiteljem po rasporedbi Božjoj koja mi je dana za vas da potpuno pronesem Riječ Božju -
which is the church; of which I am made a minister according to the dispensation of Aloha, which was given to me for you, to accomplish the word of Aloha;
26 otajstvo pred vjekovima i pred naraštajima skriveno, a sada očitovano svetima njegovim. (aiōn g165)
that mystery which was hidden from ages and generations, but now hath been revealed unto his saints. (aiōn g165)
27 Njima Bog htjede obznaniti kako li je slavom bogato to otajstvo među poganima: to jest Krist u vama, nada slave!
To whom Aloha hath willed to make known what is the opulence of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is, The Meshiha, who in you (is) the hope of glory;
28 Njega mi navješćujemo, opominjući svakoga čovjeka, poučavajući svakoga čovjeka u svoj mudrosti da bismo svakoga čovjeka doveli do savršenstva u Kristu.
whom we proclaim, and (concerning whom) we teach and inform every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Jeshu Meshiha;
29 Za to se i trudim i borim njegovom djelotvornošću koja u meni snažno djeluje.
for which also I labour and contend, according to the help of the power which is given to me.
