Colossians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

Pathian deina tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak Paul le i suapui pa Timothy,

2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Colossae a om mithiangtho te le Christ sung ah a thuman suapui te: I Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ tung pan in thuthiamna le thinnopna note tung ah hong om tahen.

3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Pathian le i Topa Jesus Christ i Pa tung ah,

4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,

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.

5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News

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

6 which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,

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:

7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,

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;

8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

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

9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, do not cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

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;

10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

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;

11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

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;

12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,

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

13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,

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

14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.

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

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

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:

16 For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.

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:

17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

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

18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

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.

19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,

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

20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.

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

21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,

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,

22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,

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:

23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

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;

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

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:

25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,

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

26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages (aiōn g165) and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,

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

27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

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:

28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

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

29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

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