< Colossians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Pool Rangte thungpun jun ih Jisu Kristo kaamwah ih danjeeta nyia seng phono Timothi jiin nawa arah le ah—
2 To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
Kolosi nawa Rangte mina, marah Kristo damdi roong roopte seng mongnook joon awaan loong asuh: Seng loong wah Rangte ih sen suh tenthet nyia semroongroong ah toom kohan.
3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
Seng ih sen suh rangsoom koh idi Teesu Jisu Kristo Wah, seng Rangte suh saarookwih lakookmi kali ih.
4 because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints—
Tumeah seng ih, sen loong Jisu Kristo suh tuungmaang anrah nyia Rangte mina loong damdi minchan ih tongtha an rah ejap chaat etti.
5 the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel
Maatokdi sen jiinni amiisak tiit nyia Ruurang Ese ah phang thok taha adi, sen ih laalom thaang ah echojih eje ih chaattan. Erah thoih sen hanpi nyia minchan ah sen marah suh laalom lan erah di jeela, eno erah rangmong ni sen suh punpiipi ih banthiin kohalan.
6 that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.
Rangte tiitkhaap adi romseetam ah banje ruh ela, Heh minchan ah ephang di sengdung ni japchaat ano amiimi boh angka ih jattan ah likhiik mongrep ni jaatjaang ruh ih kala.
7 You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
Sen ih Rangte minchan ah Kristo laksuh seng loong dakbi ih mootkaatte, seng joonwah Epapras jiinko nawa japchaat tan.
8 and who also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
Heh ih sen suh Esa Chiiala ih minchan tumjaat kotahan erah tiit ah baat et tahe.
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Erah raangtaan ih seng ih sen tiit japchaatti dowa ih sen suh saarookwih rangsoom kohi. Rangte thung atak jun ih ejat esam toom ang an nyia jaatrep doh mongwah maakwah nyia thungse takmi ah Esa Chiiala ih toom kohan ih seng ih Rangte dowa suhi.
10 so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
Eno ba, sen ah Teesu ih jamha jun doh tongsong an nyia saarookwih heh tenroonjih ih re an. Sen roidong doh jaatrep eseejih loong ah sen reeraang pakna nah dong tiikngook anrah je ah, erah dam ih sen ah Rangte thung atak jun doh hak an.
11 being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully
Sen loong asuh hechaan hephaan nah rongkopkop tah apah toom kohan, eno ba sen ih jaatrep ah ese lam ih ejen naan et an. Eno Rangte suh tenroon lam ih lakookmi li an, tumeah Rangte ih heh mina loong raangtaan ih weephaak hasong ban thiinha adi sen uh ejen roong chowang ejih ih hoonkoh halan.
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.
13 He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,
Heh ih seng ah laamang chaan aphaan ih pan tahe dowa dok pang heeno, heh Sah hasong adi punpiipi ih thoksiit hali,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
heh sih janhaatta thoi ih ba seng ah pongwan angli, erah langla seng rangdah loong ah biin anaan hali.
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Kristo ah miktup di mik ih latupke Rangte ah likhiik. Heh ah miwah Sah phangkhothoon ih tup arah, jaatrep dongsiitta dowa o nang ih uh elongthoon.
16 For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
Tumeah, heh dowa ih ba Rangte ih rang nyia hah dowa jaatrep ah dongsiitta, miktup nyia mik ih latupke hukkhaak loong ah dongsiit eta, erah damdi chiilala chaan aphaan loong, teesu loong, phansiitte loong nyia ngoong awang loong ah dongsiitta. Rangte ih arah mongrep ah heh dowa ih nyia heh raangtaan ih dongsiitta.
17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
Kristo ah jaatrep hukkhaak loong maang dong di dook eje angta, eno heh dowa ih ba jaatrep ah phanjangjang ih marah doh angtheng ah erah di dong hoonta.
18 And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.
Kristo ah heteewah sak adi khoroopthoon angta, erah ah Chaas; heh ah sakpuh asuh roidong kotte. Heh ah phangkhothoon ih tup arah Sah phokhoh, tek nawa ngaakthingte warah ah, erah thoih ih jaatrep hukkhaak nganah heh ju ba ngakhothoon angjih.
19 For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,
Tumeah heh Sah rah Rangte dang ajang likhiik angtheng ih, Rangte heteewah kaanthot jun ih angta.
20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.
Erah lidi, Rangte ih mongrep thoontang ah heh teewah jiinko heh Sah jun ih ngaak siitwan suh kaanthotta. Rangte ih heh Sah ah semroongroong raangtaan ih bangphak ni heh sih janhaat thuk ano rangmong nyia hatoh nawa jaatrep loong ah heh jiinko ih ngaaksiit rumta.
21 Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds.
Pootsiit bah sen loong ah Rangte piiara ang anno heh jiin nawa haloot ni angtan, tumeah sen ih ethih tenthun nyia ethih reeraang re thoidi ah.
22 But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence—
Enoothong amadi, hansi ni heh Sah ah tek haat thoi ba, Rangte ih heh joonte ih hoon halan, tumeah heh ih sen ah heh jiinnah esa, saachamcham, nyia emoong muh, ih ngaaksiit suh thun halan.
23 if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Erah thoih sen ah, rongkopkop nyia amiisak tuungmaang nah ban tongruh jaatjaat ejih, eno sen ih ruurangese japchaat han dowa ih sen teeteewah erah laalom lan dowa lakah lengli theng ih tong an. Erah ah juuba Rangte tiitkhaap, ngah Pool, heh laksuh ih hoonlang—arah Rangte tiit ah mongrep noongrepwih ni jaatjaang tumbaat kaatte wah ah.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.
Amadi, ngah sen raangtaan ih chamnaang lang asuh eroon elang, tumeah, ngah hansi ni chamnaang lang ah langla, Jisu Kristo ih heh Sakpuh, Chaas, ah raangtaan ih mathan we boot chamjih angta rah ngah ih roongthoon hui hang.
25 I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully proclaim to you the word of God,
Ngah ah Rangte ih Chaas laksuh ih hoon halang, arah mootkaat ah sen loong ese raangtaan ih moh thuk halang. Arah mootkaat ah langla heh tiitkhaap ah laanlang ruh ih tumbaat jih,
26 the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints. (aiōn )
husah tiitkhaap teewah dowa ih dook mina roirep suh labaat thang ih huthiinta rah, heh mina loong suh amadi dongjat thuk ha. (aiōn )
27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Rangte kaankoong ah langla heh mina loong suh husah tiitkhaap ah jatthuk suh angta, erah husah tiit ah rapne changteng tiit nyia chaan aphaan tiit heh mina loongtang raang ih angta. Eno Kristo sen damdi ang hala ajuuba husah tiit, erah langla sen ah Rangte chaan aphaan adoh roong chophaak an.
28 We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
Erah thoih seng ih Kristo tiit ah mirep suh tumbaat hi. Seng ih hethung hetak jun ih heh tiit ah choophaan baat hi nyia nyootsoot hi, warep ah Rangte pandoh thungsek taklek Kristo damdoh roop lam ih thoksiit suh ah.
29 To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
Erah jen re suh ngaatah ngaapah Kristo ih mathan kohalang erathan ih sapreelang nyia chamnaang lang, eno erah chaan aphaan nawa ih juuba nga roidong ni moh ra hala.
