Colossians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the purpose of God, and Timothy our brother,
Ri Pablo uꞌtaqoꞌn ri Cristo Jesús rumal ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios, rachiꞌl ri alaxik Timoteo.
2 To the saints and true brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Chike ri tyoxalaj taq kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa Colosas chuya toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chike rech ri qatat Dios.
3 We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,
Kujtyoxin che ri Dios, Tataxel re ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, kaqabꞌan chꞌawem piꞌwiꞌ,
4 After hearing of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have for all the saints,
rumal qatom ri ikojobꞌal pa Cristo Jesús, xuqujeꞌ ri iloqꞌanik chike ri kojonelabꞌ.
5 Through the hope which is in store for you in heaven; knowledge of which was given to you before in the true word of the good news,
Xa rumal ri kuꞌlibꞌal ikꞌuꞌx ri yaktal pa ri kaj. Pa we kꞌulibꞌal kꞌuꞌx riꞌ, ri ix xita ri utz laj tzij re qas tzij, ri utz laj tzij
6 Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;
ri xopan iwukꞌ. We utz laj tzij riꞌ tajin kawachinik xuqujeꞌ tajin kakꞌiyik pa ronojel ri uwachulew, je xuqujeꞌ xkꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ix pa ri qꞌij ri xito xuqujeꞌ xichꞌobꞌ ri qas tzij rech ri jeꞌl laj utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
7 As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,
Jetaq ri xiwetaꞌmaj rukꞌ ri Epafras, patanil re ri Cristo xuqujeꞌ toꞌl qe uj, rumal iwe.
8 And who, himself, made clear to us your love in the Spirit.
Areꞌ xtzijon chaqe ri iloqꞌanik pa ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
9 For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,
Are xqatabꞌej rech we riꞌ, man uj tanalinaq taj che ubꞌanik chꞌawem piꞌwiꞌ. Kaqata che ri Dios rech kubꞌano chi rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal kiwetaꞌmaj ri rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ronojel etaꞌmanik xuqujeꞌ chꞌobꞌonik pa ri Uxlabꞌixel.
10 Living uprightly in the approval of the Lord, giving fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Rech je kixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri karaj ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kaqaj choch ronojel ri kibꞌano. Rech kixwachinik pa ronojel ri chak ri kibꞌano, xuqujeꞌ rech kixkꞌiy pa ri etaꞌmanik rech ri Dios.
11 Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;
Kaqata che ri Dios rech kayaꞌtaj ichuqꞌabꞌ rukꞌ ri jeꞌlalaj ukwinem rech ri ujuluwem. Rech ko kixkꞌojiꞌk, kixayeꞌnik rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal,
12 Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;
kujtyoxin che ri Tataxel ri xuya bꞌe chaqe kaqakꞌamawaꞌj qechabꞌal kukꞌ ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq, pa ri ajawarem rech ri tunal.
13 Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;
Areꞌ xujresaj xeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri qꞌequꞌmal xujuqꞌaxaj pa ri ajawarem rech ri Loqꞌalaj uKꞌojol.
14 In whom we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:
Pa Cristo xujtortaj wi, xuqujeꞌ xqakꞌamawaꞌj ri kuybꞌal qamak.
15 Who is the image of the unseen God coming into existence before all living things;
Ri Cristo are ukaꞌyebꞌal ri Dios ri man kilitaj taj. Are nim uqꞌij choch ronojel ri jastaq ri xetikik.
16 For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;
Rumal rech areꞌ xetikitaj ronojel ri jastaq pa ri kaj xuqujeꞌ choch ri uwachulew, ri jastaq ri kiꞌlitaj uwach, xuqujeꞌ ri man kiꞌlitaj ta uwach, tꞌuyulibꞌal kech e taqanelabꞌ, kwinem, e chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ winaq ri kabꞌan ke. Xtikitaj loq rumal areꞌ xuqujeꞌ rech areꞌ.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things have being.
Are kꞌo nabꞌe choch ronojel ri jastaq, xa rumal areꞌ e kꞌolik, are xuqujeꞌ kabꞌanowik chi kechakun ronojel.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.
Are ri Cristo ujolom ri komontyox, areꞌ majibꞌal rech ronojel, are nabꞌyal chike konojel ri e kꞌastajinaq, rech jeriꞌ areꞌ nabꞌyal che ronojel.
19 For God in full measure was pleased to be in him;
Rumal chi xraj ri Tataxel chi pa Cristo kakꞌojiꞌ ronojel ri Dios,
20 Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.
xuqujeꞌ rumal areꞌ xeꞌrutzirisaj ri jastaq ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew rukꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri kaj, xubꞌan jaꞌmaril chikixoꞌl, rukꞌ ri ukikꞌel ri xtixtobꞌ cho ri ripbꞌal.
21 And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one
Pune ojer ix najtininaq kanoq che ri Dios rumal ri iwetzelal xuqujeꞌ ri inoꞌjibꞌal, ix bꞌanal taq itzel taq chak.
22 In the body of his flesh through death, so that you might be holy and without sin and free from all evil before him:
Kamik kꞌut ri Dios, rukꞌ ri ukamikal ri Cristo xixrutzirisaj rech are kixujacho ixchꞌajchꞌoj, ix tyoxalaj taq winaq xuqujeꞌ xa ta ne jun makaj kariqitaj chiꞌwe are kixujach cho Areꞌ.
23 If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
Rech ko kixkꞌojiꞌ pa ri ikojobꞌal, man kixtzaq taj, rech man kixel ta pa ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri kutzuj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe. Are waꞌ ri utz laj tzij ri xito xuqujeꞌ ri tzijotal pa ronojel ri uwachulew xeꞌ ri kaj, are waꞌ ri tajin kintzijoj in, in Pablo.
24 Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;
Kinkiꞌkotik are kinriq ri kꞌax pa ri nutyoꞌjal rumal iwe, xuqujeꞌ kintzꞌaqatisaj pa ri nutyoꞌjal ri kajawataj na che ri qꞌoxomal rech ri Cristo, rumal rech ri utyoꞌjal, are waꞌ ri komontyox.
25 Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God,
Rumal we komontyox riꞌ xinux patanijel rech ri Dios rumal iwe, rech kintzijoj ri utzij ri Dios.
26 The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints, (aiōn g165)
Are kintzijoj ri awatal kan najtir ojer, qꞌij junabꞌ, kamik kꞌut xkꞌut chikiwach ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq. (aiōn g165)
27 To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Chike we winaq riꞌ ri Dios xraj xukꞌut ri ujuluwem rech ri uqꞌinomal ri awatal loq chikiwach ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are waꞌ ri Cristo ri kꞌo pa iwanimaꞌ ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx rech juluwem.
28 Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ;
Are waꞌ ri Cristo ri kaqatzijoj chike ri winaq, keꞌqapixibꞌax, kaqakꞌut chikiwach rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal rech e tzꞌaqat keꞌqajacho pa Cristo.
29 And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.
Rumal waꞌ kinchakunik kinkoj nuchuqꞌabꞌ ri kinkꞌamawaꞌj che ri Cristo, ri kachakun pa wanimaꞌ.
