Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, a brother,
Pamhnama hlüeia Khritaw Jesuha ngsä kei Pawluh ja mi na Timoti üngka naw,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ Jesus, who are at Colossa.
Khritaw üng yümmatnak üng sitihkia ka nglawipüi, Kolawte mlüha veki Pamhnama khyange: mi Pa Pamhnam naw bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak ning jah pe se.
3 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.
Nami phäh kami ktaiyü üng mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa Pa üng aläa jenak kami mthehkie.
4 Hearing your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which you have towards all the saints.
Pamhnama khyange nami jah mhläkphyanak ja Khritaw Jesuh üng nami jumeinak kami ngjaka phäh ni.
5 For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel,
Ngthu kcang, Thangkdaw nami veia a pha law kcük üng, äpeinak a ning jah peta mawng nami ngja pängki. Nami jumeinak ja mhläkphyanak cun khankhawa ning jah üpawmsak khai tia nami äpeinaka khana veki.
6 Which is come unto you, as also it is in the whole world, and bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth.
Thangkdaw naw dawkyanak lawpüi lü, Pamhnama bäkhäknaka mawng nami ngjak kcük ua mhnüp üng cutei lü, acun cun akcang ni tia nami ksing law ua mäiha, khawmdek lum üng ngthang hüki.
7 As you learned of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus;
Mi nghngün üng Khritawa khut pawhki, mi mpyapüi u, Epapharah üngkhyüh Pamhnama bäkhäknak nami ngtheingthangkie.
8 Who also hath manifested to us your love in the spirit.
Ngmüimkhya naw a ning jah peta ngmüimkhya mhläkphyanak nami tak pi ani naw jah mthehki.
9 Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding:
Nami thang kami ngjak üngkhyüh cutei lü alä se kami ning jah ktaiyü petkie ni. A Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw a ning jah peta themngvainak ja pungngyam üngkhyüh a mlung hlü ksingnak thei a ning jah pet vaia Pamhnama veia kami ning jah ktaiyü petkie ni.
10 That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God:
Acun käna Bawipaa a hlüeia xüngsei lü ani jesak khaia khut aläa pawh u lü, dawkyakia khut mjüküm bilawh lü Pamhnam ksingnak üng nami dämduh law vai ua ning jah ktaiyü pet ni.
11 Strengthened with all might, according to the power of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy,
Ania hlüngtaikia johit üngka naw lawkia ngjuktha am kyansai u lü, acunüng ahmäi naküt mlung msaü lü nami dunei khawh khaie.
12 Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light:
A khyangea phäh Pamhnama Khawa a jah tak pet nami yah hnga khaia ning jah pyangki Pa Pamhnam cun jekyai na ua.
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
Anghmüpa johit üngka naw jah küikyan lü a mhlänak a Cakpaa khawa jah phasaki.
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins;
Acuna cakpaa phäh üng mi mkhyekate naküt jah mhlät se lätlangnak mi yahkie.
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Khritaw cun am hmuh thei Pamhnam hmuhnak theia kyaki ni. Ani cun a ca kcüka thawn lü mhnünceng naküt luma kthaka hlüngtai säihki ni.
16 For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and in him.
Pamhnam naw khankhawa veki ja khawmdeka veki naküte, hmuh thei ja am hmuh theie, ngmüimkhya johite, bawie ja khyaihnak khawhe naküt cun Ani üngkhyüh a jah tüipyang ni. Pamhnam naw mce ja khan hin Ani üngkhyüh mhnünceng lü Ania phäh a tüipyang ni.
17 And he is before all, and by him all things consist.
Khritaw cun anaküt am a mhnünceng ham üngkhyüh a na ve päng lü, anaküt cun pi ani am atänga awmki he.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he may hold the primacy:
Ani cun sangcim tia pumsaa lupum ni. Ani cun a pumsaa xünnak ahnuna pi kyaki. Ani cun Ca-kcük säiha kyaki, ahmäi naküt kthaka amät däk a hlüngtai säih vaia thihnak üngka naw mthawh be ma kcüki kyaki.
19 Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell;
Mhnama ning naküt a cakpa üng a kümbe cun Pamhnam amäta mkhyaha kyaki.
20 And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are in heaven.
Acun käna khawmdeknu hin a Cakpa üngkhyüh amäta veia a lawpüi be vaia Pamhnam naw ngja hlüki. Pamhnam naw kutlamktung üng thiki a Cakpaa thisen üngkhyüh ng’yenak pawh päng lü khawmdek ja khankhaw üng veki naküt pi amäta veia a lawpüi be.
21 And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works:
Ahlana nami bilawh ja nami cungngaih am daw se Pamhnam üng thuk lü a yea nami kya khawikie.
22 Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unspotted, and blameless before him:
Acunsepi atuh ta, Pamhnam naw a cakpaa thihnaka phäh üng a ning jah ng’yäppüi be hin, ngcimngcaih lü mkatei vai käh ve ti khaia amäta veia a ning jah lawpüi be ni.
23 If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven, whereof I Paul am made a minister.
Nami jumeinak ngkhäng lü nami leh ngkhän cäm se. Thangkdaw nami ngjak üng nami yaha äpeinak käh thäihngnawn ta kawm uki. Khawmdek khyang naküt üng ami mtheha hina thangkdawa phäh ni kei Pawluh pi mpyaa ka thawn law.
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church:
Nangmia phäh khuikhanak ka khamei hin jekyai veng. Khritaw naw a pumsa sangcima nghngün üng a khamei mcawt a kümceinak vaia kei naw ka pumsa am ka khameipüiki.
25 Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I may fulfill the word of God:
Khawkphyüm üngkhyüh tuh vei cäpa thupviha kya kyaw lüpi, tuhngawi üng ta a khyange üng jah mdana hlüngtaikia Pamhnama thangkdaw cun avana sang khaia, ahin khut a na pet hin nangmia dawnak vaia, kei cun Pamhnam naw sangcima mpyaa a na thawnsak ni. (aiōn g165)
27 To whom God would make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ, in you the hope of glory.
Mhnama ngjak hlü cun a khyangea phäha ngthup lü hlüngtainak ja bawimangnak cun a khyangea veia a jah mdan hlüa kyaki. Acuna khawh ngthup cun nami k’uma veki hlüngtaiki Khritaw ni. Acuna mawngma ta Pamhnama hlüngtainak nami yah hngaki tinak ni.
28 Whom we preach, admonishing every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
Acunakyase, Khritawa ngthu khyang naküt üng kami jah mthehki. Pungngyam mjüküm am jah mcuhmcäi lü khyang naküt Pamhnama maa Khritaw üng yümmat lü xüxamkia kba ami kya law vaia, khyang naküt kami jah mtheimthangkie ni.
29 Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me in power.
Ahin ka kpäng vaia, ka k’uma khüiki Khritaw naw a na peta ngjuktha am mthui lü ka khüiki.
