Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
PAULUS wanporon en Kristus Iesus amen pan kupur en Kot o ri atail Timoteus,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ong ri at saraui o lelapok ren Krisus akan, me mi Kolose; mak o popol sang ren Kot Sam atail o Kaun Iesus Kristus!
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Kit kin danke Kot o Sam en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus o kapakapa kin komail kaukaule.
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the (agape) love which all of you have to all the saints,
Kit lao rongadar duen omail poson Kristus Iesus, o omail limpok ong saraui kan karos,
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof all of you heard before in the (logos) word of the truth of the gospel;
Pweki kaporopor eu, me nekineki ong komail nanlang, duen me komail rongadar mas o ni padak melel en rongamau,
6 Which has come unto you, as it is in all the world; and brings forth fruit, as it does also in you, since the day all of you heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
Me lel wong komail o pil sap akan karos, o a kin wada o kakairida dueta re omail sang ni ran o, me komail rongadar o dedekier melel mak en Kot;
7 As all of you also learned of Epaphras our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
Duen omail padakki sang ren Epapras at warok kompok amen, me papa lelapok en Kristus ong komail amen,
8 Who also declared unto us your (agape) love in the (pneuma) Spirit.
Me pil kaireki dong kit duen omail limpok pena ni Ngen.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that all of you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
I me se sota kin dukedi sang at kapakapa kin komail o poekipoeki sang ni ran en at rongadar, pwe komail en direki erpit en kupur a, o komail en lolekong o koiok ngenin,
10 That all of you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
O kekeid wei duen me kon ong Kaun o, o kapareda wan wiawia mau karos, o kakairida ki asa Kot,
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
O keleki kel karos duen manaman en a lingan pwen dadaurata o kanongama ki peren,
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Danke Sam o, me kotin kamau kitail lar, en iang pwaisaneki soso en me saraui kan nan marain.
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his (agape) dear Son:
Me kotin kapiti sang kitail manaman en rotorot, ap kotin kasau kitail dong nan wein Na kompokepa,
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Me kotin dore kitail la iei lapwan dip atail,
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
I me kasale pan Kot, me so sansal, me meseni en audepa karos.
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Pwe karos wiauiki i, karos me mi nanlang o sappa, me sansal o me so sansal, ma me poe kan, de saumas akan, de wei kan, de manaman akan, meakaros wiauiki i o ong i.
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
O i me kotikot mon meakaros o meakaros memaureki i.
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 might have the preeminence.
O i tapwin war a, iei momodisou, o i me tapi o meseni en me iasadar sang ren me melar akan, pwe i en mon meakaros.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;
Pwe Kot kotin kileledier me mau kan karos en mi re a.
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
I ari kalolamau penang pein i meakan karos, ma ni sappa de nanlang, ni a kotin wiada muei mau ki ntan a lopu.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled
O komail, me doo wei sang o imwintiti mas o ni omail lamelame o wiawia sued akan,
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and irreproachable in his sight:
A kotin kalolamau komail lar ki war a uduk ni a matala, pwen kapware kin komail da saraui o pung o so kadeik pa omail mo a.
23 If all of you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which all of you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Ma komail dadaurata poson o tengeteng o so mokid wei sang ni kaporopor ki rongamau, me komail rongadar, o me lolok ong audepa karos me mi pan lang, me ngai Paulus wialar papa men.
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
I ap perenki ai kalokolok ki komail o men kaimwisok kila uduk ai me luedi ni kamekam en Kristus, pweki war a, iei momodisou,
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the (logos) word of God;
Me i wialar papa men duen koa dodok en Kot, me i aleer pweki komail pwen usela masan en Kot.
26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (aiōn g165)
Iei me rir kot, me rir sang nin tapin kaua o men kaua, a met a kadiarok ong sapwilim a saraui kan, (aiōn g165)
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Me Kot men kasansaleda kapwapwa en lingan en rir wet ong men liki kan, iei Kristus me kotikot lol omail, i kaporopor en lingan.
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
I me kit kin padaki o panepanaui aramas karos, o padapadaki aramas karos ni lolekong karos, pwe kit en kapwareda aramas karos ni unsoki ong Kristus.
29 Unto which I also labour, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
I me i pil dodok kelail, duen wiawia en i me kin dodok kelail lol i.
