< Colossians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
Paul lokv, Pwknvyarnv gv mvnglwk lokv Jisu Kristo gv apostol akobv rinv, okv ngonugv achiboru Timoti lokv—
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.
Pwknvyarnv gv nyi Kolosae lo doonv, ngonugv lvgabv Kristo gvlo mvngjwng sinv ajin vdw: Ngonugv Abu Pwknvyarnv nonua ayanam okv sarsopoyo nama jilaka.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Ngonugv Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv Abua, vdwlo nonugv lvgabv kumrinyi, ngonu Pwknvyarnvnyi umbonyikv vbv jidunv.
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the (agape) love which all of you have to all the saints,
Vkvlvgavbolo nonugv Jisu Kristonyi mvngjwngla okv Pwknvyarnv gv nyi vdwa nonugv paknam am ngonu tvvpadu.
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;
Vdwlo jvjvrungnv doin, alvnv yunying ngv, nonu gvlo atuake bv aacho kubvdw, mvngtin kunam gv lvkwng lo tvvpatoku. Vkvlvgabv nonugv mvngjwng okv pakmisinam lvgabv nonu ogugo mvngtin sidudw, um nonugv lvgabv nyidomooku lo pvvjidunv.
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:
Pwknvyarnv gv anyuaya nam lvkwng lo tvvtutvke bv nonugv pingkolo tvvpa dw alu lokv okv si jvjv gurung vla chiri lokv gamlv ngv chinggodogo mooku soka gosik karla okv boktalwkji kunam am laalwk jitoku.
7 As all of you also learned of Epaphras our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
Nonu Pwknvyarnv gv aya nga, ngonugv pakbu ribam ajin, Oogv ngonugv lvgabv mvngjwng sila Kristo gv kudungkua rinv Epapras gv lokv ngv chintoku.
8 Who also declared unto us your (agape) love in the (pneuma) Spirit.
Hv Dow lokv nonua paknam jilwk kunama ngonua mintam jitoku.
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;
Soogv lvkwnglo nonu lvgabv ngonu tvvpa dala riyi lokv nonu lvgabv, ngonu kumbv jikila ridunv. Ngonu Pwknvyarnvnyi ninyigv mvnglwk lo chinampanam, mvngkimvnglak okv tvvlakbulak gvnvnv dow jilwk nama nonu gvlo pwklwk jitokv vla kumdunv.
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;
Vbvribolo nonu Ahtu gv mvnglwk bv nonu singla reku okv ninyigv oguaingbv mvngjwk dudw vbvching mvngpu dubv ribv jila reku. Nonugv singnamrinam lo nvgwng mvnwng gv alvnam kudungkua ngv boklinre, okv Pwknvyarnv gvlo nonu chinvpanv gobv singchare
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Ninyigv yunglitnv jwkrwv mvnwng ngv oogv aanv vv nonua gwlwksopa dubv mvgv yilaka, vkvlvgavbolo ogumvnwng gv hirukaya nam dvdv nga chitam sila ridula saktv lakdubv.

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his (agape) dear Son:
Kanvparam gv jwkrw lokv hv ngonua ringlin toku okv ninyigv Kuunyilo gv karv lo laalwk laku ringlwkto.
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Vbvriku lokv gvngv ngonua anyujvbv rimindakmin moduku okv ngonugv rimur am mvngnga jitoku.
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Kaapa nyolanv Kristo kaapa nyoka manam Pwknvyarnv aingdo. Hv bvngtubvngke bv bvngnam Kuunyilo go, pwklinyarlinnam dvdv nga kaiyachok nvgo.
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:
Holvgabv ninyigv lokv nyidomooku lo doonv okv sichingmooku lo doonv, kaapanam okv kaapa manam ikimora, dowjwklo jwkrw, atu vdwa, rigvdonv, okv tujupkunam vdw aka mintakla mvnwng nga Pwknvyarnv Pwklinto. Pwknvyarnv ninyigv lokv ngv chinggodogo mvnwng nga pwktoku okv ninyigv lvgabv pwktoku.
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Ogumvnwng ngv dooma tvbv Kristo doocho linto, okv ninyi gvlo akingobv ridula ogumvnwng ngv atubogv dooji kolo doosu toku.
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.
Hv ninyigv adwnanmar gv dumpo ngv, oogv adwnamar vv gvrja ngv; hv adwnamar gv turlin kobv ridunv. Hv sipikula turkur kunv, Hv mvngchik ogumvnwng nga doocho yachok kunam lvgabv Kuunyilo bvngtu bv ridunv.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;
Holvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv ninyigv Kuunyilo nga Pwknvyarnv gv ridungnga ridubv ninyi atubogv mvngnam lokv mimbwk toku.
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.
Vbvrikunamv, Kuunyilo lokv, Pwknvyarnv ninyi atubogv gvlo chinggodogo nga laakur lwkdu kubv mimbwk jitoku. Pwknvyarnv ninyigv Kuunyilo gv daapo lo oyi sarjinam lokv sarsopoyo dubv mvtoku holvgabv nyidomooku gv okv sichingmooku gv, anyi gv ogumvnwng dvdv nga ninyi gvlo laakur lwktoku.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled
Lvko nonu Pwknvyarnvnyi adu laku rito okv vkvlvgavbolo nonugv alv manv oguogu rinam lokv okv mvngmur kunam lokv ninyigv nyimak bv rito.
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and irreproachable in his sight:
Vbvritola vjak, ninyigv Kuunyilo gv adwnamar am sijikunam lokv, Pwknvyarnnv ninyigv ajin bv mvtoku, nonua darwk dubv, darkw dukubv okv gungnying go kaaku madubv, ninyigv dooku lo doomu dukubv vla mvtoku.
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;
Vv jvjvklvbv, nonuv jwkjwkvrwk bv ribv la okv lvngtung tunlwk runglaka, okv nonugv mvngtin sinam gamlv nga tvvpa laku paaku bvdw um nonu atubongv dvlobak mabv ritoka. Soogv gamlv nga nyiamooku mvnwng lo minggo kunam gv soogv pakbubv Paul ngo ripvkunv.
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:
Okv vjak, ngoogv nonu lvgabv hirukaya bv hinam lvkwng lo ngo mvngpu bv mvngsu dunv, vkvlvgavbolo ngoogv adwnamar lo hirukaya bv hinam si gvrja gv lvgabv, vjvlodvbv oguaingbv Kristo gv ninyigv adwnamar am hirukaya bv hila ritungnga ripwngrinya ridubv ngo ridur dvnv.
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;
Okv ngam oogv nonugv alvnam lvgabv kudungkua riya dubv jinv, Pwknvyarnv gv lokv ngam gvrja gv pakbu ako bv mvto. Hoogv kudungkua vnamv doin am japnyachika jidubv kudungkua jinamgo.
26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (aiōn )
Oogv klukuchu gv vngrokunv nyia adwnamar am chimu mabv Pwknvyarnv gv vvching kunamgo vbvritola vjak ninyigv nyi vdwa kaatam la riduku. (aiōn )
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:
Pwknvyarnv gv rungnamv ninyigv arwng gv vvsi nama ninyigv nyi vdwa chimpa modubv vla, soogv nyitv okv vvsinam yunglit si hv nyi mvnwng gv lvgabv doogvto. Okv oogv vvsinam vv Kristo nonugv aralo doodu, vbvrikunamv vv nonu Pwknvyarnv gv yunglitnam aba lo rireku.
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Vkvlvgabv ngonu Kristo gv lvkwnglo mvnwng gvlo japgo kardunv. Ngonu nyi mvnwng ngv Kristo gvlo akin gobv rila gvrila mvngki laknv vrungbv ritola Pwknvyarnv nvchilo laalwk dubv mvngkimvnglak lokv gamrw okv tamsar la bunua ridunv.
29 Unto which I also labour, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
