Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother,
Sithaw koehhaih baktiah Jesu Kri mah patoeh ih kami, Pawl hoi aicae amnawk Timote mah,
2 to the holy ones in Colossae, and to the faithful brothers in Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Kolosa vangpui ih Kri ah oep kaom nawkamya hoi kaciim kaminawk khaeah ca tarik: aicae Ampa Sithaw khae hoi ih tahmenhaih hoi monghaih nangcae khaeah om nasoe.
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
Aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri ih Ampa Sithaw khaeah, kawnhaih lok ka thuih o,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the holy ones,
Kri Jesu to na tang o moe, kaciim kaminawk boih na palung o ti, tiah tamthang ka thaih o,
5 because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which you heard of beforehand by the word of the truth of the good news,
nangcae hanah van ah oephaih to suek boeh, tiah canghniah loktang tamthanglok hoih hoiah na thaih o boeh pongah, nangcae hanah lawk kang thuih pae o toepsoep,
6 which has come to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which you heard, and knew the grace of God in truth,
long pum ah to tamthanglok hoih amthang baktih toengah, nangcae khaeah doeh phak boeh; to lok to na thaih o moe, Sithaw tahmenhaih na panoek o tangtang na ni hoi kamtong, nangcae thungah toksak moe, qoeng tahang pacoengah, athaih to athaih:
7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful servant of the Christ for you,
nangcae khaeah oep kaom ah Kri ih tok sah, a palung o ih nawnto toksah tamna, Epaphra mah ang patuk o ih baktih toengah,
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Muithla ah na tawnh o ih amlunghaih to anih mah kaicae khaeah ang thuih.
9 Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
To pongah nangcae ih tamthang ka thaih o tangsuek na ni hoi kamtong, boeng ai ah nangcae han lawk ka thuih o, palunghahaih, muithla hoi kasaeng panoek thaihaih, a koeh ih hmuen panoekhaih hoiah na koi o thai hanah ka hnik o;
10 to walk worthily of the LORD, pleasing in all, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God,
to tiah ni Angraeng koehhaih baktiah na hing o tih, kahoih toksakhaih boih ah athaih na thai o ueloe, Sithaw panoekhaih bangah na qoeng o tahang tih;
11 in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.
hmuen boih ah nang hoe o ueloe, palungsawkhaih hoiah na pauep o thai tih, lensawk a thacakhaih baktih toengah, thacakhaih boih hoiah tha na cak o sak tih,
12 Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us for the participation of the inheritance of the holy ones in the light,
aanghaih thungah kaom kaciim kaminawk ih qawk toep hanah sahkung, Ampa khaeah kawnhaih lawk ka thuih:
13 who rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
Anih mah kaving thacakhaih thung hoiah aicae loihsak boeh moe, a palung o ih Capa prae thungah ang hoih o boeh:
14 in whom we have the redemption [[through His blood]], the forgiveness of sins,
angmah ih athii rang hoiah zae tahmenhaih hoi Anih ah akranghaih to a hnuk o boeh.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation,
Anih loe mik hoi hnu thai ai Sithaw ih krang ah oh moe, sak ih hmuennawk boih thungah tapen tangsuek ah oh:
16 because all things were created in Him, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him,
van hoi long ah kaom hmuennawk, hnuk thai ih hmuennawk hoi hnuk thai ai ih hmuennawk, angraeng tangkhangnawk doeh, pazawkhaihnawk doeh, ukhaihnawk doeh, thacakhaihnawk doeh Anih mah ni sak boih: hmuennawk boih Anih mah sak moe, angmah han ih ni a sak:
17 and He is before all, and all things have consisted in Him.
Anih loe hmuennawk boih om ai naah oh boeh, anih rang hoiah ni hmuennawk boih to oh.
18 And He is the head of the body—the Assembly—who is a beginning, a firstborn out of the dead, that He might become first in all [things] Himself,
Anih loe takpum hoi kricaabu ih lu ah oh: anih loe hmuennawk boih ranui koek ah oh thai hanah takungpui ah oh moe, duekhaih thung hoi tapen hmaloe koekah oh;
19 because all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him,
hmuennawk boih akoephaih loe anih ah oh, Ampa to palung anghoesak;
20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself—having made peace through the blood of His Cross—through Him, whether the things on the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
thinglam nui hoi kalong athii rang hoiah angdaehhaih to a ohsak, van ih hmuennawk hoi long ih hmuennawk, hmuennawk boih anih rang hoiah Sithaw khaeah angdaehhaih to a sak.
21 And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now He reconciled,
Kahoih ai hmuen na sak o pongah, nangcae loe palung thung hoi misa ah na oh o moe, Sithaw hoi nam praek o; toe anih mah vaihi angdaehsak let boeh
22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before Himself,
a takpum duekhaih rang hoiah nangcae to Anih hmaa ah coek koi kaom ai, zaehaih kaom ai, kaciim ah angdoetsak hanah,
23 if you also remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which you heard, which was preached in all the creation that [is] under Heaven, of which I, Paul, became a servant.
tanghaih bangah na cak o poe nahaeloe, kacakah angdoe oh loe, na thaih o ih van tlim ah kaom sak ih hmuennawk boih khaeah taphong ih, kahoih tamthanglok oephaih hoiah angqoi o ving hmah; hae pongah ni Kai, Pawl doeh toksah kami maeto ah ang ohsak.
24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for His body, which is the Assembly,
Vaihi nangcae han patang ka khang pongah anghoehaih ka tawnh, a takpum ah kaom, Kricaabu hanah Kri mah tongh ih patangkhanghaih to ka takpum nuiah phaksak han ka koeh:
25 of which I became a servant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,
kakoep Sithaw ih lok to ka taphong moe, Sithaw toksak hanah nangcae khaeah ang patoeh baktih toengah, Sithaw toksah kami maeto ah ka oh;
26 the secret that has been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was revealed to His holy ones, (aiōn g165)
canghnii adung paroeai thung taphong ai ah hawk ih kathuk lok to vaihi kaciim angmah ih kaminawk khaeah amtuengsak boeh: (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God willed to make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations—which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,
paroeai atho kaom lensawkhaih loktamqu to Gentelnawk khaeah thuih hanah, Sithaw mah kaciim kaminawk khaeah amtuengsak han koeh; to hmuen loe kalen sawk oephaih ah kaom, nangcae thungah kacaeng Kri to ni:
28 whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,
Anih ih tamthanglok to aicae mah taphong o, kami boih Kri Jesu ah akoep o thai hanah, kami boih a thuihtaek o moe, kami boih palunghahaih lok a patuk o:
29 for which I also labor, striving according to His working that is working in me in power.
Anih mah thacakhaih ang paek baktih toengah, kai doeh tha pathokhaih hoiah tok ka sak toeng.
