Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother,
īśvarasyecchayā yīśukhrīṣṭasya preritaḥ paulastīmathiyo bhrātā ca kalasīnagarasthān pavitrān viśvastān khrīṣṭāśritabhrātṛn prati patraṁ likhataḥ|
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!
asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmān prati prasādaṁ śāntiñca kriyāstāṁ|
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
khrīṣṭe yīśau yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya sarvvān pavitralokān prati premnaśca vārttāṁ śrutvā
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the holy ones,
vayaṁ sadā yuṣmadarthaṁ prārthanāṁ kurvvantaḥ svarge nihitāyā yuṣmākaṁ bhāvisampadaḥ kāraṇāt svakīyaprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tātam īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmaḥ|
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,
yūyaṁ tasyā bhāvisampado vārttāṁ yayā susaṁvādarūpiṇyā satyavāṇyā jñāpitāḥ
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,
sā yadvat kṛsnaṁ jagad abhigacchati tadvad yuṣmān apyabhyagamat, yūyañca yad dinam ārabhyeśvarasyānugrahasya vārttāṁ śrutvā satyarūpeṇa jñātavantastadārabhya yuṣmākaṁ madhye'pi phalati varddhate ca|
7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful servant of the Christ for you,
asmākaṁ priyaḥ sahadāso yuṣmākaṁ kṛte ca khrīṣṭasya viśvastaparicārako ya ipaphrāstad vākyaṁ
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
yuṣmān ādiṣṭavān sa evāsmān ātmanā janitaṁ yuṣmākaṁ prema jñāpitavān|
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,
vayaṁ yad dinam ārabhya tāṁ vārttāṁ śrutavantastadārabhya nirantaraṁ yuṣmākaṁ kṛte prārthanāṁ kurmmaḥ phalato yūyaṁ yat pūrṇābhyām ātmikajñānavuddhibhyām īśvarasyābhitamaṁ sampūrṇarūpeṇāvagaccheta,
10 to walk worthily of the LORD, pleasing in all, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God,
prabho ryogyaṁ sarvvathā santoṣajanakañcācāraṁ kuryyātārthata īśvarajñāne varddhamānāḥ sarvvasatkarmmarūpaṁ phalaṁ phaleta,
11 in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.
yathā ceśvarasya mahimayuktayā śaktyā sānandena pūrṇāṁ sahiṣṇutāṁ titikṣāñcācarituṁ śakṣyatha tādṛśena pūrṇabalena yad balavanto bhaveta,
12 Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us for the participation of the inheritance of the holy ones in the light,
yaśca pitā tejovāsināṁ pavitralokānām adhikārasyāṁśitvāyāsmān yogyān kṛtavān taṁ yad dhanyaṁ vadeta varam enaṁ yācāmahe|
13 who rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
yataḥ so'smān timirasya karttṛtvād uddhṛtya svakīyasya priyaputrasya rājye sthāpitavān|
14 in whom we have the redemption [[through His blood]], the forgiveness of sins,
tasmāt putrād vayaṁ paritrāṇam arthataḥ pāpamocanaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
15 who is the image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation,
sa cādṛśyasyeśvarasya pratimūrtiḥ kṛtsnāyāḥ sṛṣṭerādikarttā ca|
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,
yataḥ sarvvameva tena sasṛje siṁhāsanarājatvaparākramādīni svargamarttyasthitāni dṛśyādṛśyāni vastūni sarvvāṇi tenaiva tasmai ca sasṛjire|
17 and He is before all, and all things have consisted in Him.
sa sarvveṣām ādiḥ sarvveṣāṁ sthitikārakaśca|
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,
sa eva samitirūpāyāstano rmūrddhā kiñca sarvvaviṣaye sa yad agriyo bhavet tadarthaṁ sa eva mṛtānāṁ madhyāt prathamata utthito'graśca|
19 because all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him,
yata īśvarasya kṛtsnaṁ pūrṇatvaṁ tamevāvāsayituṁ
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.
kruśe pātitena tasya raktena sandhiṁ vidhāya tenaiva svargamarttyasthitāni sarvvāṇi svena saha sandhāpayituñceśvareṇābhileṣe|
21 And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now He reconciled,
pūrvvaṁ dūrasthā duṣkriyāratamanaskatvāt tasya ripavaścāsta ye yūyaṁ tān yuṣmān api sa idānīṁ tasya māṁsalaśarīre maraṇena svena saha sandhāpitavān|
22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before Himself,
yataḥ sa svasammukhe pavitrān niṣkalaṅkān anindanīyāṁśca yuṣmān sthāpayitum icchati|
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.
kintvetadarthaṁ yuṣmābhi rbaddhamūlaiḥ susthiraiśca bhavitavyam, ākāśamaṇḍalasyādhaḥsthitānāṁ sarvvalokānāṁ madhye ca ghuṣyamāṇo yaḥ susaṁvādo yuṣmābhiraśrāvi tajjātāyāṁ pratyāśāyāṁ yuṣmābhiracalai rbhavitavyaṁ|
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,
tasya susaṁvādasyaikaḥ paricārako yo'haṁ paulaḥ so'ham idānīm ānandena yuṣmadarthaṁ duḥkhāni sahe khrīṣṭasya kleśabhogasya yoṁśo'pūrṇastameva tasya tanoḥ samiteḥ kṛte svaśarīre pūrayāmi ca|
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,
yata īśvarasya mantraṇayā yuṣmadartham īśvarīyavākyasya pracārasya bhāro mayi samapitastasmād ahaṁ tasyāḥ samiteḥ paricārako'bhavaṁ|
26 the secret that has been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was revealed to His holy ones, (aiōn g165)
tat nigūḍhaṁ vākyaṁ pūrvvayugeṣu pūrvvapuruṣebhyaḥ pracchannam āsīt kintvidānīṁ tasya pavitralokānāṁ sannidhau tena prākāśyata| (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,
yato bhinnajātīyānāṁ madhye tat nigūḍhavākyaṁ kīdṛggauravanidhisambalitaṁ tat pavitralokān jñāpayitum īśvaro'bhyalaṣat| yuṣmanmadhyavarttī khrīṣṭa eva sa nidhi rgairavāśābhūmiśca|
28 whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,
tasmād vayaṁ tameva ghoṣayanto yad ekaikaṁ mānavaṁ siddhībhūtaṁ khrīṣṭe sthāpayema tadarthamekaikaṁ mānavaṁ prabodhayāmaḥ pūrṇajñānena caikaikaṁ mānavaṁ upadiśāmaḥ|
29 for which I also labor, striving according to His working that is working in me in power.
etadarthaṁ tasya yā śaktiḥ prabalarūpeṇa mama madhye prakāśate tayāhaṁ yatamānaḥ śrābhyāmi|
