Colossians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother,

ii"svarasyecchayaa yii"sukhrii. s.tasya prerita. h paulastiimathiyo bhraataa ca kalasiinagarasthaan pavitraan vi"svastaan khrii. s.taa"sritabhraat. rn prati patra. m likhata. h|

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!

asmaaka. m taata ii"svara. h prabhu ryii"sukhrii. s.ta"sca yu. smaan prati prasaada. m "saanti nca kriyaastaa. m|

3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,

khrii. s.te yii"sau yu. smaaka. m vi"svaasasya sarvvaan pavitralokaan prati premna"sca vaarttaa. m "srutvaa

4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the holy ones,

vaya. m sadaa yu. smadartha. m praarthanaa. m kurvvanta. h svarge nihitaayaa yu. smaaka. m bhaavisampada. h kaara. naat svakiiyaprabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya taatam ii"svara. m dhanya. m vadaama. h|

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,

yuuya. m tasyaa bhaavisampado vaarttaa. m yayaa susa. mvaadaruupi. nyaa satyavaa. nyaa j naapitaa. h

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,

saa yadvat k. rsna. m jagad abhigacchati tadvad yu. smaan apyabhyagamat, yuuya nca yad dinam aarabhye"svarasyaanugrahasya vaarttaa. m "srutvaa satyaruupe. na j naatavantastadaarabhya yu. smaaka. m madhye. api phalati varddhate ca|

7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful servant of the Christ for you,

asmaaka. m priya. h sahadaaso yu. smaaka. m k. rte ca khrii. s.tasya vi"svastaparicaarako ya ipaphraastad vaakya. m

8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

yu. smaan aadi. s.tavaan sa evaasmaan aatmanaa janita. m yu. smaaka. m prema j naapitavaan|

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,

vaya. m yad dinam aarabhya taa. m vaarttaa. m "srutavantastadaarabhya nirantara. m yu. smaaka. m k. rte praarthanaa. m kurmma. h phalato yuuya. m yat puur. naabhyaam aatmikaj naanavuddhibhyaam ii"svarasyaabhitama. m sampuur. naruupe. naavagaccheta,

10 to walk worthily of the LORD, pleasing in all, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God,

prabho ryogya. m sarvvathaa santo. sajanaka ncaacaara. m kuryyaataarthata ii"svaraj naane varddhamaanaa. h sarvvasatkarmmaruupa. m phala. m phaleta,

11 in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.

12 Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us for the participation of the inheritance of the holy ones in the light,

ya"sca pitaa tejovaasinaa. m pavitralokaanaam adhikaarasyaa. m"sitvaayaasmaan yogyaan k. rtavaan ta. m yad dhanya. m vadeta varam ena. m yaacaamahe|

13 who rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

yata. h so. asmaan timirasya kartt. rtvaad uddh. rtya svakiiyasya priyaputrasya raajye sthaapitavaan|

14 in whom we have the redemption [[through His blood]], the forgiveness of sins,

tasmaat putraad vaya. m paritraa. nam arthata. h paapamocana. m praaptavanta. h|

15 who is the image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation,

sa caad. r"syasye"svarasya pratimuurti. h k. rtsnaayaa. h s. r.s. teraadikarttaa 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,

yata. h sarvvameva tena sas. rje si. mhaasanaraajatvaparaakramaadiini svargamarttyasthitaani d. r"syaad. r"syaani vastuuni sarvvaa. ni tenaiva tasmai ca sas. rjire|

17 and He is before all, and all things have consisted in Him.

sa sarvve. saam aadi. h sarvve. saa. m sthitikaaraka"sca|

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 samitiruupaayaastano rmuurddhaa ki nca sarvvavi. saye sa yad agriyo bhavet tadartha. m sa eva m. rtaanaa. m madhyaat prathamata utthito. agra"sca|

19 because all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him,

yata ii"svarasya k. rtsna. m puur. natva. m tamevaavaasayitu. m

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.

kru"se paatitena tasya raktena sandhi. m vidhaaya tenaiva svargamarttyasthitaani sarvvaa. ni svena saha sandhaapayitu nce"svare. naabhile. se|

21 And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now He reconciled,

puurvva. m duurasthaa du. skriyaaratamanaskatvaat tasya ripava"scaasta ye yuuya. m taan yu. smaan api sa idaanii. m tasya maa. msala"sariire mara. nena svena saha sandhaapitavaan|

22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before Himself,

yata. h sa svasammukhe pavitraan ni. skala"nkaan anindaniiyaa. m"sca yu. smaan sthaapayitum 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.

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 susa. mvaadasyaika. h paricaarako yo. aha. m paula. h so. aham idaaniim aanandena yu. smadartha. m du. hkhaani sahe khrii. s.tasya kle"sabhogasya yo. m"so. apuur. nastameva tasya tano. h samite. h k. rte sva"sariire puurayaami 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 ii"svarasya mantra. nayaa yu. smadartham ii"svariiyavaakyasya pracaarasya bhaaro mayi samapitastasmaad aha. m tasyaa. h samite. h paricaarako. abhava. m|

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 niguu. dha. m vaakya. m puurvvayuge. su puurvvapuru. sebhya. h pracchannam aasiit kintvidaanii. m tasya pavitralokaanaa. m sannidhau tena praakaa"syata| (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 bhinnajaatiiyaanaa. m madhye tat niguu. dhavaakya. m kiid. rggauravanidhisambalita. m tat pavitralokaan j naapayitum ii"svaro. abhyala. sat| yu. smanmadhyavarttii khrii. s.ta eva sa nidhi rgairavaa"saabhuumi"sca|

28 whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,

tasmaad vaya. m tameva gho. sayanto yad ekaika. m maanava. m siddhiibhuuta. m khrii. s.te sthaapayema tadarthamekaika. m maanava. m prabodhayaama. h puur. naj naanena caikaika. m maanava. m upadi"saama. h|

29 for which I also labor, striving according to His working that is working in me in power.
