Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Pathen kah kongaih dongah Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih Paul neh manuca Timothy loh,
2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Kolosa kah hlangcim rhoek neh Khrih ah uepom manuca rhoek te kan yaak sak. Nangmih taengah a pa Pathen taengkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah om saeh.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Nangmih ham ka thangthui uh taitu tih mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a napa Pathen te ng'uem uh.
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
Jesuh Khrih ah nangmih kah tangnah neh hlangcim rhoek boeih taengah lungnah na khueh uh ka yaak te,
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of truth, the Good News,
vaan ah nangmih ham a tung ngaiuepnah rhangnen ni. Te tah nangmih taengla aka lo olthangthen kah oltak olka dongah na yaak uh coeng.
6 which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
Diklai pum ah khaw thaihtak la om tih a rhoeng vanbangla Pathen lungvatnah oltak la na yaak uh tih na ming uh khohnin vaeng lamloh nangmih khuiah khaw om van coeng.
7 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,
Hetah mamih kah sal puei neh thintlo Epaphras lamkah na yaak uh. Anih he nangmih ham Khrih kah uepom tueihyoeih ni.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Amah loh nangmih kah lungnah, Mueihla dongkah te khaw mamih taengah a thuicaih.
9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, do not cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Te dongah kaimih khaw ka yaak uh khohnin lamkah te nangmih ham thangthui tih ka bih te ka toeng uh pawh. Te daengah ni cueihnah cungkuem neh mueihla ah yakmingnah dongah a kongaih mingnah te na cung uh eh.
10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
A cungkuem dongah Boeipa kah kolo neh a tingtawk la pongpa sak ham, a cungkuem dongah bibi then neh thaihtak uh tih Pathen kah mingnah dongah rhoeng sak ham,
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;
Amah thangpomnah dongkah thaomnah vanbangla uehnah neh thinsennah cungkuem dongla thaomnah boeih neh thaphoh sak ham ni.
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;
Vangnah dongah hlangcim rhoek kah hmulung dongkah buham la nangmih aka saii a pa te omngaihnah neh uem uh.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;
Amah loh yinnah kah saithainah lamloh mamih n'hlawt tih a lungnah a Capa kah ram la m'puen sak coeng.
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins;
Amah dongah tholh khodawkngainah, tlannah te n'dang uh.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Anih tah hmuhmueh Pathen kah mueimae, suentae boeih kah camingomthang ni.
16 For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things have been created by him and for him.
Amah lamloh vaan neh diklai hmankah hmuhthai neh hmuhmueh boeih te a suen. Ngolkhoel khaw, taemrhainah khaw, boeilu rhoek khaw, saithainah khaw a cungkuem te amah loh amah ham a suen.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
Anih tah a cungkuem a om hlanah om tih cungkuem tah anih lamloh poe.
18 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.
Anih tah hlangboel pum kah a lu la om. Anih tah a tongnah neh duek khui lamloh camingomthang la om. Te daengah ni cungkuem dongah om vetih amah khaw a lamhma pai eh.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
Anih dongah a soepnah te boeih om sak ham neh anih rhangneh a cungkuem te amah taengah moeithen ham a lungtlun.
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross through him, whether things on the earth or things in heaven.
A thinglam dongkah thii rhangneh amah loh diklai dongkah neh vaan kah te khaw a moeithen.
21 You, who once were alienated and were hostile in your minds, doing evil deeds,
Hnukbuet ah nangmih te n'hai tih khoboe thae lamloh kopoek ah rhal la om.
22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,
Tedae nangmih te amah hmaiah hlangcim, cuemthuek neh cimbit la pai sak ham dueknah rhangneh a pumsa kah pum dongah a moeithen coeng.
23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, established and firm, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Na oei tangnah te khak na sut van atah na yaak uh olthangthen kah ngaiuepnah lamloh nongcen uh boeh. Vaan hmuikah suentae boeih taengah a hoe coeng tih kai Paul tah a tueihyoeih la ka om.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ for the sake of his body, which is the church;
Nangmih yueng la patangnah neh ka omngaih coeng. Amah pum yueng la ka pumsa dongah Khrih kah phacip phabaem lamloh vawtthoeknah te ka koei. Hlangboel tah amah pum ni.
25 of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God,
Kai tah te olthangthen kah tueihyoeih la ka om tih Pathen kah hnokhoemnah vanbangla Pathen kah olka te nangmih taengah tomthap ham kai m'paek coeng.
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints. (aiōn g165)
Olhuep te khosuen lamkah neh suentae lamkah a thuh coeng dae tahae atah a hlangcim rhoek ham a phoe pah. (aiōn g165)
27 To them God was pleased to make known the glorious riches of this mystery among the non-Jews, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;
Pathen loh he namtom taengah olhuep kah thangpomnah khuehtawn te phoe ham a ngaih. Te thangpomnah dongkah ngaiuepnah tah nangmih khuiah aka om Khrih ni.
28 whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ Jesus;
Hlang tom aka rhalrhing sak tih cueihnah cungkuem neh hlang tom aka thuituen mamih loh amah kawng ni n'doek uh. Te daengah ni hlang boeih he Khrih ah lungcuei la m'pai sak eh.
29 for which I also labor, struggling according to his power, which works in me mightily.
Te ham khaw a bibi tarhing ah thakthae neh ka thingthuel dae ka khuiah thaomnah neh ha tueng.
