Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Pamhnama hlüeia Khritaw Jesuha ngsä kei Pawluh ja mi na Timoti üngka naw,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ [which are] at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Khritaw üng yümmatnak üng sitihkia ka nglawipüi, Kolawte mlüha veki Pamhnama khyange: mi Pa Pamhnam naw bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak ning jah pe se.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Nami phäh kami ktaiyü üng mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa Pa üng aläa jenak kami mthehkie.
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,
Pamhnama khyange nami jah mhläkphyanak ja Khritaw Jesuh üng nami jumeinak kami ngjaka phäh ni.
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
Ngthu kcang, Thangkdaw nami veia a pha law kcük üng, äpeinak a ning jah peta mawng nami ngja pängki. Nami jumeinak ja mhläkphyanak cun khankhawa ning jah üpawmsak khai tia nami äpeinaka khana veki.
6 which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as [it doth] in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
Thangkdaw naw dawkyanak lawpüi lü, Pamhnama bäkhäknaka mawng nami ngjak kcük ua mhnüp üng cutei lü, acun cun akcang ni tia nami ksing law ua mäiha, khawmdek lum üng ngthang hüki.
7 even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
Mi nghngün üng Khritawa khut pawhki, mi mpyapüi u, Epapharah üngkhyüh Pamhnama bäkhäknak nami ngtheingthangkie.
8 who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
Ngmüimkhya naw a ning jah peta ngmüimkhya mhläkphyanak nami tak pi ani naw jah mthehki.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Nami thang kami ngjak üngkhyüh cutei lü alä se kami ning jah ktaiyü petkie ni. A Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw a ning jah peta themngvainak ja pungngyam üngkhyüh a mlung hlü ksingnak thei a ning jah pet vaia Pamhnama veia kami ning jah ktaiyü petkie ni.
10 to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Acun käna Bawipaa a hlüeia xüngsei lü ani jesak khaia khut aläa pawh u lü, dawkyakia khut mjüküm bilawh lü Pamhnam ksingnak üng nami dämduh law vai ua ning jah ktaiyü pet ni.
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;
Ania hlüngtaikia johit üngka naw lawkia ngjuktha am kyansai u lü, acunüng ahmäi naküt mlung msaü lü nami dunei khawh khaie.
12 giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;
A khyangea phäh Pamhnama Khawa a jah tak pet nami yah hnga khaia ning jah pyangki Pa Pamhnam cun jekyai na ua.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
Anghmüpa johit üngka naw jah küikyan lü a mhlänak a Cakpaa khawa jah phasaki.
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
Acuna cakpaa phäh üng mi mkhyekate naküt jah mhlät se lätlangnak mi yahkie.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
Khritaw cun am hmuh thei Pamhnam hmuhnak theia kyaki ni. Ani cun a ca kcüka thawn lü mhnünceng naküt luma kthaka hlüngtai säihki ni.
16 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;
Pamhnam naw khankhawa veki ja khawmdeka veki naküte, hmuh thei ja am hmuh theie, ngmüimkhya johite, bawie ja khyaihnak khawhe naküt cun Ani üngkhyüh a jah tüipyang ni. Pamhnam naw mce ja khan hin Ani üngkhyüh mhnünceng lü Ania phäh a tüipyang ni.
17 and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.
Khritaw cun anaküt am a mhnünceng ham üngkhyüh a na ve päng lü, anaküt cun pi ani am atänga awmki he.
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.
Ani cun sangcim tia pumsaa lupum ni. Ani cun a pumsaa xünnak ahnuna pi kyaki. Ani cun Ca-kcük säiha kyaki, ahmäi naküt kthaka amät däk a hlüngtai säih vaia thihnak üngka naw mthawh be ma kcüki kyaki.
19 For it was the good pleasure [of the Father] that in him should all the fulness dwell;
Mhnama ning naküt a cakpa üng a kümbe cun Pamhnam amäta mkhyaha kyaki.
20 and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, [I say], whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.
Acun käna khawmdeknu hin a Cakpa üngkhyüh amäta veia a lawpüi be vaia Pamhnam naw ngja hlüki. Pamhnam naw kutlamktung üng thiki a Cakpaa thisen üngkhyüh ng’yenak pawh päng lü khawmdek ja khankhaw üng veki naküt pi amäta veia a lawpüi be.
21 And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, yet now hath he reconciled
Ahlana nami bilawh ja nami cungngaih am daw se Pamhnam üng thuk lü a yea nami kya khawikie.
22 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:
Acunsepi atuh ta, Pamhnam naw a cakpaa thihnaka phäh üng a ning jah ng’yäppüi be hin, ngcimngcaih lü mkatei vai käh ve ti khaia amäta veia a ning jah lawpüi be ni.
23 if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.
Nami jumeinak ngkhäng lü nami leh ngkhän cäm se. Thangkdaw nami ngjak üng nami yaha äpeinak käh thäihngnawn ta kawm uki. Khawmdek khyang naküt üng ami mtheha hina thangkdawa phäh ni kei Pawluh pi mpyaa ka thawn law.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church;
Nangmia phäh khuikhanak ka khamei hin jekyai veng. Khritaw naw a pumsa sangcima nghngün üng a khamei mcawt a kümceinak vaia kei naw ka pumsa am ka khameipüiki.
25 whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfill the word of God,
Khawkphyüm üngkhyüh tuh vei cäpa thupviha kya kyaw lüpi, tuhngawi üng ta a khyange üng jah mdana hlüngtaikia Pamhnama thangkdaw cun avana sang khaia, ahin khut a na pet hin nangmia dawnak vaia, kei cun Pamhnam naw sangcima mpyaa a na thawnsak ni. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Mhnama ngjak hlü cun a khyangea phäha ngthup lü hlüngtainak ja bawimangnak cun a khyangea veia a jah mdan hlüa kyaki. Acuna khawh ngthup cun nami k’uma veki hlüngtaiki Khritaw ni. Acuna mawngma ta Pamhnama hlüngtainak nami yah hngaki tinak ni.
28 whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;
Acunakyase, Khritawa ngthu khyang naküt üng kami jah mthehki. Pungngyam mjüküm am jah mcuhmcäi lü khyang naküt Pamhnama maa Khritaw üng yümmat lü xüxamkia kba ami kya law vaia, khyang naküt kami jah mtheimthangkie ni.
29 whereunto I labour also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Ahin ka kpäng vaia, ka k’uma khüiki Khritaw naw a na peta ngjuktha am mthui lü ka khüiki.
