Colossians 1
1 I, Paul, [am writing this letter to you], and our fellow believer Timothy [is with me]. I am an apostle who represents Christ Jesus, because that is what God wanted.
১ঈশ্বৰৰ ইচ্ছাৰ দ্বাৰাই খ্ৰীষ্ট যীচুৰ নিযুক্ত পাঁচনি পৌল আৰু তীমথিয় ভাই,
2 [I am sending this letter] to you who are in Colossae [city], and who are God’s people, and our faithful fellow believers who have a close relationship with Christ. We pray that God our Father will be acting kindly towards you, and that he will cause you to have [inner] peace.
২কলচীত থকা খ্ৰীষ্টত বিশ্বাসী ভাই আৰু পবিত্ৰ লোক সকলৰ সমীপলৈ। আমাৰ পিতৃ ঈশ্বৰৰ পৰা আপোনালোকলৈ অনুগ্ৰহ আৰু শান্তি হওক।
3 Very often [HYP] we thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, while we are praying for you,
৩আমাৰ প্ৰভু যীচু খ্ৰীষ্টৰ পিতৃ ঈশ্বৰক ধন্যবাদ জনায় আপোনালোকৰ কাৰণে সদায় আমি প্ৰাৰ্থনা কৰি আছোঁ৷
4 because we have heard that you believe in Christ Jesus, and that you love all God’s people.
৪আমি শুনিবলৈ পালোঁ যে, খ্ৰীষ্ট যীচুত আপোনালোকৰ যি বিশ্বাস আৰু ঈশ্বৰৰ কাৰণে পৃথক কৰি ৰখা পবিত্ৰ লোক সকলৰ প্ৰতি যি প্ৰেম আছে,
5 You do that because you confidently expect to receive that which God is (reserving/keeping safe) for you in heaven, which you heard about previously when you heard the true message, that is, the message [about Christ].
৫সেইদৰে আপোনালোকৰ কাৰণেও আশা-ধনৰ বিষয় স্বৰ্গত সাঁচি থোৱা হৈছে৷ আপোনালোকৰ মাজত উপস্থিত হোৱা শুভবাৰ্তাৰূপ সত্যতাৰ বাক্য প্ৰথমে শুনিলে;
6 [People] proclaimed it [PRS] to you, just like [people] have proclaimed it in many different countries [HYP, IDM]. The true message is changing more and more people’s lives, just like it changed your lives because you heard it and you truly experienced that God acts kindly towards us in ways we do not deserve.
৬আৰু যিদিনা আপোনালোকে সত্যৰূপে ঈশ্বৰৰ অনুগ্ৰহৰ কথা শুনিলে আৰু জানিলে, সেই দিনাৰ পৰাই সেই শুভবাৰ্তা আপোনালোকৰ মাজত যেনেকৈ, গোটেই জগততো তেনেকৈ উপস্থিত হৈ ফল ধৰি বাঢ়ি আছে৷
7 That is just what Epaphras taught you [would happen]. We love Epaphras. He serves Christ together with us and works for Christ faithfully for your benefit.
৭সেইবোৰ আপোনালোকে আমাৰ প্ৰিয় সহদাস ইপাফ্ৰাৰ পৰাই শিকিলে; তেখেত আমাৰ কাৰণে খ্ৰীষ্টৰ বিশ্বাসী পৰিচাৰক;
8 He told us that you love [all God’s people], just like God’s Spirit [has enabled you to] (OR, spiritually).
৮আৰু পবিত্ৰ আত্মাৰ গুণত আপোনালোকৰ যি প্ৰেম আছে, তাক তেখেতেই আমাৰ আগত প্ৰকাশ কৰিলে৷
9 Because of what we heard about you, we have also been praying [LIT] very often to God for you [HYP], ever since we heard this report about you. We pray that you will truly know all that God wants you to do; that is, that you will become very wise, and that you will understand spiritual matters well.
৯এই কাৰণে সেই কথা শুনা দিনৰে পৰা, আমি আপোনালোকৰ বাবে প্ৰাৰ্থনা কৰিবলৈ নেৰিলো, আপোনালোক সকলোৱে আত্মিক জ্ঞান আৰু বুদ্ধিৰ সম্বন্ধে ঈশ্বৰৰ ইচ্ছা বিষয়ক তত্ব-জ্ঞানেৰে পৰিপূৰ্ণ হওক৷
10 We have been praying like that in order that you will conduct yourselves as the Lord’s people should conduct themselves, in order that you will please the Lord in every way. Specifically, we have been praying like that in order that you will be doing every sort of good deed [IDM] and in order that you will be getting to know God truly, more and more.
১০আমি এনে ধৰণে প্ৰাৰ্থনা কৰি আছোঁ যাতে, সকলো ভাবে সন্তুষ্ট কৰিবৰ অৰ্থে আপোনালোকে যেন প্ৰভুত যোগ্যৰূপে জীৱন-যাপন কৰে আৰু তেওঁৰ সেই তত্ব-জ্ঞানত বাঢ়ি সকলো সৎকৰ্মত ফলৱন্ত হয়৷
11 And we pray that [God] will greatly strengthen you [spiritually] with the mighty power that he has shown [to people], in order that you will always be steadfast and patient [when you experience difficulties], while [at the same time] you will be rejoicing.
১১আমি নিবেদন কৰোঁ যে, আপোনালোকে যেন সম্পূৰ্ণ সহন আৰু চিৰসহিষ্ণুতাৰ অৰ্থে, তেওঁৰ প্ৰতাপৰ পৰাক্ৰম অনুসাৰে সকলো শক্তিৰে শক্তিৱন্ত হয়৷
12 And we pray that you will be thanking God our Father, because he has enabled you/us to receive the things that he will give to his people in heaven [SYN].
১২আমি নিবেদন কৰোঁ আৰু আনন্দেৰে সৈতে তেওঁৰ ধন্যবাদ কৰোঁ, কাৰণ পিতৃয়ে আমাক পবিত্ৰ লোক সকলৰ যি অধিকাৰ পোহৰত আছে, সেই অধিকাৰৰ অংশীদাৰ হ’বলৈ যোগ্য কৰিলে৷
13 God our Father rescued us [spiritually] so that the evil one no longer rules us [MET, MTY], and he caused us now to be ruled by his Son, whom he loves.
১৩তেৱেঁই আমাক আন্ধাৰৰ পৰাক্ৰমৰ পৰা উদ্ধাৰ কৰি নিজ প্ৰেমৰ পুত্ৰৰ ৰাজ্যত স্থানান্তৰ কৰি থ’লে৷
14 That is, because of our relationship with his Son (OR, because of what the one who is also God did), God has redeemed/bought us; in particular, he has forgiven our sins.
১৪তেওঁৰ সেই পুত্ৰত আমাৰ মুক্তি, পাপৰ ক্ষমা আছে।
15 God’s Son reveals perfectly what God, his Father, is like, whom no one can see. God’s Son existed before and ranks above everything that God has created.
১৫সেই পুত্ৰ অদৃশ্য ঈশ্বৰৰ প্ৰতিমূৰ্তি৷ তেওঁ গোটেই সৃষ্টিৰ প্ৰথমজাত;
16 When God created everything that is on the earth, he did it by having his Son do it. He created everything that [people] can see, and also everything which is in heaven that [people] cannot see. In particular, his Son created all ranks of important spirit beings. [And his Son ranks above everything], because God by the work of had his Son, and because by his Son all things were created {because [God] had his Son create everything} in order that everything might praise his Son,
১৬কিয়নো যি যি স্বৰ্গত আৰু পৃথিৱীত, দৃশ্য আৰু অদৃশ্য বস্তু আছে, সেই সকলোবোৰ তেওঁতেই সৃষ্ট হ’ল৷ সিংহাসন হওক বা প্ৰভুত্ব হওক, আধিপত্য হওক বা ক্ষমতা হওক, এই সকলোবোৰ তেওঁৰ দ্বাৰাই আৰু তেওঁৰ কাৰণে সৃষ্টি কৰা হ’ল৷
17 and because it is his Son who existed before anything else existed, and because God sustains everything by what his Son [does].
১৭তেওঁ সকলোৰে পূৰ্বৰ পৰা আছে আৰু সকলোবোৰ তেওঁৰেই নিয়ন্ত্ৰণত আছে৷
18 And [God’s Son ranks above everything], because it is his Son who [rules over his people] [MET] [as a person’s] head [controls his physical] body, because his Son causes his people to live [spiritually]. [God’s Son] is the first one who became alive again, in order that he should become more important than anything and everyone.
১৮তেৱেঁই হৈছে, তেওঁৰ শৰীৰ স্বৰূপ মণ্ডলীৰ মূৰ৷ তেৱেঁই প্ৰাথমিক প্ৰাধিকাৰী, তেওঁ আদি আৰু মৃত লোকৰ মাজৰ পৰা প্ৰথমজাত এই কাৰণে সকলো বিষয়তে তেওঁ অগ্ৰগণ্য হয়।
19 [God’s Son reveals perfectly what God his Father is like], because his Father chose to live completely in him.
১৯সেই কাৰণে ঈশ্বৰে আনন্দেৰে সিদ্ধান্ত ল’লে যে, তেওঁত সকলো সম্পূৰ্ণতা বাস কৰা উচিত;
20 [God our Father caused his Son to rule us], because he decided to reconcile with himself everything that is on earth and that is in heaven by what his Son did, in order that everything might honor his Son; that is, God our Father decided to reconcile everything to himself as a result of his [Son’s] blood [flowing when he died] on the cross. [The chiastic material is rearranged below so that the directly related propositional clusters are joined together.] 13 God our Father rescued us [spiritually] so that we are no longer ruled by the evil one, and God our Father caused us now to be ruled by his Son (OR, the man who is also God) whom he loves. 14a That is, by means of what his Son did, we have been redeemed by God, our Father. 14b In particular, our sins have been forgiven by God, our Father. 20 God, our Father, has done this because he decided to reconcile to himself, by means of his Son, everything that is on earth and that is in heaven, in order that his Son might be honored; that is, God, our Father decided to reconcile everything to himself by means of God’s Son’s blood [flowing out when he died] on the cross. 15b God cannot be seen by anyone, 15a but his Son reveals perfectly what God—his Father—is like, 19a because it is in his Son that the Father chose 19b that he himself would dwell completely. 15c God’s Son ranks above everything 15d that has been created, 16 because it was by means of God’s Son that God created everything that is on the earth and that can be seen by people, and also everything that is in heaven and that cannot be seen by people. In particular, all types of important spirit beings were created by means of him, since everything has been created by God by means of God’s Son. And his Son ranks above everything, because everything has been created by God, in order that God’s Son might be honored by everything, 17 and because it is he who existed before anything else existed, and since everything is sustained by God by means of God’s Son. 18 And God’s Son ranks above everything because it is he who [rules over all believers, just like a person’s] head [controls his physical body, because he causes all believers to live spiritually]. His Son is the first one who rose from among those who have died, in order that he should become more important than everything and everyone.
২০আৰু তেওঁৰ দ্বাৰাই সকলোবোৰ তেওঁৰে সৈতে মিলন সাধন কৰিলে৷ পৃথিৱীত থকা হওক বা স্বৰ্গত থকা হওক, তেওঁৰ ক্ৰুচৰ পুত্ৰৰ তেজৰ দ্বাৰাই শান্তি স্থাপন কৰিবলৈ ঈশ্বৰে সকলোতে ভাল দেখিলে।
21 As for you, [although] formerly God [considered you his] enemies (OR, [God considered you] as alienated [from him]) and [although] you were formerly hostile [to God] because you thought evil thoughts and because you did evil deeds,
২১আপোনালোকেও পূৰ্বতে ঈশ্বৰৰ পৰা অসম্পৰ্কীয় আৰু দুষ্কৰ্মত থাকি মনেৰে শত্ৰু হোৱা লোক আছিল৷
22 nevertheless, God our Father has now reconciled you [with himself. He did that] as a result of his Son dying physically. He did it in order that you should be completely holy when he brings you into his presence.
২২তথাপি ঈশ্বৰে তেওঁৰ দৃষ্টিত আপোনালোকক পবিত্ৰ, নিষ্কলঙ্ক আৰু নিৰ্দোষীৰূপে উপস্থিত কৰিবৰ বাবে খ্ৰীষ্টৰ মাংসময় শৰীৰত মৃত্যুৰ দ্বাৰাই এতিয়া মিলন সাধন কৰিলে৷
23 He wants you to continue [DOU] to believe the message about Christ; specifically, he wants you to continue to be stable/steadfast and to continue to confidently expect to receive that which you heard about when you heard that message. That message has been proclaimed {They have proclaimed that message} to people in very many places [HYP]; and I, Paul, also become someone who tells it to people.
২৩আপোনালোকে যি শুভবাৰ্তা শুনিছে, তাতে যদি বিশ্বাস কৰি স্থিৰে থাকে আৰু শুভবাৰ্তাৰ পৰা উৎপন্ন হোৱা যি আশা আপোনালোকে পালে, সেই আশাৰ মূলৰ পৰা যদি আতৰি নাযায়, তেনেহলে খ্ৰীষ্টে সকলোবোৰ সম্পন্ন কৰিব আৰু স্বৰ্গৰ তলত থকা সকলো সৃষ্টিৰ মাজত সেই একে শুভবাৰ্তা প্ৰচাৰিত হৈ আছে; মই পৌল, এই শুভবাৰ্তাৰ এজন দাস৷
24 At the present time I am rejoicing that I am suffering for your benefit; that is, I am completing what Christ [decided] that I should suffer physically for the benefit of all believers, [who are as dear to him as] his own body.
২৪এতিয়া আপোনালোকৰ কাৰণে মোৰ যি দুখভোগ, তাতেই মই আনন্দ কৰিছোঁ, আৰু খ্ৰীষ্টৰ নানা ক্লেশৰ যি অৱশিষ্টখিনি অপূৰ্ণ হৈ আছে, সেই খিনি মই তেওঁৰ শৰীৰ স্বৰূপ মণ্ডলীৰ কাৰণে মোৰ মাংসত পূৰ্ণ কৰিছোঁ।
25 I myself became someone who serves God’s people, because I was appointed {[God] appointed me} to be responsible to [help] you [who are non-Jews]. I became one who serves God’s people in order that I should make known to you non-Jews the whole message from/about God.
২৫সেই বাক্য সম্পূৰ্ণকৈ প্ৰচাৰ কৰিবলৈ, আপোনালোকৰ কাৰণে ঈশ্বৰে মোক দিয়া ঘৰগিৰীবাব অনুসাৰে মই সেই মণ্ডলীৰ পৰিচাৰক হৈছোঁ৷
26 [We did not know this message previously; that is, God] concealed it from [the people who lived in all] the previous ages, but he has now revealed it to his people. (aiōn g165)
২৬সেই নিগূঢ়-তত্ত্ব যুগে যুগে আৰু পুৰুষে পুৰুষে গুপ্ত আছিল, কিন্তু এতিয়া তেওঁৰ পবিত্ৰ লোকৰ আগত প্ৰকাশিত হৈছে; (aiōn g165)
27 That is, God decided to reveal to them this message, which declares that he will greatly bless the non-Jews. Specifically, this message declares that Christ, [by his Spirit], will live in you who are non-Jews, with the result that you confidently expect that you will experience how glorious [God is].
২৭ঈশ্বৰে তেওঁৰ মূল্যবান মহিমাময় নিগূঢ় তত্ব অনা-ইহুদী সকলৰ ওচৰত প্ৰকাশ কৰিবলৈ মনস্থ কৰিলে, সেই নিগূঢ় তত্ব সকলো লোকৰ কাৰণে; আৰু সেই নিগূঢ় তত্ব হ’ল স্বয়ং খ্ৰীষ্ট, যি জন আপোনালোকৰ মাজত আছে৷ তেৱেঁই আমাৰ গৌৰৱৰ আশা৷
28 We tell about Christ [to every class of persons]; we warn them, and specifically, we teach everyone very wisely. We do this in order that every person who (has a close relationship with/is united to) Christ may be (all that God wants them to be/perfect) when we present them to Christ.
২৮সেই জন তেৱেঁই, যি জনৰ বিষয়ে আমি প্ৰচাৰ কৰি আছোঁ৷ আমি প্ৰত্যেক জনকে সতৰ্ক কৰোঁ আৰু সকলো প্ৰজ্ঞাৰে প্ৰতিজনক শিক্ষা দি খ্ৰীষ্টক প্ৰচাৰ কৰোঁ যাতে খ্ৰীষ্টে সকলোকে ঈশ্বৰৰ ওচৰত সিদ্ধ লোক ৰূপে উপস্থিত কৰিব পাৰে৷
29 In order that I might [achieve/accomplish this], I am also working very hard, depending on Christ to empowering me very greatly.
২৯তেওঁৰ কাৰ্যসাধক শক্তিয়ে মোৰ জীৱনত পৰাক্ৰমেৰে কাৰ্য সাধন কৰি আছে, সেই শক্তি অনুসাৰে তেওঁৰ কাৰণে প্ৰাণপণ কৰি মই পৰিশ্ৰমো কৰি আছোঁ।
