Colossians 1
1 From Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, our Brother.
Ri Pablo uꞌtaqoꞌn ri Cristo Jesús rumal ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios, rachiꞌl ri alaxik Timoteo.
2 To Christ’s People at Colossae — the Brothers who are faithful to him: May God, our Father, bless you and give you peace.
Chike ri tyoxalaj taq kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa Colosas chuya toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chike rech ri qatat Dios.
3 Whenever we pray, we never fail to thank God, the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, about you,
Kujtyoxin che ri Dios, Tataxel re ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, kaqabꞌan chꞌawem piꞌwiꞌ,
4 now that we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all his People,
rumal qatom ri ikojobꞌal pa Cristo Jesús, xuqujeꞌ ri iloqꞌanik chike ri kojonelabꞌ.
5 on account of the hope which awaits its fulfilment in Heaven. Of this hope you heard long ago in the true Message of the Good News which reached you —
Xa rumal ri kuꞌlibꞌal ikꞌuꞌx ri yaktal pa ri kaj. Pa we kꞌulibꞌal kꞌuꞌx riꞌ, ri ix xita ri utz laj tzij re qas tzij, ri utz laj tzij
6 Bearing fruit and growing, as it does, through all the world, just as it did among you, from the very day that you heard of God’s loving-kindness, and understood what that loving-kindness really is.
ri xopan iwukꞌ. We utz laj tzij riꞌ tajin kawachinik xuqujeꞌ tajin kakꞌiyik pa ronojel ri uwachulew, je xuqujeꞌ xkꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ix pa ri qꞌij ri xito xuqujeꞌ xichꞌobꞌ ri qas tzij rech ri jeꞌl laj utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
7 It is just what you learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow-servant, who, as a minister of the Christ, faithfully represents us,
Jetaq ri xiwetaꞌmaj rukꞌ ri Epafras, patanil re ri Cristo xuqujeꞌ toꞌl qe uj, rumal iwe.
8 and who told us of the love with which the Spirit has inspired you.
Areꞌ xtzijon chaqe ri iloqꞌanik pa ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
9 And therefore we, from the very day that we heard this, have never ceased praying for you, or asking that you may possess that deeper knowledge of the will of God, which comes through all true spiritual wisdom and insight.
Are xqatabꞌej rech we riꞌ, man uj tanalinaq taj che ubꞌanik chꞌawem piꞌwiꞌ. Kaqata che ri Dios rech kubꞌano chi rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal kiwetaꞌmaj ri rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ronojel etaꞌmanik xuqujeꞌ chꞌobꞌonik pa ri Uxlabꞌixel.
10 Then you will live lives worthy of the Master, and so please God in every way. Your lives will be fruitful in every kind of good action, and your characters will grow through a fuller knowledge of God;
Rech je kixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri karaj ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kaqaj choch ronojel ri kibꞌano. Rech kixwachinik pa ronojel ri chak ri kibꞌano, xuqujeꞌ rech kixkꞌiy pa ri etaꞌmanik rech ri Dios.
11 you will be made strong at all points with a strength worthy of the power manifested in his Glory — strong to endure with patience, and even with gladness, whatever may befall you;
Kaqata che ri Dios rech kayaꞌtaj ichuqꞌabꞌ rukꞌ ri jeꞌlalaj ukwinem rech ri ujuluwem. Rech ko kixkꞌojiꞌk, kixayeꞌnik rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal,
12 and you will give thanks to the Father who made you fit to share the lot which awaits Christ’s People in the realms of Light.
kujtyoxin che ri Tataxel ri xuya bꞌe chaqe kaqakꞌamawaꞌj qechabꞌal kukꞌ ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq, pa ri ajawarem rech ri tunal.
13 For God has rescued us from the tyranny of Darkness, and has removed us into the Kingdom of his Son, who is the embodiment of his love,
Areꞌ xujresaj xeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri qꞌequꞌmal xujuqꞌaxaj pa ri ajawarem rech ri Loqꞌalaj uKꞌojol.
14 and through whom we have found deliverance in the forgiveness of our sins.
Pa Cristo xujtortaj wi, xuqujeꞌ xqakꞌamawaꞌj ri kuybꞌal qamak.
15 For Christ is the very incarnation of the invisible God — First-born and Head of all creation;
Ri Cristo are ukaꞌyebꞌal ri Dios ri man kilitaj taj. Are nim uqꞌij choch ronojel ri jastaq ri xetikik.
16 for in him was created all that is in Heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible — Angels and Archangels and all the Powers of Heaven.
Rumal rech areꞌ xetikitaj ronojel ri jastaq pa ri kaj xuqujeꞌ choch ri uwachulew, ri jastaq ri kiꞌlitaj uwach, xuqujeꞌ ri man kiꞌlitaj ta uwach, tꞌuyulibꞌal kech e taqanelabꞌ, kwinem, e chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ winaq ri kabꞌan ke. Xtikitaj loq rumal areꞌ xuqujeꞌ rech areꞌ.
17 All has been created through him and for him. He was before all things, and all things unite in him;
Are kꞌo nabꞌe choch ronojel ri jastaq, xa rumal areꞌ e kꞌolik, are xuqujeꞌ kabꞌanowik chi kechakun ronojel.
18 and he is the Head of the Church, which is his Body. The First-born from the dead, he is to the Church the Source of its Life, that he, in all things, may stand first.
Are ri Cristo ujolom ri komontyox, areꞌ majibꞌal rech ronojel, are nabꞌyal chike konojel ri e kꞌastajinaq, rech jeriꞌ areꞌ nabꞌyal che ronojel.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him the divine nature in all its fulness should dwell,
Rumal chi xraj ri Tataxel chi pa Cristo kakꞌojiꞌ ronojel ri Dios,
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself (making peace by the shedding of Christ’s blood offered upon the cross) — whether on earth or in Heaven.
xuqujeꞌ rumal areꞌ xeꞌrutzirisaj ri jastaq ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew rukꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri kaj, xubꞌan jaꞌmaril chikixoꞌl, rukꞌ ri ukikꞌel ri xtixtobꞌ cho ri ripbꞌal.
21 And it pleased God that you, once estranged from him and hostile towards him in your thoughts, intent only on wickedness —
Pune ojer ix najtininaq kanoq che ri Dios rumal ri iwetzelal xuqujeꞌ ri inoꞌjibꞌal, ix bꞌanal taq itzel taq chak.
22 But now he has reconciled you to himself by the sacrifice of Christ’s earthly body in death — it has pleased God that you should stand in his presence holy, pure, and blameless,
Kamik kꞌut ri Dios, rukꞌ ri ukamikal ri Cristo xixrutzirisaj rech are kixujacho ixchꞌajchꞌoj, ix tyoxalaj taq winaq xuqujeꞌ xa ta ne jun makaj kariqitaj chiꞌwe are kixujach cho Areꞌ.
23 if only you remain true to your Faith, firm and immovable, never abandoning the hope held out in the Good News to which you listened, which has been proclaimed among all created things under Heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.
Rech ko kixkꞌojiꞌ pa ri ikojobꞌal, man kixtzaq taj, rech man kixel ta pa ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri kutzuj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe. Are waꞌ ri utz laj tzij ri xito xuqujeꞌ ri tzijotal pa ronojel ri uwachulew xeꞌ ri kaj, are waꞌ ri tajin kintzijoj in, in Pablo.
24 Now at last I can rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf, and in my own person I supplement the afflictions endured by the Christ, for the sake of his Body, the Church;
Kinkiꞌkotik are kinriq ri kꞌax pa ri nutyoꞌjal rumal iwe, xuqujeꞌ kintzꞌaqatisaj pa ri nutyoꞌjal ri kajawataj na che ri qꞌoxomal rech ri Cristo, rumal rech ri utyoꞌjal, are waꞌ ri komontyox.
25 of which I myself became a minister in virtue of the office with which God entrusted me for your benefit, to declare the Message of God in all its fulness —
Rumal we komontyox riꞌ xinux patanijel rech ri Dios rumal iwe, rech kintzijoj ri utzij ri Dios.
26 That Truth which has been hidden from former ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to God’s People, (aiōn g165)
Are kintzijoj ri awatal kan najtir ojer, qꞌij junabꞌ, kamik kꞌut xkꞌut chikiwach ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom it was his pleasure to make known the surpassing glory of that hidden Truth when proclaimed among the Gentiles — ‘Christ among you! Your Hope of glory!’
Chike we winaq riꞌ ri Dios xraj xukꞌut ri ujuluwem rech ri uqꞌinomal ri awatal loq chikiwach ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are waꞌ ri Cristo ri kꞌo pa iwanimaꞌ ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx rech juluwem.
28 This is the Christ whom we proclaim, warning every one, and instructing every one, with all the wisdom that we possess, in the hope of bringing every one into God’s presence perfected by union with Christ.
Are waꞌ ri Cristo ri kaqatzijoj chike ri winaq, keꞌqapixibꞌax, kaqakꞌut chikiwach rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal rech e tzꞌaqat keꞌqajacho pa Cristo.
29 It is for that I toil, struggling with all the energy which he inspires and which works powerfully within me.
Rumal waꞌ kinchakunik kinkoj nuchuqꞌabꞌ ri kinkꞌamawaꞌj che ri Cristo, ri kachakun pa wanimaꞌ.
