Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Pathian deina tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak Paul le i suapui pa Timothy,
2 to the believers and faithful brothers in Christ who are at Colossae. May grace be to you, and peace from God our Father.
Colossae a om mithiangtho te le Christ sung ah a thuman suapui te: I Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ tung pan in thuthiamna le thinnopna note tung ah hong om tahen.
3 We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and we always pray for you.
Pathian le i Topa Jesus Christ i Pa tung ah,
4 We have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all those set apart for God.
Christ Jesus sung ah na upna uh le mithiangtho theampo tung ah na nei uh itna thu ka zak uh pan kipan in, lungdam ko in, thu kong ngetsak tawntung uh hi.
5 You have this love because of the certain hope reserved for you in heaven. You heard about this confident expectation before in the word of truth, the gospel,
Banghangziam cile vantung sia note atu a ki koi lametna hi a, nidang in lungdamna thupha thuman thu na za zo uh hi;
6 which has come to you. This gospel is bearing fruit and is growing in all the world. It has been doing this in you also from the day you heard it and learned about the grace of God in truth.
Tua lungdamna thupha na za uh a, Pathian thuthiamna sia thuman taw na heak uh ni pan kipan, leitung theampo ah a thet bangma in, note tung ah zong hong theng hi; taciang note sung ah a nga bang in leitung theampo ah zong nga pha nga hi:
7 This is the gospel as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf.
Ka it uh sila le ka nasep pui Epaphras tung pan zong na sin sa uh bangma in, ama sia note atu in a thuman Christ i naseam a hihi;
8 Epaphras has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
Ama in Thaa sung ah note i itna thu zong kote tung ah hong pualak zo hi.
9 Because of this love, from the day we heard this we have not stopped praying for you. We have been asking that you will be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Hi thu hang in kote zong, note i thu ka zak uh ni pan kipan, thaa lam telthiamna le ciimna sung ah, Ama deina heakna taw na kidim thei natu deisakna ahizong;
10 We have been praying that you will walk worthily of the Lord in pleasing ways. We have been praying that you will bear fruit in every good deed and that you will grow in the knowledge of God.
Tabang in Topa lungkimsak na taw a ki phu in na nuntak thei natu uh ahizong, nasep pha khatsim sung ah tampitak na nga thei natu uh le Pathian heakna sung ah na khanto thei natu uh ahizong;
11 We pray you may be strengthened in every ability according to the power of his glory into all perseverance and patience.
Ama i a vanglian minthanna bang in, hatna theampo taw hong thahatsak tu a, thuakzawkna le thinsauna theampo sung ah lungdamna taw na kidim thei natu in ahizong, note atu tatsat ngawl in thu ka ngen tawntung uh hi;
12 We pray that you will joyfully give thanks to the Father, who has made you able to have a share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Khuavak sung ah mithiangtho te i ngamh a lua pui te a hi tu in hong vawt Pathian tung ah lungdam ka ko hi:
13 He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.
Ama in khuazing i thuneina pan in kong suaktasak zo a, a it a Tapa i ukna sung ah hong khin zo hi:
14 In his Son we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Tapa sung ah a thisan tungtawn in tatkhiatna le maw maisakna i nei hi:
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God. He is the firstborn of all creation.
Ama sia a ki mu thei ngawl Pathian i lim le meal hi a, a ki piangsak theampo sung ah tapa upa bel a hihi:
16 For by him all things were created, those in the heavens and those on the earth, the visible and the invisible things. Whether thrones or dominions or governments or authorities, all things were created by him and for him.
Banghangziam cile Ama tungtawn in na theampo piangsak zo hi, vantung a om na theampo le leitung a om theampo, a ki mu thei le a ki mu thei ngawl na theampo, kumpi tokhum te, ukna te, thuneina te, vangletna te le na theampo te sia Ama in piangsak zo a, taciang Ama atu a hihi:
17 He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Taciang Ama sia na theampo om ma in om zo a, na theampo sia Ama tungtawn in kip hi.
18 He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so he has first place among all things.
Ama sia pumpi a kici pawlpi i lutang a hihi: Ama sia a kipat cil na hi a, na theampo sung ah Ama sia tungnungbel a hi thei natu in, thina pan tapa upa bel a hihi.
19 For God was pleased that all his fullness should live in him,
Banghangziam cile Tapa sung ah na theampo a cing in a omtu sia Pathian i lungkimna a hihi;
20 and to reconcile through the Son all things to himself. God made peace through the blood of his cross. God reconciled all things to himself, whether the things on the earth or the things in heaven.
Taciang leitung na le vantung na theampo sia Ama tung ah thinglamte tung a thisan tungtawn in kilemna vawt hi.
21 At one time, you also were strangers to God and were his enemies in mind and in evil deeds.
Taciang note, Pathian taw na kikhen uh a, nasep pha ngawl te hang in na thinsung uh ah Pathian i ngal te na hi ngei uh hi,
22 But now he has reconciled you by his physical body through death. He did this in order to present you holy, blameless, and above reproach before him,
Ahihang tu in, note sia a thiangtho, a ki mawsiat thei ngawl le ki tek kul ngawl in Ama mai ah piak tu in a pumpi thina tungtawn in kilemna vawt zo hi:
23 if you continue in the faith, established and firm, not moved away from the certain hope of the gospel that you heard. This is the gospel that was proclaimed to every person created under heaven. This is the gospel of which I, Paul, became a servant.
A kip le a kho in upna sung ah hong zom zo a, na zak uh lungdamna thupha lametna pan na ki khin bua uh ahile, tua lungdamna thupha sia van nuai ah a ki piangsak na theampo tung a ki pualak thu a hihi; tua mun ah keima Paul sia Pathian naseam tu in hong vawt hi;
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking of the afflictions of Christ for the sake of his body, which is the church.
Tu in note atu ka thuakna te sung ah ka lungdam hi, tua thu sia a kisam lai Christ i haksatna te sia pawlpi a kici a pumpi atu in keima pumpi sung ah ka dimsak hi:
25 It is of this church that I am a servant, according to the responsibility from God that was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God.
Pathian thu sia a khuangkhim tu in Pathian i nasep note atu hongpiak bang in, Pathian naseam in hong vawt zo hi;
26 This is the secret truth that was hidden for ages and for generations. But now it has been revealed to those who believe in him. (aiōn g165)
Khang tampi sung a ki phualseal thuku sia tu in Ama mithiangtho te tung ah hong kilangsak zo hi: (aiōn g165)
27 It is to them that God wanted to make known the riches of the glory of this secret truth among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Hi a tuanngen thuku i hauna sia mithiangtho te tung pan Gentile mite tung ah Pathian in hesak nuam hi; tua thu sia note sung ah a om Christ hi a, minthanna i a lametna a hihi:
28 This is he whom we proclaim. We admonish every person, and we teach every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Christ.
Christ Jesus sung ah mi theampo picing in hongpiak thei natu ciimna theampo taw mi theampo sia kidopna pia in ka hil uh hi:
29 For this I labor and strive according to his energy that is at work in me in power.
Tua thu sia keima zong Ama vangletna bang in na ka seam hi, tua vangletna in ka sung ah thahattak in na seam hi.
