< Colossians 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
ܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܐܚܐ
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colosse: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܩܘܠܤܘܤ ܐܚܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
ܡܘܕܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܘܡܨܠܝܢܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܫܡܥܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye have heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
ܡܛܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܢܛܝܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܕܤܒܪܬܐ
6 Which is come to you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
ܗܝ ܕܐܬܟܪܙܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܪܒܝܐ ܘܝܗܒܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܬܘܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ
7 As ye also learned from Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܝܠܦܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܦܦܪܐ ܟܢܬܢ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܕܗܘ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ
8 Who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
ܘܗܘ ܐܘܕܥܢ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܒܪܘܚܐ
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܢ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܢܢ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܫܐܠ ܕܬܬܡܠܘܢ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠ ܚܟܡܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܤܘܟܠ ܕܪܘܚ
10 That ye may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
ܕܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܙܕܩ ܘܬܫܦܪܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܛܒܝܢ ܘܬܬܠܘܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܘܬܪܒܘܢ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
ܘܒܟܠ ܚܝܠ ܬܬܚܝܠܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܒܟܠ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘ ܘܒܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚ ܘܒܚܕܘܬܐ
12 Giving thanks to the Father, who hath made us qualified to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
ܬܘܕܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܐܫܘܝܢ ܠܡܢܬܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:
ܘܦܪܩܢ ܡܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܗ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܚܒܝܒܐ
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܘܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚܛܗܐ
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation:
ܗܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܘܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܪܝܬܐ
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are upon earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
ܘܒܗ ܐܬܒܪܝ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܟܠ ܕܡܬܚܙܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܐܢ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܘܐܢ ܡܪܘܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܪܟܘܤ ܘܐܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܒܗ ܐܬܒܪܝ
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
ܘܗܘܝܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܒܗ ܩܐܡ
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 may have the preeminence.
ܘܗܘܝܘ ܪܫܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܪܫܐ ܘܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝ ܒܟܠ
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
ܕܒܗ ܗܘ ܨܒܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܘܠܝܐ ܠܡܥܡܪ
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself; by him, I say, whether they are things on earth, or things in heaven.
ܘܒܐܝܕܗ ܠܡܪܥܝܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܘܫܝܢ ܒܕܡܐ ܕܙܩܝܦܗ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܢ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ
21 And you, that were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
ܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܘܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܒܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܫܝܢܟܘܢ ܗܫܐ
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
ܒܦܓܪܐ ܕܒܤܪܗ ܘܒܡܘܬܗ ܕܢܩܝܡܟܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܡ ܘܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; of which I Paul am made a minister;
ܐܢ ܬܩܘܘܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܫܬܐܤܬܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܐܬܟܪܙ ܒܟܠܗ ܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܫܡܫܢܗ
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:
ܘܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܚܫܐ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܡܡܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܤܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܘܗܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܒܤܪܝ ܚܠܦ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܕܬܐ
25 Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
ܗܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܫܡܫܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܐܫܡܠܐ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is revealed to his saints: (aiōn g165)
ܐܪܙܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܟܤܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܪܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܓܠܝ ܠܩܕܝܫܘܗܝ (aiōn g165)
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܘܕܥ ܡܢܘ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܪܙܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܟܘܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܢ
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
ܗܘ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܟܪܙܝܢܢ ܘܡܠܦܝܢܢ ܘܡܤܟܠܝܢܢ ܠܟܠ ܒܪܢܫ ܒܟܠ ܚܟܡܐ ܕܢܩܝܡ ܠܟܠ ܒܪܢܫ ܟܕ ܓܡܝܪ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
29 For which I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
ܒܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܦ ܥܡܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܬܟܬܫ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܥܕܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܕܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܝ
