< Colossians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
NA Paulo aku, na ka lunaolelo a Iesu Kristo ma ka manao mai o ke Akua, na Timoteo hoi ka hoahanau,
2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I ka poe haipule a me na hoahanau manaoio iloko o Kristo, ma Kolosa; no oukou ke aloha a me ka malu mai ke Akua mai, o ko kakou Makua, a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Ke hoomaikai aku nei maua i ke Akua, i ka Makua o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo, e pule mau ana no oukou,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have towards all the saints,
Ua lohe maua i ko oukou manaoio ana ia Kristo Iesu, a me ko oukou aloha ana i na haipule a pau,
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News
No ka pono e manaolanaia'i, e waiho ana no oukou ma ka lani: o ka mea a oukou i lohe mua ai maloko o ka olelo oiaio o ka eua nelio;
6 which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
I hiki mai io oukou la e like me ia ma ka honua a pau; a ua hua mai hoi i ka hua, me ia hoi iwaena o oukou, mai ka la i lohe ai oukou, a i ike ai hoi i ke aloha o ke Akua, ma ka oiaio.
7 even as you learnt from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
E like mo ka oukou hoolohe ana ia Epapera i ko maua hoakauwa aloha, i ko Kristo kahunapule hoopono no oukou;
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Nana no i hoike mai ia maua i ko oukou aloha ma ka naau.
9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Nolaila hoi, mai ka manawa mai i lohe ai maua, aole maua i hooki i ka pule no oukou, me ka noi aku i hoopihaia mai oukou me ka ike i kona makemake, a me ka naanao io ma ka Uhane;
10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,
I hele oukou ma ka pono o ka Haku, i na mea a pau i oluoluia mai ai, e hua mai ana i ka hua ma na hana maikai a pau, me ka mahuahua ana ae o ka ike ana i ke Akua.
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
E hooikaika nui ia mai oukou e kona mana nani, i ke kupaa ana, a me ke ahonui a me ka olioli;
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
Me ka hoomaikai aku i ka Makua nana kakou i hoopono mai, i loaa mai ai ia kakou ka pono e ili mai ana i ka poe haipule i ke ao.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
Nana hoi kakou i hoola, mai ka mana mai o ka pouli, a ua lawe hoi oia ia kakou iloko o ke aupuni o kana Keiki punahele;
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
Iloko ona ke ola no kakou i kona koko, o ke kala ana'e o ka hewa.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Oia hoi ka like me ke Akua i nana ole ia, oia hoi ka mua o na mea a pau i hanaia'i.
16 For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
No ka mea, ua hanaia e ia na mea a pau, o ko ka lani a me ko ka honua, i nanaia, a i nana ole ia, o na nohoalii, o na haku, o na luna, a me na'lii: ua hauaia na mea a pau ma ona la, a nona no hoi.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
Oia hoi ka mua o na mea a pau, a ma ona la no hoi i mau ai na mea a pau.
18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Oia hoi ke poo o ke kino, o ka ekalesia: oia ka makamua, o ka hanau mua hoi mai ka make mai; i lilo ia i pookela iwaena o na mea a pau.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
No ka mea, o ka pono no ia i ka Makua e noho nui ka pono a pau iloko ona;
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
A ma ona la e hoolaulea ai i na mea a pau ia ia iho, e hoomaiu ana ma ke koko o kona kea; ma ona la, i ko ka honua nei, a me ko ka lani.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
O oukou kekahi, ka poe i ku e i kekahi manawa, ka poe enemi i ko oukou manao ana ma na hana hewa, o kana ia i hoolaulea ae nei,
22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
Ma kona kino kanaka, i ka make ana, e hoike oia ia oukou he hemolele, he hala ole, a me ka hoohewa ole ia, imua o kona alo;
23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
Ke noho mau aku oukou ma ka manaoio, i hookumuia oukou me ka hoopaaia, ke hoonee ole ia ku hoi mai ka manaolana aku o ka euanelio a oukou i lohe ai, ka mea i haiia'ku i na mea a pau i hanaia malalo ae o ka lani, nona iho au o Paulo i hooliloia'e nei i lunalawehana.
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 assembly,
ke hauoli nei au i ko'u ehaeha no oukou, e hoopau ana iloko o ko'u kino, i ke koena o ko Kristo ehaeha ana, no kona kino, oia no ka ekalesia.
25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me towards you to fulfil the word of God,
Nona wau i hooliloia'e nei i lunalawehana, e like me ke kauoha a ke Akua i haawi mai ai ia'u no oukou, e hoolaha ae i ka olelo a ke Akua;
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints, (aiōn )
I ka mea pohihihi hunaia'e mai ka wa kahiko mai, a me na hanauna mai, aka i keia manawa, ua hoikeia mai nei i kana mau haipule; (aiōn )
27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery amongst the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
I ka poe a ke Akua i hoomaopopo ai i ka waiwai nani o keia mea pohihihi iwaena o ko na aina e; oia no o Kristo iloko o oukou, ka manaolana no ka nani:
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
Oia ka makou e hai aku nei, e ao ana i na kanaka a pau, a e hoonaauao ana i na kanaka a pau i ka naauao io, e hiki ia makou ke hoike i na kanaka a pau i hemolele iloko o Kristo Iesu.
29 for which I also labour, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
Nalaila hoi ka'u hana e hooikaika nui nei, e like me kana hana i hooikaika nui mai nei iloko o'u.
