Colossians 1
1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Pavel apostelj Jezusa Kristusa po volji Božji, in Timotej brat,
2 to the holy ones and faithful brothers in Messiah at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Svetim v Kolosah in vernim bratom v Kristusu. Milost vam in mir od Boga očeta našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa!
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, praying always for you,
Zahvaljujemo se Bogu in očetu Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa, in molimo vedno za vas, ker smo slišali za vero vašo v Kristusu Jezusu;
4 having heard of your faith in Messiah Yeshua and of the love which you have toward all the holy ones,
In za ljubezen do vseh svetih,
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
Po upanji hranjenem vam v nebesih, za katero ste že slišali v besedi resnice evangela,
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,
Ki biva med vami, kakor tudi po vsem svetu, in je sadonosen, kakor tudi med vami, od dné, ko ste čuli in spoznali milost Božjo v resnici:
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Messiah on your behalf,
Kakor ste se tudi učili od Epafra, ljubljenega sohlapca našega, ki je zvest služabnik Kristusov za vas;
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
On ki nam je tudi naznanil ljubezen vašo v Duhu.
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,
Zato tudi mi, od dné, ko smo slišali, neprestano molimo za vas in prosimo, da se napolnite sè spoznanjem volje njegove v vsej modrosti in razumnosti duhovni,
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,
Da živite pristojno Gospodu v vsem njemu po volji; in sad rodite v vsakem dobrem delu ter se množite v spoznanji Božjem;
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
V vsej moči krepčani po kreposti slave njegove v vsej stanovitnosti in potrpežljivosti z radostjo;
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in light,
Zahvaljujoč se očetu, ki nas je storil sposobne za delež dedščine svetih v luči,
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
Kateri nas je rešil iz temé oblasti, in prestavil v kraljestvo sina ljubezni svoje,
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
V katerem imamo rešenje po krvi njegovi, odpuščenje grehov;
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Kateri je podoba Boga nevidnega, prvorojenec vse stvaritve;
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.
Ker v njem je bilo vstvarjeno vse, kar je v nebesih in na zemlji, vidno in nevidno, ali prestoli, ali gospostva, ali poglavarstva, ali oblasti: vse je vstvarjeno po njem in zanj;
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
In on je pred vsem, in vse biva v njem;
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.
In on je glava telesa, občine; kateri je začetek, prvorojenec izmed mrtvih, da bode on med vsemi prvak.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
Ker vzvidelo se mu je, vanj vseliti vso polnost,
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.
In po njem spraviti vse zanj, pomirivši po krvi križa njegovega, po njem, bodi si kar je na zemlji, bodi si kar je v nebesih.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
Tudi vas, ki ste bili nekdaj otujeni in sovražni po mišljenji v delih hudobnih, spravil je sedaj;
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,
V telesu mesa svojega sè smrtjo, da vas naredi svete in brezmadežne in brezgrajne pred seboj;
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.
Ako samo ostanete v veri utrjeni in stanovitni, in se ne ganete od upanja evangelja, katerega ste slišali, oznanovanega po vsej stvaritvi pod nebom, katerega sem jaz Pavel postal služabnik.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Messiah in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
Sedaj se veselim v trpljenji svojem za vas, in napolnjujem pogreške stisek Kristusovih v mesu svojem za telo njegovo, katero je občina;
25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,
Katere sem jaz postal služabnik po naredbi Božji, dani mi čez vas, da izpolnim besedo Božjo,
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his holy ones, (aiōn g165)
Skrivnost skrito od vekov in od rodov; zdaj pa se je razodela svetim njegovim; (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory.
Katerim je hotel Bog naznaniti, katero je bogastvo slave té skrivnosti med pogani, ki je Kristus v vas, upanje slave,
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Messiah Yeshua;
Katerega mi oznanjamo, opominjajoč vsakega človeka, in učeč vsakega človeka v vsej modrosti, da napravimo vsakega človeka popolnega v Kristusu Jezusu;
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
Za kar se tudi trudim boreč so po kreposti njegovi, delujoči z močjo v meni.
