Colossians 1
1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Paoly, Apostolin’ i Kristy Jesosy noho ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, ary Timoty rahalahy,
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.
mamangy ny olona masìna any Kolosia, dia ny rahalahy mahatoky ao amin’ i Kristy: ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, praying always for you,
Misaotra an’ Andriamanitra, Rain’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, izahay amin’ ny fangatahanay mandrakariva ho anareo,
4 having heard of your faith in Messiah Yeshua and of the love which you have toward all the holy ones,
rehefa renay ny finoanareo an’ i Kristy Jesosy sy ny fitiavanareo ny olona masìna rehetra,
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
noho ny fanantenana izay tehirizina any an-danitra ho anareo, dia ilay efa renareo fahiny tamin’ ny tenin’ ny fahamarinan’ ny filazantsara,
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,
izay efa mby eo aminareo, tahaka ny eny amin’ izao tontolo izao koa, sady vokatra sy mitombo tahaka ny eo aminareo koa hatramin’ ny andro nandraisanareo sy nahalalanareo tsara ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra araka ny marina;
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Messiah on your behalf,
tahaka ny efa renareo tamin’ i Epafra, mpanompo namanay sady malala, izay mpanompon’ i Kristy mahatoky ho anay,
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
sady efa nanambara taminay koa ny fitiavanareo ao amin’ ny Fanahy.
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,
Ary noho izany izahay koa hatramin’ ny andro nandrenesanay dia tsy mitsahatra mivavaka sy mangataka ho anareo, mba hofenoina fahalalana tsara ny sitrapony ianareo amin’ ny fahendrena sy ny fahazavan-tsaina rehetra avy amin’ ny Fanahy,
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,
mba handehananareo miendrika ny Tompo, hanaovana ny sitrapony amin’ ny zavatra rehetra, dia mahavokatra amin’ ny asa tsara rehetra sady mitombo amin’ ny fahalalana tsara an’ Andriamanitra,
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
ary ampahatanjahina amin’ ny hery rehetra araka ny herin’ ny voninahiny ho amin’ ny faharetana rehetra sy ny fandeferana amin’ ny hafaliana,
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in light,
ka misaotra ny Ray, Izay nampahamendrika antsika hanana anjara amin’ ny lovan’ ny olona masìna eo amin’ ny mazava,
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
sady nahafaka antsika tamin’ ny fahefan’ ny maizina ka namindra antsika ho amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny Zanany malalany,
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
Izay ananantsika fanavotana, dia ny famelana ny helotsika.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Izy no endrik’ Andriamanitra tsy hita, ny Lahimatoa talohan’ izao zavatra ary rehetra izao;
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.
fa tao aminy no nahariana ny zavatra rehetra any an-danitra sy etỳ ambonin’ ny tany, dia ny hita sy ny tsy hita, na fiandrianana, na fanjakana, na fanapahana, na fahefana, Izy no nahariana ny zavatra rehetra, sady ho Azy izany;
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
ary Izy no talohan’ ny zavatra rehetra, sady ao aminy no aharetan’ ny zavatra rehetra.
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.
Ary Izy no Lohan’ ny tena, dia ny fiangonana; Izy no voalohany, dia ny Lahimatoa tamin’ ny maty, mba ho Lohany amin’ ny zavatra rehetra Izy.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
Fa sitraky ny Ray ho ao aminy no hitoeran’ ny fahafenoana rehetra,
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.
sady Izy no hampihavanany ny zavatra rehetra aminy, ka dia ny ràny teo amin’ ny hazo fijaliana no nanaovany fampihavanana ― eny, Izy, hoy izaho, no fampihavanana izany, na ny etỳ ambonin’ ny tany, na ny any an-danitra.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
Ary ianareo, izay olon-ko azy fahiny sy fahavalo tamin’ ny sainareo noho ny fanaovan-dratsy, no efa nampihavaniny ankehitriny
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,
tao amin’ ny tenan’ ny nofony, tamin’ ny fahafatesana, mba hatolony ho masìna sady tsy hanan-tsiny amam-pondro eo anatrehany,
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.
raha maharitra amin’ ny finoana ianareo ka mafy orina sady tafatoetra ary tsy mety hafindra hiala amin’ ny fanantenana avy amin’ ny filazantsara, izay efa renareo sady notorina eny ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra eny; ary izany no nanaovana ahy Paoly ho mpanompo.
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,
Ankehitriny dia mifaly amin’ ny fiaretako ho anareo aho, ary mahatanteraka ao amin’ ny nofoko izay tsy vita tamin’ ny fahorian’ i Kristy ho an’ ny tenany, dia ny fiangonana,
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,
izay nanaovana ahy ho mpanompo araka ny fitondran’ Andriamanitra nomena ahy ho anareo, hahatanteraka ny fitoriana ny tenin’ Andriamanitra,
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his holy ones, (aiōn g165)
dia ny zava-miafina, ilay voàfina hatramin’ ny fahagola sy ny taranaka maro, fa voaseho ankehitriny amin’ ny olony masìna, (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.
izay efa tian’ Andriamanitra ho nampahafantarina ny haren’ ny voninahitr’ ity zava-niafina ity any amin’ ny jentilisa, dia Kristy ao anatinareo, Izay fanantenana ny voninahitra;
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Messiah Yeshua;
Izy no torinay, ka samy anarinay sy ampianarinay amin’ ny fahendrena rehetra ny olona rehetra, mba samy hatolotray ho tanteraka ao amin’ i Kristy izy rehetra.
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
Ary ny hahatanteraka izany no ikelezako aina koa sy iezahako fatratra araka ny fiàsan’ ny herin’ ilay miasa mahery ato anatiko.
