Colossians 1
1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
īśvarasyēcchayā yīśukhrīṣṭasya prēritaḥ paulastīmathiyō bhrātā ca kalasīnagarasthān pavitrān viśvastān khrīṣṭāśritabhrātr̥n prati patraṁ likhataḥ|
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.
asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmān prati prasādaṁ śāntiñca kriyāstāṁ|
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, praying always for you,
khrīṣṭē yīśau yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya sarvvān pavitralōkān prati prēmnaśca vārttāṁ śrutvā
4 having heard of your faith in Messiah Yeshua and of the love which you have toward all the holy ones,
vayaṁ sadā yuṣmadarthaṁ prārthanāṁ kurvvantaḥ svargē nihitāyā yuṣmākaṁ bhāvisampadaḥ kāraṇāt svakīyaprabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tātam īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmaḥ|
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
yūyaṁ tasyā bhāvisampadō vārttāṁ yayā susaṁvādarūpiṇyā satyavāṇyā jñāpitāḥ
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,
sā yadvat kr̥snaṁ jagad abhigacchati tadvad yuṣmān apyabhyagamat, yūyañca yad dinam ārabhyēśvarasyānugrahasya vārttāṁ śrutvā satyarūpēṇa jñātavantastadārabhya yuṣmākaṁ madhyē'pi phalati varddhatē ca|
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Messiah on your behalf,
asmākaṁ priyaḥ sahadāsō yuṣmākaṁ kr̥tē ca khrīṣṭasya viśvastaparicārakō ya ipaphrāstad vākyaṁ
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
yuṣmān ādiṣṭavān sa ēvāsmān ātmanā janitaṁ yuṣmākaṁ prēma jñāpitavān|
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,
vayaṁ yad dinam ārabhya tāṁ vārttāṁ śrutavantastadārabhya nirantaraṁ yuṣmākaṁ kr̥tē prārthanāṁ kurmmaḥ phalatō yūyaṁ yat pūrṇābhyām ātmikajñānavuddhibhyām īśvarasyābhitamaṁ sampūrṇarūpēṇāvagacchēta,
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,
prabhō ryōgyaṁ sarvvathā santōṣajanakañcācāraṁ kuryyātārthata īśvarajñānē varddhamānāḥ sarvvasatkarmmarūpaṁ phalaṁ phalēta,
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
yathā cēśvarasya mahimayuktayā śaktyā sānandēna pūrṇāṁ sahiṣṇutāṁ titikṣāñcācarituṁ śakṣyatha tādr̥śēna pūrṇabalēna yad balavantō bhavēta,
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in light,
yaśca pitā tējōvāsināṁ pavitralōkānām adhikārasyāṁśitvāyāsmān yōgyān kr̥tavān taṁ yad dhanyaṁ vadēta varam ēnaṁ yācāmahē|
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
yataḥ sō'smān timirasya karttr̥tvād uddhr̥tya svakīyasya priyaputrasya rājyē sthāpitavān|
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
tasmāt putrād vayaṁ paritrāṇam arthataḥ pāpamōcanaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
sa cādr̥śyasyēśvarasya pratimūrtiḥ kr̥tsnāyāḥ sr̥ṣṭērādikarttā ca|
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.
yataḥ sarvvamēva tēna sasr̥jē siṁhāsanarājatvaparākramādīni svargamarttyasthitāni dr̥śyādr̥śyāni vastūni sarvvāṇi tēnaiva tasmai ca sasr̥jirē|
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
sa sarvvēṣām ādiḥ sarvvēṣāṁ sthitikārakaśca|
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.
sa ēva samitirūpāyāstanō rmūrddhā kiñca sarvvaviṣayē sa yad agriyō bhavēt tadarthaṁ sa ēva mr̥tānāṁ madhyāt prathamata utthitō'graśca|
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
yata īśvarasya kr̥tsnaṁ pūrṇatvaṁ tamēvāvāsayituṁ
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.
kruśē pātitēna tasya raktēna sandhiṁ vidhāya tēnaiva svargamarttyasthitāni sarvvāṇi svēna saha sandhāpayituñcēśvarēṇābhilēṣē|
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
pūrvvaṁ dūrasthā duṣkriyāratamanaskatvāt tasya ripavaścāsta yē yūyaṁ tān yuṣmān api sa idānīṁ tasya māṁsalaśarīrē maraṇēna svēna saha sandhāpitavān|
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,
yataḥ sa svasammukhē pavitrān niṣkalaṅkān anindanīyāṁśca yuṣmān sthāpayitum icchati|
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.
kintvētadarthaṁ yuṣmābhi rbaddhamūlaiḥ susthiraiśca bhavitavyam, ākāśamaṇḍalasyādhaḥsthitānāṁ sarvvalōkānāṁ madhyē ca ghuṣyamāṇō yaḥ susaṁvādō yuṣmābhiraśrāvi tajjātāyāṁ pratyāśāyāṁ yuṣmābhiracalai rbhavitavyaṁ|
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,
tasya susaṁvādasyaikaḥ paricārakō yō'haṁ paulaḥ sō'ham idānīm ānandēna yuṣmadarthaṁ duḥkhāni sahē khrīṣṭasya klēśabhōgasya yōṁśō'pūrṇastamēva tasya tanōḥ samitēḥ kr̥tē svaśarīrē pūrayāmi ca|
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,
yata īśvarasya mantraṇayā yuṣmadartham īśvarīyavākyasya pracārasya bhārō mayi samapitastasmād ahaṁ tasyāḥ samitēḥ paricārakō'bhavaṁ|
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his holy ones, (aiōn g165)
tat nigūḍhaṁ vākyaṁ pūrvvayugēṣu pūrvvapuruṣēbhyaḥ pracchannam āsīt kintvidānīṁ tasya pavitralōkānāṁ sannidhau tēna prākāśyata| (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.
yatō bhinnajātīyānāṁ madhyē tat nigūḍhavākyaṁ kīdr̥ggauravanidhisambalitaṁ tat pavitralōkān jñāpayitum īśvarō'bhyalaṣat| yuṣmanmadhyavarttī khrīṣṭa ēva sa nidhi rgairavāśābhūmiśca|
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Messiah Yeshua;
tasmād vayaṁ tamēva ghōṣayantō yad ēkaikaṁ mānavaṁ siddhībhūtaṁ khrīṣṭē sthāpayēma tadarthamēkaikaṁ mānavaṁ prabōdhayāmaḥ pūrṇajñānēna caikaikaṁ mānavaṁ upadiśāmaḥ|
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
ētadarthaṁ tasya yā śaktiḥ prabalarūpēṇa mama madhyē prakāśatē tayāhaṁ yatamānaḥ śrābhyāmi|
