Koloslastele 1
1 Pauluselt, kes on Jumala tahtel Jeesuse Kristuse apostel, ja vend Timoteoselt,
Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
2 Jumala pühadele Kolossas, ustavatele vendadele ja õdedele Kristuses: Armu ja rahu teile Jumalalt, meie Isalt!
To them which are at Colosse, Saintes and faithfull brethren in Christ: Grace bee with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
3 Me täname Jumalat, meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse Isa, kui me teie eest palvetame,
We giue thankes to God euen ye Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, alway praying for you:
4 sest oleme kuulnud teie usust Kristusesse Jeesusesse ja armastusest kõigi pühade vastu
Since wee heard of your faith in Christ Iesus, and of your loue toward all Saintes,
5 lootuse pärast, mis on teie jaoks taevasse hoiule pandud. Sellest lootusest te olete juba kuulnud, kui evangeeliumi tõesõnum
For the hopes sake, which is laide vp for you in heauen, whereof yee haue heard before by the word of trueth, which is the Gospel,
6 teie juurde jõudis. Seesama evangeelium kannab nüüd vilja ja kasvab kogu maailmas, täpselt samamoodi, nagu on juhtunud teiegi juures alates päevast, mil te seda kuulsite ja hakkasite mõistma Jumala armu.
Which is come vnto you, eue as it is vnto al the world, and is fruitful, as it is also amog you, from ye day that ye heard and truely knew ye grace of God,
7 Epafras, kes seda teile õpetas, on meie armas kaassulane ja Kristuse ustav teenija meie heaks.
As yee also learned of Epaphras our deare fellowe seruaunt, which is for you a faithfull minister of Christ:
8 Tema rääkiski meile armastusest, mida Vaim on teis äratanud.
Who hath also declared vnto vs your loue in the Spirit.
9 Seepärast ei ole me lakanud palvetamast ja anumast teie pärast alates päevast, mil me seda kuulsime, et teid täidetaks Jumala tahtmise tundmisega koos kõige vaimuliku tarkuse ja arusaamisega.
For this cause wee also, since the day wee heard of it, cease not to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be fulfilled with knowledge of his will in all wisdome, and spirituall vnderstanding,
10 Et te saaksite elada Issanda väärilist elu ja talle igati meeldida: kandes vilja kõiges heas töös, kasvades Jumala tundmises,
That ye might walke worthy of the Lord, and please him in all things, being fruitefull in all good workes, and increasing in the knowledge of God,
11 saades vägevaks tema aulise väe läbi, et te oleksite vastupidavad ja kannatlikud,
Strengthened with all might through his glorious power, vnto all patience, and long suffering with ioyfulnesse,
12 tänades rõõmsalt Isa, kes on teid kõlbulikuks teinud osa saama pühade pärandist valguse kuningriigis.
Giuing thankes vnto the Father, which hath made vs meete to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saintes in light,
13 Sest tema on meid päästnud pimeduse meelevallast ning toonud meid oma armsa Poja Kuningriiki.
Who hath deliuered vs from the power of darkenesse, and hath translated vs into the kingdome of his deare Sonne,
14 Temas on meil lunastus, pattude andestus.
In whome we haue redemption through his blood, that is, the forgiuenesse of sinnes,
15 Tema on nähtamatu Jumala kuju, sündinud enne kõike loodut,
Who is the image of the inuisible God, the first begotten of euery creature.
16 sest tema läbi on loodud kõik, mis on taevastes ja maa peal, mis nähtav ja nähtamatu, olgu aujärjed, võimud, valitsused ja meelevallad – kõik on loodud tema läbi ja tema jaoks.
For by him were all things created, which are in heauen, and which are in earth, thinges visible and inuisible: whether they be Thrones or Dominions, or Principalities, or Powers, all things were created by him, and for him,
17 Tema ise on enne kõike ja kõik püsib koos tema sees.
And hee is before all things, and in him all things consist.
18 Tema on oma ihu, koguduse pea. Ta on algus, esmasündinu surnute hulgast, et tema oleks ülim kõiges.
And hee is the head of the body of the Church: he is the beginning, and the first begotten of the dead, that in all thinges hee might haue the preeminence.
19 Sest Jumal arvas heaks panna temasse kogu oma täiuse
For it pleased the Father, that in him should all fulnesse dwell,
20 ja lepitada tema kaudu enesega kõik, kes on maa peal ja kes on taevas, sellega, et ta tegi rahu tema vere läbi, mis ristil valati.
And through peace made by that blood of that his crosse, to reconcile to himselfe through him, through him, I say, all thinges, both which are in earth, and which are in heauen.
21 Kunagi olite teiegi Jumalast võõrdunud ja mõtteviisi poolest tema vaenlased oma kurjade tegudega.
And you which were in times past strangers and enemies, because your mindes were set in euill workes, hath he nowe also reconciled,
22 Nüüd aga on Kristus teid lepitanud oma lihalikus ihus surma läbi, et saaksite seista pühadena, veatuina ja laitmatuina tema ees,
In that body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, and vnblameable and without fault in his sight,
23 kui te jätkate kindlana ja rajatuna usus ega tagane evangeeliumis olevast lootusest. See on evangeelium, mida te olete kuulnud ja mida on kuulutatud kogu loodule taeva all ja mille teenriks olen saanud ka mina, Paulus.
If ye continue, grounded and stablished in the faith, and be not moued away from the hope of the Gospel, whereof ye haue heard, and which hath bene preached to euery creature which is vnder heauen, whereof I Paul am a minister.
24 Nüüd on mul hea meel selle üle, mida ma teie pärast kannatan. Ja kui mu maises elus on veel midagi Kristuse vaevadest olemata, talun ma sedagi tema ihu, see on koguduse heaks.
Now reioyce I in my suffrings for you, and fulfill the rest of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for his bodies sake, which is the Church,
25 Jumal on määranud mind koguduse teenriks, et ma kuulutaksin teile Jumala sõna kogu selle täiuses,
Whereof I am a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which is giuen mee vnto you ward, to fulfill the word of God,
26 saladust, mis oli varjatud läbi aegade ja sugupõlvede, kuid mis nüüd on ilmutatud tema pühadele. (aiōn g165)
Which is the mysterie hid since the world began, and from all ages, but nowe is made manifest to his Saintes, (aiōn g165)
27 Neile tahtis Jumal selle teatavaks teha ja näidata selle saladuse aulisi rikkusi kõigi rahvaste seas; see on Kristus teie sees, kirkuse lootus.
To whome God woulde make knowen what is the riches of his glorious mysterie among the Gentiles, which riches is Christ in you, the hope of glory,
28 Teda me kuulutame, manitsedes ja õpetades igaüht kogu tarkuses, et valmistada ette iga inimest täiuslikuks Kristuses.
Whome we preache, admonishing euery man, and teaching euery man in all wisdome, that we may present euery man perfect in Christ Iesus,
29 Selle nimel ma võitlen ja pingutan Kristuse jõuga, mis minus väega tegutseb.
Whereunto I also labour and striue, according to his working which worketh in me mightily.
