Kolosa 1
1 NA Paulo aku, na ka lunaolelo a Iesu Kristo ma ka manao mai o ke Akua, na Timoteo hoi ka hoahanau,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 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.
To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
3 Ke hoomaikai aku nei maua i ke Akua, i ka Makua o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo, e pule mau ana no oukou,
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
4 Ua lohe maua i ko oukou manaoio ana ia Kristo Iesu, a me ko oukou aloha ana i na haipule a pau,
because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints—
5 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;
the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel
6 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.
that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood the grace of God.
7 E like mo ka oukou hoolohe ana ia Epapera i ko maua hoakauwa aloha, i ko Kristo kahunapule hoopono no oukou;
You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
8 Nana no i hoike mai ia maua i ko oukou aloha ma ka naau.
and who also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
9 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;
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10 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.
so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
11 E hooikaika nui ia mai oukou e kona mana nani, i ke kupaa ana, a me ke ahonui a me ka olioli;
being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully
12 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.
giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.
13 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;
He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,
14 Iloko ona ke ola no kakou i kona koko, o ke kala ana'e o ka hewa.
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
15 Oia hoi ka like me ke Akua i nana ole ia, oia hoi ka mua o na mea a pau i hanaia'i.
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 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.
For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17 Oia hoi ka mua o na mea a pau, a ma ona la no hoi i mau ai na mea a pau.
He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
18 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.
And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.
19 No ka mea, o ka pono no ia i ka Makua e noho nui ka pono a pau iloko ona;
For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,
20 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.
and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.
21 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,
Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds.
22 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;
But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence—
23 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.
if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
24 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.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.
25 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;
I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully proclaim to you the word of God,
26 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 g165)
the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints. (aiōn g165)
27 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:
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 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.
We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
29 Nalaila hoi ka'u hana e hooikaika nui nei, e like me kana hana i hooikaika nui mai nei iloko o'u.
To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
