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 Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, the 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 brethren in Christ, who are at Colosse: Favor to you, and peace 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 give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ always, 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,
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have to 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;
for the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you have formerly heard in the word of truth of 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.
which is present among you, as it is also in the world, and is bringing forth fruit and prevailing, even as among you, from that day you heard and knew the favor of God in truth--
7 E like mo ka oukou hoolohe ana ia Epapera i ko maua hoakauwa aloha, i ko Kristo kahunapule hoopono no oukou;
even as you learned it of Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ,
8 Nana no i hoike mai ia maua i ko oukou aloha ma ka naau.
who has also declared to us your love in 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, we also, from the day we heard these things, do not cease to pray for you, and to request that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual 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.
that you may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, bringing forth fruit by every good work, and increasing 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 strength, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joy:
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 us for a portion of 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;
who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated 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.
by whom we have redemption, even the remission 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.
He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of the whole 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.
Because, by him were created all things which are in the heavens, and which are upon the earth; things visible, and things invisible; whether thrones, or lordships, or governments, or powers; all things were created by 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.
And he is before all things; and by him all things consist.
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, even the congregation. He is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in all respects he might be pre-eminent.
19 No ka mea, o ka pono no ia i ka Makua e noho nui ka pono a pau iloko ona;
For it pleased the Father that all fullness should 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 by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; I say, by him, whether they be things on the earth, or things in the heavens.
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,
Even you, who were formerly alienated in mind, and enemies by wicked works,
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;
he has now, indeed, reconciled, by the body of his flesh, to present you holy and unblamable, and unreprovable, in his sight;
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 the faith founded and stable, and not removed from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature which is under heaven; of which I, Paul, am made a minister.
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.
I now rejoice in sufferings for you, and fill up the remainder of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for his body, which is the congregation;
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;
of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which was given to me on your account, fully to declare 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 secret which had been kept hid from the ages, and from the generations, but now has been made manifest 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 whom God has pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, 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.
whom we announce, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, with all wisdom, that we may present every man 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.
For which I also labor, combating vigorously, according to the effectual working of him who works effectually in me with power.
