Kolosa 1
1 NA Paulo aku, na ka lunaolelo a Iesu Kristo ma ka manao mai o ke Akua, na Timoteo hoi ka hoahanau,
From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, also a follower of the Lord.
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 Christ’s people at Colossae – the followers who are faithful to him: May God, our Father, bless you and give you peace.
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,
Whenever we pray we never fail to thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 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,
now that we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all his people,
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;
because of the hope which is kept safe for you in heaven. Of this hope you heard long ago in the true message of the good news which reached you,
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.
bearing fruit and growing, as it does, through all the world, just as it did among you from the very day that you heard of God’s loving kindness, and understood what that loving kindness really is.
7 E like mo ka oukou hoolohe ana ia Epapera i ko maua hoakauwa aloha, i ko Kristo kahunapule hoopono no oukou;
It is just what you learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who, as a minister of the Christ, faithfully represents us,
8 Nana no i hoike mai ia maua i ko oukou aloha ma ka naau.
and who told us of the love with which the Spirit has inspired you.
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;
And therefore we, from the very day that we heard this, have never ceased praying for you, or asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of God, which comes through all true spiritual wisdom and insight.
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.
Then you will live lives worthy of the Master, and so please God in every way. Your lives will be fruitful in every kind of good action, and grow into a fuller 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;
you will be made strong at all points with a strength worthy of the power manifested in his glory – strong to endure with patience, and even with gladness, whatever may happen to you;
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.
and you will give thanks to the Father who made you fit to share the lot which awaits Christ’s people in the realms of 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;
For God has rescued us from the tyranny of darkness, and has removed us into the kingdom of his Son, who is the embodiment of his love,
14 Iloko ona ke ola no kakou i kona koko, o ke kala ana'e o ka hewa.
and through whom we have found deliverance in the forgiveness of our 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.
For Christ is the incarnation of the invisible God – firstborn and head of 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 was created all that is in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible – angels and archangels and all the powers of heaven.
17 Oia hoi ka mua o na mea a pau, a ma ona la no hoi i mau ai na mea a pau.
All has been created through him and for him. He was before all things, and all things unite in him;
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 church, which is his body. The firstborn from the dead, he is to the church the source of its life, that he, in all things, may stand first.
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 in him the divine nature in all its fulness should live,
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 all things to himself (making peace by the shedding of Christ’s blood offered on the cross) – whether on earth or in heaven.
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,
And it pleased God that you, once estranged from him and hostile towards him in your thoughts, intent only on wickedness –
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 to himself by the sacrifice of Christ’s earthly body in death – it has pleased God that you should stand in his presence holy, pure, and blameless,
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 only you remain true to your faith, firm and immovable, never abandoning the hope held out in the good news to which you listened, which has been proclaimed among all created things under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made an assistant.
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 at last I can rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf, and in my own person I supplement the afflictions endured by the Christ, for the sake of his body, 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;
of which I myself became a minister in virtue of the office with which God entrusted me for your benefit, to declare the message of God in all its fulness –
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)
that truth which has been hidden from former ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to God’s people, (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 it was his pleasure to make known the surpassing glory of that hidden truth when proclaimed among the Gentiles – ‘Christ among you! Your 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.
This is the Christ whom we proclaim, warning everyone, and instructing everyone, with all the wisdom that we possess, in the hope of bringing everyone into God’s presence perfected by union with Christ.
29 Nalaila hoi ka'u hana e hooikaika nui nei, e like me kana hana i hooikaika nui mai nei iloko o'u.
It is for that I toil, struggling with all the energy which he inspires and which works powerfully within me.
