I Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, I and Timothy my brother,
2 Chike ri tyoxalaj taq kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa Colosas chuya toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chike rech ri qatat Dios.
to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ that are in Colosse: grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Kujtyoxin che ri Dios, Tataxel re ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, kaqabꞌan chꞌawem piꞌwiꞌ,
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 rumal qatom ri ikojobꞌal pa Cristo Jesús, xuqujeꞌ ri iloqꞌanik chike ri kojonelabꞌ.
since we heard of your faithfulness in Christ Jesus, and your love for all the saints,
5 Xa rumal ri kuꞌlibꞌal ikꞌuꞌx ri yaktal pa ri kaj. Pa we kꞌulibꞌal kꞌuꞌx riꞌ, ri ix xita ri utz laj tzij re qas tzij, ri utz laj tzij
in consequence 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 gospel,
6 ri xopan iwukꞌ. We utz laj tzij riꞌ tajin kawachinik xuqujeꞌ tajin kakꞌiyik pa ronojel ri uwachulew, je xuqujeꞌ xkꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ix pa ri qꞌij ri xito xuqujeꞌ xichꞌobꞌ ri qas tzij rech ri jeꞌl laj utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
which is present among you, as it is also in all the world, and is producing fruit, even as it has been doing also among you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
7 Jetaq ri xiwetaꞌmaj rukꞌ ri Epafras, patanil re ri Cristo xuqujeꞌ toꞌl qe uj, rumal iwe.
as you learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ for you,
8 Areꞌ xtzijon chaqe ri iloqꞌanik pa ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
and who also made known to us your love in spirit.
9 Are xqatabꞌej rech we riꞌ, man uj tanalinaq taj che ubꞌanik chꞌawem piꞌwiꞌ. Kaqata che ri Dios rech kubꞌano chi rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal kiwetaꞌmaj ri rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ronojel etaꞌmanik xuqujeꞌ chꞌobꞌonik pa ri Uxlabꞌixel.
For this reason, we also, from the day in which we heard it, 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 Rech je kixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri karaj ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kaqaj choch ronojel ri kibꞌano. Rech kixwachinik pa ronojel ri chak ri kibꞌano, xuqujeꞌ rech kixkꞌiy pa ri etaꞌmanik rech ri Dios.
so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, in order to please him in all things, by means of every good work bringing forth fruit, and increasing in the knowledge, of God,
11 Kaqata che ri Dios rech kayaꞌtaj ichuqꞌabꞌ rukꞌ ri jeꞌlalaj ukwinem rech ri ujuluwem. Rech ko kixkꞌojiꞌk, kixayeꞌnik rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal,
strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, in order to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness,
12 kujtyoxin che ri Tataxel ri xuya bꞌe chaqe kaqakꞌamawaꞌj qechabꞌal kukꞌ ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq, pa ri ajawarem rech ri tunal.
giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Areꞌ xujresaj xeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri qꞌequꞌmal xujuqꞌaxaj pa ri ajawarem rech ri Loqꞌalaj uKꞌojol.
who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
14 Pa Cristo xujtortaj wi, xuqujeꞌ xqakꞌamawaꞌj ri kuybꞌal qamak.
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;
15 Ri Cristo are ukaꞌyebꞌal ri Dios ri man kilitaj taj. Are nim uqꞌij choch ronojel ri jastaq ri xetikik.
who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature;
16 Rumal rech areꞌ xetikitaj ronojel ri jastaq pa ri kaj xuqujeꞌ choch ri uwachulew, ri jastaq ri kiꞌlitaj uwach, xuqujeꞌ ri man kiꞌlitaj ta uwach, tꞌuyulibꞌal kech e taqanelabꞌ, kwinem, e chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ winaq ri kabꞌan ke. Xtikitaj loq rumal areꞌ xuqujeꞌ rech areꞌ.
for by him were all things created, things in heaven and things in earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities; all things were created by him, and for him:
17 Are kꞌo nabꞌe choch ronojel ri jastaq, xa rumal areꞌ e kꞌolik, are xuqujeꞌ kabꞌanowik chi kechakun ronojel.
and he is before all things, and by him all things consist:
18 Are ri Cristo ujolom ri komontyox, areꞌ majibꞌal rech ronojel, are nabꞌyal chike konojel ri e kꞌastajinaq, rech jeriꞌ areꞌ nabꞌyal che ronojel.
and he is the head of the body, the church: and he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things he might be preeminent;
19 Rumal chi xraj ri Tataxel chi pa Cristo kakꞌojiꞌ ronojel ri Dios,
for it pleased the Father that all his fullness should dwell in him,
20 xuqujeꞌ rumal areꞌ xeꞌrutzirisaj ri jastaq ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew rukꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri kaj, xubꞌan jaꞌmaril chikixoꞌl, rukꞌ ri ukikꞌel ri xtixtobꞌ cho ri ripbꞌal.
and by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; by him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
21 Pune ojer ix najtininaq kanoq che ri Dios rumal ri iwetzelal xuqujeꞌ ri inoꞌjibꞌal, ix bꞌanal taq itzel taq chak.
And you, who were formerly alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled
22 Kamik kꞌut ri Dios, rukꞌ ri ukamikal ri Cristo xixrutzirisaj rech are kixujacho ixchꞌajchꞌoj, ix tyoxalaj taq winaq xuqujeꞌ xa ta ne jun makaj kariqitaj chiꞌwe are kixujach cho Areꞌ.
by means of death in his fleshly body, that he may present you holy, and without spot, and blameless in his sight;
23 Rech ko kixkꞌojiꞌ pa ri ikojobꞌal, man kixtzaq taj, rech man kixel ta pa ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri kutzuj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe. Are waꞌ ri utz laj tzij ri xito xuqujeꞌ ri tzijotal pa ronojel ri uwachulew xeꞌ ri kaj, are waꞌ ri tajin kintzijoj in, in Pablo.
if you continue in the faith, founded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, have been made a minister.
24 Kinkiꞌkotik are kinriq ri kꞌax pa ri nutyoꞌjal rumal iwe, xuqujeꞌ kintzꞌaqatisaj pa ri nutyoꞌjal ri kajawataj na che ri qꞌoxomal rech ri Cristo, rumal rech ri utyoꞌjal, are waꞌ ri komontyox.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up what remains of my sufferings for Christ in my flesh for the sake of his body, which is the church,
25 Rumal we komontyox riꞌ xinux patanijel rech ri Dios rumal iwe, rech kintzijoj ri utzij ri Dios.
of which I was made a minister according to the commission from God, which was given to me for you, that I might fully preach the word of God,
26 Are kintzijoj ri awatal kan najtir ojer, qꞌij junabꞌ, kamik kꞌut xkꞌut chikiwach ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq. (aiōn g165)
the mystery which was concealed from the ages and the generations, but is now made manifest to his saints, (aiōn g165)
27 Chike we winaq riꞌ ri Dios xraj xukꞌut ri ujuluwem rech ri uqꞌinomal ri awatal loq chikiwach ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are waꞌ ri Cristo ri kꞌo pa iwanimaꞌ ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx rech juluwem.
to whom God would make known what is the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,
28 Are waꞌ ri Cristo ri kaqatzijoj chike ri winaq, keꞌqapixibꞌax, kaqakꞌut chikiwach rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal rech e tzꞌaqat keꞌqajacho pa Cristo.
whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Rumal waꞌ kinchakunik kinkoj nuchuqꞌabꞌ ri kinkꞌamawaꞌj che ri Cristo, ri kachakun pa wanimaꞌ.
to which end I also labor, striving according to his energy, which works in me mightily.
