1 Sel Paul, sie mwet sap lun Christ Jesus ke sripen oakwuk lun God, oayapa sel Timothy, mwet wiasr in lulalfongi —
Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Timothy,
2 Nu sin mwet lun God in acn Colossae, mwet wiasr su oaru in fahsr tukun Christ: Lela tuh God Papa tumasr Elan asot kulang ac misla nu suwos.
to the saints who are in Colossae and the faithful brethren in Christ. Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
3 Pacl nukewa kut sang kulo nu sin God, Papa tumun Leum lasr Jesus Christ, ke kut pre keiwos.
We give thanks to God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
4 Tuh kut lohng tari ke lulalfongi lowos in Christ Jesus, ac ke lungse lowos nu sin mwet lun God nukewa.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the divine love which you have toward all the saints.
5 Ke kowos tufahna lohng kas pwaye ke Pweng Wo uh, kowos lohng ke finsrak se ma pweng se inge asot nu suwos. Ouinge lulalfongi ac lungse lowos uh oakwuki fin ma su kowos finsrak kac, su oan soanekowos inkusrao.
on account of the hope which awaits you in the heavens, which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
6 Pweng wo uh tiana tui in ase mwe insewowo ac el fahsrelik nu fin faclu nufon, oana ma sikyak inmasrlowos, mutawauk ke len se emeet kowos tufahna lohng ke lungkulang lun God, ac mutawauk in kalem ke pwayeiya uh.
having come to you, as it is indeed in the whole world bearing fruit and increasing, as also among you, from the day on which you heard and have known the grace of God in truth;
7 Kowos tuh lohng ke lungkulang lun God uh sel Epaphras, mwet kulansap kulo wiasr, su sie mwet orekma oaru lun Christ in aol kut inmasrlowos.
as you have learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is the faithful minister of Christ your behalf,
8 El srumun nu sesr ke lungse su Ngun asot nu suwos.
who also having revealed to us your divine love in the Spirit.
9 Ke sripa se inge, ke pacl se kut tufahna lohng keiwos nwe misenge kut pre na keiwos, ac siyuk God Elan oru tuh kowos in arulana kalem ke ma lungse lal, ke etauk ac lalmwetmet nukewa su Ngun lal uh ase.
Therefore we, from the day on which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the perfect knowledge of his will in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding,
10 Na kowos fah ku in moul fal nu ke ma lungse lun Leum, ac oru ma su akinsewowoyal pacl nukewa. Moul lowos uh ac ku in oswe kain orekma wo nukewa, ac kowos fah kapkapak in etauk lowos ke God.
that you may walk worthily of the Lord in all loyalty, in every good work bearing fruit, and increasing in the perfect knowledge of God.
11 Lela God Elan akkeye kowos ke ku wolana lal, tuh kowos fah ku in mutangla ma nukewa ke mongfisrasr, ac kowos in engan
being impowered with all power, according to the might of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy;
12 ac sang kulo nu sin Papa, su oru tuh kut in fal in wi ipeis ke ma su El akoela nu sin mwet lal in tokosrai lun kalem.
giving thanks to the Father, who has made us worthy unto a participation of the inheritance of the saints in light;
13 El molikutla liki ku lun lohsr uh, ac uskutme nu in tokosrai lun Wen kulo natul.
who delivered us from the power of darkness, and transplanted us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 Ke sripal kut aksukosokyeyukla, su kalmeya pa God El nunak munas nu sesr ke ma koluk lasr.
in whom we have redemption, the remission of sins:
15 Christ el oana luman God, su kut tia ku in liye, ac el pa Wounse, su fulat liki ma orekla nukewa.
who is the image of the invisible God, being the first begotten of all creation,
16 Tuh ke el, God El orala ma nukewa inkusrao ac fin faclu, ma liyeyuk ac ma tia ku in liyeyuk, weang pac ku lun ngun inge nukewa: leum, ac mwet kol, ac wal fulat ma oan yen engyeng uh. God El orala ma nukewa inkusrao, fin faclu, ac yen engyeng uh kacl ac nu sel.
because in him all things are created, in the heavens and upon the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All things were created by him, and unto him;
17 Christ el nuna oasr meet liki orekla ma nukewa, ac ma nukewa oakwuki wo in acn se ke sripal.
and he before all things, and all things consist in him:
18 El pa sifen church, su pa manol, ac el pa sang kuiyen moul nu ke mano. El pa Wounse, su akmoulyeyukyak liki misa, tuh in el pa oemeet in ma nukewa.
and himself is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, in order that in all things himself may be preeminent:
19 God El sifacna sulela in akkalemye ouiyal sifacna ac ma pwaye nukewa kacl in Wen natul.
because in him all fulness is pleased to dwell;
20 Ke ma inge, God El sulela in folokoneni ma orekla nukewa nu sel sifacna ke Wen natul. God El iwekutla nu sel ke srahn Wen natul ke el misa fin sakseng, ac ouinge God El folokoneni ma nukewa nu sel sifacna, ma inkusrao lucng ac fin faclu ten.
and through him, to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross: through him, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.
21 Meet kowos muta loesla liki God, ac kowos mwet lokoalok lal ke sripen orekma koluk ac nunak koluk lowos.
And you, being at one time aliens and enemies in your minds on account of wicked works, nevertheless he has now reconciled
22 A inge, ke sripen misa in mano lun Wen natul, God El orala kowos mwet kawuk lac lal, tuh kowos in ku in tuku nu yorol ke mutal ac nasnas ac wangin mwatuwos.
in the body of his cross through death, to present you holy and blameless and unreprovable before him,
23 Kowos enenu in sruokyana moul in lulalfongi lowos fin sie pwelung na ku ac pwaye, ac tia lela in mokleyukla kowos liki finsrak se kowos eis tari ke kowos lohng Wosasu. Nga, Paul, ekla sie mwet kulansap lun Wosasu se inge — Wosasu se ma fwackyuk nu sin mwet nukewa fin faclu.
if you abide in the faith, having been grounded and firm, and not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, having been preached in all creation which is under heaven; whose minister I Paul became.
24 Ac inge nga engan ke moul in keok luk keiwos, tuh ke sripen keok lun monuk, nga wi kasru in aksafyela ma lula ke keok lun Christ su el keok kac ke sripen mano se inge, su pa church.
Now I rejoice in sufferings in your behalf, and am filling up the residue of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh in behalf of his body, which is the church;
25 God El kuneyuwi tuh nga in sie mwet kulansap lun church. El ase kunokon se inge nu sik nga in oru in kasrekowos. Kunokon se inge pa in fahkak nufon ke kas lal,
whose minister I became, according to the economy of God which was given to me unto you, to fulfill the word of God,
26 su oana sie ma saok ma God El okanla liki fwil puspis somla, a inge El akkalemyela nu sin mwet lal. (aiōn g165)
the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from the generations: but is now made manifest to his saints, (aiōn g165)
27 God El kena tuh mwet lal in etu ma su El tia akkalemye meet — ma su arulana saok ac wolana, su El akoo nu sin mwet nukewa. Ac pa inge ma wolana se ma tia eteyuk meet: Christ el oasr in kowos, ac kowos in arulana etu lah kowos ac wi ipeis ke wolana lun God.
to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Ouinge kut fahkak Christ nu sin mwet nukewa. In etauk nukewa su oasr yorosr, kut srike in sensenkakin ac luti nu selos tuh kut fah ku in pwanma kais sie selos nu ye mutun God, oana sie mwet matula in nunak ac ma sefanna yurin Christ.
whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man perfect in Christ;
29 Nga orekma upa in ku in orala ma se inge, ac kwafeang in oru ma kunuk ke nga orekmakin ku lulap su Christ el ase nu sik, su orekma in nga.
unto which I also labor, agonizing according to his energy, working in me with power.
