Paul an apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God and Timothy the brother

2 Gara qulqulloota, obboloota Kiristoosiin amanamoo taʼan kanneen Qolosaayis jiraataniitti: Abbaa keenya Waaqa biraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.

To those in Colossae saints and faithful brothers in Christ: Grace to you and peace from God [the] Father of us (and Lord Jesus Christ. *K*)

3 Nu yommuu isiniif kadhannutti Waaqa, Abbaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos yeroo hunda ni galateeffanna;

We give thanks to the God (and *ko*) Father of the Lord of us Jesus Christ continually (for *NK(o)*) you praying,

4 amantii isin Kiristoos Yesuusitti qabdanii fi jaalala isin qulqulloota hundaaf qabdan sana dhageenyeerraatii;

having heard of the faith of you in Christ Jesus and the love (that *N(k)O*) (you have *no*) toward all the saints,

5 kunis sababii abdii samii keessatti isinii kuufame sanaatiif; isin waaʼee abdii kanaa duraanuu dubbii dhugaa, wangeela keessatti dhageessaniirtu;

because of the hope which is being laid up for you in the heavens which you heard of before in the word of truth the gospel

6 wangeelli kunis isin bira gaʼeera. Wangeelli kunis gaafa isin isa dhageessanii dhugumaan ayyaana Waaqaa hubattanii jalqabee akkuma isin gidduutti hojjechaa ture sana addunyaa guutuu keessattis ija naqachaa fi guddachaa jira.

which is being present unto you, even as also in all the world (and *k*) it is bearing fruit (and increasing *NO*) even as also among you from the day you heard and you knew the grace of God in truth,

7 Kanas tajaajilaa jaallatamaa hidhata keenya taʼe Ephaafiraa irraa barattaniirtu; innis Kiristoosiif tajaajilaa amanamaa taʼee iddoo keenya kan buʼee dha;

even as (and *k*) you learned from Epaphras the beloved fellow bond-servant of us, who is faithful on behalf of (of you *NK(O)*) a servant of Christ,

8 inni waaʼee jaalala keessan kan Hafuurri isinii kenne sanaas nutti himeera.

the [one] also having made known to us your love in [the] Spirit.

9 Sababii kanaaf nu gaafa waaʼee keessan dhageenyee jalqabnee isinii kadhachuu fi akka Waaqni karaa ogummaatii fi hubannaa hafuuraa hundaan beekumsa fedhii isaatiin isin guutu kadhachuu hin dhiifne.

Because of this also we ourselves from the day we heard, not cease for you praying and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of Him in all wisdom and in understanding spiritual

10 Kunis akka isin hojii gaarii hundaan ija naqachaa, Waaqa beekuudhaanis guddachaa, jireenya Gooftaaf maluu fi kan karaa hundaan isa gammachiisu jiraattaniif;

to walk (you *k*) worthily of the Lord in all pleasing in every work good bringing forth fruit and growing (into *k*) (knowledge *N(k)O*) of God,

11 isinis jajjabinaa fi obsa guddaa akka qabaattaniif, akkuma aangoo isaa ulfina qabeessa sanaatti humna hundaan jabaachaa, gammadaas

with all power being strengthened according to the might glorious of Him unto all endurance and patience with joy.

12 Waaqa Abbaa kan akka isin mootummaa ifaa keessatti qulqulloota wajjin dhaala keessatti hirmaattan isin dandeessise sana galateeffadhaa.

giving thanks to the Father the [One] having qualified (you *N(K)O*) for the share of the inheritance of the saints in the light,

13 Inni taayitaa dukkanaa jalaa nu baasee gara mootummaa Ilma inni jaallatuutti nu dabarseeraatii;

who has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred [us] into the kingdom of the Son the beloved of Him,

14 nus isumaan furama, jechuunis dhiifama cubbuu arganneerra.

in whom we have redemption (through the blood of him *K*) the forgiveness of sins;

15 Inni fakkaattii Waaqa hin mulʼanne sanaa ti; uumama hundaafis hangafa.

[He] is [the] image of the God invisible, [the] firstborn over all creation;

16 Wanni hundinuu isumaan uumameetii: Wanni samii keessaa fi lafa irraa, wanni mulʼatuu fi hin mulʼanne, teessoowwan yookaan humnoonni yookaan bulchitoonni yookaan taayitaawwan, wanni hundinuu isumaan, isumaaf uumaman.

because in Him were created all things (which [are] *k*) in the heavens and (*ko*) upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things through Him and unto Him have been created,

17 Inni waan hunda dura jira; wanni hundinuu isumaan wal qabatee dhaabata.

And He himself is before all things, and all things in Him have held together,

18 Inni mataa dhagna isaa, mataa waldaa kiristaanaa ti; waan hunda irratti ol aantummaa akka qabaatuufis inni kan jalqabaa ti; warra duʼan keessaa kaafamuudhaanis hangafa.

And He himself is the head of the body the church; who is (the *o*) beginning, firstborn out from the dead, so that may be in all things He himself holding preeminence;

19 Waaqni guutummaan isaa hundi isa keessa jiraachuu isaatti gammadeeraatii;

because in Him was pleased all the fullness to dwell

20 dhiiga isaa kan fannoo irratti dhangalaʼe sanaanis nagaa buusuudhaan waan lafa irra jiru yookaan waan samii keessa jiru hunda karaa isaatiin ofitti araarseeraatii.

and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of the cross of Him, through Him whether the [things] on the earth or the [things] (in *NK(o)*) the heavens;

21 Isinis dur amala keessan hamaa sanaan Waaqatti orma taatanii yaada keessaniinis diinota turtan.

And you once being alienated and hostile in mind in the deeds evil, now however (He has reconciled [You] *NK(O)*)

22 Amma garuu qulqulloota mudaa hin qabnee fi warra hirʼina hin qabne godhee fuula isaa duratti isin dhiʼeessuuf dhagna foon Kiristoosiin, karaa duʼa isaatiin isin araarseera;

in the body of the flesh of Him through death to present you holy and unblemished and blameless before Him.

23 kunis yoo isin amantii keessaniin itti fuftan, yoo jabaattanii dhaabattanii fi yoo isin abdii wangeelaa irraa hin sochoone taʼa. Wangeelli kunis isuma isin dhageessanii fi isuma samii gaditti uumama hundatti lallabamee dha; ani Phaawulosis wangeeluma kanaaf tajaajilaa taʼeera.

if indeed you continue in the faith established and firm and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which having been proclaimed in all (*k*) creation under heaven, of which have become I myself Paul a minister.

24 Ani amma isiniif dhiphachuu kootti nan gammada; waan dhiphina Kiristoos dhagna isaatiif jechuunis waldaa kiristaanaatiif jedhee dhiphate sana keessaa hirʼates ani foon kootiin nan guuta.

Now I rejoice in the sufferings (of mine *k*) for you and I am filling up that which is lacking of the tribulations of Christ in the flesh of mine for the body of Him which is the church;

25 Ergama Waaqni natti kenneen ani akka dubbii Waaqaa guutummaatti isinii dhiʼeessuuf tajaajilaa waldaa kiristaanaa taʼeera;

of which became I myself a minister according to the administration of God which having been given me toward you to complete the word of God,

26 dubbiin kunis icciitii barootaa fi dhaloota jalaa dhokfamee turee dha; amma garuu qulqulloota isaatti mulʼifameera. (aiōn g165)

the mystery which hidden from the ages and from the generations, (now *N(k)O*) however having been manifested to the saints of Him; (aiōn g165)

27 Waaqni badhaadhummaan ulfina icciitii kanaa hammam guddaa akka taʼe Namoota Ormaa gidduutti qulqulloota isaatti beeksisuu filateera; icciitiin kunis Kiristoos, abdii ulfinaa isa isin keessa jiruu dha.

to whom has willed God to make known (what the *N(k)O*) riches of the glory of the mystery this among the Gentiles, (which *N(k)O*) is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

28 Nus isuma lallabna; nama hunda kan guutumaan guutuutti Kiristoositti bilchaataa taʼe akka dhiʼeessinuuf, tokkoo tokkoo namaa ogummaa hundaan gorsaa barsiisna.

whom we ourselves preach admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that we may present every man perfect in Christ (Jesus *K*)

29 Kanaafuu ani akkuma hojii humna isaa kan ciminaan na keessatti hojjetu sanaatti carraaqaa nan dhimma.

Unto this also I toil striving according to the energy of Him who is working in me myself in power.
