giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13 Me kotin kapiti sang kitail manaman en rotorot, ap kotin kasau kitail dong nan wein Na kompokepa,
who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 Me kotin dore kitail la iei lapwan dip atail,
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
15 I me kasale pan Kot, me so sansal, me meseni en audepa karos.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 Pwe karos wiauiki i, karos me mi nanlang o sappa, me sansal o me so sansal, ma me poe kan, de saumas akan, de wei kan, de manaman akan, meakaros wiauiki i o ong i.
For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
17 O i me kotikot mon meakaros o meakaros memaureki i.
He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
20 I ari kalolamau penang pein i meakan karos, ma ni sappa de nanlang, ni a kotin wiada muei mau ki ntan a lopu.
and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
21 O komail, me doo wei sang o imwintiti mas o ni omail lamelame o wiawia sued akan,
You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
22 A kotin kalolamau komail lar ki war a uduk ni a matala, pwen kapware kin komail da saraui o pung o so kadeik pa omail mo a.
yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
23 Ma komail dadaurata poson o tengeteng o so mokid wei sang ni kaporopor ki rongamau, me komail rongadar, o me lolok ong audepa karos me mi pan lang, me ngai Paulus wialar papa men.
if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
24 I ap perenki ai kalokolok ki komail o men kaimwisok kila uduk ai me luedi ni kamekam en Kristus, pweki war a, iei momodisou,
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
25 Me i wialar papa men duen koa dodok en Kot, me i aleer pweki komail pwen usela masan en Kot.
of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me towards you to fulfil the word of God,

the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints, (aiōn g165)
27 Me Kot men kasansaleda kapwapwa en lingan en rir wet ong men liki kan, iei Kristus me kotikot lol omail, i kaporopor en lingan.
to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery amongst the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 I me kit kin padaki o panepanaui aramas karos, o padapadaki aramas karos ni lolekong karos, pwe kit en kapwareda aramas karos ni unsoki ong Kristus.
We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
29 I me i pil dodok kelail, duen wiawia en i me kin dodok kelail lol i.
for which I also labour, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
