Kološanima 1

1 Od Pavla, po volji Božijoj apostola Isusa Hrista i brata Timotija,

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother,

2 Svetima koji su u Kolosima i vjernoj braæi u Hristu Isusu: blagodat vam i mir od Boga oca našega i Gospoda Isusa Hrista.

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colosse: Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Zahvaljujemo Bogu i ocu Gospoda svojega Isusa Hrista, moleæi se svagda za vas,

We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

4 Èuvši vjeru vašu u Hrista Isusa, i ljubav koju imate k svima svetima,

Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which ye have] to all the saints,

5 Za nad ostavljeni vama na nebesima, za koji naprijed èuste u rijeèi istine jevanðelja,

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye have heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

6 Koje je u vama, kao i u svemu svijetu, i plodno je i raste, kao i u vama, od onoga dana kako èuste i razumjeste blagodat Božiju u istini,

Which is come to you, as [it is] in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth:

7 Kao što i doznaste od Epafrasa, ljubaznoga našeg drugara u služenju, koji je za vas vjerni sluga Hristov,

As ye also learned from Epaphras our dear fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

8 Koji nam i javi vašu ljubav u duhu.

Who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

9 Toga radi i mi od onoga dana kako èusmo ne prestajemo za vas moliti se Bogu i iskati da se ispunite poznanjem volje njegove u svakoj premudrosti i razumu duhovnome,

For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

10 Da živite pristojno Bogu na svako ugaðanje i u svakome dobrom djelu da budete plodni, i da rastete u poznanju Božijemu,

That ye may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 Jaèajuæi svakom snagom po sili slave njegove, i u svakom trpljenju i dugom podnošenju s radošæu;

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness;

12 Zahvaljujuæi Bogu i ocu, koji nas prizva u dijel našljedstva svetijeh u vidjelu;

Giving thanks to the Father, who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Koji nas izbavi od vlasti tamne, i premjesti nas u carstvo sina ljubavi svoje,

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his beloved Son:

14 U kome imamo izbavljenje krvlju njegovom i oproštenje grijeha;

In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:

15 Koji je oblièje Boga što se ne vidi, koji je roðen prije svake tvari.

Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature:

16 Jer kroz njega bi sazdano sve što je na nebu i što je na zemlji, što se vidi i što se ne vidi, bili prijestoli ili gospodstva ili poglavarstva, ili vlasti: sve se kroza nj i za nj sazda.

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are upon earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17 I on je prije svega, i sve je u njemu.

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

18 I on je glava tijelu crkve, koji je poèetak i prvoroðeni iz mrtvijeh, da bude on u svemu prvi;

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; that in all [things] he may have the pre-eminence.

19 Jer bi volja oèina da se u nj useli sva punina,

For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fullness dwell;

20 I kroza nj da primiri sve sa sobom, umirivši krvlju krsta njegova, kroza nj sve, bilo na zemlji ili na nebu.

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself; by him, [I say], whether [they are] things on earth, or things in heaven.

21 I vas koji ste nekad bili odluèeni i neprijatelji kroz pomisli u zlijem djelima,

And you, that were formerly alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled,

22 A sad vas primiri u tijelu mesa njegova smræu njegovom, da vas svete i bez mane i bez krivice izvede preda se;

In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight:

23 Ako samo ostanete u vjeri utemeljeni i tvrdi, i nepokretni od nada jevanðelja, koje èuste, koje je propovijedano svoj tvari pod nebom, kojemu ja Pavle postadoh sluga.

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [are] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which hath been preached to every creature which is under heaven; of which I Paul am made a minister;

24 Sad se radujem u svojemu stradanju za vas, i dovršujem nedostatak nevolja Hristovijeh na tijelu svojemu za tijelo njegovo koje je crkva,

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

25 Kojoj ja postadoh sluga po naredbi Božijoj koja mi je dana meðu vama da ispunim rijeè Božiju,

Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God;

26 Tajnu koja je bila sakrivena od postanja svijeta i naraštaja, a sad se javi svetima njegovijem, (aiōn g165)

[Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages, and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (aiōn g165)

27 Kojima Bog naumi pokazati kako je bogata slava tajne ove meðu neznabošcima, koje je Hristos u vama, nad slave;

To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

28 Kojega mi propovijedamo svjetujuæi svakoga èovjeka, i uèeæi svakoj premudrosti, da pokažemo svakoga èovjeka savršena u Hristu Isusu.

Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

29 Za što se i trudim i borim po njegovoj moæi koja u meni silno èini.

For which I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
