To the believers and trusting Christians at Colossae: may you have grace and peace from God our Father.

We've heard about your trust in Christ Jesus and your love for all the believers

because of the hope prepared for you in heaven. You already heard about this in the good news, the message of truth

that came to you just as it has gone throughout the whole world, spreading widely and bringing results. It's done the same for you too, ever since you heard it and realized the true nature of God's grace.

Our dear friend and fellow-worker Epaphras, who is a trustworthy minister of Christ on our behalf, taught you about this.
8 Hv Dow lokv nonua paknam jilwk kunama ngonua mintam jitoku.
He's also made clear to us your love in the Spirit.

Because of this we continue to pray for you from the time we heard about you, asking God to give you understanding of what he wants you to do and to give you every kind of spiritual wisdom and understanding.

That way you'll live lives that rightly represent the Lord and please him, producing all kinds of good results and gaining greater knowledge of God.

May you be made powerfully strong by his wonderful strength, having great patience and endurance.
May you happily praise the Father, who has made it possible for us to share in the inheritance of God's people who live in the light.
13 Kanvparam gv jwkrw lokv hv ngonua ringlin toku okv ninyigv Kuunyilo gv karv lo laalwk laku ringlwkto.
He rescued us from the tyranny of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 Vbvriku lokv gvngv ngonua anyujvbv rimindakmin moduku okv ngonugv rimur am mvngnga jitoku.
through whom we have been set free and our sins forgiven.
15 Kaapa nyolanv Kristo kaapa nyoka manam Pwknvyarnv aingdo. Hv bvngtubvngke bv bvngnam Kuunyilo go, pwklinyarlinnam dvdv nga kaiyachok nvgo.
The Son is the visible picture of the invisible God. He was before all creation,
16 Holvgabv ninyigv lokv nyidomooku lo doonv okv sichingmooku lo doonv, kaapanam okv kaapa manam ikimora, dowjwklo jwkrw, atu vdwa, rigvdonv, okv tujupkunam vdw aka mintakla mvnwng nga Pwknvyarnv Pwklinto. Pwknvyarnv ninyigv lokv ngv chinggodogo mvnwng nga pwktoku okv ninyigv lvgabv pwktoku.
for everything was created through him—in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, empires, rulers, leaders and authorities—everything was created through him and for him.
17 Ogumvnwng ngv dooma tvbv Kristo doocho linto, okv ninyi gvlo akingobv ridula ogumvnwng ngv atubogv dooji kolo doosu toku.
He existed before everything, and he holds everything together.
18 Hv ninyigv adwnanmar gv dumpo ngv, oogv adwnamar vv gvrja ngv; hv adwnamar gv turlin kobv ridunv. Hv sipikula turkur kunv, Hv mvngchik ogumvnwng nga doocho yachok kunam lvgabv Kuunyilo bvngtu bv ridunv.
He is also the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the first and highest of those raised from the dead, so that he is supreme in everything.
19 Holvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv ninyigv Kuunyilo nga Pwknvyarnv gv ridungnga ridubv ninyi atubogv mvngnam lokv mimbwk toku.
God was pleased to have his full nature live in him,
20 Vbvrikunamv, Kuunyilo lokv, Pwknvyarnv ninyi atubogv gvlo chinggodogo nga laakur lwkdu kubv mimbwk jitoku. Pwknvyarnv ninyigv Kuunyilo gv daapo lo oyi sarjinam lokv sarsopoyo dubv mvtoku holvgabv nyidomooku gv okv sichingmooku gv, anyi gv ogumvnwng dvdv nga ninyi gvlo laakur lwktoku.
and through him brought back everything in the universe to himself, since he made peace through the blood of his cross, through him reconciling all those on the earth and in heaven.
21 Lvko nonu Pwknvyarnvnyi adu laku rito okv vkvlvgavbolo nonugv alv manv oguogu rinam lokv okv mvngmur kunam lokv ninyigv nyimak bv rito.
You once were alienated from God, enemies in the way you thought and the way you acted,
22 Vbvritola vjak, ninyigv Kuunyilo gv adwnamar am sijikunam lokv, Pwknvyarnnv ninyigv ajin bv mvtoku, nonua darwk dubv, darkw dukubv okv gungnying go kaaku madubv, ninyigv dooku lo doomu dukubv vla mvtoku.
but now he has reconciled you through his dying human body, bringing you into his presence where you stand holy, pure, and faultless.
23 Vv jvjvklvbv, nonuv jwkjwkvrwk bv ribv la okv lvngtung tunlwk runglaka, okv nonugv mvngtin sinam gamlv nga tvvpa laku paaku bvdw um nonu atubongv dvlobak mabv ritoka. Soogv gamlv nga nyiamooku mvnwng lo minggo kunam gv soogv pakbubv Paul ngo ripvkunv.
But your trust in him must continue rock-solid and immovable. Don't be shaken from the hope of the good news that you heard, the good news that's been shared throughout the world—that's the work that I Paul have been doing.
24 Okv vjak, ngoogv nonu lvgabv hirukaya bv hinam lvkwng lo ngo mvngpu bv mvngsu dunv, vkvlvgavbolo ngoogv adwnamar lo hirukaya bv hinam si gvrja gv lvgabv, vjvlodvbv oguaingbv Kristo gv ninyigv adwnamar am hirukaya bv hila ritungnga ripwngrinya ridubv ngo ridur dvnv.
I'm happy to have trouble for your sake, for by means of what happens to me physically I'm part of Christ's sufferings that he continues to experience for the sake of his body, the church.
25 Okv ngam oogv nonugv alvnam lvgabv kudungkua riya dubv jinv, Pwknvyarnv gv lokv ngam gvrja gv pakbu ako bv mvto. Hoogv kudungkua vnamv doin am japnyachika jidubv kudungkua jinamgo.
I serve the church following the direction God gave me about you, to present fully the word of God to you.
26 Oogv klukuchu gv vngrokunv nyia adwnamar am chimu mabv Pwknvyarnv gv vvching kunamgo vbvritola vjak ninyigv nyi vdwa kaatam la riduku. (aiōn g165)
This is the mystery that was hidden down through the ages and for many generations, but it's now been revealed to God's people. (aiōn g165)
27 Pwknvyarnv gv rungnamv ninyigv arwng gv vvsi nama ninyigv nyi vdwa chimpa modubv vla, soogv nyitv okv vvsinam yunglit si hv nyi mvnwng gv lvgabv doogvto. Okv oogv vvsinam vv Kristo nonugv aralo doodu, vbvrikunamv vv nonu Pwknvyarnv gv yunglitnam aba lo rireku.
God wanted to make known to them the glorious wealth of this mystery to the nations: Christ living in you is the glorious hope!

We're telling everyone about him, instructing and teaching them in the best way we know how so that we can bring everyone before God fully mature in Christ.
29 Sum ripwngrinya gvvdubv vla ngo gvlo oogv kudungkua ridunv jwkrw lokv okv oogv kristo gv kairungnv gwlwk jinama ngo rinvla okv raitungtung bv ridukunv.
That's what I'm working for too, making every effort as I rely on his strength which is powerfully at work in me.
