From Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, our Brother.

2 Colossen diraden saindu eta anaye fideley Christean: Gratia dela çuequin eta baquea gure Iainco Aitaganic, eta Iesus Christ Iaunaganic.

To Christ’s People at Colossae — the Brothers who are faithful to him: May God, our Father, bless you and give you peace.

3 Esquerrac emaiten drautzagu Iaincoari, cein baita, Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren Aita bethi çuengatic othoitz eguiten dugula,

Whenever we pray, we never fail to thank God, the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, about you,

4 Ençunic çuen fede Iesus Christ baithangoa eta saindu gucietara duçuen charitatea:

now that we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all his People,

5 Ceruètan çuey beguiratzen çaiçuen sperançagatic, cein Euangelioaren eguiazco hitzaz lehen ençun vkan baituçue,

on account of the hope which awaits its fulfilment in Heaven. Of this hope you heard long ago in the true Message of the Good News which reached you —

6 Cein heldu içan baita çuetara, mundu orotara-ere beçala, eta fructificatzen baitu, çuec baithan-ere beçala, Iaincoaren gratiá eguiazqui ençun eta eçagutu vkan duçuen egunaz gueroztic.

Bearing fruit and growing, as it does, through all the world, just as it did among you, from the very day that you heard of God’s loving-kindness, and understood what that loving-kindness really is.

7 Nola ikassi-ere baituçue Epaphras gure lagun maite eta cerbitzari-quideaganic, cein baita Christen ministre fidel çuendaco:

It is just what you learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow-servant, who, as a minister of the Christ, faithfully represents us,

8 Ceinec declaratu-ere baitraucu çuen Spirituazco charitatea.

and who told us of the love with which the Spirit has inspired you.

9 Halacotz gu-ere haur ençun vkan guenduen egunaz gueroztic, ezgara baratzen çuengatic othoitz eguitetic eta galdeguitetic betha çaitezten haren vorondatearen eçagutzeaz, sapientia eta adimendu spiritual gucirequin:

And therefore we, from the very day that we heard this, have never ceased praying for you, or asking that you may possess that deeper knowledge of the will of God, which comes through all true spiritual wisdom and insight.

10 Iaunari dagocan beçala ebil çaiteztençát, gauça gucietan haren gogaraco çaretençát, obra on orotan fructificatzen duçuela, eta aitzinaratzen çaretala Iaincoaren eçagutzean.

Then you will live lives worthy of the Master, and so please God in every way. Your lives will be fruitful in every kind of good action, and your characters will grow through a fuller knowledge of God;

11 Indar orotan fortificaturic, haren gloriaren verthutearen arauez, suffrimendu eta spirituzco patientia orotara bozcariorequin:

you will be made strong at all points with a strength worthy of the power manifested in his Glory — strong to endure with patience, and even with gladness, whatever may befall you;

12 Esquerrac emaiten drautzaçuela Aitari, ceinec sufficient eguin baiquaitu sainduén heretagean participant içateco arguian:

and you will give thanks to the Father who made you fit to share the lot which awaits Christ’s People in the realms of Light.

13 Ceinec deliuratu baiquaitu ilhumbearen botheretic eta eraman bere Seme maitearen resumara.

For God has rescued us from the tyranny of Darkness, and has removed us into the Kingdom of his Son, who is the embodiment of his love,

14 Ceinetan baitugu redemptionea haren odolaz, baita, bekatuén barkamendua.

and through whom we have found deliverance in the forgiveness of our sins.

15 Cein baita Iainco inuisiblearen imaginá, gauça creatu guciac baino lehen iayoa.

For Christ is the very incarnation of the invisible God — First-born and Head of all creation;

16 Ecen hartan creatu içan dirade ceruètan eta lurrean diraden gauça guciac, visibleac eta inuisibleac, nahiz-biz Thronoac, nahiz Dominationeac, nahiz Principaltassunac, nahiz Puissançác, gauça guciac, diot, harçaz eta harengatic, creatu içan dirade.

for in him was created all that is in Heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible — Angels and Archangels and all the Powers of Heaven.

17 Eta bera gauça guciac baino lehen da, eta gauça guciac harçaz consistitzen dirade.

All has been created through him and for him. He was before all things, and all things unite in him;

18 Eta hura da Eliça gorputzaren buruä, eta hatsea, eta hiletarico lehen iayoa: gauça gucietan lehen lekua eduqui deçançát.

and he is the Head of the Church, which is his Body. The First-born from the dead, he is to the Church the Source of its Life, that he, in all things, may stand first.

19 Ecen Aitáren placer ona içan da complimendu gucia hartan habita ledin:

For it pleased the Father that in him the divine nature in all its fulness should dwell,

20 Eta harçaz reconcilia litzan gauça guciac beregana, pacificaturic haren crutzeco odolaz hambat ceruän nola lurrean diraden gauçác.

and through him to reconcile all things to himself (making peace by the shedding of Christ’s blood offered upon the cross) — whether on earth or in Heaven.

21 Eta çuec noizpait harenganic vrrunduac eta etsay cinetelaric, pensamenduz obra gaichtotan:

And it pleased God that you, once estranged from him and hostile towards him in your thoughts, intent only on wickedness —

22 Badaric-ere orain reconciliatu çaituzte bere haraguiaren gorputzean, herioaz: çuec eguin cintzatençát saindu, eta atchaquio gabe eta irreprehensible bere aitzinean:

But now he has reconciled you to himself by the sacrifice of Christ’s earthly body in death — it has pleased God that you should stand in his presence holy, pure, and blameless,

23 Bay baldin egoiten baçarete fedean fundatuac eta fermu, eta erautzen ezpaçarete ençun vkan duçuen Euangelioco sperançatic, cein Euangelio ceruären azpico creatura ororen artean predicatu içan baita, ceinetaco ministre ni Paul eguin içan bainaiz:

if only you remain true to your Faith, firm and immovable, never abandoning the hope held out in the Good News to which you listened, which has been proclaimed among all created things under Heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

24 Orain alegueratzen naiz çuengatic suffritzen ditudan gaucéz, eta Christen afflictionén gaineracoac complitzen ditut neure haraguian, haren gorputzagatic, cein baita Eliçá.

Now at last I can rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf, and in my own person I supplement the afflictions endured by the Christ, for the sake of his Body, the Church;

25 Ceinetaco ministre eguin içan bainaiz, Iaincoaren dispensationez, cein eman içan baitzait çuec baithara, Iaincoaren hitzaren complitzeco:

of which I myself became a minister in virtue of the office with which God entrusted me for your benefit, to declare the Message of God in all its fulness —

26 Cein baita, secula eta adin guciéz gueroztic estaliric egon içan den mysterioa, baina orain manifestatu içan çaye haren sainduey. (aiōn g165)

That Truth which has been hidden from former ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to God’s People, (aiōn g165)

27 Ceiney Iaincoac eçagut eraci nahi vkan baitraue, ceric den mysterio hunetaco gloriaren abrastassuna Gentilén artean, cein baita Christ çuetan, gloriazco sperançá:

to whom it was his pleasure to make known the surpassing glory of that hidden Truth when proclaimed among the Gentiles — ‘Christ among you! Your Hope of glory!’

28 Cein guc predicatzen baitugu, admonestatzen dugularic guiçon gucia, eta iracasten dugularic guiçon gucia sapientia orotan: guiçon gucia perfect eguin deçagunçát Iesus Christ Iaunean.

This is the Christ whom we proclaim, warning every one, and instructing every one, with all the wisdom that we possess, in the hope of bringing every one into God’s presence perfected by union with Christ.

29 Hartacotzat trabaillatzen-ere naiz, combatitzen naicela haren operatione nitan botheretsuqui obratzen duenaren araura.

It is for that I toil, struggling with all the energy which he inspires and which works powerfully within me.
