كُولُوسِي 1

١ 1 بُولُسُ، رَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِمَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ، وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ ٱلْأَخُ،

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God,

٢ 2 إِلَى ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي كُولُوسِّي، وَٱلْإِخْوَةِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

and Timothy our brother, to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ at Colosse: grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

٣ 3 نَشْكُرُ ٱللهَ وَأَبَا رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، مُصَلِّينَ لِأَجْلِكُمْ،

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

٤ 4 إِذْ سَمِعْنَا إِيمَانَكُمْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، وَمَحَبَّتَكُمْ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ،

(having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and your love to all the saints: )

٥ 5 مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلرَّجَاءِ ٱلْمَوْضُوعِ لَكُمْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ قَبْلًا فِي كَلِمَةِ حَقِّ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،

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

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِي قَدْ حَضَرَ إِلَيْكُمْ كَمَا فِي كُلِّ ٱلْعَالَمِ أَيْضًا، وَهُوَ مُثْمِرٌ كَمَا فِيكُمْ أَيْضًا مُنْذُ يَوْمَ سَمِعْتُمْ وَعَرَفْتُمْ نِعْمَةَ ٱللهِ بِٱلْحَقِيقَةِ.

which is come unto you, even as in all the world, and is fruitful; as it hath been also among you, from the day in which ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth.

٧ 7 كَمَا تَعَلَّمْتُمْ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَبَفْرَاسَ ٱلْعَبْدِ ٱلْحَبِيبِ مَعَنَا، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ خَادِمٌ أَمِينٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ لِأَجْلِكُمُ،

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

٨ 8 ٱلَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَيْضًا بِمَحَبَّتِكُمْ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ.

who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

٩ 9 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا، مُنْذُ يَوْمَ سَمِعْنَا، لَمْ نَزَلْ مُصَلِّينَ وَطَالِبِينَ لِأَجْلِكُمْ أَنْ تَمْتَلِئُوا مِنْ مَعْرِفَةِ مَشِيئَتِهِ، فِي كُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ رُوحِيٍّ،

For this cause we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:

١٠ 10 لِتَسْلُكُوا كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِلرَّبِّ، فِي كُلِّ رِضًى، مُثْمِرِينَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، وَنَامِينَ فِي مَعْرِفَةِ ٱللهِ،

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

١١ 11 مُتَقَوِّينَ بِكُلِّ قُوَّةٍ بِحَسَبِ قُدْرَةِ مَجْدِهِ، لِكُلِّ صَبْرٍ وَطُولِ أَنَاةٍ بِفَرَحٍ،

strengthened with all might according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;

١٢ 12 شَاكِرِينَ ٱلْآبَ ٱلَّذِي أَهَّلَنَا لِشَرِكَةِ مِيرَاثِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي ٱلنُّورِ،

giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light:

١٣ 13 ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ سُلْطَانِ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَنَقَلَنَا إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ ٱبْنِ مَحَبَّتِهِ،

who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:

١٤ 14 ٱلَّذِي لَنَا فِيهِ ٱلْفِدَاءُ، بِدَمِهِ غُفْرَانُ ٱلْخَطَايَا.

in whom we have redemption by his blood, even the remission of sins.

١٥ 15 ٱلَّذِي هُوَ صُورَةُ ٱللهِ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَنْظُورِ، بِكْرُ كُلِّ خَلِيقَةٍ.

Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of the whole creation:

١٦ 16 فَإِنَّهُ فِيهِ خُلِقَ ٱلْكُلُّ: مَا في ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، مَا يُرَى وَمَا لَا يُرَى، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ عُرُوشًا أَمْ سِيَادَاتٍ أَمْ رِيَاسَاتٍ أَمْ سَلَاطِينَ. ٱلْكُلُّ بِهِ وَلَهُ قَدْ خُلِقَ.

for by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all were created by Him, and for Him.

١٧ 17 ٱلَّذِي هُوَ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَفِيهِ يَقُومُ ٱلْكُلُّ،

He is before all, and by Him all things subsist.

١٨ 18 وَهُوَ رَأْسُ ٱلْجَسَدِ: ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ. ٱلَّذِي هُوَ ٱلْبَدَاءَةُ، بِكْرٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ هُوَ مُتَقَدِّمًا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

And He is the head of the body, which is the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence.

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّهُ فِيهِ سُرَّ أَنْ يَحِلَّ كُلُّ ٱلْمِلْءِ،

For it pleased the Father, that all fulness should dwell in Him;

٢٠ 20 وَأَنْ يُصَالِحَ بِهِ ٱلْكُلَّ لِنَفْسِهِ، عَامِلًا ٱلصُّلْحَ بِدَمِ صَلِيبِهِ، بِوَاسِطَتِهِ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ: مَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، أَمْ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; by Him only, whether they be things on earth, or things in heaven.

٢١ 21 وَأَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ قَبْلًا أَجْنَبِيِّينَ وَأَعْدَاءً فِي ٱلْفِكْرِ، فِي ٱلْأَعْمَالِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ، قَدْ صَالَحَكُمُ ٱلْآنَ

And you that were formerly alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works,

٢٢ 22 فِي جِسْمِ بَشَرِيَّتِهِ بِٱلْمَوْتِ، لِيُحْضِرَكُمْ قِدِّيسِينَ وَبِلَا لَوْمٍ وَلَا شَكْوَى أَمَامَهُ،

yet now hath He reconciled in the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and unblameable, and unreproveable in his sight:

٢٣ 23 إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ عَلَى ٱلْإِيمَانِ، مُتَأَسِّسِينَ وَرَاسِخِينَ وَغَيْرَ مُنْتَقِلِينَ عَنْ رَجَاءِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ، ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ، ٱلْمَكْرُوزِ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْخَلِيقَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، ٱلَّذِي صِرْتُ أَنَا بُولُسَ خَادِمًا لَهُ.

if so be ye continue grounded and settled in the faith, and be not moved from the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached throughout the whole creation, of which I Paul am a minister.

٢٤ 24 ٱلَّذِي ٱلْآنَ أَفْرَحُ فِي آلَامِي لِأَجْلِكُمْ، وَأُكَمِّلُ نَقَائِصَ شَدَائِدِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِي جِسْمِي لِأَجْلِ جَسَدِهِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةُ،

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up what is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for the sake of his body, which is the church.

٢٥ 25 ٱلَّتِي صِرْتُ أَنَا خَادِمًا لَهَا، حَسَبَ تَدْبِيرِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُعْطَى لِي لِأَجْلِكُمْ، لِتَتْمِيمِ كَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ.

Of which I was made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I might fully declare the word of God:

٢٦ 26 ٱلسِّرِّ ٱلْمَكْتُومِ مُنْذُ ٱلدُّهُورِ وَمُنْذُ ٱلْأَجْيَالِ، لَكِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أُظْهِرَ لِقِدِّيسِيهِ، (aiōn g165)

even that mystery which was hid from former ages and generations, but is now manifested to his saints: (aiōn g165)

٢٧ 27 ٱلَّذِينَ أَرَادَ ٱللهُ أَنْ يُعَرِّفَهُمْ مَا هُوَ غِنَى مَجْدِ هَذَا ٱلسِّرِّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ فِيكُمْ رَجَاءُ ٱلْمَجْدِ.

to whom God would make known the rich glory of this mystery, among the gentiles; which is this, that Christ is in you the hope of glory:

٢٨ 28 ٱلَّذِي نُنَادِي بِهِ مُنْذِرِينَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَمُعَلِّمِينَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، بِكُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ، لِكَيْ نُحْضِرَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ كَامِلًا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

٢٩ 29 ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي لِأَجْلِهِ أَتْعَبُ أَيْضًا مُجَاهِدًا، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي يَعْمَلُ فِيَّ بِقُوَّةٍ.

in order to which I also labour, striving earnestly according to his energy which operates in me with power.
