ܩܘܠ̈ܣܝܐ 1

1 ܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܐܚܐ

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy my brother, —

2 ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܩܘܠܤܘܤ ܐܚܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ

Unto the holy and faithful brethren in Christ that are, in Colosse, favour unto you, and peace, from our God and Father.

3 ܡܘܕܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܘܡܨܠܝܢܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ

We are giving thanks unto God, the Father of our Lord Jesus [Christ], always, for you, offering prayer, —

4 ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܫܡܥܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ

Having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which ye have unto all the saints, —

5 ܡܛܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܢܛܝܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܕܤܒܪܬܐ

Because of the hope that is lying by for you in the heavens, of which ye heard before, in the word of the truth of the glad-message,

6 ܗܝ ܕܐܬܟܪܙܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܪܒܝܐ ܘܝܗܒܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܬܘܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ

When it presented itself unto you; even as, in all the world also, it is bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day when ye heard, and came personally to know the favour of God in truth,

7 ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܝܠܦܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܦܦܪܐ ܟܢܬܢ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܕܗܘ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ

Even as ye learned [it] from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is faithful in our behalf, as a minister of the Christ,

8 ܘܗܘ ܐܘܕܥܢ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܒܪܘܚܐ

Who also hath made evident unto us your love in spirit.

9 ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܢ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܢܢ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܫܐܠ ܕܬܬܡܠܘܢ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠ ܚܟܡܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܤܘܟܠ ܕܪܘܚ

For this cause, we also, from the day when we heard [of you], cease not, in your behalf, praying and asking—that ye may be filled unto the personal knowledge of his will, in all spiritual wisdom and discernment,

10 ܕܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܙܕܩ ܘܬܫܦܪܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܛܒܝܢ ܘܬܬܠܘܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܘܬܪܒܘܢ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ

So as to walk worthily of the Lord, unto all pleasing, in every good work, bearing fruit, and growing in the personal knowledge of God,

11 ܘܒܟܠ ܚܝܠ ܬܬܚܝܠܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܒܟܠ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘ ܘܒܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚ ܘܒܚܕܘܬܐ

With all power, being empowered, according to the grasp of his glory, unto all endurance and long-suffering with joy,

12 ܬܘܕܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܐܫܘܝܢ ܠܡܢܬܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ

Giving thanks unto the Father that hath made you sufficient for your share in the inheritance of the saints in the light,

13 ܘܦܪܩܢ ܡܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܗ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܚܒܝܒܐ

Who hath rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

14 ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܘܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚܛܗܐ

In whom, we have our redemption—the remission of our sins, —

15 ܗܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܘܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܪܝܬܐ

Who, is an image of the unseen God, Firstborn of all creation, —

16 ܘܒܗ ܐܬܒܪܝ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܟܠ ܕܡܬܚܙܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܐܢ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܘܐܢ ܡܪܘܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܪܟܘܤ ܘܐܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܒܗ ܐܬܒܪܝ

Because, in him, were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the things seen and the things unseen, whether thrones or lordships or principalities or authorities, —they all, through him and for him, have been created,

17 ܘܗܘܝܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܒܗ ܩܐܡ

And, he, is before all, and, they all, in him, hold together;

18 ܘܗܘܝܘ ܪܫܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܪܫܐ ܘܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝ ܒܟܠ

And, he, is the head of the body, the assembly, Who is the beginning, Firstborn from among the dead, in order that, he, might become, in all things, himself, pre-eminent; —

19 ܕܒܗ ܗܘ ܨܒܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܘܠܝܐ ܠܡܥܡܪ

Because, in him, was all the fullness well pleased to dwell,

20 ܘܒܐܝܕܗ ܠܡܪܥܝܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܘܫܝܢ ܒܕܡܐ ܕܙܩܝܦܗ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܢ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ

And, through him, fully to reconcile all things unto him, making peace through the blood of his cross, —[through him]—whether the things upon the earth or the things in the heavens;

21 ܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܘܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܒܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܫܝܢܟܘܢ ܗܫܐ

And, you, who at one time were estranged and enemies in your mind in your wicked works, yet, now, hath he fully reconciled,

22 ܒܦܓܪܐ ܕܒܤܪܗ ܘܒܡܘܬܗ ܕܢܩܝܡܟܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܡ ܘܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ

In his body of flesh, through means of his death, to present you holy and blameless and unaccusable before him, —

23 ܐܢ ܬܩܘܘܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܫܬܐܤܬܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܐܬܟܪܙ ܒܟܠܗ ܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܫܡܫܢܗ

If, at least, ye are abiding still in the faith, founded and firm, and not to be moved away from the hope of the glad-message which ye have heard, which hath been proclaimed in all creation which is under heaven, —of which, I Paul, have become minister.

24 ܘܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܚܫܐ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܡܡܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܤܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܘܗܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܒܤܪܝ ܚܠܦ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܕܬܐ

Now, am I rejoicing in the sufferings on your behalf, and am filling up the things that lack of the tribulations of the Christ, in my flesh, in behalf of his body, which is the assembly,

25 ܗܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܫܡܫܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܐܫܡܠܐ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ

Of which, I, have become minister—according to the administration of God which hath been given unto me to you-ward, to fill up the word of God,

26 ܐܪܙܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܟܤܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܪܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܓܠܝ ܠܩܕܝܫܘܗܝ (aiōn g165)

The sacred secret which had been hidden away from the ages and from the generations, but, now, hath been made manifest unto his saints— (aiōn g165)

27 ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܘܕܥ ܡܢܘ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܪܙܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܟܘܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܢ

Unto whom God hath been pleased to make known what is the glorious wealth of this sacred secret among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, —

28 ܗܘ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܟܪܙܝܢܢ ܘܡܠܦܝܢܢ ܘܡܤܟܠܝܢܢ ܠܟܠ ܒܪܢܫ ܒܟܠ ܚܟܡܐ ܕܢܩܝܡ ܠܟܠ ܒܪܢܫ ܟܕ ܓܡܝܪ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

Whom we are declaring, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man complete in Christ;

29 ܒܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܦ ܥܡܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܬܟܬܫ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܥܕܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܕܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܝ

Unto which I am even toiling, contending according to his energy which is energising itself in me with power.
