who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 Acuna cakpaa phäh üng mi mkhyekate naküt jah mhlät se lätlangnak mi yahkie.
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
17 Khritaw cun anaküt am a mhnünceng ham üngkhyüh a na ve päng lü, anaküt cun pi ani am atänga awmki he.
He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 Mhnama ning naküt a cakpa üng a kümbe cun Pamhnam amäta mkhyaha kyaki.
For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
20 Acun käna khawmdeknu hin a Cakpa üngkhyüh amäta veia a lawpüi be vaia Pamhnam naw ngja hlüki. Pamhnam naw kutlamktung üng thiki a Cakpaa thisen üngkhyüh ng’yenak pawh päng lü khawmdek ja khankhaw üng veki naküt pi amäta veia a lawpüi be.
and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
21 Ahlana nami bilawh ja nami cungngaih am daw se Pamhnam üng thuk lü a yea nami kya khawikie.
You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
22 Acunsepi atuh ta, Pamhnam naw a cakpaa thihnaka phäh üng a ning jah ng’yäppüi be hin, ngcimngcaih lü mkatei vai käh ve ti khaia amäta veia a ning jah lawpüi be ni.
yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
23 Nami jumeinak ngkhäng lü nami leh ngkhän cäm se. Thangkdaw nami ngjak üng nami yaha äpeinak käh thäihngnawn ta kawm uki. Khawmdek khyang naküt üng ami mtheha hina thangkdawa phäh ni kei Pawluh pi mpyaa ka thawn law.
if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
24 Nangmia phäh khuikhanak ka khamei hin jekyai veng. Khritaw naw a pumsa sangcima nghngün üng a khamei mcawt a kümceinak vaia kei naw ka pumsa am ka khameipüiki.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Messiah in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
25 Khawkphyüm üngkhyüh tuh vei cäpa thupviha kya kyaw lüpi, tuhngawi üng ta a khyange üng jah mdana hlüngtaikia Pamhnama thangkdaw cun avana sang khaia, ahin khut a na pet hin nangmia dawnak vaia, kei cun Pamhnam naw sangcima mpyaa a na thawnsak ni. (aiōn g165)
of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,
the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his holy ones, (aiōn g165)
27 Mhnama ngjak hlü cun a khyangea phäha ngthup lü hlüngtainak ja bawimangnak cun a khyangea veia a jah mdan hlüa kyaki. Acuna khawh ngthup cun nami k’uma veki hlüngtaiki Khritaw ni. Acuna mawngma ta Pamhnama hlüngtainak nami yah hngaki tinak ni.
to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory.
28 Acunakyase, Khritawa ngthu khyang naküt üng kami jah mthehki. Pungngyam mjüküm am jah mcuhmcäi lü khyang naküt Pamhnama maa Khritaw üng yümmat lü xüxamkia kba ami kya law vaia, khyang naküt kami jah mtheimthangkie ni.
We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Messiah Yeshua;
29 Ahin ka kpäng vaia, ka k’uma khüiki Khritaw naw a na peta ngjuktha am mthui lü ka khüiki.
for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
