Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Khawsa ngaihnaak amyihna Jesu Khrih a ceityih na ak awm Paul ingkaw nangmih a naa Timote ing,
2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Kolosa khaw awhkaw Khrih awh ypawm na ak awm koeinaa thlakciimkhqi venawh: Nangmih Pa Khawsa awhkaw qeennaak ingkaw ngaihqepnaak awm seh nyng.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Nangmih Bawipa Jesu Khrih a Pa Khawsa venawh, nangmih aham ka mik cykcah awh, zeelnaak awi kqawn poepa unyng,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
Jesu Khrih awh nangmih ak cangnaak ingkaw thlakciimkhqi nami lungnaak ce ka ming zaak ak camawh,
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News
ngaih-unaak awhkawng ak thoeng law cangnaak ingkaw lungnaak ce khawk khan na nangmih aham cun ce na awm hawh hy, ve akawng ve awitak awhkawng nangmih ing za hawh uhyk ti, awithang leek ce nangmih a venna law hawh hy.
6 which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
Ce ak awi ce nangmih ing za u tiksaw Khawsam qeennaak ingkaw awitak ce naming zaksim coengawh kawng nangmih anglakawh bi a bi lawt amyihna khawmdek pum awh ve awithang leek ve ak thaih qah nawh hqam hqui hy.
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
Ve akawng ve tyihzawih pyi, kaimih ang zyng awh ypawm na Khrih bi ak bi Epaphra a ven awhkawng sim uhyk ti,
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
anih ing Myihla awh nangmih ing lungnaak nami taak awm ka mi venna kqawn law hy.
9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, do not cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Vawh, nangmih a thang ka ming zaak cyk awhkawng, nangmih aham cykcahnaak a boet kaana ta unyng. Amah ak kawngaih saithainaak ingkaw myihla ben cyihnaak boeih boeih ingkaw zaksimnaak boeih boeih ing nami benaak thai aham Khawsa venawh thoeh law nyng.
10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,
Bawipa ak kawngaih na hqing unawh ik-oeih soepkep awh amah ak kawzeelnaak nami sainaak aham cykcah nyng: ik-oeih soepkep awh ak thaih leek nami qah coengawh Khawsa simnaak benawh nami hqamnaak thai aham,
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
yh thainaak ingkaw kawdungnaak nami taaknaak thai aham, amah boeimang thaawmnaak boeih ing tha awm sak na awm uhyk ti, zeel doena
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
Pa a venawh zeel awi namik kqawnnaak thai aham, anih ing thlakciimkhqi ingkaw vangnaak qam khuiawh qo pang haih aham nangmih ce ni sai khqi hawh hy,
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
kawtih amah than uknaak khui awhkawng ni hul khqi nawh a lungnaak a Capa qam khuina ni khyn khqi hawh hy,
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
anih awh ce nangmih ing hulnaak, thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak ce ni ta uhy.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Anih taw huh thai na amak awm Khawsa myi, ik-oeih sai boeih boeih ak khanawh ak thang cyk na awm hy.
16 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.
Anih ak caming ik-oeih boeih boeih ve syn na awm hy: khan ing dek awhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih, huh thai ingkaw am huh thai boeih, ngawihdoelh sang ingkaw thaawmnaakkhqi, uknaakkhqi ingkaw saithainaakkhqi; a soep ik-oeih boeih ve amah ing amah aham sai hy.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
Ik-oeih boeih a awm hlanawh anih taw awm hawh hy, anih awh ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce cun boeih hy.
18 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.
Amah taw pum, thlangboel a lu na awm hy; ik-oeih soepkep a baunaak ak sang soeih na a awm thainaak aham, a kung ak kqannaak ingkaw thlakthi anglakawhkawng ak thang lamma na awm hy.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
Anih awh a soepnaak ce Khawsa ak kaw zeelnaak na awm hy,
20 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.
amah ak caming a soep hoei, khawmdek khanawh ak awm ingkaw khanna ak awm boeih ce, thinglam awhkawng ak lawng law a thi ingkaw qoepnaak a sainaak ak caming qoepqui sak na ce awm hy.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
Khawsa ing pek qu hawh u tiksaw nami khawboe a seet a dawngawh kawlung awh qaal na awm hawh uhyk ti.
22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
Cehlai tuh taw a haiawh a ma amak awm coet amak kap thlakciim na ani peek naak khqi thai ham, Khrih a pum a thihnaak ak caming nangmih ing tuqunaak ce sai hawh hy -
23 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.
cangnaak awh nami awm poe awhtaw, ak cak cana dyi unawh, awithang leek awhkaw ngaih-unaak ce koeh thoeih taak uh. Ve awithang leek ve nangmih ing za u tiksaw khawnghi ak kaiawh ak awm a sai ik-oeih boeih a venawh khypyi na awm hy, ve a dawngawh ni kai Paul awm tyihzawih na ka awm.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
Tuh nangmih aham ka khuikhanaak awh ve zeel nyng, Khrih a khuikhanaak tika nataw ka pumsa awh ve be sak nyng; vetaw amah a pumna ak awm thlangboel aham nani.
25 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,
Khawsa ing ani tyihnaak amyihna nangmih a venawh Khawsak awi ak soepna khypyi aham kai taw tyihzawih na awm nyng –
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages (aiōn g165) and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,
cawhkaw awihyp kum khawqyt ingkaw cadil ceqyt thuh na ak awm ce, tuh awhtaw thlakciimkhqi venawh dang hawh hy. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Cekkhqi venawh Khawsa ing vawhkaw a boeimang awihyp ve Gentelkhqi venawh kqawn aham tyi hawh hy, ce ik-oeih cetaw boeimangnaak ngaih-u na ak awm nangmih ak khui awhkaw khqi ceni.
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
Kaimih ing anih akawng ce khypyi unyng, toel unyng thlang boeih ce Khrih awh a soepnaak thai aham cyihnaak boeih ing cawngpyi unyng.
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
Ce ak bi hamna Khrih ak thamahnaak hawnaak ing bibi poepa nyng, cawhkaw thaawmnaak ing kai awh bibi hy.
