< Colossians 1 >

1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the will of God, and from our brother Timothy.
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ.
2 To the believers and trusting Christians at Colossae: may you have grace and peace from God our Father.

3 We are always thankful to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for you, and pray for you.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ
4 We've heard about your trust in Christ Jesus and your love for all the believers
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
5 because of the hope prepared for you in heaven. You already heard about this in the good news, the message of truth
ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲕⲏ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
6 that came to you just as it has gone throughout the whole world, spreading widely and bringing results. It's done the same for you too, ever since you heard it and realized the true nature of God's grace.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉϥϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲓⲛⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉ.
7 Our dear friend and fellow-worker Epaphras, who is a trustworthy minister of Christ on our behalf, taught you about this.
ⲍ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲁⲫⲣⲁ ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
8 He's also made clear to us your love in the Spirit.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅·
9 Because of this we continue to pray for you from the time we heard about you, asking God to give you understanding of what he wants you to do and to give you every kind of spiritual wisdom and understanding.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϫⲓⲛⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ.
10 That way you'll live lives that rightly represent the Lord and please him, producing all kinds of good results and gaining greater knowledge of God.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
11 May you be made powerfully strong by his wonderful strength, having great patience and endurance.

12 May you happily praise the Father, who has made it possible for us to share in the inheritance of God's people who live in the light.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲉⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
13 He rescued us from the tyranny of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲉⲁϥⲡⲉⲛⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ.
14 through whom we have been set free and our sins forgiven.

15 The Son is the visible picture of the invisible God. He was before all creation,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲑⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲡⲓⲁⲧⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲡϣⲣⲡ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ.
16 for everything was created through him—in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, empires, rulers, leaders and authorities—everything was created through him and for him.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥⲛⲧ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅. ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲏ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
17 He existed before everything, and he holds everything together.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲩϩⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ.
18 He is also the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the first and highest of those raised from the dead, so that he is supreme in everything.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲡϣⲣⲡ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
19 God was pleased to have his full nature live in him,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
20 and through him brought back everything in the universe to himself, since he made peace through the blood of his cross, through him reconciling all those on the earth and in heaven.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲉϩⲉⲧⲡ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲉⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥ̅xⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲩⲉ.
21 You once were alienated from God, enemies in the way you thought and the way you acted,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲙ̅ⲙⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϫⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ.
22 but now he has reconciled you through his dying human body, bringing you into his presence where you stand holy, pure, and faultless.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϩⲉⲧⲡ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ. ⲉⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅. ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
23 But your trust in him must continue rock-solid and immovable. Don't be shaken from the hope of the good news that you heard, the good news that's been shared throughout the world—that's the work that I Paul have been doing.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲉⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ. ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲧⲙⲉϥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲡⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲏⲣⲩⲝ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ.
24 I'm happy to have trouble for your sake, for by means of what happens to me physically I'm part of Christ's sufferings that he continues to experience for the sake of his body, the church.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲙ̅ⲕⲟⲟϩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲛⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅. ϩⲁⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
25 I serve the church following the direction God gave me about you, to present fully the word of God to you.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲟⲥ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲧⲣⲁϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
26 This is the mystery that was hidden down through the ages and for many generations, but it's now been revealed to God's people. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲑⲏⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. (aiōn g165)
27 God wanted to make known to them the glorious wealth of this mystery to the nations: Christ living in you is the glorious hope!
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ.
28 We're telling everyone about him, instructing and teaching them in the best way we know how so that we can bring everyone before God fully mature in Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲉⲛϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲡⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲓⲟⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
29 That's what I'm working for too, making every effort as I rely on his strength which is powerfully at work in me.
