Colossians 1
1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, also a follower of the Lord.
Ni Pablo, maysa nga apostol ni Cristo Jesus babaen iti pagayatan ti Dios, ken ni Timoteo a kabsattayo,
2 To Christ’s people at Colossae – the followers who are faithful to him: May God, our Father, bless you and give you peace.
kadagiti namati ken napudno a kakabsat kenni Cristo nga adda iti Colosas. Adda koma kadakayo ti parabur, ken kapia manipud iti Dios nga Amatayo.
3 Whenever we pray we never fail to thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for you,
Agyamyamankami iti Dios, ti Ama ni Apotayo a Jesu-Cristo, ken kanayondakayo nga ikarkararagan.
4 now that we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all his people,
Nangngeganmi ti pammatiyo kenni Cristo Jesus ken iti panagayat nga adda kadakayo para kadagiti amin a nailasin para iti Dios.
5 because of the hope which is kept safe for you in heaven. Of this hope you heard long ago in the true message of the good news which reached you,
Adda kadakayo daytoy nga ayat gapu iti natalged a namnama a naisagana para kadakayo kadagiti langlangit. Nangngeganyo idi ti maipanggep iti daytoy a natalged a namnama iti sao ti kinapudno, ti ebanghelio,
6 bearing fruit and growing, as it does, through all the world, just as it did among you from the very day that you heard of God’s loving kindness, and understood what that loving kindness really is.
nga immay kadakayo. Agbungbunga daytoy nga ebanghelio ken dumakdakkel iti sangalubongan. Ar-aramidenna met daytoy kadakayo manipud iti aldaw a nangngegyo daytoy ken nasursuruyo ti maipanggep iti parabur ti Dios iti kinapudno.
7 It is just what you learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who, as a minister of the Christ, faithfully represents us,
Daytoy ti ebanghelio kas nasursuroyo manipud kenni Epafras, ti ipatpategmi a padami nga adipen, maysa a napudno nga adipen ni Cristo iti biangmi.
8 and who told us of the love with which the Spirit has inspired you.
Inpakaammo ni Epafras kadakami ti panagayatyo babaen iti Espiritu.
9 And therefore we, from the very day that we heard this, have never ceased praying for you, or asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of God, which comes through all true spiritual wisdom and insight.
Gapu iti daytoy nga ayat, manipud iti aldaw a nangngeganmi daytoy ket saankami a nagsardeng a mangikarkararag kadakayo. Dawdawatenmi a mapnokayo iti panakaammo iti pagayatanna iti amin a kinasirib ken naespirituan a pannakaawat.
10 Then you will live lives worthy of the Master, and so please God in every way. Your lives will be fruitful in every kind of good action, and grow into a fuller knowledge of God;
Inkarkararagmi a magnakayo a maikari iti Apo iti makaay-ayo a wagas. Inkarkararagmi nga agbungakayo iti tunggal nasayaat nga aramid ken dumakkelkayo iti pannakaammo iti Dios.
11 you will be made strong at all points with a strength worthy of the power manifested in his glory – strong to endure with patience, and even with gladness, whatever may happen to you;
Ikarkararagmi a mapapigsakayo koma iti amin a kabaelan segun iti bileg ti dayagna iti amin a kinaregget ken kinaanus.
12 and you will give thanks to the Father who made you fit to share the lot which awaits Christ’s people in the realms of light.
Ikarkararagmi a siraragsakkayo nga agyaman iti Ama, a nangted kadakayo iti karbengan a makibingay kadagiti sanikua dagiti namati iti lawag.
13 For God has rescued us from the tyranny of darkness, and has removed us into the kingdom of his Son, who is the embodiment of his love,
Inispalnatayo manipud iti panangituray ti kinasipnget ken inyakarnatayo iti pagarian ti ipatpategna nga Anak.
14 and through whom we have found deliverance in the forgiveness of our sins.
Iti Anakna ket addaantayo iti pannakasubbot, ti pannakapakawan dagiti basol.
15 For Christ is the incarnation of the invisible God – firstborn and head of all creation;
Ti Anak ti ladawan ti saan a makitkita a Dios. Isuna ti inauna nga anak kadagiti amin a parsua.
16 for in him was created all that is in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible – angels and archangels and all the powers of heaven.
Ta babaen kenkuana ket naparsua amin a banbanag, dagidiay adda iti langit ken dagidiay adda iti daga, dagiti makita ken dagiti saan a makita a banbanag. Dagiti trono man wenno kinaturay, wenno dagiti pagturayan wenno dagiti addaan iti karbengan, amin a banbanag ket pinarsuana ken para kenkuana.
17 All has been created through him and for him. He was before all things, and all things unite in him;
Adda isuna sakbay iti amin a banag, ken kenkuana, amin a banbanag ket agmaymaysa.
18 and he is the head of the church, which is his body. The firstborn from the dead, he is to the church the source of its life, that he, in all things, may stand first.
Ken isuna ti ulo ti bagi, ti iglesia. Isuna ti rugrugi ken ti inauna nga anak manipud kadagiti natay, ngarud, adda kenkuana ti kaunaan a saad kadagiti amin a banbanag.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him the divine nature in all its fulness should live,
Ta naay-ayo ti Dios a ti amin a kinaan-anayna ket agtaeng koma kenkuana,
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself (making peace by the shedding of Christ’s blood offered on the cross) – whether on earth or in heaven.
ken tapno mapasublina iti bagina dagiti amin a banbanag babaen iti Anak. Nakikapia ti Dios babaen iti dara iti krusna. Insubli ti Dios dagiti amin a banbanag kenkuana, banbanag man iti daga wenno dagiti banbanag kadagiti langlangit.
21 And it pleased God that you, once estranged from him and hostile towards him in your thoughts, intent only on wickedness –
Ken dakayo met, iti naminsan ket ganggannaet iti Dios ken kabusorna idi iti nakem ken iti dakes nga ar-aramid.
22 but now he has reconciled you to himself by the sacrifice of Christ’s earthly body in death – it has pleased God that you should stand in his presence holy, pure, and blameless,
Ngem ita ket insublinakayo babaen iti napisikalan a bagina babaen iti patay. Inaramidna daytoy tapno idatagnakayo a nasantoan, awan-pakababalawan, ken awanan basol iti sangoananna,
23 if only you remain true to your faith, firm and immovable, never abandoning the hope held out in the good news to which you listened, which has been proclaimed among all created things under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made an assistant.
no agtultuloykayo iti pammati, naipasdek ken sititibker, a saan a maikkat manipud iti natalged a namnama iti ebanghelio a nangngeganyo. Daytoy ti ebanghelio a naiwaragawag iti tunggal tao a naiparsua iti babaen iti langit. Daytoy ti ebanghelio a siak, ni Pablo, ket nagbalinak nga adipen.
24 Now at last I can rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf, and in my own person I supplement the afflictions endured by the Christ, for the sake of his body, the church;
Ita, agragrag-oak kadagiti panagsagsagabak para kadakayo. Ken punpunoek ti bagik iti pagkurangan iti rigrigat ni Cristo para iti bagina, nga isu iti iglesia.
25 of which I myself became a minister in virtue of the office with which God entrusted me for your benefit, to declare the message of God in all its fulness –
Gapu iti daytoy nga iglesia nga adipenak, segun iti pagrebbengan manipud iti Dios a naited kaniak para kadakayo, a mangpunno iti sao ti Dios.
26 that truth which has been hidden from former ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to God’s people, (aiōn g165)
Daytoy ti palimed a kinapudno a nailemmeng iti adu a tawtawen ken henerasion. Ngem ita, naiparangarangen daytoy kadagiti mamati kenkuana. (aiōn g165)
27 to whom it was his pleasure to make known the surpassing glory of that hidden truth when proclaimed among the Gentiles – “Christ among you! Your hope of glory!”
Daytoy ket para kadagiti kayat ti Dios a pangipakaammoan iti kinabaknang iti dayag daytoy a palimed a kinapudno kadagiti Hentil. Dayta ket ti kaadda ni Cristo kadakayo, ti namnama ti masakbayan a dayag.
28 This is the Christ whom we proclaim, warning everyone, and instructing everyone, with all the wisdom that we possess, in the hope of bringing everyone into God’s presence perfected by union with Christ.
Isuna daytoy nga iwarwaragawagmi. Bagbagaanmi ti tunggal tao, ken sursuroanmi ti tunggal tao iti amin a kinasirib, tapno maidatagmi ti tunggal tao a naan-anay kenni Cristo.
29 It is for that I toil, struggling with all the energy which he inspires and which works powerfully within me.
Para iti daytoy, agtrabahoak ken agreggetak segun iti pigsana nga agtrabtrabaho kaniak nga addaan iti pannakabalin.
