Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy my brother, —
Khawsa ngaihnaak amyihna Jesu Khrih a ceityih na ak awm Paul ingkaw nangmih a naa Timote ing,
2 Unto the holy and faithful brethren in Christ that are, in Colosse, favour unto you, and peace, from our God and Father.
Kolosa khaw awhkaw Khrih awh ypawm na ak awm koeinaa thlakciimkhqi venawh: Nangmih Pa Khawsa awhkaw qeennaak ingkaw ngaihqepnaak awm seh nyng.
3 We are giving thanks unto God, the Father of our Lord Jesus [Christ], always, for you, offering prayer, —
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 ye have unto all the saints, —
Jesu Khrih awh nangmih ak cangnaak ingkaw thlakciimkhqi nami lungnaak ce ka ming zaak ak camawh,
5 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,
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 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,
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 ye learned [it] from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is faithful in our behalf, as a minister of the Christ,
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 hath made evident unto us your love in spirit.
anih ing Myihla awh nangmih ing lungnaak nami taak awm ka mi venna kqawn law hy.
9 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,
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 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,
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 With all power, being empowered, according to the grasp of his glory, unto all endurance and long-suffering 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 unto the Father that hath made you sufficient for your share in the inheritance of the saints in the 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 hath rescued us out of the authority of the 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 remission of our sins, —
anih awh ce nangmih ing hulnaak, thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak ce ni ta uhy.
15 Who, is an image of the unseen God, 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 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,
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 And, he, is before all, and, they all, in him, hold together;
Ik-oeih boeih a awm hlanawh anih taw awm hawh hy, anih awh ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce cun boeih hy.
18 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; —
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 Because, in him, was all the fullness well pleased to dwell,
Anih awh a soepnaak ce Khawsa ak kaw zeelnaak na awm hy,
20 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;
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 And, you, who at one time were estranged and enemies in your mind in your wicked works, yet, now, hath he fully reconciled,
Khawsa ing pek qu hawh u tiksaw nami khawboe a seet a dawngawh kawlung awh qaal na awm hawh uhyk ti.
22 In his body of flesh, through means of his death, to present you holy and blameless and unaccusable 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, 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.
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, 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,
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, 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,
Khawsa ing ani tyihnaak amyihna nangmih a venawh Khawsak awi ak soepna khypyi aham kai taw tyihzawih na awm nyng –
26 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)
cawhkaw awihyp kum khawqyt ingkaw cadil ceqyt thuh na ak awm ce, tuh awhtaw thlakciimkhqi venawh dang hawh hy. (aiōn g165)
27 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, —
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 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;
Kaimih ing anih akawng ce khypyi unyng, toel unyng thlang boeih ce Khrih awh a soepnaak thai aham cyihnaak boeih ing cawngpyi unyng.
29 Unto which I am even toiling, contending according to his energy which is energising itself in me with power.
Ce ak bi hamna Khrih ak thamahnaak hawnaak ing bibi poepa nyng, cawhkaw thaawmnaak ing kai awh bibi hy.
