Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Ri Pablo uꞌtaqoꞌn ri Cristo Jesús rumal ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios, rachiꞌl ri alaxik Timoteo.
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.
Chike ri tyoxalaj taq kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa Colosas chuya toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril chike rech ri qatat Dios.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Kujtyoxin che ri Dios, Tataxel re ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, kaqabꞌan chꞌawem piꞌwiꞌ,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
rumal qatom ri ikojobꞌal pa Cristo Jesús, xuqujeꞌ ri iloqꞌanik chike ri kojonelabꞌ.
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
Xa rumal ri kuꞌlibꞌal ikꞌuꞌx ri yaktal pa ri kaj. Pa we kꞌulibꞌal kꞌuꞌx riꞌ, ri ix xita ri utz laj tzij re qas tzij, ri utz laj tzij
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,
ri xopan iwukꞌ. We utz laj tzij riꞌ tajin kawachinik xuqujeꞌ tajin kakꞌiyik pa ronojel ri uwachulew, je xuqujeꞌ xkꞌulmataj iwukꞌ ix pa ri qꞌij ri xito xuqujeꞌ xichꞌobꞌ ri qas tzij rech ri jeꞌl laj utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
Jetaq ri xiwetaꞌmaj rukꞌ ri Epafras, patanil re ri Cristo xuqujeꞌ toꞌl qe uj, rumal iwe.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Areꞌ xtzijon chaqe ri iloqꞌanik pa ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Are xqatabꞌej rech we riꞌ, man uj tanalinaq taj che ubꞌanik chꞌawem piꞌwiꞌ. Kaqata che ri Dios rech kubꞌano chi rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal kiwetaꞌmaj ri rayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ronojel etaꞌmanik xuqujeꞌ chꞌobꞌonik pa ri Uxlabꞌixel.
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,
Rech je kixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri karaj ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kaqaj choch ronojel ri kibꞌano. Rech kixwachinik pa ronojel ri chak ri kibꞌano, xuqujeꞌ rech kixkꞌiy pa ri etaꞌmanik rech ri Dios.
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
Kaqata che ri Dios rech kayaꞌtaj ichuqꞌabꞌ rukꞌ ri jeꞌlalaj ukwinem rech ri ujuluwem. Rech ko kixkꞌojiꞌk, kixayeꞌnik rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal,
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
kujtyoxin che ri Tataxel ri xuya bꞌe chaqe kaqakꞌamawaꞌj qechabꞌal kukꞌ ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq, pa ri ajawarem rech ri tunal.
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
Areꞌ xujresaj xeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri qꞌequꞌmal xujuqꞌaxaj pa ri ajawarem rech ri Loqꞌalaj uKꞌojol.
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
Pa Cristo xujtortaj wi, xuqujeꞌ xqakꞌamawaꞌj ri kuybꞌal qamak.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Ri Cristo are ukaꞌyebꞌal ri Dios ri man kilitaj taj. Are nim uqꞌij choch ronojel ri jastaq ri xetikik.
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.
Rumal rech areꞌ xetikitaj ronojel ri jastaq pa ri kaj xuqujeꞌ choch ri uwachulew, ri jastaq ri kiꞌlitaj uwach, xuqujeꞌ ri man kiꞌlitaj ta uwach, tꞌuyulibꞌal kech e taqanelabꞌ, kwinem, e chuqꞌabꞌ xuqujeꞌ winaq ri kabꞌan ke. Xtikitaj loq rumal areꞌ xuqujeꞌ rech areꞌ.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
Are kꞌo nabꞌe choch ronojel ri jastaq, xa rumal areꞌ e kꞌolik, are xuqujeꞌ kabꞌanowik chi kechakun ronojel.
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.
Are ri Cristo ujolom ri komontyox, areꞌ majibꞌal rech ronojel, are nabꞌyal chike konojel ri e kꞌastajinaq, rech jeriꞌ areꞌ nabꞌyal che ronojel.
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
Rumal chi xraj ri Tataxel chi pa Cristo kakꞌojiꞌ ronojel ri Dios,
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.
xuqujeꞌ rumal areꞌ xeꞌrutzirisaj ri jastaq ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew rukꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri kaj, xubꞌan jaꞌmaril chikixoꞌl, rukꞌ ri ukikꞌel ri xtixtobꞌ cho ri ripbꞌal.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
Pune ojer ix najtininaq kanoq che ri Dios rumal ri iwetzelal xuqujeꞌ ri inoꞌjibꞌal, ix bꞌanal taq itzel taq chak.
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,
Kamik kꞌut ri Dios, rukꞌ ri ukamikal ri Cristo xixrutzirisaj rech are kixujacho ixchꞌajchꞌoj, ix tyoxalaj taq winaq xuqujeꞌ xa ta ne jun makaj kariqitaj chiꞌwe are kixujach cho Areꞌ.
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.
Rech ko kixkꞌojiꞌ pa ri ikojobꞌal, man kixtzaq taj, rech man kixel ta pa ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx ri kutzuj ri utz laj tzij chiꞌwe. Are waꞌ ri utz laj tzij ri xito xuqujeꞌ ri tzijotal pa ronojel ri uwachulew xeꞌ ri kaj, are waꞌ ri tajin kintzijoj in, in Pablo.
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,
Kinkiꞌkotik are kinriq ri kꞌax pa ri nutyoꞌjal rumal iwe, xuqujeꞌ kintzꞌaqatisaj pa ri nutyoꞌjal ri kajawataj na che ri qꞌoxomal rech ri Cristo, rumal rech ri utyoꞌjal, are waꞌ ri komontyox.
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,
Rumal we komontyox riꞌ xinux patanijel rech ri Dios rumal iwe, rech kintzijoj ri utzij ri Dios.
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints, (aiōn g165)
Are kintzijoj ri awatal kan najtir ojer, qꞌij junabꞌ, kamik kꞌut xkꞌut chikiwach ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq. (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.
Chike we winaq riꞌ ri Dios xraj xukꞌut ri ujuluwem rech ri uqꞌinomal ri awatal loq chikiwach ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are waꞌ ri Cristo ri kꞌo pa iwanimaꞌ ri kuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx rech juluwem.
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
Are waꞌ ri Cristo ri kaqatzijoj chike ri winaq, keꞌqapixibꞌax, kaqakꞌut chikiwach rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal rech e tzꞌaqat keꞌqajacho pa Cristo.
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
Rumal waꞌ kinchakunik kinkoj nuchuqꞌabꞌ ri kinkꞌamawaꞌj che ri Cristo, ri kachakun pa wanimaꞌ.
