1 Sel Paul, sie mwet sap lun Christ Jesus ke sripen oakwuk lun God, oayapa sel Timothy, mwet wiasr in lulalfongi —
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 Nu sin mwet lun God in acn Colossae, mwet wiasr su oaru in fahsr tukun Christ: Lela tuh God Papa tumasr Elan asot kulang ac misla nu suwos.
to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
3 Pacl nukewa kut sang kulo nu sin God, Papa tumun Leum lasr Jesus Christ, ke kut pre keiwos.
We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Tuh kut lohng tari ke lulalfongi lowos in Christ Jesus, ac ke lungse lowos nu sin mwet lun God nukewa.
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
5 Ke kowos tufahna lohng kas pwaye ke Pweng Wo uh, kowos lohng ke finsrak se ma pweng se inge asot nu suwos. Ouinge lulalfongi ac lungse lowos uh oakwuki fin ma su kowos finsrak kac, su oan soanekowos inkusrao.
because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of truth, the Good News,
6 Pweng wo uh tiana tui in ase mwe insewowo ac el fahsrelik nu fin faclu nufon, oana ma sikyak inmasrlowos, mutawauk ke len se emeet kowos tufahna lohng ke lungkulang lun God, ac mutawauk in kalem ke pwayeiya uh.
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;
7 Kowos tuh lohng ke lungkulang lun God uh sel Epaphras, mwet kulansap kulo wiasr, su sie mwet orekma oaru lun Christ in aol kut inmasrlowos.
even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,
8 El srumun nu sesr ke lungse su Ngun asot nu suwos.
who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 Ke sripa se inge, ke pacl se kut tufahna lohng keiwos nwe misenge kut pre na keiwos, ac siyuk God Elan oru tuh kowos in arulana kalem ke ma lungse lal, ke etauk ac lalmwetmet nukewa su Ngun lal uh ase.
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,
10 Na kowos fah ku in moul fal nu ke ma lungse lun Leum, ac oru ma su akinsewowoyal pacl nukewa. Moul lowos uh ac ku in oswe kain orekma wo nukewa, ac kowos fah kapkapak in etauk lowos ke God.
that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Lela God Elan akkeye kowos ke ku wolana lal, tuh kowos fah ku in mutangla ma nukewa ke mongfisrasr, ac kowos in engan
strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;
12 ac sang kulo nu sin Papa, su oru tuh kut in fal in wi ipeis ke ma su El akoela nu sin mwet lal in tokosrai lun kalem.
giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;
13 El molikutla liki ku lun lohsr uh, ac uskutme nu in tokosrai lun Wen kulo natul.
who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 Ke sripal kut aksukosokyeyukla, su kalmeya pa God El nunak munas nu sesr ke ma koluk lasr.
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins;
15 Christ el oana luman God, su kut tia ku in liye, ac el pa Wounse, su fulat liki ma orekla nukewa.
who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 Tuh ke el, God El orala ma nukewa inkusrao ac fin faclu, ma liyeyuk ac ma tia ku in liyeyuk, weang pac ku lun ngun inge nukewa: leum, ac mwet kol, ac wal fulat ma oan yen engyeng uh. God El orala ma nukewa inkusrao, fin faclu, ac yen engyeng uh kacl ac nu sel.
For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things have been created by him and for him.
17 Christ el nuna oasr meet liki orekla ma nukewa, ac ma nukewa oakwuki wo in acn se ke sripal.
He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
18 El pa sifen church, su pa manol, ac el pa sang kuiyen moul nu ke mano. El pa Wounse, su akmoulyeyukyak liki misa, tuh in el pa oemeet in ma nukewa.
He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 God El sifacna sulela in akkalemye ouiyal sifacna ac ma pwaye nukewa kacl in Wen natul.
For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
20 Ke ma inge, God El sulela in folokoneni ma orekla nukewa nu sel sifacna ke Wen natul. God El iwekutla nu sel ke srahn Wen natul ke el misa fin sakseng, ac ouinge God El folokoneni ma nukewa nu sel sifacna, ma inkusrao lucng ac fin faclu ten.
and through him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross through him, whether things on the earth or things in heaven.
21 Meet kowos muta loesla liki God, ac kowos mwet lokoalok lal ke sripen orekma koluk ac nunak koluk lowos.
You, who once were alienated and were hostile in your minds, doing evil deeds,
22 A inge, ke sripen misa in mano lun Wen natul, God El orala kowos mwet kawuk lac lal, tuh kowos in ku in tuku nu yorol ke mutal ac nasnas ac wangin mwatuwos.
yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,
23 Kowos enenu in sruokyana moul in lulalfongi lowos fin sie pwelung na ku ac pwaye, ac tia lela in mokleyukla kowos liki finsrak se kowos eis tari ke kowos lohng Wosasu. Nga, Paul, ekla sie mwet kulansap lun Wosasu se inge — Wosasu se ma fwackyuk nu sin mwet nukewa fin faclu.
if it is so that you continue in the faith, established and firm, 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, have become a servant.
24 Ac inge nga engan ke moul in keok luk keiwos, tuh ke sripen keok lun monuk, nga wi kasru in aksafyela ma lula ke keok lun Christ su el keok kac ke sripen mano se inge, su pa church.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ for the sake of his body, which is the church;
25 God El kuneyuwi tuh nga in sie mwet kulansap lun church. El ase kunokon se inge nu sik nga in oru in kasrekowos. Kunokon se inge pa in fahkak nufon ke kas lal,
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,
26 su oana sie ma saok ma God El okanla liki fwil puspis somla, a inge El akkalemyela nu sin mwet lal. (aiōn g165)
the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints. (aiōn g165)
27 God El kena tuh mwet lal in etu ma su El tia akkalemye meet — ma su arulana saok ac wolana, su El akoo nu sin mwet nukewa. Ac pa inge ma wolana se ma tia eteyuk meet: Christ el oasr in kowos, ac kowos in arulana etu lah kowos ac wi ipeis ke wolana lun God.
To them God was pleased to make known the glorious riches of this mystery among the non-Jews, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;
28 Ouinge kut fahkak Christ nu sin mwet nukewa. In etauk nukewa su oasr yorosr, kut srike in sensenkakin ac luti nu selos tuh kut fah ku in pwanma kais sie selos nu ye mutun God, oana sie mwet matula in nunak ac ma sefanna yurin Christ.
whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ Jesus;
29 Nga orekma upa in ku in orala ma se inge, ac kwafeang in oru ma kunuk ke nga orekmakin ku lulap su Christ el ase nu sik, su orekma in nga.
for which I also labor, struggling according to his power, which works in me mightily.
