Colossae 1
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 Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the 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 in Colossae, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3 Pacl nukewa kut sang kulo nu sin God, Papa tumun Leum lasr Jesus Christ, ke kut pre keiwos.
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying 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 that [is] to 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 that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of 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 is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye 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.
as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ,
8 El srumun nu sesr ke lungse su Ngun asot nu suwos.
who also did declare 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.
Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual 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.
to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to 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
in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering 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 did make us meet for the participation of 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 did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate [us] into the reign 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 the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the 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, first-born of 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.
because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,
17 Christ el nuna oasr meet liki orekla ma nukewa, ac ma nukewa oakwuki wo in acn se ke sripal.
and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.
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.
And himself is the head of the body — the assembly — who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all [things] — himself — first,
19 God El sifacna sulela in akkalemye ouiyal sifacna ac ma pwaye nukewa kacl in Wen natul.
because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,
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 the all things to himself — having made peace through the blood of his cross — through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
21 Meet kowos muta loesla liki God, ac kowos mwet lokoalok lal ke sripen orekma koluk ac nunak koluk lowos.
And you — once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,
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.
in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,
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 also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that [is] under the heaven, of which I became — I Paul — a ministrant.
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.
I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,
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 — I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil 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 secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested 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 whom God did will to make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations — which is Christ in you, the hope of the 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, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man 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 also I labour, striving according to his working that is working in me in power.
