²i watmaten yellan di temdint n Kulus, wid iteddun s ṣṣfa deg webrid n Lmasiḥ. Ṛṛeḥma ț-țalwit a wen-d-țțunefkent s ɣuṛ Ṛebbi Baba-tneɣ !

²to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ which [are] in Colosse. Grace to you and peace from God our Father [and Lord Jesus Christ].

³Nețḥemmid Sidi Ṛebbi Baba-s n Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ yerna ndeɛɛu fell-awen ;

³We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ continually [when] praying for you,

⁴axaṭer nesla s liman i tesɛam di Ɛisa Lmasiḥ d wamek i tḥemmlem agdud n Sidi Ṛebbi,

⁴having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which ye have towards all the saints,

⁵ɣef ddemma n usirem i wen-ițțuheggan deg igenwan, asirem nni i wen-d-ițțuxebbṛen s wawal n tideț n lexbaṛ n lxiṛ.

⁵on account of the hope which [is] laid up for you in the heavens; of which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the glad tidings,

⁶Lexbeṛ-agi n lxiṛ yewḍen armi d ɣuṛ-wen, yețnerni di ddunit meṛṛa ; akken daɣen i gețnerni deg-wen ula d kunwi seg wasmi i teslam yerna tessnem tideț ɣef ṛṛeḥma n Sidi Ṛebbi,

⁶which are come to you, as [they are] in all the world, [and] are bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day ye heard [them] and knew indeed the grace of God, in truth:

⁷akken i wen-ț-isselmed Ibafras, aṛfiq-nneɣ eɛzizen di leqdic ; nețța iqeddcen ɣef Lmasiḥ s wul yeṣfan,

⁷even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-bondman, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,

⁸ixebbeṛ-aɣ-ed ɣef leḥmala s wayes i kkun-yeččuṛ Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.

⁸who has also manifested to us your love in [the] Spirit.

⁹Daymi nezga ndeɛɛu fell-awen ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi seg wasmi nesla yis-wen, nessutur-as a wen-d-yefk amek ara tissinem akken ilaq lebɣi ines, s lɛeqliya d lefhama i d-ițțak Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.

⁹For this reason *we* also, from the day we heard [of your faith and love], do not cease praying and asking for you, to the end that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

¹⁰S wakka, aț-țleḥḥum s tikli yebɣa Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken a s tɛeǧbem di kullec, a d-tefkem lfakya yelhan, yerna aț-țnernim di tmusni n Sidi Ṛebbi,

¹⁰[so as] to walk worthily of the Lord unto all well-pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing by the true knowledge of God;

¹¹Ndeɛɛu ɣer Ṛebbi akken a kkun-isseǧhed s tezmert-is tameqqrant iwakken aț-tṣebṛem i kullec alamma ț-țaggara.

¹¹strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory unto all endurance and longsuffering with joy;

¹²Ḥemmdet, cekkṛet s lfeṛḥ Sidi Ṛebbi Baba-tneɣ i wen-d-yefkan amur di lweṛt i d-ihegga i warraw n tafat.

¹²giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light,

¹³Ikkes-aɣ-d si tezmert n ṭṭlam, iwakken a ɣ-yessiweḍ ɣer tgelda n Mmi-s eɛzizen,

¹³who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

¹⁴s wayes nețwasellek yerna nesɛa leɛfu n ddnubat-nneɣ.

¹⁴in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;

¹⁵Lmasiḥ, d ṣṣifa n Sidi Ṛebbi ur nezmir a nwali, d nețța i d amezwaru n txelqit meṛṛa.

¹⁵who is image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation;

¹⁶Yis i gețwaxleq wayen nețwali d wayen ur nețwali ara ama deg igenwan ama di lqaɛa, tigeldiwin d igelliden, lḥekmat akk-d tezmar yellan deg igenwan ; kullec yețwaxleq yis, kullec yețwaxleq i nețța.

¹⁶because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.

¹⁷Yella-d uqbel a d-yețwaxleq kra yellan, d nețța i d lsas n txelqit,

¹⁷And *he* is before all, and all things subsist together by him.

¹⁸d aqeṛṛuy n tejmaɛt n imasiḥiyen yellan d lǧețța-s. Yella si tazwara, d nețța i d amenzu i d-iḥyan si ger lmegtin iwakken ad yili d amezwaru di kullec.

¹⁸And *he* is the head of the body, the assembly; who is [the] beginning, firstborn from among the dead, that *he* might have the first place in all things:

¹⁹Axaṭer Sidi Ṛebbi yufa lfeṛḥ-is s lekmal di Mmi-s,

¹⁹for in him all the fulness [of the Godhead] was pleased to dwell,

²⁰s Lmasiḥ i gemṣalaḥ akk-d txelqit, yessers-ed lehna ama di lqaɛa ama deg igenwan s idammen n Mmi-s yuzzlen ɣef wumidag.

²⁰and by him to reconcile all things to itself, having made peace by the blood of his cross -- by him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.

²¹Kunwi yellan zik-nni d ibeṛṛaniyen, d iɛdawen n Sidi Ṛebbi s ixemmimen-nwen d yir lecɣal nwen

²¹And you, who once were alienated and enemies in mind by wicked works, yet now has it reconciled

²²Tura issemṣaleḥ-ikkun yid-es s lmut n Mmi-s iwakken a d-tbanem zdat-es teṣfam, mbla lɛib.

²²in the body of his flesh through death; to present you holy and unblamable and irreproachable before it,

²³Ma yella teṭṭfem di liman-nwen s tideț, ma yella tbeddem, tṛeṣṣam. Ɣuṛ-wat aț-țțwexxṛem ɣef wusirem i wen-d-yewwi lexbaṛ n lxiṛ iwumi teslam, lexbaṛ-agi n lxiṛ i gețțubeccṛen i yemdanen n ddunit meṛṛa, i ɣef uɣaleɣ nekk d aqeddac.

²³if indeed ye abide in the faith founded and firm, and not moved away from the hope of the glad tidings, which ye have heard, which have been proclaimed in the whole creation which [is] under heaven, of which *I* Paul became minister.

²⁴Tura feṛḥeɣ aṭas imi nɛețțabeɣ fell-awen, axaṭer țkemmileɣ ayen ixuṣṣen i leɛtab n Lmasiḥ ɣef ddemma n imasiḥiyen meṛṛa, yellan d lǧețța-s, i ɣef uɣaleɣ d aqeddac.

²⁴Now, I rejoice in sufferings for you, and I fill up that which is behind of the tribulations of Christ in my flesh, for his body, which is the assembly;

²⁵Iceggeɛ-iyi-d Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken a wen-d-beccṛeɣ awal-is s lekmal.

²⁵of which *I* became minister, according to the dispensation of God which [is] given me towards you to complete the word of God,

²⁶Lbaḍna yeffren si zik, si lǧil ɣer lǧil, ibeggen-iț-id tura i wid yellan d ayla-s.

²⁶the mystery which [has been] hidden from ages and from generations, but has now been made manifest to his saints;

²⁷Yebɣa a d-yesken ccan n lbaḍna agi ifazen i leǧnas nniḍen ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail, iwakken ad walin Lmasiḥ deg-wen, nețța yellan d lsas n lɛaḍima i ɣer nessaram.

²⁷to whom God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you the hope of glory:

²⁸D Lmasiḥ agi i nețbecciṛ i yemdanen, nețweṣṣi-ten, nesselmad iten s tmusni d leɛqel, iwakken yal amdan ad innekmal di Lmasiḥ zdat Sidi Ṛebbi.

²⁸whom *we* announce, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, to the end that we may present every man perfect in Christ.

²⁹Ɣef wayagi i qeddceɣ s tezmert n Lmasiḥ yellan deg-i.

²⁹Whereunto also I toil, combating according to his working, which works in me in power.
