¹ܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܐܚܐ ܀

¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

²ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܩܘܠܤܘܤ ܐܚܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܀

²To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ܡܘܕܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܘܡܨܠܝܢܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܀

³We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

⁴ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܫܡܥܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܀

⁴Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

⁵ܡܛܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܢܛܝܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܕܤܒܪܬܐ ܀

⁵For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

⁶ܗܝ ܕܐܬܟܪܙܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܪܒܝܐ ܘܝܗܒܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܬܘܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܀

⁶Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

⁷ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܝܠܦܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܦܦܪܐ ܟܢܬܢ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܕܗܘ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁷As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

⁸ܘܗܘ ܐܘܕܥܢ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܒܪܘܚܐ ܀

⁸Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

⁹ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܢ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܢܢ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܫܐܠ ܕܬܬܡܠܘܢ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠ ܚܟܡܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܤܘܟܠ ܕܪܘܚ ܀

⁹For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

¹⁰ܕܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܙܕܩ ܘܬܫܦܪܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܛܒܝܢ ܘܬܬܠܘܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܘܬܪܒܘܢ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁰That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

¹¹ܘܒܟܠ ܚܝܠ ܬܬܚܝܠܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܒܟܠ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘ ܘܒܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚ ܘܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܀

¹¹Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

¹²ܬܘܕܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܐܫܘܝܢ ܠܡܢܬܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ ܀

¹²Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

¹³ܘܦܪܩܢ ܡܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܗ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܀

¹³Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

¹⁴ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܘܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚܛܗܐ ܀

¹⁴In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

¹⁵ܗܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܘܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܪܝܬܐ ܀

¹⁵Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

¹⁶ܘܒܗ ܐܬܒܪܝ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܟܠ ܕܡܬܚܙܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܐܢ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܘܐܢ ܡܪܘܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܪܟܘܤ ܘܐܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܒܗ ܐܬܒܪܝ ܀

¹⁶For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

¹⁷ܘܗܘܝܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܒܗ ܩܐܡ ܀

¹⁷And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

¹⁸ܘܗܘܝܘ ܪܫܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܪܫܐ ܘܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝ ܒܟܠ ܀

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁹ܕܒܗ ܗܘ ܨܒܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܘܠܝܐ ܠܡܥܡܪ ܀

¹⁹For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

²⁰ܘܒܐܝܕܗ ܠܡܪܥܝܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܘܫܝܢ ܒܕܡܐ ܕܙܩܝܦܗ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܢ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

²⁰And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

²¹ܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܘܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܒܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܫܝܢܟܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܀

²¹And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

²²ܒܦܓܪܐ ܕܒܤܪܗ ܘܒܡܘܬܗ ܕܢܩܝܡܟܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܡ ܘܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܀

²²In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

²³ܐܢ ܬܩܘܘܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܫܬܐܤܬܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܐܬܟܪܙ ܒܟܠܗ ܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܫܡܫܢܗ ܀

²³If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

²⁴ܘܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܚܫܐ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܡܡܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܤܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܘܗܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܒܤܪܝ ܚܠܦ ܦܓܪܗ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܕܬܐ ܀

²⁴Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

²⁵ܗܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܫܡܫܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܐܫܡܠܐ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁵Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

²⁶ܐܪܙܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܟܤܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܪܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܓܠܝ ܠܩܕܝܫܘܗܝ ܀

²⁶Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

²⁷ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܘܕܥ ܡܢܘ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܪܙܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܟܘܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܢ ܀

²⁷To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

²⁸ܗܘ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܟܪܙܝܢܢ ܘܡܠܦܝܢܢ ܘܡܤܟܠܝܢܢ ܠܟܠ ܒܪܢܫ ܒܟܠ ܚܟܡܐ ܕܢܩܝܡ ܠܟܠ ܒܪܢܫ ܟܕ ܓܡܝܪ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

²⁸Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

²⁹ܒܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܦ ܥܡܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܬܟܬܫ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܥܕܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܕܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܀

²⁹Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
