¹Sura toi ngkai aku' Paulus, to na'ongko' Alata'ala jadi' suro Kristus Yesus ntuku' konoa-na, pai' ngkai Timotius, ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta,

¹Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus, by God's will, and Timotheus the brother,

²kipakatu tilou hi koi' ompi' hampepangalaa' -kai to hi Kolose, to napobagia-mi Alata'ala pai' to mepangala' -mi hi Kristus. Wori' tabe: mekakae-kai hi Alata'ala Tuama-ta, kiperapi' bona nagane' -koi ngkai kabula rala-na pai' nawai' -koi kalompea' tuwu'.

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].

³Butu ngkani-na kiposampayai-koi, mpo'uli' tarima kasi oa' -kai hi Alata'ala Tuama-na Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus,

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

⁴apa' ki'epe-mi kareba to mpo'uli' kamepangala' -nimi hi Kristus Yesus pai' kama'ahi' -ni hi hawe'ea topepangala' hi Kristus Yesus.

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

⁵Mepangala' pai' ma'ahi' -koi hewa toe, apa' ncarumaka Alata'ala-mokoi, nipopea napa to natimamahi-kokoi hi suruga, hewa to ni'epe moto-mi hi rala Kareba Lompe' to raparata-kokoi. Kareba Lompe' toe, makono mpu'u-hana,

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,

⁶pai' tetolele-mi hi humalili' dunia', alaa-na kawoo-woria' -mi tauna to mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus duu' -na mpobabehi-ramo po'ingku to lompe'. Wae wo'o to jadi' hi koi' -e ompi'. Kampo'epe-ni Kareba Lompe' toe, mepangala' -mokoi hi Pue' Yesus, duu' -na ni'inca mpu'u-mi kabula rala-na Alata'ala.

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:

⁷Ni'epe Kareba Lompe' toe ngkai Epafras, doo hampobagoa-kai to kipoka'ahi'. Epafras toei, batua Kristus to tida mobago mpotulungi-koi.

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

⁸Hi'a to mpo'uli' -kakai kanipoka'ahi' -ra hawe'ea topetuku' Pue' Yesus sabana baraka' Inoha' Tomoroli'.

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

⁹Jadi', ompi' -ompi', ngkai lomo' kaki'epe-na kareba to mpokahangai' -koi, kiposampayai ncuu-mokoi. Mekakae-kai hi Alata'ala, kiperapi' bona nawai' -koi kanotoa nono pai' pe'inca mpo'inca hawe'ea konoa-na,

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,

¹⁰bona po'ingku-ni masipato' hi tauna to mpotuku' Pue', pai' hawe'ea kehi-ni mpakagoe' nono-na. Mosampaya-kai, bona nipobago butu nyala pobago to lompe', pai' bona katedoo-donihia noto-ni mpo'inca Alata'ala.

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;

¹¹Merapi' -kai hi Alata'ala bona narohoi nono-ni hante hawe'ea kuasa-na, ntuku' kabaraka' -na to uma mowo kabohe-na, bona ntaha pai' tari oa' -koi, nau' ba napa-napa to mporumpa' -koi.

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

¹²Mosampaya-kai bona goe' oa' nono-ni mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Tuama-ta, apa' Hi'a-mi to mpo'ongko' -koi jadi' ana' -na, alaa-na masipato' -koi mporata bagia hangkaa-ngkania hante hawe'ea topetuku' -na hi rala Kamagaua' -na to mobaja.

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

¹³Nabahaka-tamo ngkai kuasa kabengia-na, pai' -ta napajadi' ntodea-na hi rala Kamagaua' Ana' -na to nape'ahi'.

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

¹⁴Ana' -na toe-imi to jadi' tolo' woto-ta, bona te'ampungi jeko' -ta.

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

¹⁵Alata'ala, uma-i kahiloa. Aga ane ta'inca kehi pai' baraka' -na Ana' -na, ta'inca-mi kehi pai' baraka' -na Alata'ala. Ma'ala-mi ta'uli', Ana' -na toe-imi to Ulumua', apa' meliu kuasa-na ngkai hawe'ea to napajadi' Alata'ala.

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

¹⁶Apa' Hi'a-mi to napopale Alata'ala mpopajadi' hawe'ea to ria, lompe' to hi suruga lompe' to hi dunia', to kahiloa pai' to uma kahiloa. Hawe'ea mala'eka pai' karampua, hawe'ea anu mobaraka' pai' to mokuasa-- hawe'ea-na napajadi' hante baraka' -na pai' ntuku' konoa-na.

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.

¹⁷Kako'ia-na ria napa-napa, mpolia' ria-imi-hana. Pai' hawe'ea to ria nakuasai pai' napewili' hante baraka' -na.

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

¹⁸Kita' to mepangala' hi Kristus ma'ala rarapai' -ki woto-na, pai' Kristus woo' -ta. Hewa woo' mpokuasai woto, wae wo'o Hi'a mpokuasai hawe'ea tauna to mepangala' hi Hi'a. Pai' Hi'a-mi to mpowai' -ta katuwua' to bo'u, apa' Hi'a-mi to Ulumua', batua-na, to lomo' -na tuwu' nculii' ngkai kamatea. Alaa-na, Hi'a-mi to poko-na ngkai hawe'ea to ria.

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:

¹⁹Ane ta'inca-i Ana' Alata'ala toei, ta'inca-imi Alata'ala, apa' Alata'ala mpobotuhi bona hawe'ea kehi pai' baraka' -na, ria wo'o hi Ana' -na toei hante uma ria kakuraa' -na.

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

²⁰Alata'ala mpohubui Ana' -na tumai mate hi kaju parika', bona hawe'ea to ria rapopohintuwu' nculii' hante Hi'a, lompe' to hi dunia' lompe' to hi suruga. Kamate-na Yesus hi kaju parika' toe-mi to mpopohintuwu' hawe'ea-na hante Alata'ala.

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.

²¹Owi-koi ompi', molaa-koi ngkai Alata'ala. Nipobali' -ki apa' dada'a nono-ni pai' po'ingku-ni.

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

²²Aga tempo toi, ngkai kamate Ana' -na, hintuwu' -mokoi hante Alata'ala, pai' napomoroli' -mokoi duu' -na uma-pi ria kasalaia' -ni ba kakuraa' -ni hi poncilo-na.

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

²³Toe-mi ompi', tida-mokoi mepangala', neo' mogego', neo' nipelele' ba hema-hema to doko' mpobagiu-koi. Perohoi ngkakamu tudui' to ni'epe-mi. Neo' nibahakai ncarumaka napa to najanci-kokoi Alata'ala hi rala Kareba Lompe'. Kareba Lompe' toe, rapalele-mi hi humalili' dunia'. Pai' aku', jadi' pahawaa' Pue' wo'o-ama-kuwo, mpopalele Kareba toe.

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.

²⁴Hewa toe lau ompi', goe' moto-a mpokolo kaparia sabana pobago-ku mpotulungi-koi. Apa' ria-pidi kaparia to kana kutodohaka sabana pobago-ku hi Kristus, pai' kaparia to kurata tempo toi, kurata sabana pobago-ku hi hawe'ea topepangala' hi Kristus. Kita' omea to mepangala' hi Kristus ma'ala rarapai' -ki woto-na.

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;

²⁵Alata'ala mpo'ongko' -a jadi' pahawaa' -na, nasarumaka-ka aku' bago toi, bona aku' -mi to mpoparata hawe'ea Lolita-na hi koi' to bela-koi to Yahudi.

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

²⁷Alata'ala doko' mpopo'incai hawe'ea topetuku' -na beiwa kalompe' patuju-na hi koi' to bela-koi to Yahudi. Patuju-na toe: bona Kristus mo'oha' hi rala nono-ni, bona monoa' kamporata-ni kabohea tuwu' dohe Alata'ala. Patuju-na Alata'ala toe mo'atu-atu mpae-mi ko'ia ra'incai manusia'. Tapi' hewa toe lau patuju-na toe rapakanoto-mi hi hawe'ea tauna to napobagia.

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

²⁸Jadi', Kareba Kristus toe-mi to kipalele hi hawe'ea tauna, ntuku' hawe'ea kanotoa nono-kai. Kiparesai' pai' kitudui' -ra, pai' kitete' -ra butu dua-na, bona ane rata-kai hi nyanyoa Alata'ala, ma'ala kikeni-ra butu dua-na hi Hi'a hante uma ria kakuraa' -ra, apa' mosidai' -ramo hante Kristus.

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:

²⁹Toe-mi pai' mobago ntomo-ae, kuhuduwukui mpokamu bago-ku, ntuku' karohoa to nawai' -ka Kristus, apa' moroho mpu'u kabaraka' -na hi rala katuwu' -ku.

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.

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