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

¹Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our 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 saints and faithful brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the 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 God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always 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 of the love which you have toward 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,

⁵because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,

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 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;

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

⁷even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,

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

⁸who also declared 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 cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and 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.

¹⁰that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the 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, for all endurance and perseverance 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 made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance 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 delivered us out of the power 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 our redemption, TR adds “through his blood,” the forgiveness of our 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 the image of the invisible God, the 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.

¹⁶For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through 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.

¹⁷He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

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.

¹⁸He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

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 all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him;

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 through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.

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

²¹You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

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.

²²yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,

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 it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, 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, was made a servant.

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 my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, 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 was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, to fulfill 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 for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed 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 was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, 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 proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

²⁹for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
