WARQADDII RASUUL BAWLOS U QORAY DADKII
KOLOSAY

Salaan

Anigoo ah Bawlos, oo ah rasuulkii Ciise Masiix xagga doonista Ilaah, iyo walaalkeen Timoteyos, waxaannu warqaddan u qoraynaa quduusiinta iyo walaalaha aaminka ah ee Masiixa ku jira oo Kolosay jooga. Nimco ha idinla jirto iyo nabad ka timaada Ilaaha Aabbeheenna ah.

Mahadnaqid Iyo Duco

Waxaannu ku mahadnaqnaa Ilaaha ah Aabbaha Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix, annagoo had iyo goorba idiin soo ducaynayna. Waxaannu maqalnay rumaysadkiinna xagga Ciise Masiix iyo jacaylka aad quduusiinta oo dhan u qabtaan, rajada jannada laydiin dhigay aawadeed, taas oo aad hore ugu maqasheen hadalka runta ah oo injiilka. Kaasu waa idiin yimid, xataa siduu ugu yimid dunida oo dhan isagoo midho dhalaya oo kordhaya, sida uu idinkana midho idiinku dhalayo oo idiinku kordhayo, tan iyo maalintii aad maqasheen oo aad ogaateen nimcada Ilaah oo runta ku jirta. Sidaasaad ka barateen gacaliyeheenna Ebafras oo addoon nala ah, oo Masiixa u ah midiidin aamin ah aawadeen, kaas oo weliba noo caddeeyey jacaylkiinna Ruuxa ku jira.

Ciise Masiix Wuxuu Yahay Iyo Wuxuu Sameeyey

Sababtaas daraaddeed tan iyo maalintii aannu taas maqalnay ma aannu joojin inaannu idiin soo ducayno. Waxaannu Ilaah idiin baryaynaa inay idinka buuxsanto aqoonta doonistiisa xagga xigmadda iyo waxgarashada Ruuxa oo dhan, 10 inaad u socotaan si Rabbiga istaahisha oo aad wax kasta isaga kaga farxisaan, idinkoo midho ku soo saaraya shuqul kasta oo wanaagsan oo ku sii kordhaya aqoonta Ilaah. 11 Weliba waxaannu Ilaah baryaynaa inaad ku xoogaysataan xoog oo dhan sida uu yahay itaalka ammaantiisu xagga adkaysashada iyo dulqaadashada farxaddu la jirto oo dhan. 12 Mahad baannu u naqaynaa Aabbaha inaga dhigay kuwa istaahila inay ka qayb qaataan dhaxalka quduusiinta nuurka ku jirta. 13 Isagu waa inaga samatabbixiyey xoogga gudcurka, oo wuxuu inoo beddelay boqortooyadii Wiilka jacaylkiisa, 14 kaas oo aynu ku leennahay madaxfurasho ah dembidhaafka. 15 Isagu waa suuraddii Ilaaha aan la arki karin, oo ah curadka uunka oo dhan; 16 waayo, wax kastaba isagaa uumay, waxyaalaha samooyinka ku jira, iyo waxyaalaha dhulka joogaba, waxyaalaha la arki karo iyo waxyaalaha aan la arki karinba, hadday yihiin carshiyo ama sayidnimo ama madax ama amarro; wax walba isagaa uumay oo loo uumay. 17 Isagu wax kastaba wuu ka horreeyaa, oo wax kastaaba isagay isku haystaan. 18 Oo isagu waa madaxa jidhka, kaas oo ah kiniisadda, oo isagu waa bilowgii iyo curadka kuwii dhintay ka kacay, si uu uga horreeyo wax kastaba. 19 Waayo, waxaa Aabbaha ka farxisay in buuxnaanta oo dhammu ay isaga ku jirto, 20 iyo inuu isaga wax kastaba xaggiisa kula heshiiyo, isagoo kula nabday dhiiga iskutallaabtiisa; hadday yihiin waxyaalaha dhulka jooga ama hadday yihiin waxyaalaha samooyinka ku jiraba. 21 Idinku waa hore waxaad ahaydeen kuwo ajanabi laga dhigay, oo maankiinnana cadow baad ka ahaydeen xagga shuqulladiinna sharka ah, 22 laakiinse haatan isagu wuxuu idinkula heshiiyey jidhkiisii aadmiga oo dhintay, inuu isagu hortiisa idin keeno idinkoo quduus ah oo aan iin iyo eed midna lahayn, 23 haddii aad ku sii jirtaan iimaanka, oo aad gun iyo xidid adag ku leedihiin, oo aydnaan ka fogaan rajadii injiilkii aad maqasheen, kaas oo lagu wacdiyey uunka samada ka hooseeya oo dhan, oo anigoo Bawlos ah layga dhigay midiidin.

Qaybtii Uu Bawlos Ka Qaatay Shuqulka Ciise Masiix

24 Haatan waxaan ku farxaa xanuunsigayga aan idiin xanuunsado, oo waxaan dhammaystiraa dhibaatooyinka Masiixa oo jidhkayga ku dhiman jidhkiisa aawadiis kaasoo ah kiniisadda. 25 Taas waxaa la iiga dhigay midiidin xagga wakiilnimada Ilaah oo aniga aawadiin la ii siiyey inaan dhammaan erayga Ilaah ku wada wacdiyo. 26 Wuxuu ahaa wax aan la garanayn oo qarsoonaa tan iyo weligiis iyo qarni kasta, laakiinse haatan waxaa loo muujiyey quduusiintiisa. 27 Kuwaas Ilaah baa ku farxay inuu iyaga ogeysiiyo waxa ay tahay hodantinimada ammaanta qarsoodigan ee ku dhex jira quruumaha, kaas oo ah Masiixa idinku jira oo ah rajada ammaanta. 28 Isaga waannu naadinnaa, annagoo nin kasta waaninayna oo nin kasta wax ku barayna xigmad oo dhan, inaannu nin walba hor keenno isagoo Masiixa kaamil ku ah. 29 Taas ayaan u hawshoodaa anigoo aad u dadaalaya sida uu yahay shuqulkiisa si xoog leh igaga dhex shaqeeyaa.

Paul, an apostle(A) of Christ Jesus by the will of God,(B) and Timothy(C) our brother,

To God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters[a] in Christ:

Grace(D) and peace to you from God our Father.[b](E)

Thanksgiving and Prayer

We always thank God,(F) the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love(G) you have for all God’s people(H) the faith and love that spring from the hope(I) stored up for you in heaven(J) and about which you have already heard in the true message(K) of the gospel that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit(L) and growing throughout the whole world(M)—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. You learned it from Epaphras,(N) our dear fellow servant,[c] who is a faithful minister(O) of Christ on our[d] behalf, and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.(P)

For this reason, since the day we heard about you,(Q) we have not stopped praying for you.(R) We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will(S) through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,[e](T) 10 so that you may live a life worthy(U) of the Lord and please him(V) in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,(W) 11 being strengthened with all power(X) according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,(Y) 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father,(Z) who has qualified you[f] to share in the inheritance(AA) of his holy people in the kingdom of light.(AB) 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness(AC) and brought us into the kingdom(AD) of the Son he loves,(AE) 14 in whom we have redemption,(AF) the forgiveness of sins.(AG)

The Supremacy of the Son of God

15 The Son is the image(AH) of the invisible God,(AI) the firstborn(AJ) over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created:(AK) things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;(AL) all things have been created through him and for him.(AM) 17 He is before all things,(AN) and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head(AO) of the body, the church;(AP) he is the beginning and the firstborn(AQ) from among the dead,(AR) so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased(AS) to have all his fullness(AT) dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile(AU) to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven,(AV) by making peace(AW) through his blood,(AX) shed on the cross.

21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies(AY) in your minds(AZ) because of[g] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled(BA) you by Christ’s physical body(BB) through death to present you(BC) holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation(BD) 23 if you continue(BE) in your faith, established(BF) and firm, and do not move from the hope(BG) held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven,(BH) and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.(BI)

Paul’s Labor for the Church

24 Now I rejoice(BJ) in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions,(BK) for the sake of his body, which is the church.(BL) 25 I have become its servant(BM) by the commission God gave me(BN) to present to you the word of God(BO) in its fullness— 26 the mystery(BP) that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known(BQ) among the Gentiles the glorious riches(BR) of this mystery, which is Christ in you,(BS) the hope of glory.

28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing(BT) and teaching everyone with all wisdom,(BU) so that we may present everyone fully mature(BV) in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously(BW) contend(BX) with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.(BY)

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

To 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.

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

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

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

Which 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:

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

Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

For 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

16 For 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:

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

18 And 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.

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

20 And, 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.

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

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

23 If 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;

24 Who 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:

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

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

27 To 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:

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

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