Colossians 1
1
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother,
2to the saints in Colossae, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
4having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the saints,
5because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news,
6which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth;
7as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ,
8who also did declare to us your love in the Spirit.
9Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
10to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,
11in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.
12Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light,
13who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate [us] into the reign of the Son of His love,
14in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins,
15who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,
16because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,
17and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.
18And himself is the head of the body — the assembly — who is a beginning, a firstborn out of the dead, that he might become in all [things] — himself — first,
19because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,
20and through him to reconcile the all things to himself — having made peace through the blood of his cross — through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
21And you — once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,
22in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,
23if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that [is] under the heaven, of which I became — I Paul — a ministrant.
24I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,
25of which I — I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God,
26the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints,
27to whom God did will to make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations — which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,
28whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,
29for which also I labour, striving according to his working that is working in me in power.

Colossians 1

1Sha'ul a Shliach of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua through the ratzon Hashem#1:1 Co 1:9 and Timotiyos the Ach b'Moshiach;
2To the Kedoshim in Colossae, the Achim b'Moshiach, the Achim HaNe'emanim. Chen v'Chesed Hashem to you and shalom from Elohim Avinu.
3Hodinu l'Hashem (we give thanks to Hashem) Elohim HaAv of Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, davening always concerning you,
4Having heard of your emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua and the ahavah which you have for all the Kedoshim,
5On account of the tikvah (hope) being laid up for you in Shomayim, the tikvah which you heard of before in the Dvar HaEmes, the Besuras HaGeulah
6That has come to you, as also in all the Olam Hazeh it is bearing p'ri and growing, so also in you, from the day you heard it and began to have saving da'as of the Chen v'Chesed Hashem in actuality.
7This you learned from Epaphras,#1:7 Co 4:12 our chaver and fellow eved, who is ne'eman (faithful), who is a trusted keli kodesh (minister) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach for you.
8Epaphras also revealed to us your ahavah in the Ruach Hakodesh.
9Therefore, we also, from the day that we heard, do not cease davening for you and offering tefillos that you be filled with da'as of the ratzon Hashem#1:9 Co 1:1 in all chochmah and binah in the Ruach Hakodesh.
10And this is the purpose: that you walk in hitnahagut (conduct) worthy of Adoneinu in every way pleasing to him in every mitzvoh bearing p'ri in the da'as of Hashem,
11With all ko'ach being empowered according to the gevurah (power) of his kavod for all savlanut (patience) and orech ruach (longsuffering) with lev same'ach (glad heart),
12Giving todot to Elohim HaAv. Elohim HaAv is the One who has qualified you for the share of the allotted nachalah#1:12 Ps 16:5-6 (inheritance) of the Kedoshim in Ohr (Light);
13Elohim HaAv is the One who rescued nafsheinu (our souls) from the memshalet (dominion) of Choshech and transferred us into the Malchut of the Zun fun der Oybershter of His ahavah,
14In whom we have the pedut (redemption, Geulah release on payment of ransom) through the [kapporah] dahm of Moshiach the selicha (forgiveness) of chatoteinu (our sins).
15Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is the demut#1:15 Gn 1:26-27; Pp 2:6 of the invisible G-d, the Bechor,#1:15 Ps 89:27 the Yoresh (Heir) of kol hanivrah (all creation),
16Because in Him were created all things in Shomayim and on Ha'Aretz, the visible and the nistar (hidden), whether thrones or dominions, whether rulers or authorities, all things through Him and for Him have been created.#1:16 Ps 33:6
17And Moshiach is before all things, and all things in Moshiach have been held together;#1:17 Prov 8:23-27; 30:4
18And Moshiach is the Rosh#1:18 Prov 8:22; 30:4 of the Geviyah (Body),#1:18 Gn 47:18; Ps 16:9-10; Isa 53:11; Job 19:25-27 and the Geviyah#1:18 Dt 21:23 (nevilah) is Moshiachʼs Brit Chadasha Kehillah; Moshiach is its Reshit, the Bechor from the Mesim, that Moshiach might be in everything pre-eminent,#1:18 Ps 89:27
19Because Hashem was pleased that all His fullness have its mishkan (tabernacle) in Moshiach,
20And through Moshiach to bring ritztzuy (reconciliation, cessation of enmity, hostility between a wrathful holy G-d and sinful Bnei Adam) between all things and Himself, having made shalom through the dahm of the kapporah of HaEtz HaMoshiach,#1:20 Dt 21:23; Isa 52:15; Lv 16:15-16 whether the things on HaAretz or the things in HaShomayim.
21And you, once having been alienated and oyvim (enemies) in the mind by ma'asim hara'im (evil deeds),
22Yet now Moshiach reconciled in the Guf (body)#1:22 Co 1:18 of his basar#1:22 Ps 16:9-10 through Moshiachʼs histalkus#1:22 Dan 9:26; Isa 53:8-9 to present you, Kedoshim holy and without mum#1:22 Lv 22:20 (defect) and without reproach before Him,
23Provided you remain in the#1:23 correct Orthodox Jewish Emunah,#1:23 Faith, the Emunah of the true Dat HaYehudit having been founded in it and securely established and not moving away from the tikvah (hope) of the Besuras HaGeulah which you heard, the Besuras HaGeulah which has been proclaimed in kol hanivrah (all creation) under Shomayim, the Besuras HaGeulah of which I, Rav Sha'ul, became a keli kodesh (minister).
24Now with lev same'ach (glad heart) and chedvah (rejoicing) I rejoice in my suffering tzoros on behalf of you. And I am mashlim (supply what is deficient) the things lacking of the Chevlei Moshiach in my basar on behalf of the basar of Moshiach#1:24 Co 1:18 which is the Brit Chadasha Kehillah,
25Of which I became a keli kodesh#1:25 Co 1:23 according to the pekudat Hashem (stewardship of G-d, His shlichus commission) which was given to me for you, to carry to shleimut (wholeness, completion) the Dvar Hashem,
26The raz (mystery) having been hidden from olamim and from dor v'dor, but now made manifest to the Kedoshim of Moshiach,
27To whom Hashem wanted to make hisgalus of what is the spiritual osher of the kavod of this raz among the non-Jews: Moshiach in you, the tikvah of kavod.
28It is Moshiach who is the subject of our hattafah (preaching), warning every man and teaching every man in all chochmah, that we may present every man Bnei Chayil mature in Moshiach.
29For this also I toil, striving according to the hitlahavut (inspiration, enthusiasm) of Him working in me with gevurah.
