1 פּוֹלוֹס שְׁלִיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בִּרְצוֹן אֱלֹהִים וְטִימוֹתִיּוֹס אָחִינוּ	1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy, a brother,
2 אֶל־הַקְּדשִׁים וְהָאַחִים הַנֶּאֱמָנִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ אֲשֶׁר הֵם בְּקוֹלַסָּא חֶסֶד לָכֶם וְשָׁלוֹם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים אָבִינוּ וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ Jesus who are at Colossae.
3 נוֹדֶה לֵאלֹהִים אֲבִי אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בְּכָל עֵת אֲשֶׁר אֲנַחְנוּ מִתְפַּלְּלִים בַּעַדְכֶם	3 Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying for you always.
4 אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ אֱמוּנַתְכֶם בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ וְאַהֲבַתְכֶם אֶל־כָּל־הַקְּדשִׁים	4 For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that you have toward all the saints,
5 בַּעֲבוּר הַתִּקְוָה הַצְּפוּנָה לָכֶם בַּשָּׁמַיִם וְנוֹדְעָה לָכֶם מִקֶּדֶם בִּדְבַר־אֱמֶת הַבְּשׂוֹרָה	5 because of the hope that has been stored up for you in heaven, which you have heard through the Word of Truth in the Gospel.
6 אֲשֶׁר בָּאָה אֲלֵיכֶם וְגַם לְכָל־הָעוֹלָם וְתִפְרֶה וְתִרְבֶּה כְּמוֹ גַם־בְּתוֹכֲכֶם לְמִן־הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר שְׁמַעְתֶּם וְהִכַּרְתֶּם בֶּאֱמֶת אֶת־חֶסֶד אֱלֹהִים	6 This has reached you, just as it is present in the whole world, where it grows and bears fruit, as it has also done in you, since the day when you first heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
7 כַּאֲשֶׁר לְמַדְתֶּם מִן־אֶפַּפְרָס חֲבֵרֵנוּ הֶחָבִיב אֲשֶׁר־הוּא מְשָׁרֵת נֶאֱמָן בַּעַדְכֶם לַמָּשִׁיחַ	7 just as you learned it from Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus.
8 וְהוּא גַּם־הוֹדִיעַ אֹתָנוּ אֶת־אַהֲבַתְכֶם בָּרוּחַ	8 And he has also manifested to us your love in the Spirit.
9 בַּעֲבוּר זֹאת גַּם־אֲנַחְנוּ לְמִן־הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר שְׁמַעֲנוּהָ לֹא חָדַלְנוּ לְהִתְפַּלֵּל בַּעַדְכֶם וּלְבַקֵּשׁ שֶׁתִּמָּלְאוּ דַעַת רְצוֹן הָאֱלֹהִים בְּכָל־חָכְמָה וּתְבוּנָה רוּחָנִית	9 Then, too, from the day when we first heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and requesting that you be filled with the knowledge of his will, with all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
10 לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ כַּטּוֹב בְּעֵינֵי הָאָדוֹן וּכְכָל־רְצוֹנוֹ וְלַעֲשׂוֹת פְּרִי בְּכָל־מַעֲשֶׂה טוֹב וְלִרְבוֹת בְּדַעַת אֱלֹהִים	10 so that you may walk in a manner worthy of God, being pleasing in all things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God,
11 לְהִתְחַזֵּק בְּכָל־כֹּחַ כִּגְבוּרַת כְּבוֹדוֹ לְכָל־סַבְלָנוּת וְאֹרֶךְ רוּחַ עִם־שִׂמְחָה	11 being strengthened in every virtue, in accord with the power of his glory, with all patience and longsuffering, with joy,
12 וְלָתֵת תּוֹדָה לְאָבִינוּ הָעֹשֶׂה אֹתָנוּ רְאוּיִם לְחֵלֶק נַחֲלַת הַקְּדשִׁים בָּאוֹר	12 giving thanks to God the Father, who has made us worthy to have a share in the portion of the saints, in the light.
13 אֲשֶׁר הוּא חִלְּצָנוּ מִמֶּמְשֶׁלֶת הַחשֶׁךְ וְהֶעֱבִירָנוּ לְמַלְכוּת בֶּן־אַהֲבָתוֹ	13 For he has rescued us from the power of darkness, and he has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 אֲשֶׁר יֶשׁ־לָנוּ בּוֹ הַפִּדְיוֹן בְּדָמוֹ סְלִיחַת הַחֲטָאִים	14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins.
15 וְהוּא צֶלֶם הָאֱלֹהִים הַנֶּעְלָם וּבְכוֹר כָּל־נִבְרָא	15 He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature.
16 כִּי־בוֹ נִבְרָא כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׁמַיִם וַאֲשֶׁר בָּאָרֶץ כֹּל הַנִּרְאֶה וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־אֵינֶנּוּ נִרְאֶה הֵן כִּסְאוֹת וּמֶמְשָׁלוֹת הֵן שְׂרָרוֹת וְרָשֻׁיּוֹת הַכֹּל נִבְרָא עַל־יָדוֹ וּלְמַעֲנוֹ	16 For in him was created everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created through him and in him.
17 וְהוּא לִפְנֵי הַכֹּל וְהַכֹּל קַיָּם בּוֹ	17 And he is before all, and in him all things continue.
18 וְהוּא רֹאשׁ גּוּף הָעֵדָה אֲשֶׁר הוּא רֵאשִׁית וּבְכוֹר מֵעִם הַמֵּתִים לְמַעַן יִהְיֶה הָרִאשׁוֹן בַּכֹּל	18 And he is the head of his body, the Church. He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, so that in all things he may hold primacy.
19 כִּי־כֵן הָיָה הָרָצוֹן לְשַׁכֵּן בּוֹ אֶת־כָּל הַמְּלוֹא	19 For the Father is well-pleased that all fullness reside in him,
20 וּלְרַצּוֹת אֶל־עַצְמוֹ אֶת־הַכֹּל עַל־יָדוֹ בַּעֲשׂוֹתוֹ שָׁלוֹם בְּדַם־צְלָבוֹ עַל־יָדוֹ הֵן אֲשֶׁר בָּאָרֶץ הֵן אֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׁמָיִם	20 and that, through him, all things be reconciled to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, for the things that are on earth, as well as the things that are in heaven.
21 וְגַם־אַתֶּם אֲשֶׁר הֱיִיתֶם מִלְּפָנִים מוּזָרִים וְאֹיְבִים בִּנְטוֹת לְבַבְכֶם אַחֲרֵי הַמַּעֲשִׂים הָרָעִים	21 And you, though you had been, in times past, understood to be foreigners and enemies, with works of evil,
22 עַתָּה רִצָּה אֶתְכֶם בְּגוּף בְּשָׂרוֹ עַל־יְדֵי מוֹתוֹ לְהַעֲמִידְכֶם לְפָנָיו קְדשִׁים וּבְלִי־מוּם וָדֹפִי	22 yet now he has reconciled you, by his body of flesh, through death, so as to offer you, holy and immaculate and blameless, before him.
23 אִם־תַּעַמְדוּ מְיֻסָּדִים וּנְכוֹנִים בָּאֱמוּנָה וְלֹא תָזוּעוּ מִתּוֹחֶלֶת הַבְּשׂוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר שְׁמַעְתֶּם וַאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁמְעָה לְכָל־הַנִּבְרָא תַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם וַאֲנִי פוֹלוֹס הָיִיתִי לָהּ לִמְשָׁרֵת	23 So then, continue in the faith: well-founded and steadfast and immovable, by the hope of the Gospel that you have heard, which has been preached throughout all creation under heaven, the Gospel of which I, Paul, have become a minister.
24 עַתָּה הִנְנִי שָׂמֵחַ בְּעִנּוּיַי אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי סֹבֵל לְמַעַנְכֶם וַאֲמַלֵּא אֶת־הֶחָסֵר בְּיִסּוּרֵי הַמָּשִׁיחַ בִּבְשָׂרִי בְּעַד גּוּפוֹ הִיא הָעֵדָה	24 For now I rejoice in my passion on your behalf, and I complete in my flesh the things that are lacking in the Passion of Christ, for the sake of his body, which is the Church.
25 אֲשֶׁר הָיִיתִי לָהּ לִמְשָׁרֵת כְּפִי־פְקֻדַּת אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר נִתְּנָה־לִּי עֲלֵיכֶם לְמַלֹּאת אֶת־דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים	25 For I have become a minister of the Church, according to the dispensation of God that has been given to me among you, so that I may fulfill the Word of God,
26 אֶת־הַסּוֹד אֲשֶׁר הָיָה נִסְתָּר מֵעוֹלָמִים וּמִדּוֹר וָדוֹר וְעַתָּה נִגְלָה לִקְדוֹשָׁיו	26 the mystery which had remained hidden to past ages and generations, but which now is manifested to his saints.
27 אֲשֶׁר־רָצָה הָאֱלֹהִים לְהוֹדִיעָם אֵיזֶה הוּא עשֶׁר כְּבוֹד הַסּוֹד הַהוּא בַּגּוֹיִם וְהוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲשֶׁר בָּכֶם אֲשֶׁר הוּא תִּקְוַת הַכָּבוֹד	27 To them, God willed to made known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ and the hope of his glory within you.
28 וְאוֹתוֹ מַשְׁמִיעִים אֲנַחְנוּ בְּהוֹכִיחֵנוּ כָל־אִישׁ וּבְלַמְּדֵנוּ כָל־אִישׁ בְּכָל־חָכְמָה לְמַעַן הַעֲמִיד כָּל־אִישׁ שָׁלֵם בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ	28 We are announcing him, correcting every man and teaching every man, with all wisdom, so that we may offer every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
29 וּבָזֹאת אַף־אֲנִי עָמֵל וְנִלְחָם כְּפִי־פְעֻלַּת כֹּחוֹ הַפֹּעֵל בִּי בִּגְבוּרָה	29 In him, too, I labor, striving according to his action within me, which he works in virtue.
