2 الى القديسين في كولوسي والاخوة المؤمنين في المسيح نعمة لكم وسلام من الله ابينا والرب يسوع المسيح	2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ Jesus who are at Colossae.
3 نشكر الله وابا ربنا يسوع المسيح كل حين مصلّين لاجلكم	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 اذ سمعنا ايمانكم بالمسيح يسوع ومحبتكم لجميع القديسين	4 For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that you have toward all the saints,
5 من اجل الرجاء الموضوع لكم في السموات الذي سمعتم به قبلا في كلمة حق الانجيل	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 الذي قد حضر اليكم كما في كل العالم ايضا وهو مثمر كما فيكم ايضا منذ يوم سمعتم وعرفتم نعمة الله بالحقيقة.	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 كما تعلّمتم ايضا من ابفراس العبد الحبيب معنا الذي هو خادم امين للمسيح لاجلكم	7 just as you learned it from Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus.
8 الذي اخبرنا ايضا بمحبتكم في الروح.	8 And he has also manifested to us your love in the Spirit.
9 من اجل ذلك نحن ايضا منذ يوم سمعنا لم نزل مصلّين وطالبين لاجلكم ان تمتلئوا من معرفة مشيئته في كل حكمة وفهم روحي	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 لتسلكوا كما يحق للرب في كل رضى مثمرين في كل عمل صالح ونامين في معرفة الله	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 متقوين بكل قوة بحسب قدرة مجده لكل صبر وطول اناة بفرح	11 being strengthened in every virtue, in accord with the power of his glory, with all patience and longsuffering, with joy,
12 شاكرين الآب الذي اهّلنا لشركة ميراث القديسين في النور	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 الذي انقذنا من سلطان الظلمة ونقلنا الى ملكوت ابن محبته	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 الذي لنا فيه الفداء بدمه غفران الخطايا.	14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins.
15 الذي هو صورة الله غير المنظور بكر كل خليقة.	15 He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature.
16 فانه فيه خلق الكل ما في السموات وما على الارض ما يرى وما لا يرى سواء كان عروشا ام سيادات ام رياسات ام سلاطين. الكل به وله قد خلق.	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 الذي هو قبل كل شيء وفيه يقوم الكل	17 And he is before all, and in him all things continue.
18 وهو راس الجسد الكنيسة. الذي هو البداءة بكر من الاموات لكي يكون هو متقدما في كل شيء.	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 لانه فيه سرّ ان يحل كل الملء.	19 For the Father is well-pleased that all fullness reside in him,
20 وان يصالح به الكل لنفسه عاملا الصلح بدم صليبه بواسطته سواء كان ما على الارض ام ما في السموات.	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 وانتم الذين كنتم قبلا اجنبيين واعداء في الفكر في الاعمال الشريرة قد صالحكم الآن	21 And you, though you had been, in times past, understood to be foreigners and enemies, with works of evil,
22 في جسم بشريته بالموت ليحضركم قديسين وبلا لوم ولا شكوى امامه	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 ان ثبتم على الايمان متأسسين وراسخين وغير منتقلين عن رجاء الانجيل الذي سمعتموه المكروز به في كل الخليقة التي تحت السماء الذي صرت انا بولس خادما له	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 الذي الآن افرح في آلامي لاجلكم واكمل نقائص شدائد المسيح في جسمي لاجل جسده الذي هو الكنيسة	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 التي صرت انا خادما لها حسب تدبير الله المعطى لي لاجلكم لتتميم كلمة الله	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 السر المكتوم منذ الدهور ومنذ الاجيال لكنه الآن قد أظهر لقديسيه	26 the mystery which had remained hidden to past ages and generations, but which now is manifested to his saints.
27 الذين اراد الله ان يعرّفهم ما هو غنى مجد هذا السر في الامم الذي هو المسيح فيكم رجاء المجد	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 الذي ننادي به منذرين كل انسان ومعلمين كل انسان بكل حكمة لكي نحضر كل انسان كاملا في المسيح يسوع.	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 الامر الذي لاجله اتعب ايضا مجاهدا بحسب عمله الذي يعمل فيّ بقوة	29 In him, too, I labor, striving according to his action within me, which he works in virtue.
