7nangcae khaeah oep kaom ah Kri ih tok sah, a palung o ih nawnto toksah tamna, Epaphra mah ang patuk o ih baktih toengah,
7You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

13He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,

14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
15Anih loe mik hoi hnu thai ai Sithaw ih krang ah oh moe, sak ih hmuennawk boih thungah tapen tangsuek ah oh:
15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17Anih loe hmuennawk boih om ai naah oh boeh, anih rang hoiah ni hmuennawk boih to oh.
17He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

18And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.

19For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,
20thinglam nui hoi kalong athii rang hoiah angdaehhaih to a ohsak, van ih hmuennawk hoi long ih hmuennawk, hmuennawk boih anih rang hoiah Sithaw khaeah angdaehhaih to a sak.
20and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.
21Kahoih ai hmuen na sak o pongah, nangcae loe palung thung hoi misa ah na oh o moe, Sithaw hoi nam praek o; toe anih mah vaihi angdaehsak let boeh
21Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds.
22a takpum duekhaih rang hoiah nangcae to Anih hmaa ah coek koi kaom ai, zaehaih kaom ai, kaciim ah angdoetsak hanah,
22But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence—

23if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
24Vaihi nangcae han patang ka khang pongah anghoehaih ka tawnh, a takpum ah kaom, Kricaabu hanah Kri mah tongh ih patangkhanghaih to ka takpum nuiah phaksak han ka koeh:
24Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.
25kakoep Sithaw ih lok to ka taphong moe, Sithaw toksak hanah nangcae khaeah ang patoeh baktih toengah, Sithaw toksah kami maeto ah ka oh;

26the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints.

27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28Anih ih tamthanglok to aicae mah taphong o, kami boih Kri Jesu ah akoep o thai hanah, kami boih a thuihtaek o moe, kami boih palunghahaih lok a patuk o:
28We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

29To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
