Colossians 1

بُولُسُ، رَسُولُ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ، وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ الأَخُ،

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

إِلَى الْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي كُولُوسِّي، وَالإِخْوَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلاَمٌ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

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.

نَشْكُرُ اللهَ وَأَبَا رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، مُصَلِّينَ لأَجْلِكُمْ،

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

إِذْ سَمِعْنَا إِيمَانَكُمْ بِالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، وَمَحَبَّتَكُمْ لِجَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ،

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

مِنْ أَجْلِ الرَّجَاءِ الْمَوْضُوعِ لَكُمْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ قَبْلاً فِي كَلِمَةِ حَقِّ الإِنْجِيلِ،

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

الَّذِي قَدْ حَضَرَ إِلَيْكُمْ كَمَا فِي كُلِّ الْعَالَمِ أَيْضًا، وَهُوَ مُثْمِرٌ كَمَا فِيكُمْ أَيْضًا مُنْذُ يَوْمَ سَمِعْتُمْ وَعَرَفْتُمْ نِعْمَةَ اللهِ بِالْحَقِيقَةِ.

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:

كَمَا تَعَلَّمْتُمْ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَبَفْرَاسَ الْعَبْدِ الْحَبِيبِ مَعَنَا، الَّذِي هُوَ خَادِمٌ أَمِينٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ لأَجْلِكُمُ،

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

الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَيْضًا بِمَحَبَّتِكُمْ فِي الرُّوحِ.

Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

مِنْ أَجْلِ ذلِكَ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا، مُنْذُ يَوْمَ سَمِعْنَا، لَمْ نَزَلْ مُصَلِّينَ وَطَالِبِينَ لأَجْلِكُمْ أَنْ تَمْتَلِئُوا مِنْ مَعْرِفَةِ مَشِيئَتِهِ، فِي كُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ رُوحِيٍّ

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;

لِتَسْلُكُوا كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِلرَّبِّ، فِي كُلِّ رِضىً، مُثْمِرِينَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَل صَالِحٍ، وَنَامِينَ فِي مَعْرِفَةِ اللهِ،

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

مُتَقَوِّينَ بِكُلِّ قُوَّةٍ بِحَسَبِ قُدْرَةِ مَجْدِهِ، لِكُلِّ صَبْرٍ وَطُولِ أَنَاةٍ بِفَرَحٍ،

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

شَاكِرِينَ الآبَ الَّذِي أَهَّلَنَا لِشَرِكَةِ مِيرَاثِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي النُّورِ،

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

الَّذِي أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ سُلْطَانِ الظُّلْمَةِ، وَنَقَلَنَا إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ ابْنِ مَحَبَّتِهِ،

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

الَّذِي لَنَا فِيهِ الْفِدَاءُ، بِدَمِهِ غُفْرَانُ الْخَطَايَا.

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

الَّذِي هُوَ صُورَةُ اللهِ غَيْرِ الْمَنْظُورِ، بِكْرُ كُلِّ خَلِيقَةٍ.

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

فَإِنَّهُ فِيهِ خُلِقَ الْكُلُّ: مَا في السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ، مَا يُرَى وَمَا لاَ يُرَى، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ عُرُوشًا أَمْ سِيَادَاتٍ أَمْ رِيَاسَاتٍ أَمْ سَلاَطِينَ. الْكُلُّ بِهِ وَلَهُ قَدْ خُلِقَ.

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:

الَّذِي هُوَ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَفِيهِ يَقُومُ الْكُلُّ

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

وَهُوَ رَأْسُ الْجَسَدِ: الْكَنِيسَةِ. الَّذِي هُوَ الْبَدَاءَةُ، بِكْرٌ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ هُوَ مُتَقَدِّمًا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

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.

لأَنَّهُ فِيهِ سُرَّ أَنْ يَحِلَّ كُلُّ الْمِلْءِ،

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

وَأَنْ يُصَالِحَ بِهِ الْكُلَّ لِنَفْسِهِ، عَامِلاً الصُّلْحَ بِدَمِ صَلِيبِهِ، بِوَاسِطَتِهِ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ: مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ، أَمْ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ.

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.

وَأَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ قَبْلاً أَجْنَبِيِّينَ وَأَعْدَاءً فِي الْفِكْرِ، فِي الأَعْمَالِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ، قَدْ صَالَحَكُمُ الآنَ

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

فِي جِسْمِ بَشَرِيَّتِهِ بِالْمَوْتِ، لِيُحْضِرَكُمْ قِدِّيسِينَ وَبِلاَ لَوْمٍ وَلاَ شَكْوَى أَمَامَهُ،

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

إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ، مُتَأَسِّسِينَ وَرَاسِخِينَ وَغَيْرَ مُنْتَقِلِينَ عَنْ رَجَاءِ الإِنْجِيلِ، الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ، الْمَكْرُوزِ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ الْخَلِيقَةِ الَّتِي تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ، الَّذِي صِرْتُ أَنَا بُولُسَ خَادِمًا لَهُ.

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;

الَّذِي الآنَ أَفْرَحُ فِي آلاَمِي لأَجْلِكُمْ، وَأُكَمِّلُ نَقَائِصَ شَدَائِدِ الْمَسِيحِ فِي جِسْمِي لأَجْلِ جَسَدِهِ، الَّذِي هُوَ الْكَنِيسَةُ،

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:

الَّتِي صِرْتُ أَنَا خَادِمًا لَهَا، حَسَبَ تَدْبِيرِ اللهِ الْمُعْطَى لِي لأَجْلِكُمْ، لِتَتْمِيمِ كَلِمَةِ اللهِ.

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;

السِّرِّ الْمَكْتُومِ مُنْذُ الدُّهُورِ وَمُنْذُ الأَجْيَالِ، لكِنَّهُ الآنَ قَدْ أُظْهِرَ لِقِدِّيسِيهِ،

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

الَّذِينَ أَرَادَ اللهُ أَنْ يُعَرِّفَهُمْ مَا هُوَ غِنَى مَجْدِ هذَا السِّرِّ فِي الأُمَمِ، الَّذِي هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ فِيكُمْ رَجَاءُ الْمَجْدِ.

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:

الَّذِي نُنَادِي بِهِ مُنْذِرِينَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَمُعَلِّمِينَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ، بِكُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ، لِكَيْ نُحْضِرَ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ كَامِلاً فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

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

الأَمْرُ الَّذِي لأَجْلِهِ أَتْعَبُ أَيْضًا مُجَاهِدًا، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِهِ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ فِيَّ بِقُوَّةٍ.

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