1. కొలొస్సయిలో ఉన్న పరిశుద్ధులకు, అనగా క్రీస్తు నందు విశ్వాసులైన సహోదరులకు.

2. നമ്മുടെ പിതാവായ ദൈവത്തിങ്കല് നിന്നു നിങ്ങള്ക്കു കൃപയും സമാധാനവും ഉണ്ടാകട്ടെ.

2. దేవుని చిత్తమువలన క్రీస్తుయేసు అపొస్తలుడైన పౌలును సహోదరుడైన తిమోతియును శుభమనిచెప్పి వ్రాయునది. మన తండ్రియైన దేవుని నుండి కృపయు సమాధానమును మీకు కలుగును గాక.

3. സുവിശേഷത്തിന്റെ സത്യവചനത്തില് നിങ്ങള് മുമ്പു കേട്ടതായി സ്വര്ഗ്ഗത്തില് നിങ്ങള്ക്കു സംഗ്രഹിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന പ്രത്യാശനിമിത്തം,

3. పరలోకమందు మీకొరకు ఉంచబడిన నిరీక్షణనుబట్టి, క్రీస్తుయేసునందు మీకు కలిగియున్న విశ్వాసమును గూర్చియు, పరిశుద్ధులందరిమీద మీకున్న ప్రేమను గూర్చియు, మేము విని యెల్లప్పుడు మీ నిమిత్తము ప్రార్థనచేయుచు,

4. ക്രിസ്തുയേശുവില് നിങ്ങളുടെ വിശ്വാസത്തെയും സകലവിശുദ്ധന്മാരോടും നിങ്ങള്ക്കുള്ള സ്നേഹത്തെയും കുറിച്ചു ഞങ്ങള് കേട്ടിട്ടു നിങ്ങള്ക്കു വേണ്ടി പ്രാര്ത്ഥിക്കയില് എപ്പോഴും

4. మన ప్రభువగు యేసు క్రీస్తుయొక్క తండ్రియైన దేవునికి కృతజ్ఞతాస్తుతులు చెల్లించుచున్నాము.

5. നമ്മുടെ കര്ത്താവായ യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിന്റെ പിതാവായ ദൈവത്തിന്നു സ്തോത്രം ചെയ്യുന്നു.

5. మీయొద్దకు వచ్చిన సువార్త సత్యమునుగూర్చిన బోధవలన ఆ నిరీక్షణనుగూర్చి మీరు ఇంతకుముందు వింటిరి.

6. ആ സുവിശേഷം സര്വലോകത്തിലും എന്നപോലെ നിങ്ങുടെ അടുക്കലും എത്തി; നിങ്ങള് ദൈവകൃപയെ യഥാര്ത്ഥമായി കേട്ടറിഞ്ഞ നാള്മുതല് നിങ്ങളുടെ ഇടയില് എന്നപോലെ സര്വ്വലോകത്തിലും ഫലം കായിച്ചും വര്ദ്ധിച്ചും വരുന്നു.

6. ఈ సువార్త సర్వలోకములో ఫలించుచు, వ్యాపించుచున్నట్టుగా మీరు దేవుని కృపనుగూర్చి విని సత్యముగా గ్రహించిన నాటనుండి మీలో సయితము ఫలించుచు వ్యాపించుచున్నది.

7. ഇങ്ങനെ നിങ്ങള് ഞങ്ങളുടെ പ്രിയ സഹഭൃത്യനായ എപ്പഫ്രാസിനോടു പഠിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടല്ലോ; അവന് നിങ്ങള്ക്കു വേണ്ടി ക്രിസ്തുവിന്റെ വിശ്വസ്ത ശുശ്രൂഷകനും നിങ്ങള്ക്കു ആത്മാവിനാലുള്ള സ്നേഹം ഞങ്ങളോടു അറിയിച്ചവനും ആകുന്നു.

7. ఎపఫ్రా అను మా ప్రియుడైన తోడి దాసుని వలన మీరు ఈ సంగతులను నేర్చుకొంటిరి.

8. അതുകൊണ്ടു ഞങ്ങള് അതു കേട്ട നാള് മുതല് നിങ്ങള്ക്കു വേണ്ടി ഇടവിടാതെ പ്രാര്ത്ഥിക്കുന്നു.

8. అతడు మా విషయములో నమ్మకమైన క్రీస్తు పరిచారకుడు; అతడు ఆత్మయందలి మీ ప్రేమను మాకు తెలిపినవాడు.

9. നിങ്ങള് പൂര്ണ്ണപ്രസാദത്തിന്നായി കര്ത്താവിന്നു യോഗ്യമാകുംവണ്ണം നടന്നു, ആത്മികമായ സകല ജ്ഞാനത്തിലും വിവേകത്തിലും അവന്റെ ഇഷ്ടത്തിന്റെ പരിജ്ഞാനംകൊണ്ടു നിറഞ്ഞുവരേണം എന്നും സകല സല്പ്രവൃത്തിയിലും ഫലം കായിച്ചു ദൈവത്തെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള പരിജ്ഞാനത്തില് വളരേണമെന്നും

9. అందుచేత ఈ సంగతి వినిన నాటనుండి మేమును మీ నిమిత్తము ప్రార్థన చేయుట మానక, మీరు సంపూర్ణ జ్ఞానమును ఆత్మ సంబంధమైన వివేకముగనులవారును,

10. സകല സഹിഷ്ണുതെക്കും ദീര്ഘക്ഷമെക്കുമായി അവന്റെ മഹത്വത്തിന്റെ വല്ലഭത്വത്തിന്നു ഒത്തവണ്ണം പൂര്ണ്ണശക്തിയോടെ ബലപ്പെടേണമെന്നും

10. ఆయన చిత్తమును పూర్ణముగా గ్రహించినవారునై, ప్రతి సత్కార్యములో సఫలులగుచు, దేవుని విషయమైన జ్ఞాన మందు అభివృద్ధి పొందుచు, అన్ని విషయములలో ప్రభువును సంతోషపెట్టునట్లు,

11. വിശുദ്ധന്മാര്ക്കും വെളിച്ചത്തിലുള്ള അവകാശത്തിന്നായി നമ്മെ പ്രാപ്തന്മാരാക്കുകയും

11. ఆయనకు తగినట్టుగా నడుచుకొనవలెననియు, ఆనందముతో కూడిన పూర్ణమైన ఓర్పును దీర్ఘశాంతమును కనుపరచునట్లు ఆయన మహిమ శక్తినిబట్టి సంపూర్ణ బలముతో బలపరచబడవలెననియు,

12. നമ്മെ ഇരുട്ടിന്റെ അധികാരത്തില് നിന്നു വിടുവിച്ചു തന്റെ സ്നേഹസ്വരൂപനായ പുത്രന്റെ രാജ്യത്തിലാക്കിവെക്കുകയും ചെയ്ത പിതാവിന്നു സന്തോഷത്തോടെ സ്തോത്രം ചെയ്യുന്നവരാകേണം എന്നും അപേക്ഷിക്കുന്നു.

12. తేజోవాసులైన పరిశుద్ధుల స్వాస్థ్యములో పాలివారమగుటకు మనలను పాత్రులనుగాచేసిన తండ్రికి మీరు కృతజ్ఞతాస్తుతులు చెల్లింపవలెననియు దేవుని బతిమాలుచున్నాము.

13. അവനില് നമുക്കു പാപമോചനമെന്ന വീണ്ടെടുപ്പു ഉണ്ടു.

13. ఆయన మనలను అంధకార సంబంధమైన అధికారములో నుండి విడుదలచేసి, తాను ప్రేమించిన తన కుమారునియొక్క రాజ్యనివాసులనుగా చేసెను.

14. അവന് അദൃശ്യനായ ദൈവത്തിന്റെ പ്രതിമയും സര്വ്വസൃഷ്ടിക്കും ആദ്യജാതനും ആകുന്നു. സ്വര്ഗ്ഗത്തിലുള്ളതും ഭൂമിയിലുള്ളതും ദൃശ്യമായതും അദൃശ്യമായതും സിംഹാസനങ്ങള് ആകട്ടെ കര്ത്തൃത്വങ്ങള് ആകട്ടെ വാഴ്ചകള് ആകട്ടെ അധികാരങ്ങള്ആകട്ടെ സകലവും അവന് മുഖാന്തരം സൃഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെട്ടു; അവന് മുഖന്തരവും അവന്നായിട്ടും സകലവും സൃഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.

14. ఆ కుమారునియందు మనకు విమోచనము, అనగా పాపక్షమాపణ కలుగుచున్నది.

15. അവന് സര്വ്വത്തിന്നും മുമ്പെയുള്ളവന് ; അവന് സകലത്തിന്നും ആധാരമായിരിക്കുന്നു.

15. ఆయన అదృశ్య దేవుని స్వరూపియై సర్వసృష్టికి ఆదిసంభూతుడై యున్నాడు.

16. അവന് സഭ എന്ന ശരീരത്തിന്റെ തലയും ആകുന്നു; സകലത്തിലും താന് മുമ്പനാകേണ്ടതിന്നു അവന് ആരംഭവും മരിച്ചവരുടെ ഇടയില് നിന്നു ആദ്യനായി എഴുന്നേറ്റവനും ആകുന്നു.
സദൃശ്യവാക്യങ്ങൾ 16:4

16. ఏలయనగా ఆకాశమందున్నవియు భూమియందున్నవియు, దృశ్యమైనవిగాని, అదృశ్యమైనవిగాని, అవి సింహాసనములైనను ప్రభుత్వములైనను ప్రధానులైనను అధికారములైనను, సర్వమును ఆయనయందు సృజింపబడెను, సర్వమును ఆయన ద్వారాను ఆయనను బట్టియు సృజింపబడెను.

17. അവനില് സര്വ്വസമ്പൂര്ണ്ണതയും വസിപ്പാനും
സദൃശ്യവാക്യങ്ങൾ 8:22-25

17. ఆయన అన్నిటికంటె ముందుగా ఉన్న వాడు; ఆయనే సమస్తమునకు ఆధారభూతుడు.

18. അവന് ക്രൂശില് ചൊരിഞ്ഞ രക്തം കൊണ്ടു അവന് മുഖാന്തരം സമാധാനം ഉണ്ടാക്കി, ഭൂമിയിലുള്ളതോ സ്വര്ഗ്ഗത്തിലുള്ളതോ സകലത്തെയും അവനെക്കൊണ്ടു തന്നോടു നിരപ്പിപ്പാനും പിതാവിന്നു പ്രസാദം തോന്നി.

18. సంఘము అను శరీరమునకు ఆయనే శిరస్సు; ఆయనకు అన్నిటిలో ప్రాముఖ్యము కలుగు నిమిత్తము, ఆయన ఆదియైయుండి మృతులలోనుండి లేచుటలో ఆదిసంభూతుడాయెను.

19. മുമ്പെ ദുഷ്പ്രവൃത്തികളാല് മനസ്സുകൊണ്ടു അകന്നവരും ശത്രുക്കളുമായിരുന്ന നിങ്ങളെ

19. ఆయనయందు సర్వసంపూర్ణత నివసింపవలెననియు,

20. അവന്റെ മുമ്പില് വിശുദ്ധരും നിഷ്കളങ്കരും കുറ്റമില്ലാത്തവരുമായി നിറുത്തേണ്ടതിന്നു അവന് ഇപ്പോള് തന്റെ ജഡശരീരത്തില് തന്റെ മരണത്താല് നിരപ്പിച്ചു.

20. ఆయన సిలువ రక్తముచేత సంధిచేసి, ఆయన ద్వారా సమస్తమును, అవి భూలోకమందున్నవైనను పరలోకమందున్నవైనను, వాటినన్నిటిని ఆయన ద్వారా తనతో సమాధానపరచుకొన వలెననియు తండ్రి అభీష్టమాయెను.

21. ആകാശത്തിന് കീഴെ സകല സൃഷ്ടികളുടെയും ഇടയില് ഘോഷിച്ചും പൌലോസ് എന്ന ഞാന് ശുശ്രൂഷകനായിത്തീര്ന്നും നിങ്ങള് കേട്ടുമിരിക്കുന്ന സുവിശേഷത്തിന്റെ പ്രത്യാശയില്നിന്നു നിങ്ങള് ഇളകാതെ അടിസ്ഥാനപ്പെട്ടവരും സ്ഥിരതയുള്ളവരുമായി വിശ്വാസത്തില് നിലനിന്നുകൊണ്ടാല് അങ്ങനെ അവന്റെ മുമ്പില് നിലക്കും.

21. మరియు గతకాల మందు దేవునికి దూరస్థులును, మీ దుష్‌క్రియల వలన మీ మనస్సులో విరోధభావము గలవారునై యుండిన మిమ్మును కూడ

22. ഇപ്പോള് ഞാന് നിങ്ങള്ക്കു വേണ്ടിയുള്ള കഷ്ടാനുഭവങ്ങളില് സന്തോഷിച്ചു ക്രിസ്തുവിന്റെ കഷ്ടങ്ങളില് കുറവായുള്ളതു എന്റെ ജഡത്തില് സഭയായ അവന്റെ ശരീരത്തിന്നുവേണ്ടി പൂരിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.

22. తన సన్నిధిని పరిశుద్ధులుగాను నిర్దోషులుగాను నిరపరాధులుగాను నిలువబెట్టుటకు ఆయన మాంసయుక్తమైన దేహమందు మరణమువలన ఇప్పుడు మిమ్మును సమాధానపరచెను.

23. നിങ്ങള്ക്കു വേണ്ടി ദൈവം എനിക്കു നല്കിയിരിക്കുന്ന ഉദ്യോഗപ്രകാരം ദൈവവചനഘോഷണം നിവര്ത്തിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ഞാന് സഭയുടെ ശുശ്രൂഷകനായിരിക്കുന്നു.

23. పునాదిమీద కట్టబడినవారై స్థిరముగా ఉండి, మీరు విన్నట్టియు, ఆకాశము క్రింద ఉన్న సమస్త సృష్టికి ప్రకటింపబడినట్టియు ఈ సువార్తవలన కలుగు నిరీక్షణనుండి తొలగిపోక, విశ్వాసమందు నిలిచి యుండినయెడల ఇది మీకు కలుగును. పౌలను నేను ఆ సువార్తకు పరిచారకుడనైతిని.

24. അതു പൂര്വ്വകാലങ്ങള്ക്കും തലമുറകള്ക്കും മറഞ്ഞുകിടന്ന മര്മ്മം എങ്കിലും ഇപ്പോള് അവന്റെ വിശുദ്ധന്മാര്ക്കും വെളിപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.

24. ఇప్పుడు మీకొరకు నేను అనుభవించుచున్న శ్రమల యందు సంతోషించుచు, సంఘము అను ఆయన శరీరము కొరకు క్రీస్తు పడిన పాట్లలో కొదువైన వాటియందు నా వంతు నా శరీరమందు సంపూర్ణము చేయుచున్నాను.

25. അവരോടു ജാതികളുടെ ഇടയില് ഈ മര്മ്മത്തിന്റെ മഹിമാധനം എന്തെന്നു അറിയിപ്പാന് ദൈവത്തിന്നു ഇഷ്ടമായി; ആ മര്മ്മം മഹത്വത്തിന്റെ പ്രത്യാശയായ ക്രിസ്തു നിങ്ങളില് ഇരിക്കുന്നു എന്നുള്ളതു തന്നേ.

25. దేవుని వాక్యమును, అనగా యుగములలోను తరములలోను మరుగు చేయబడియున్న మర్మమును సంపూర్ణముగా ప్రకటించుటకు,

26. അവനെ ഞങ്ങള് അറിയിക്കുന്നതില് ഏതു മനുഷ്യനെയും ക്രിസ്തുവില് തികഞ്ഞവനായി നിറുത്തേണ്ടതിന്നു ഏതു മനുഷ്യനെയും പ്രബോധിപ്പിക്കയും ഏതു മനുഷ്യനോടും സകല ജ്ഞാനത്തോടും കൂടെ ഉപദേശിക്കയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.

26. మీ నిమిత్తము నాకు అప్పగింపబడిన దేవుని యేర్పాటు ప్రకారము, నేను ఆ సంఘమునకు పరిచారకుడనైతిని.

27. അതിന്നായി ഞാന് എന്നില് ബലത്തോടെ വ്യാപരിക്കുന്ന അവന്റെ വ്യാപാരശക്തിക്കു ഒത്തവണ്ണം പോരാടിക്കൊണ്ടു അദ്ധ്വാനിക്കുന്നു.

27. అన్యజనులలో ఈ మర్మముయొక్క మహిమైశ్వర్యము ఎట్టిదో అది, అనగా మీ యందున్న క్రీస్తు, మహిమ నిరీక్షణయై యున్నాడను సంగతిని దేవుడు తన పరిశుద్ధులకు తెలియపరచగోరి యిప్పుడు ఆ మర్మమును వారికి బయలుపరచెను.
