The Letter Paul Write to the Colossians
1 This letter from me, Paul. I apostle for Jesus Christ because da what God want, and Timothy our brother here with me. 2 I writing to yor the holy brother dem* in Co·losʹsae, yor who da faithful disciples for Christ.
Let our God and Father give yor peace and let his special kindness be with yor.
3 We can always tell God, the Father for our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you when we pray for yor. 4 We do this one because we hear about the faith yor get in Jesus Christ and the love yor get for the brother dem.* 5 Yor get this faith and love because of the blessing da God get for yor in heaven. Yor hear about this blessing the time yor hear the true message about the good news. 6 This good news da they na preach to yor about, it bringing good result and it spreading all over the world. It also getting good result among yor from the time yor hear this good news and learn the truth about God special kindness. 7 Yor learn about this special kindness from Epʹa·phras. He our brother who we really love, and he slave like us and he faithful servant for Christ. He doing the work we wor coming to do if we wor there with yor. 8 He also tell us about the love the holy spirit help yor to show.
9 And also da the reason why from the day we hear about it, we never stop praying for yor. We continue praying so da yor can really understand the correct teaching about what God want, so da yor can be wise. And also for the spirit to help yor to understand everything. 10 We pray da yor live your life the right way so da Jehovah* can be happy. And for yor to also do good work so da yor can continue to know more about the correct teaching about God. 11 God will use his great power to give yor all the strength yor need. This one will help yor to be patient and be happy when yor bearing all your problem dem. 12 We tell our Father thank you, because he na make yor qualify to get the thing he na promise the brother dem* who in the light.
13 He save us from the darkness* and he carry us in the Kingdom of his Son who he really love. 14 God can forgive our sins because of the sacrifice his Son made. 15 Jesus resemble God who we can’t see, and God made him first before he made any other thing. 16 Da he the one God use to make all the thing dem in heaven and on earth. The thing dem we can see and the thing dem we can’t see, whether da rulers, or people who get big position, or governments, or authority. God use him to make everything and everything for him. 17 Also, Jesus wor living before all the other thing dem, and God use him to make all the other thing dem. 18 He the head for the body, and da body da the congregation. He the first,* and da he the first person who na come back to life, so da he can be the first person in everything. 19 And da because God wor happy for all his good-good way dem to be in him. 20 God use his son to make all the thing dem da in heaven and the thing dem da on earth to get good friendship with him. The blood da came from Christ body when he wor on the torture stake* made this one possible.
21 To talk the truth, yor use to be far from God and yor use to be his enemy because yor only use to be thinking about wicked thing dem. 22 But now, because Jesus sacrifice his human body and die, God friendly with yor again. He do it so da yor can be people who holy in front of him, people who clean in God eye and people who nobody can say any bad thing about. 23 But yor mon continue to get faith. Yor mon stand strong on the foundation, and yor mon not let anything to shake yor. Yor mon never allow anything to make yor lose the hope da the good news can give. Yor hear this good news and they preach it all over the world. God choose me, Paul, to preach this good news.
24 I really happy da I suffering for yor to benefit. I know da I will continue to suffer for Christ because of his body, and da body da the congregation. 25 I serve the congregation because God choose me to do this work and this one da for yor to benefit. Da the reason why I doing my best to preach God Word. 26 And God not show this secret to people who wor living way back and to the other generation dem. But now he na show it to the brother dem.* 27 God really happy to show this holy secret to people who coming from different-different nation dem. This holy secret really wonderful. And this holy secret da, yor united with Christ, and this one mean yor get the hope to share in the honor with him. 28 Da he the one we preaching about. We warning everybody and using wisdom to teach everybody, so da we can help everybody who following Christ to be mature. 29 Because of this one, I continue working hard, and using the strength da he give me to do powerful work.
