Colossians 1 глава

Colossians
New Living Translation → Елизаветинская Библия

This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy.

Па́ѵелъ, а҆п҇лъ ї҆и҃съ хр҇то́въ во́лею бж҃їею, и҆ тїмоѳе́й бра́тъ,

We are writing to God’s holy people in the city of Colosse, who are faithful brothers and sistersa in Christ. May God our Father give you grace and peace.

сѹ́щымъ въ колосса́ехъ ст҃ы҄мъ и҆ вѣ҄рнымъ бра́тїѧмъ ѡ҆ хр҇тѣ̀ ї҆и҃сѣ:

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

(За҄.) блгдть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ, и҆ гд҇а ї҆и҃са хр҇та̀. Благодари́мъ бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ гд҇а на́шегѡ ї҆и҃са хр҇та̀, всегда̀ ѡ҆ ва́съ молѧ́щесѧ,

For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God’s people,

слы́шавше вѣ́рѹ ва́шѹ, ѩ҆́же ѡ҆ хр҇тѣ̀ ї҆и҃сѣ, и҆ любо́вь, ю҆́же и҆́мате ко всѣ҄мъ ст҃ы́мъ,

which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.

за ѹ҆пова́нїе ѿложе́нное ва́мъ на нб҃сѣ́хъ, є҆́же пре́жде слы́шасте въ словесѝ и҆́стины бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ,

This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.

сѹ́щагѡ въ ва́съ, ѩ҆́коже и҆ во все́мъ мі́рѣ: и҆ є҆́сть плодоно́сно и҆ расти́мо, ѩ҆́коже и҆ въ ва́съ, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ слы́шасте и҆ разѹмѣ́сте блгдть бж҃їю во и҆́стинѣ:

You learned about the Good News from Epaphras, our beloved co-worker. He is Christ’s faithful servant, and he is helping us on your behalf.b

ѩ҆́коже и҆ ѹ҆вѣ́дѣсте ѿ є҆пафра́са, возлю́бленнагѡ сорабо́тника на́шегѡ, и҆́же є҆́сть вѣ́ренъ ѡ҆ ва́съ слѹжи́тель хр҇то́въ,

He has told us about the love for others that the Holy Spirit has given you.

и҆́же и҆ ѩ҆вѝ на́мъ ва́шѹ любо́вь въ дѹ́сѣ.

So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆ мы̀, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ слы́шахомъ, не престае́мъ ѡ҆ ва́съ молѧ́щесѧ и҆ просѧ́ще, да и҆спо́лнитесѧ въ ра́зѹмѣ во́ли є҆гѡ̀, во всѧ́цѣй премѹ́дрости и҆ ра́зѹмѣ дѹхо́внѣмъ,

Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

ѩ҆́кѡ ходи́ти ва́мъ досто́инѣ бг҃ѹ во всѧ́цѣмъ ѹ҆гожде́нїи (и҆) всѧ́цѣмъ дѣ́лѣ бла́зѣ, плодоносѧ́ще и҆ возраста́юще въ ра́зѹмѣ бж҃їи,

We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy,c

всѧ́кою си́лою возмога́юще по держа́вѣ сла́вы є҆гѡ̀, во всѧ́цѣмъ терпѣ́нїи и҆ долготерпѣ́нїи съ ра́достїю,

always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.

(За҄ 250.) благодарѧ́ще бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀, призва́вшаго ва́съ въ прича́стїе наслѣ́дїѧ ст҃ы́хъ во свѣ́тѣ,

For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son,

и҆́же и҆зба́ви на́съ ѿ вла́сти те́мныѧ и҆ преста́ви въ цр҇тво сн҃а любвѐ своеѧ̀,

who purchased our freedomd and forgave our sins. Christ Is Supreme

ѡ҆ не́мже и҆́мамы и҆збавле́нїе кро́вїю є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣ́хѡвъ,

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,e

и҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆́бразъ бг҃а неви́димагѡ, перворожде́нъ всеѧ̀ тва́ри:

for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see — such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.

ѩ҆́кѡ тѣ́мъ создана҄ бы́ша всѧ́чєскаѧ, ѩ҆̀же на нб҃сѝ и҆ ѩ҆̀же на землѝ, ви҄димаѧ и҆ неви҄димаѧ, а҆́ще престо́ли, а҆́ще госпѡ́дствїѧ, а҆́ще нача́ла, а҆́ще вла́сти: всѧ́чєскаѧ тѣ́мъ и҆ ѡ҆ не́мъ созда́шасѧ:

He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.

и҆ то́й є҆́сть пре́жде всѣ́хъ, и҆ всѧ́чєскаѧ въ не́мъ состоѧ́тсѧ.

Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead.f So he is first in everything.

(За҄ 251.) И҆ то́й є҆́сть глава̀ тѣ́лѹ цр҃кве, и҆́же є҆́сть нача́токъ, перворожде́нъ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ, ѩ҆́кѡ да бѹ́детъ во всѣ́хъ то́й пе́рвенствѹѧ:

For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ,

ѩ҆́кѡ въ не́мъ благоизво́ли всемѹ̀ и҆сполне́нїю всели́тисѧ,

and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.

и҆ тѣ́мъ примири́ти всѧ́чєскаѧ къ себѣ̀, ѹ҆миротвори́въ кро́вїю кр҇та̀ є҆гѡ̀, чрез̾ него̀, а҆́ще земна҄ѧ, а҆́ще ли нб҇наѧ.

This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.

И҆ ва́съ, и҆ногда̀ сѹ́щихъ ѿчѹжде́нныхъ и҆ врагѡ́въ помышле́ньми въ дѣ́лѣхъ лѹка́выхъ,

Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

нн҃ѣ же примирѝ въ тѣ́лѣ пло́ти є҆гѡ̀ сме́ртїю є҆гѡ̀, предста́вити ва́съ ст҃ы́хъ и҆ непоро́чныхъ и҆ непови́нныхъ пред̾ собо́ю,

But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.

а҆́ще ѹ҆̀бо пребыва́ете въ вѣ́рѣ ѡ҆снова́ни и҆ тве́рди, и҆ неподви́жими ѿ ѹ҆пова́нїѧ бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ, є҆́же слы́шасте, проповѣ́данное все́й тва́ри поднебе́снѣй, є҆мѹ́же бы́хъ а҆́зъ па́ѵелъ слѹжи́тель.

I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church.

(За҄ 252.) Нн҃ѣ ра́дѹюсѧ во страда́нїихъ мои́хъ ѡ҆ ва́съ, ѩ҆́кѡ и҆сполнѧ́ю лише́нїе скорбе́й хр҇то́выхъ во пло́ти мое́й за тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀, є҆́же є҆́сть цр҃ковь,

God has given me the responsibility of serving his church by proclaiming his entire message to you.

є҆́йже бы́хъ а҆́зъ слѹжи́тель по смотре́нїю бж҃їю, да́нномѹ мнѣ̀ въ ва́съ, и҆спо́лнити сло́во бж҃їе,

This message was kept secret for centuries and generations past, but now it has been revealed to God’s people.

та́йнѹ сокрове́ннѹю ѿ вѣ҄къ и҆ ѿ родѡ́въ: нн҃ѣ же ѩ҆ви́сѧ ст҃ы́мъ є҆гѡ̀,

For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.

и҆̀мже восхотѣ̀ бг҃ъ сказа́ти, ко́е бога́тство сла́вы та́йны сеѧ̀ во ѩ҆зы́цѣхъ, и҆́же є҆́сть хр҇то́съ въ ва́съ, ѹ҆пова́нїе сла́вы,

So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfectg in their relationship to Christ.

є҆го́же мы̀ проповѣ́дѹемъ, наказѹ́юще всѧ́каго человѣ́ка и҆ ѹ҆ча́ще всѧ́цѣй премѹ́дрости, да предста́вимъ всѧ́каго человѣ́ка соверше́нна ѡ҆ хр҇тѣ̀ ї҆и҃сѣ:

That’s why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ’s mighty power that works within me.

въ не́мже и҆ трѹжда́юсѧ и҆ подвиза́юсѧ по дѣ́йствѹ є҆гѡ̀ дѣ́йствѹемомѹ во мнѣ̀ си́лою.
