Colossians 1
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, a brother,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ Jesus, who are at Colossa.
3 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.
4 Hearing your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love which you have towards all the saints.
5 For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel,
6 Which is come unto you, as also it is in the whole world, and bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth.
7 As you learned of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus;
8 Who also hath manifested to us your love in the spirit.
9 Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding:
10 That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God:
11 Strengthened with all might, according to the power of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy,
12 Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins;
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and in him.
17 And he is before all, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he may hold the primacy:
19 Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell;
20 And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are in heaven.
21 And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works:
22 Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unspotted, and blameless before him:
23 If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven, whereof I Paul am made a minister.
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church:
25 Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I may fulfill the word of God:
26 The mystery which hath been hidden from ages and generations, but now is manifested to his saints,
27 To whom God would make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ, in you the hope of glory.
28 Whom we preach, admonishing every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
29 Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me in power.

1 Paul, an apostle(A) of Christ Jesus by the will of God,(B) and Timothy(C) our brother,
2 To God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters[a] in Christ:
Grace(D) and peace to you from God our Father.[b](E)
Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 We always thank God,(F) the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love(G) you have for all God’s people(H)— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope(I) stored up for you in heaven(J) and about which you have already heard in the true message(K) of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit(L) and growing throughout the whole world(M)—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. 7 You learned it from Epaphras,(N) our dear fellow servant,[c] who is a faithful minister(O) of Christ on our[d] behalf, 8 and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.(P)
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you,(Q) we have not stopped praying for you.(R) We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will(S) through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,[e](T) 10 so that you may live a life worthy(U) of the Lord and please him(V) in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,(W) 11 being strengthened with all power(X) according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,(Y) 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father,(Z) who has qualified you[f] to share in the inheritance(AA) of his holy people in the kingdom of light.(AB) 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness(AC) and brought us into the kingdom(AD) of the Son he loves,(AE) 14 in whom we have redemption,(AF) the forgiveness of sins.(AG)
The Supremacy of the Son of God
15 The Son is the image(AH) of the invisible God,(AI) the firstborn(AJ) over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created:(AK) things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;(AL) all things have been created through him and for him.(AM) 17 He is before all things,(AN) and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head(AO) of the body, the church;(AP) he is the beginning and the firstborn(AQ) from among the dead,(AR) so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased(AS) to have all his fullness(AT) dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile(AU) to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven,(AV) by making peace(AW) through his blood,(AX) shed on the cross.
21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies(AY) in your minds(AZ) because of[g] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled(BA) you by Christ’s physical body(BB) through death to present you(BC) holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation(BD)— 23 if you continue(BE) in your faith, established(BF) and firm, and do not move from the hope(BG) held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven,(BH) and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.(BI)
Paul’s Labor for the Church
24 Now I rejoice(BJ) in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions,(BK) for the sake of his body, which is the church.(BL) 25 I have become its servant(BM) by the commission God gave me(BN) to present to you the word of God(BO) in its fullness— 26 the mystery(BP) that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known(BQ) among the Gentiles the glorious riches(BR) of this mystery, which is Christ in you,(BS) the hope of glory.
28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing(BT) and teaching everyone with all wisdom,(BU) so that we may present everyone fully mature(BV) in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously(BW) contend(BX) with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.(BY)

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ[a] Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 to the saints and faithful brothers[b] in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints, 5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News 6 which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth, 7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your[c] behalf, 8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, 11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, 13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love, 14 in whom we have our redemption,[d] the forgiveness of our sins.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together. 18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds, 22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him, 23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly, 25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God, 26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints, 27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus; 29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

Приветствие
1 От Павлуса, посланника Исо Масеха[a], избранного по воле Всевышнего, и от брата Тиметея 2 святому народу Всевышнего в Колоссах, верным братьям в Масехе.
Благодать и мир вам[b] от Всевышнего, нашего Небесного Отца.[c]
Благодарность Всевышнему и молитва за верующих в Колоссах
3 Мы всегда в молитвах благодарим за вас Всевышнего – Отца[d] нашего Повелителя Исо Масеха, 4 потому что до нас доходят слухи о вашей вере в Исо Масеха и о вашей любви ко всему святому народу Всевышнего. 5 Ваши вера и любовь порождены надеждой на то, что ожидает вас на небесах. Вы слышали об этой надежде раньше в слове истины – Радостной Вести, 6 которая пришла и к вам. Эта Весть распространяется и приносит плоды по всему миру, как и у вас с того дня, когда вы впервые услышали её и познали истину о благодати Всевышнего. 7 Вы узнали слово истины от Эпафраса, нашего любимого сотрудника, который верно служит Масеху ради вас[e]. 8 Он и рассказал нам о любви, которую дал вам Дух Всевышнего.
9 Поэтому, с тех пор как мы о вас впервые услышали, мы постоянно о вас молимся и просим, чтобы Всевышний дал вам знание Его воли, мудрость и духовное понимание. 10 Мы молимся о том, чтобы вы жили достойно Повелителя и во всём угождали Ему, постоянно совершая добрые дела и всё больше узнавая Всевышнего, 11 чтобы вы укреплялись через Его силу и величие, становясь выносливыми, терпеливыми и радостными. 12 Благодарите Небесного Отца, Который сделал вас достойными получить часть в наследии Своего святого народа в Царстве света. 13 Он избавил нас от власти тьмы и ввёл нас в Царство Своего любимого (вечного) Сына, 14 через жертвенную смерть Которого мы обрели искупление, прощение грехов.
Исо Масех превыше всего творения
15 Он в Самом Себе открывает нам невидимого Бога,[f] и Он превыше[g] всего творения. 16 Через Него было сотворено всё на небе и на земле, всё видимое и невидимое: будь то престолы, господства, начальства или власти – всё было сотворено через Него и для Него. 17 Ещё до того, как всё было сотворено, Он уже существовал, и всё творение держится благодаря Ему. 18 Он – глава тела, то есть вселенской общины Его последователей[h]; Он начало всего, первый среди воскресших из мёртвых[i], чтобы во всём иметь первенство. 19 Всевышнему было угодно, чтобы в Масехе обитала вся полнота Всевышнего, 20 и чтобы через Него примирить с Собою всё, заключив благодаря Его крови, пролитой на кресте, мир со всем, что на небесах и на земле.
21 Когда-то вы были далеки от Всевышнего и враждебны Ему в своём разуме, направленном на злые дела. 22 Но сейчас Всевышний примирил вас с Собой через жертвенную смерть Масеха, когда Тот был ещё в Своём земном теле. Он поставит вас перед Собою как святых и непорочных, и не заслуживающих упрёка. 23 Но только вы должны стоять на твёрдом основании веры и не изменять надежде, которую вам дала услышанная вами Радостная Весть, возвещённая всем живущим под небесами. А я, Павлус, – служитель этой Радостной Вести.
Жертвенное служение Павлуса общинам верующих
24 Теперь я радуюсь в моих страданиях за вас. Я в своём теле восполняю ту меру страданий Масеха, которая предназначена мне, ради Его тела, то есть ради вселенской общины Его последователей. 25 Я стал её служителем по поручению Всевышнего, чтобы представить вам во всей полноте Его слово, 26 которое оставалось тайной для людей из века в век и из поколения в поколение, а сейчас оно открывается Его святому народу. 27 Всевышний захотел открыть им, как велико и для язычников богатство славы этой тайны, которая заключается в том, что Масех живёт в вас, верующих из язычников! Он ваша надежда на будущую славу!
28 Мы возвещаем о Нём, наставляя и уча каждого человека. Мы используем всю мудрость, которую дал нам Всевышний, чтобы сделать каждого зрелым последователем Масеха. 29 Ради этого я, собственно, и тружусь, и борюсь, применяя силу, исходящую от Него, которая мощно действует во мне.
Footnotes
- Кол 1:1 Масех (переводится как «Помазанник») – праведный Царь и Освободитель, Спаситель, обещанный Всевышним ещё в Тавроте, Забуре и Книге Пророков.
- Кол 1:2 Мир вам – на еврейском языке это выражение звучит как «шалом алейхем» и является родственным арабскому приветствию «ассаламу алейкум».
- Кол 1:2 В некоторых рукописях присутствуют слова: «и от Повелителя Исо Масеха».
- Кол 1:3 То, что Всевышний назван Отцом Исо Масеха, не означает, что у Всевышнего есть сын, который был зачат обычным путём. В древности, когда на иудейский престол восходил новый монарх, Всевышний называл его Своим сыном (см. Заб. 2:6-7), а значит, царь мог бы, в свою очередь, называть Всевышнего своим Отцом (см. 2 Цар. 7:14; Заб. 88:27). Ко времени Исо многие иудеи стали применять титул «Сын Всевышнего» по отношению к ожидаемому ими Масеху – Спасителю и Царю. Кроме того, термин «Отец Исо Масеха» говорит о вечных взаимоотношениях Всевышнего и Масеха, раскрывая сходство характеров и единство природы Этих Личностей, на понятном нам примере – близких взаимоотношениях отца и сына (см. 1 Ин. 2:23).
- Кол 1:7 Или: «ради нас».
- Кол 1:15 Букв.: «Он – образ невидимого Бога».
- Кол 1:15 Букв.: «первородный». Исо имеет особое положение в глазах Всевышнего, как первенцы имели особое положение в исроильской семье (ср. Исх. 13:2-15; Заб. 88:28). На языке оригинала слово, стоящее здесь, также означает «источник».
- Кол 1:18 Вселенская община последователей Масеха – имеется в виду совокупность всех последователей Исо Масеха: из всех народов и времён, ныне живые и уже умершие, пребывающие со Всевышним на небесах.
- Кол 1:18 Те немногие, кто был воскрешён до Исо (см., напр., 4 Цар. 4:18-37; Мк. 5:35-43; Ин. 11:38-44), вновь умерли, но Исо воскрес, чтобы жить вечно (ср. сноску на Отк. 1:5).
