(Заⷱ҇ ©м҃ѳ҃.) Па́ѵелъ, а҆пⷭ҇лъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ во́лею бж҃їею, и҆ тїмоѳе́й бра́тъ,

¹

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

²

сꙋ́щымъ въ колосса́ехъ ст҃ы̑мъ и҆ вѣ̑рнымъ бра́тїѧмъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ:

²

to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ that are at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³

(Заⷱ҇.) блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ, и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀. Благодари́мъ бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, всегда̀ ѡ҆ ва́съ молѧ́щесѧ,

³

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

⁴

слы́шавше вѣ́рꙋ ва́шꙋ, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, и҆ любо́вь, ю҆́же и҆́мате ко всѣ̑мъ ст҃ы́мъ,

⁴

having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of your love toward all the saints,

⁵

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

⁵

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

⁶

сꙋ́щагѡ въ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ во все́мъ мі́рѣ: и҆ є҆́сть плодоно́сно и҆ расти́мо, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ въ ва́съ, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ слы́шасте и҆ разꙋмѣ́сте блгⷣть бж҃їю во и҆́стинѣ:

⁶

which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as it doth in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

⁷

ꙗ҆́коже и҆ оу҆вѣ́дѣсте ѿ є҆пафра́са, возлю́бленнагѡ сорабо́тника на́шегѡ, и҆́же є҆́сть вѣ́ренъ ѡ҆ ва́съ слꙋжи́тель хрⷭ҇то́въ,

⁷

even as ye also learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf,

⁸

и҆́же и҆ ꙗ҆вѝ на́мъ ва́шꙋ любо́вь въ дꙋ́сѣ.

⁸

who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

⁹

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆ мы̀, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ слы́шахомъ, не престае́мъ ѡ҆ ва́съ молѧ́щесѧ и҆ просѧ́ще, да и҆спо́лнитесѧ въ ра́зꙋмѣ во́ли є҆гѡ̀, во всѧ́цѣй премꙋ́дрости и҆ ра́зꙋмѣ дꙋхо́внѣмъ,

⁹

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

¹⁰

ꙗ҆́кѡ ходи́ти ва́мъ досто́инѣ бг҃ꙋ во всѧ́цѣмъ оу҆гожде́нїи (и҆) всѧ́цѣмъ дѣ́лѣ бла́зѣ, плодоносѧ́ще и҆ возраста́юще въ ра́зꙋмѣ бж҃їи,

¹⁰

that ye may walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

¹¹

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

¹¹

strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;

¹²

(Заⷱ҇ ©н҃.) благодарѧ́ще бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀, призва́вшаго ва́съ въ прича́стїе наслѣ́дїѧ ст҃ы́хъ во свѣ́тѣ,

¹²

giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;

¹³

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

¹³

who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

¹⁴

ѡ҆ не́мже и҆́мамы и҆збавле́нїе кро́вїю є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣ́хѡвъ,

¹⁴

in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:

¹⁵

и҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆́бразъ бг҃а неви́димагѡ, перворожде́нъ всеѧ̀ тва́ри:

¹⁵

who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

¹⁶

ꙗ҆́кѡ тѣ́мъ создана̑ бы́ша всѧ́чєскаѧ, ꙗ҆̀же на нб҃сѝ и҆ ꙗ҆̀же на землѝ, ви̑димаѧ и҆ неви̑димаѧ, а҆́ще престо́ли, а҆́ще госпѡ́дствїѧ, а҆́ще нача́ла, а҆́ще вла́сти: всѧ́чєскаѧ тѣ́мъ и҆ ѡ҆ не́мъ созда́шасѧ:

¹⁶

for by him were all things created, things in the heavens and things upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;

¹⁷

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

¹⁷

and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.

¹⁸

(Заⷱ҇ ©н҃а҃.) И҆ то́й є҆́сть глава̀ тѣ́лꙋ цр҃кве, и҆́же є҆́сть нача́токъ, перворожде́нъ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бꙋ́детъ во всѣ́хъ то́й пе́рвенствꙋѧ:

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 might have the preeminence.

¹⁹

ꙗ҆́кѡ въ не́мъ благоизво́ли всемꙋ̀ и҆сполне́нїю всели́тисѧ,

¹⁹

For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fullness dwell;

²⁰

и҆ тѣ́мъ примири́ти всѧ́чєскаѧ къ себѣ̀, оу҆миротвори́въ кро́вїю крⷭ҇та̀ є҆гѡ̀, чрез̾ него̀, а҆́ще земна̑ѧ, а҆́ще ли нбⷭ҇наѧ.

²⁰

and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.

²¹

И҆ ва́съ, и҆ногда̀ сꙋ́щихъ ѿчꙋжде́нныхъ и҆ врагѡ́въ помышле́ньми въ дѣ́лѣхъ лꙋка́выхъ,

²¹

And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

²²

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

²²

yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreprovable before him:

²³

а҆́ще оу҆̀бо пребыва́ете въ вѣ́рѣ ѡ҆снова́ни и҆ тве́рди, и҆ неподви́жими ѿ оу҆пова́нїѧ бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ, є҆́же слы́шасте, проповѣ́данное все́й тва́ри поднебе́снѣй, є҆мꙋ́же бы́хъ а҆́зъ па́ѵелъ слꙋжи́тель.

²³

if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.

²⁴

(Заⷱ҇ ©н҃в҃.) Нн҃ѣ ра́дꙋюсѧ во страда́нїихъ мои́хъ ѡ҆ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆сполнѧ́ю лише́нїе скорбе́й хрⷭ҇то́выхъ во пло́ти мое́й за тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀, є҆́же є҆́сть цр҃ковь,

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 church;

²⁵

є҆́йже бы́хъ а҆́зъ слꙋжи́тель по смотре́нїю бж҃їю, да́нномꙋ мнѣ̀ въ ва́съ, и҆спо́лнити сло́во бж҃їе,

²⁵

whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfill the word of God,

²⁶

та́йнꙋ сокрове́ннꙋю ѿ вѣ̑къ и҆ ѿ родѡ́въ: нн҃ѣ же ꙗ҆ви́сѧ ст҃ы́мъ є҆гѡ̀,

²⁶

even the mystery which hath been hidden for ages and generations: but now hath been manifested to his saints,

²⁷

и҆̀мже восхотѣ̀ бг҃ъ сказа́ти, ко́е бога́тство сла́вы та́йны сеѧ̀ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, и҆́же є҆́сть хрⷭ҇то́съ въ ва́съ, оу҆пова́нїе сла́вы,

²⁷

to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

²⁸

є҆го́же мы̀ проповѣ́дꙋемъ, наказꙋ́юще всѧ́каго человѣ́ка и҆ оу҆ча́ще всѧ́цѣй премꙋ́дрости, да предста́вимъ всѧ́каго человѣ́ка соверше́нна ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ:

²⁸

whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

²⁹

въ не́мже и҆ трꙋжда́юсѧ и҆ подвиза́юсѧ по дѣ́йствꙋ є҆гѡ̀ дѣ́йствꙋемомꙋ во мнѣ̀ си́лою.

²⁹

whereunto I labor also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
