This Epistle has been highly esteemed by several learned men of the church of Rome and others. The Quakers have printed a translation and plead for it, as the reader may see, by consulting Poole's Annotations on Col. vi. 16. Sixtus Senensis mentions two MSS., the one in the Sorbonne Library at Paris, which is a very ancient copy, and the other in the Library of Joannes a Viridario, at Padua, which he transcribed and published, and which is the authority for the following translation. There is a very old translation of this Epistle in the British Museum, among the Harleian MSS., Cod. 1212.

1. Ka Episetole a Paulo ka lunaolelo i ko Laodikeia
MOKUNA 1
1 ¶ O Paulo ka lunaolelo, aole na kanaka, aole na kanaka, aka, ma o Iesu Kristo la,
i na hoahanau ma Laodikeia.
2 No oukou ke aloha a me ka malu, mai ke Akua ka Makua mai, a me ko kakou
Haku o Iesu Kristo.
3 Ke hoʻomaikaʻi aku nei au iā Kristo i kaʻu pule a pau, i hoʻomau ʻoukou a
hoʻomau i nā hana maikaʻi e kali ana i ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia mai i ka lā hoʻokolokolo.
4 Mai hoohihia ia oukou ka poe hookahuli i ka olelo oiaio, i hoohuli ae lakou ia
oukou mai ka oiaio aku o ka euanelio a'u i hai aku ai.
5 Ano, na ke Akua e haawi mai, i loaa i ko'u poe hoohulihia ka ike hemolele i ka
oiaio o ka Euanelio, e lokomaikai, a e hana i na hana maikai e pili ana i ke ola.
6 Ano, ua akaka ia ko'u paa ana a'u i eha iloko o Kristo, i mea e hauoli ai au a e
hauoli ai.
7 No ka mea, ua ike au e lilo ana keia i ola mau loa, ma ka oukou pule, a me ka
haawi ana mai o ka Uhane Hemolele.
8 Ina e ola au, a i make paha; no ka mea, no'u ke ola, he ola ia no Kristo, o ka make,
he olioli ia.
9 A e haawi mai ko kakou Haku i kona aloha ia kakou, i loaa ia oukou ke aloha
hookahi, a i lokahi ko oukou manao.
10 Nolaila, e ka'u poe aloha, e like me oukou i lohe ai i ka hiki ana mai o ka Haku,
pela e manao ai a e hana me ka makau, a e lilo ia no oukou ke ola mau loa;
11 No ka mea, o ke Akua ka mea e hana ana iloko o oukou;
12 E hana oe i na mea a pau me ka hewa ole.
13 ¶ A ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa, e nā mea aloha, e ʻoliʻoli ʻoukou i ka Haku iā Iesū
Kristo, a e pale aku i ka waiwai haumia a pau.
14 E hoike aku i ko oukou makemake a pau i ke Akua, a e kupaa oukou ma ke ao
ana a Kristo.
15 A ʻo nā mea pono a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, a me nā mea i ʻike maikaʻi ʻia, a me nā mea
maʻemaʻe, a me nā mea pono, a me nā mea nani, e hana ʻoe i kēia mau mea.
16 O na mea a oukou i lohe ai, ai loaa hoi, e noonoo oukou ia mau mea, a e malu
auanei oukou.
17 Ke uwe aku nei na haipule a pau ia oukou.
18 O ke aloha o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo me ko oukou uhane. Amene.
19 E heluhelu i keia episetole i ko Kolosa, a e heluhelu hoi i ka episetole a ko
Kolosa iwaena o oukou.
