Kolosai 2
1 Ku nsoko ndoilwe mulinge iti niiza ntuile nu lwago lidu ku nsoko anyu, ku ihi niakoli ku Laodikia nu ku ihi naza akili kihenga u usu nuane mu muili.
For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 Kituma u mulimo iti kina nkolo niao ihume kupoligwa ku kuletwa palung'wi mu ulowa nu ku ugoli wihi nua widu nua kulu kuulu nikondile nua uhuguku, ku kuulinga i kinkunku nika tai ang'wa Itunda, naiza ingi uKristo.
that their hearts may be comforted, they being firmly united in love in order to gain all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may acknowledge the mystery of God, even the Father, and of Christ,
3 Mu ng'wenso matulyo ihi na upolo nu uhuguku upihilwe.
in whom are stored up all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
4 Kuligitya izi iti kina wihi waleke kumutendeela isue ku utanantyi nu ukete upembeseelyi.
Now I say this, that no one may deceive you by persuasive words.
5 Ni anga ize nimutili palung'wi nu nyenye mu muili, kuiti nkoli palung'wi nu nyenye mu nkolo. Ni loile kihenga i nzila nianyu ni nziza ni ngulu nia u huiili nuanyu mung'wa Kristo.
For, though I am absent in flesh, yet I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing to behold your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
6 Anga nai mu musingiiye uKristo Mukulu, gendi mu ng'wenso.
As, therefore, you received Christ Jesus our Lord, so walk in him,
7 Mukomigwe mu ng'wenso, muzengwe mu ng'wenso, mukomigwe mu uhuiili anga udu nai mumanyisigwe, nu kutungwa mi imbiilyo lidu.
rooted, and built up in him, and strengthened in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Gozeeli nia kina muntu wihi aleke kumuambya ku ulingi ni nkani ntili nia ukongeli kuniganiila nu usingiilya nua kibina adamu, kuniganiila ni ntendo nia kinya ingu, shanga kuniganiila nu Kristo.
See that no one make you the victims of imposture by means of philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ:
9 Kunsoko mu ng'wenso ukondaniili wihi nuang'wa Itunda wikiie mu muili.
for in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhood bodily.
10 Nu nyenye mizuigwe mu ng'wenso, uNg'wenso ingi itwe nila kila uhumi nu unyangulu.
And you are complete in him who is the head of all principality and authority:
11 Mu ng'wenso ga ai mutwawe kidamu ni shanga kitung'wa nu bina adamu mu kuhegeligwa muili nua nyama, kuiti ingi mu kidamu nikang'wa Kristo.
in whom you have been also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
12 Ai muikilwe palung'wi nu ng'wenso mu wogigwa. Nu kunzila a uhuiili mu ng'wenso ai miukigwe ku uhumi nuang'wa Itunda, Nai umiukilye kupuma muashi.
when you were buried with him in immersion, in which you were also raised with him by your faith in the energy of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 Hangi nai matulaa makuza mu utumuli nuanyu nu kuhita kutalwa i kidamu mu miili anyu, ai umitumile apanga palung'wi nu ng'wenso nu ku ulekela i milandu itu ihi.
And you, being dead to your offenses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has made alive together with him, having forgiven you all your offenses;
14 Ai uputile u ukimbukiilyi nua udaigwa nai ukilisigwe, ni nzila nai yatulaa nsuta nu sese. Ai uihegilye yihi nu kuikononteela mi ikota ila mpaga.
having blotted out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us, which was opposed to us, he also took it out of the way, driving a nail through it by means of his cross;
15 Ai uihegilye i ngulu nu ukulu. Ai umaikile kihenga nu kituma kutula ilumbi nula ukilyi ku nzila a ikota nila mpaga nilakwe.
and having spoiled the principalities and authorities, he made a show of them openly by triumphing over them through it.
16 Ku lulo, muntu wihi waleke kumulamula unyenye kulya ang'wi kung'wa, ang'wi kutula luhiku nula siku kuu ang'wi ng'weli ugeni, ang'wi luhiku nula kusupya.
Let no one judge you, therefore, in meat or in drink, or in respect to a feast, or the new moon, or sabbaths,
17 Izi ingi miluli a makani napembilye, kuiti nikamukati ingi Kristo.
which things are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is in Christ,
18 Muntu nu tuile wihi aleke kuhegeligwa ilumbi nilakwe ku kuhung'wa nsula a uliuki nu kipoelya u malaika. Muntu nua kinya iti wingilaa mu makani naza umihengile nu kupembeseeligwa ni masigo akwe na muili.
Let no one gain his purpose in depriving you of the palm by an affected humility and worship of angels, prying into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 uNg'wenso shanga wiliambiila itwe. Ingi kupuma mu itwe kina u muili wihi kukiila nungo niakwe ni makupa ikinyinkanigwa nu kuambinkanigwa ku palung'wi; nu kukula ku ukuli nuipumigwaa nu Itunda.
and not holding the head, from which the whole body gathering vigor, and firmly united by joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.
20 Anga itule ai ku kule palung'wi nu Kristo ku ntendo nia mihi, mbona mu kikie anga mukitumigwa ku ihi;
If, then, you have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you submit to ordinances?
21 “Leki kuambi, ang'wi kululya, ang'wi ku kumpya”
Touch not, taste not, handle not,
22 Aya ihi alagiigwe ku nsoko a ubipya nu upembilye nu utumili, Kupumiila nu ulagiilwa nu umanyisigwa nua ana adamu.
(all of which are for the destruction of those who use them, ) according to the commandments and teachings of men;
23 Malagiilyo aya akete upolo nua makumbiko nazipigwe ku ing'wene nu uliuki nu lwago nula muili. Kuiti ngila anga nsailo ku nsula nia muili.
and these have a show of wisdom in will-worship and affected humility and neglect of the body, and in no regard for the gratification of the flesh.
