Colossians 2
1 For I want you to know the kind of solicitude that I have for you, and for those who are at Laodicea, as well as for those who have not seen my face in the flesh.
PORQUE quiero que sepais cuan gran solicitud tengo por vosotros, y [por] los [que están] en Laodicéa, y [por] todos los que nunca vieron mi rostro en carne,
2 May their hearts be consoled and instructed in charity, with all the riches of a plenitude of understanding, with knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus.
Para que sean confortados sus corazones, unidos en amor, y en todas riquezas de cumplido entendimiento, para conocer el misterio de Dios, y del Padre, y de Cristo;
3 For in him are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
En el cual están escondidos todos los tesoros de sabiduría y conocimiento.
4 Now I say this, so that no one may deceive you with grandiose words.
Y esto digo, para que nadie os engañe con palabras persuasivas.
5 For though I may be absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit. And I rejoice as I gaze upon your order and its foundation, which is in Christ, your faith.
Porque aunque estoy ausente con el cuerpo, no obstante con el espíritu estoy con vosotros, gozándome y mirando vuestro concierto, y la firmeza de vuestra fé en Cristo.
6 Therefore, just as you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, walk in him.
Por tanto de la manera que habeis recibido al Señor Jesu-Cristo, andad en él:
7 Be rooted and continually built up in Christ. And be confirmed in the faith, just as you have also learned it, increasing in him with acts of thanksgiving.
Arraigados y sobreedificados en él, y confirmados en la fé, así como [lo] habeis aprendido, creciendo en ella con hacimiento de gracias.
8 See to it that no one deceives you through philosophy and empty falsehoods, as found in the traditions of men, in accord with the influences of the world, and not in accord with Christ.
Mirad que ninguno os engañe por filosofías, y vanas sutilezas, segun las tradiciones de los hombres, conforme á los elementos del mundo, y no segun Cristo.
9 For in him, all the fullness of the Divine Nature dwells bodily.
Porque en él habita toda la plenitud de la Divinidad corporalmente:
10 And in him, you have been filled; for he is the head of all principality and power.
Y en él estais cumplidos, el cual es la cabeza de todo principado y potestad:
11 In him also, you have been circumcised with a circumcision not made by hand, not by the despoiling of the body of flesh, but by the circumcision of Christ.
En el cual tambien sois circuncidados de circuncision, no hecha con manos, con el despojamiento del cuerpo de los pecados de la carne en la circuncision de Cristo:
12 You have been buried with him in baptism. In him also, you have risen again through faith, by the work of God, who raised him up from the dead.
Sepultados juntamente con él en el bautismo, en el cual tambien resucitasteis con [él, ] por la fe de la operacion de Dios que le levantó de los muertos.
13 And when you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he enlivened you, together with him, forgiving you of all transgressions,
Y á vosotros, estando muertos en pecados y [en] la incircuncision de vuestra carne, os vivifico juntamente con él, perdonándoos todos los pecados,
14 and wiping away the handwriting of the decree which was against us, which was contrary to us. And he has taken this away from your midst, affixing it to the Cross.
Rayendo la cédula de los ritos que nos era contraria, que era contra nosotros, quitándola de en medio y enclavándola en la cruz;
15 And so, despoiling principalities and powers, he has led them away confidently and openly, triumphing over them in himself.
Y despojando los principados y las potestades, sacólos á la vergüenza en público, triunfando de ellos en sí mismo.
16 Therefore, let no one judge you as concerns food or drink, or a particular feast day, or feast days of new moons, or of Sabbaths.
Por tanto nadie os juzgue en comida, ó en bebida, ó en parte de dia de fiesta, ó de nueva luna, ó de Sábados:
17 For these are a shadow of the future, but the body is of Christ.
Lo cual es la sombra de lo [que estaba] por venir; mas el cuerpo [es] de Cristo.
18 Let no one seduce you, preferring base things and a religion of Angels, walking according to what he has not seen, being vainly inflated by the sensations of his flesh,
Nadie os prive de vuestro premio, afectando humildad y culto á los ángeles, metiéndose en lo que no ha visto, vanamente hinchado en el sentido de su propia carne,
19 and not holding up the head, with which the whole body, by its underlying joints and ligaments, is joined together and grows with an increase that is of God.
Y no teniendo la Cabeza, de la cual todo el cuerpo, alimentado y conjunto por [sus] ligaduras y conjunturas, crece en aumento de Dios.
20 So then, if you have died with Christ to the influences of this world, why do you still make decisions as if you were living in the world?
Pues si sois muertos con Cristo cuanto á los rudimentos del mundo, ¿por qué, como si vivieseis al mundo, os someteis á ordenanzas,
21 Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle these things,
[Tales como] no manejes, ni gustes, ni aun toques,
22 which all lead to destruction by their very use, in accord with the precepts and doctrines of men.
(Las cuales cosas son todas para destruccion en el uso [mismo, ]) en conformidad á mandamientos y doctrinas de hombres?
23 Such ideas have at least an intention to attain to wisdom, but through superstition and debasement, not sparing the body, and they are without any honor in satiating the flesh.
Tales cosas tienen á la verdad cierta reputacion de sabiduría en culto voluntario, y humildad, y en duro trato del cuerpo; no en alguna honra para el saciar de la carne.
