Colossians 2
1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have had for you, for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh.
Ndinoda kuti muzive kuti ndiri kurwa sei pamusoro penyu nepaavo vari paRaodhikea, navose vasina kuonana neni pachangu.
2 I work so that their hearts may be encouraged by being brought together in love and into all the riches of full assurance of understanding, into the knowledge of the secret truth of God, that is, Christ.
Vavariro yangu ndeyokuti vakurudzirwe mumwoyo uye vabatane murudo, kuitira kuti vave nepfuma izere yokunzwisisa kwakakwana, kuti vagoziva chakavanzika chaMwari, iye Kristu,
3 In him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
maari ndimo makachengetwa pfuma yose youchenjeri nokuziva.
4 I say this so that no one may trick you with persuasive speech.
Ndinokuudzai izvi kuitira kuti parege kuva nomunhu anokunyengerai namashoko anobata kumeso.
5 Although I am not with you in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit. I rejoice to see your good order and the strength of your faith in Christ.
Nokuti kunyange ndisipo pamuri panyama, mumweya ndinemi uye ndinofara ndichiona kuti mugere zvakanaka sei uye kuti makasimba sei mukutenda kwenyu muna Kristu.
6 As you received Christ the Lord, walk in him.
Saka zvino, sezvamakagamuchira Kristu Jesu saShe, rambai muchifamba maari,
7 Be rooted in him, be built on him, be established in faith just as you were taught, and abound in thanksgiving.
mune midzi uye makavakwa maari, makasimbiswa mukutenda sezvamakadzidziswa, uye muzere nokuvonga.
8 See that no one captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, conforming to the elements of the world, and not conforming to Christ.
Muone kuti parege kuva nomunhu anokutapai nokutaura kusina maturo kunonyengera, kunosendamira patsika dzavanhu nezvokuvamba kwenyika ino, asingateveri Kristu.
9 For in him all the fullness of God lives in bodily form.
Nokuti muna Kristu kuzara kwouMwari kunogara maari pamuviri,
10 You have been filled in him, who is the head over every power and authority.
nemiwo makapiwa kuzara uku muna Kristu, iye ari pamusoro poushe hwose nesimba.
11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not done by humans in the removal of the body of flesh, but in the circumcision of Christ.
Nemiwo makadzingiswa maari, mukubviswa kwomunhu wezvivi, kwete nokudzingiswa kunoitwa namaoko avanhu, asi nokudzingiswa kunoitwa naKristu,
12 You were buried with him in baptism, and in him you were raised up through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
makavigwa pamwe chete mukubhabhatidzwa uye mukamutswa pamwe chete naye nokutenda kwenyu musimba raMwari, akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa.
13 When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him and forgave us all of our trespasses.
Pamakanga makafa muzvivi zvenyu uye nokusadzingiswa kwomunhu wenyu wekare, Mwari akakuitai vapenyu muna Kristu. Akatikanganwira zvivi zvedu zvose,
14 He canceled the written record of debts that stood against us with its regulations. He took it away by nailing it to the cross.
akadzima mutemo wakanyorwa, nezvirevo zvawo, uyo wakanga uchirwa nesu uye waimira uchipikisana nesu; akaubvisa, achiuroverera pamuchinjikwa.
15 He disarmed the powers and authorities and made a public spectacle of them, by being victorious over them by the cross.
Uye akati abvisa ushe namasimba, akazvibudisa pachena, akazvikunda nomuchinjikwa.
16 So then, let no one judge you in eating or in drinking, or about a feast day or a new moon, or about Sabbath days.
Naizvozvo ngakurege kuva nomunhu anokutongai pamusoro pezvamunodya kana kunwa, kana nezvemitambo yechitendero, kupemberera Kugara kwoMwedzi kana zuva reSabata.
17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance is Christ.
Izvi mumvuri wezvinhu zvaizouya, kunyange zvakadaro, chokwadi chinowanikwa muna Kristu.
18 Let no one who wants humility and the worship of angels judge you out of your prize. Such a person enters into the things he has seen and becomes puffed up by his fleshly thinking.
Musarega munhu upi zvake anofarira kuzvininipisa kwenhema uye kunamata vatumwa achikutorerai mubayiro wenyu. Munhu akadaro anorondedzera zvikuru pamusoro pezvaakaona, uye nokufunga kwake kwenyama anozvikudza pasina.
19 He does not hold on to the head. It is from the head that the whole body throughout its joints and ligaments is supplied and held together; it grows with the growth given by God.
Akarasika kubva paMusoro, uyo kubva pauri muviri wose, wakasimbiswa uye wakabatanidzwa pamwe chete nemitezo yawo namarunda, unokura sezvinoda Mwari.
20 If you died together with Christ to the elements of the world, why do you live as obligated to the world:
Sezvo makafa pamwe chete naKristu kune mitemo yenyika ino, seiko muchiita kunge muchiri vayo, muchizviisa pasi pemitemo yayo inoti:
21 “Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”?
“Usabata! Usaravira! Usagunzva!”?
22 All these things will perish with use, according to the instructions and teachings of men.
Izvi zvose zvichaparadzwa nokubata kwazvo, nokuti zvakavakwa pamirayiro yavanhu nokudzidzisa kwavanhu.
23 These rules have the wisdom of self-made religion and humility and severity of the body. But they have no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Zvirokwazvo mitemo yakadai inoita seino uchenjeri, nokunamata kwavo kwokuzvipa, kuzvininipisa kwavo kwenhema uye nokurwadzisa kwavo muviri, asi zvisingagoni kudzivisa kuchiva kwomuviri.
