Colossians 2
1 For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Nkambo ndiyanda kuti muzibe bupati bwamapenzi ngindakajana aandinywe, nkambo kabaabo baliku Layodisiya, abaabo bakatakonzya kubona busyu bwangu munyama.
2 that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,
Ndilabeleka kuchitila kuti myoyo yabo isungwazike akambo kakwetwa antomwe muluyando alubo amuliboonse buvubi buzwide kanzambwenene akumvwisisisya, nsiswa zya Leza, izili Kkilisito.
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
Mulinguwe boonse buvubi bwabusongo aluzibo muzisisidwe.
4 Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
Ndaamba echi kuchitila kuti takwepe anaba umwi ukonzya kumwena amakani akumuyunga.
5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
Nikuba nsili andinywe munyama, ndili andinywe mumuuya. Ndilabotelwa kubona kubamba obotu anguzu zyalusyomo lwenu muli Kkilisito.
6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Mbuli mbumwakatambula Kkilisito Mwami, amweenda mulinguwe.
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
Amukabyalwe muzyandamikwe mulinguwe, mukayakwe alinguwe, mukasimpikwe mulusyomo mbuli mbumwakayiisigwa, aakufwasuka mukulumba.
8 Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after Christ.
Amubone kuti kutabi naba omwe umuyunga kukwamba makani alweno ataawo, kaziyendelana atunsiya-nsiya twabantu, azwa kuzilenge zyaansi atazwi kuli Kkilisito.
9 For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
Nkambo mulinguwe boonse buzwide bwa Leza mubuponi muchiimo chamubili.
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
Alimwi mulazuzigwa mulinguwe. Ngomutwe wanguzu zyonse abwendelezi.
11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ,
Mulinguwe mumwakapalulwa abupalulwe butachitwi abantu mukugwisya nyama yamubili, Pesi mubupalulwe bwa Kkilisito.
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
Mwakazikwa anguwe mulubbabbatizyo, amulinguwe mwakabusigwa mukwindila mulusyomo lwanguzu zya Leza, oyo wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu.
13 You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
Nimwakafwide muzibi zyenu animwakatapalwidwe kunyama zyenu, wakamuchita kuti mupone antomwe anguwe akutulekelela zibi zyesu.
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
Wakazima makani abubi ayiminina andiswe amalayilile awo. Wakachigwisya akuchigankamina achingaano.
15 Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Wakasamununa bendelezi abasibwami akubachitya kufwa bweme, akubazunda bo achingano.
16 Let no one therefore judge you in eating or drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
Akambo kaboobo, kutabi naba umwi umubeteka mukulya nimuba mukunywa, nikuba kumazuba amapobwe nanka amweezi mupya, nikuba kumazuba a Sabata.
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
Eezi mwenzule wazintu zichiza, pesi mubili mwini ngu Kkilisito.
18 Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Kutabi naba umwi uyanda kulifwinsya akukomba baangelo umubeteka kuzwa kumpindu yenu. Oyo muntu uliboobu ulanjila muzintu nzyakabona akuba mbwapekezya katakwe anchachitila mumiyeyo yanyama zyakwe.
19 and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God’s growth.
Tajisilidi kumutwe, nkuuzwa kumutwe mubili woonse nkujisilidi mungo amilambi yoonse nkwijisini amwi; ilakomena akukomena kupegwa a Leza.
20 If you died with Christ from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
Kuti na mwakafwa aamwi a Kkilisito kuzilenge zyanyika, nkamboonzi muchipona kamuchibanga mulibe nyika:
21 “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
“Utagumi, nanka utalabili, nanka kujata”?
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
Zintu zyoonse ezi ziyoloba akubelesegwa, kazilangene kumalayilile anjiisyo zyabantu.
23 These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body, but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Eeyi milayizyo ilayubununa busongo, akulibombya beni akulibombya kweeta kusilikwa kwamibili yabo. Pesi tazijisi milimu yakutukasya kuzumina zichito zibi mumyoyo yesu.
