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;
Nga ke kowos in etu lupan kwafe luk keiwos ac ke mwet lulalfongi in acn Laodicea, ac oayapa kaclos nukewa su nga soenna sonolos.
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,
Nga oru ma inge in akkeye insialos, ac in akfototoyalos nu sin sie sin sie ke lungse, tuh elos fah ku in arulana lulalfongi ke sripen etauk lalos ke ma pwaye. In ouiya se inge elos fah etu ma lukma lun God ma tia eteyuk meet, su pa kacl Christ sifacna.
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
El na pa ku in ikasla kalmen etauk ac lalmwetmet nukewa lun God, su oana sie ma saok wikinyukla meet.
4 Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
Ke ma inge nga fahk nu suwos, nikmet lela kutena mwet in kiapwekowosla ke kas in eyeinse lusrongten, finne wo srumunya selos.
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.
Tuh nga finne wangin yuruwos, a nga wi kowos na in ngun. Ac nga engan ke nga lohng ke asruoki wo lowos, pwanang kowos tu na ku in lulalfongi lowos in Christ.
6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Ke sripen kowos eis tari Christ Jesus tuh elan Leum lowos, kowos in moul in ma sefanna nu sel.
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
Kowos in okala ac kapkapak in el, ac musaeak moul lowos an facl, ac akkeye lulalfongi lowos an oana ke lutiyuk nu suwos, ac kowos in sessesla in sang kulo.
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.
Ke ma inge, kowos in arulana liyaung tuh wangin mwet in akkohsye kowos nu ke kutena lalmwetmet kikiap lun mwet, su elos eis ke sramsram matu lusrongten lun fwil somla ac liki ngun koluk ma leumi faclu ac yen engyeng uh, ac tia ma sin Christ.
9 For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
Tuh ouiya mutal ac ma pwaye nukewa lun God kalem in Christ, ke el moul in mwet lac.
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
Ac kw kowos fungyang nu sel, itukot nu suwos moul pwaye. El leum fin ku ac wal nukewa lun ngun.
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,
Ke kowos kupasryang nu sin Christ, kowos kosreyukla, tia ke kosrala ma orek sin mwet, a ke kosrala lun Christ, su aksukosokyekowosla liki ku lun lung koluk ma oan in mano se inge.
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.
Mweyen ke kowos baptaisla, kowos wi Christ pukpuki ac kowos oayapa akmoulyeyukyak yurin Christ, ke sripen lulalfongi lowos ke ku lun God, su akmoulyalak liki misa.
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,
In pacl meet ah, kowos misa in ngun ke sripen ma koluk lowos, ac mweyen kowos mwet pegan su muta sayen Ma Sap. Tusruktu God El akmoulyekowosyak yurin Christ. God El nunak munas nu sesr nukewa ke ma koluk lasr.
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
El sacla ma simla in akkalemye soemoul lasr, oayapa oakwuk lun ma sap ma lain kut, ac patikya ma inge nu ke sakseng.
15 Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Fin sakseng soko ah, Christ el sifacna aksukosokyalla liki ku ac wal nukewa lun ngun koluk yen engyeng uh, ac oru tuh elos in sie mwe intoe ke elos takla fahsr tokol oana mwet sruoh ke el akkalemye kutangla lal.
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,
Ke ma inge, nik kowos lela kutena mwet in oakiya ma sap nu suwos ke ma kowos in kang ku nim, ku nu ke Kufwen Malem Sasu, ku ke len Sabbath, ku kutena len mutal saya.
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
Kain inge nukewa ngunnguninna ma su ac fah tuku in pacl tok uh. Ma sefanna ma pwaye uh pa Christ.
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,
Nikmet lela kutena mwet in akkolukye kowos ke el sifacna fahk mu el fulat mweyen el liye aruruma, ac el sapkin tuh mwet uh in oru lumahlos in pusisel ac alu nu sin lipufan uh. Mwet ouinge inse fulat ke wangin.
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.
El tila kupasr nu sin Christ, su sifen mano. Ye ku lun Christ, mano nufon se inge kiteyuk, ac kupasr ac alko nukewa kupasreni wo ac kapkapak fal nu ke lungse lun God.
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,
Kowos wi Christ misa, na kowos sukosokla liki ku lun ngun koluk ma leumi faclu ac yen engyeng uh. Fin ouinge, efu ku kowos moul oana kowos in ma lun faclu? Efu ku kowos akos kain in ma sap su fahk,
21 “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
“Nimet sruok ma se inge,” ku “Nimet ema ma se ingan,” ku “Nimet kahl ma se ingo”?
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
Oakwuk inge nukewa fin orekmakinyukla tari na wanginla sripa. Ma sap inge ac mwe luti inge ma na mwet oru.
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.
Aok, kutu mwet uh nunku mu kain oakwuk inge orekla ke lalmwetmet, ma fahk mu in alu nu sin lipufan uh, ac oru lumahlos in pusisel, ku akkeokye manolos sifacna. Tusruktu wangin na pwaye sripen ma inge in sang kutongya ma lungse lun ikwa.
