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;
Nigana mmanyai chanihenga lihengu chakukangamala ndava yinu, ndava ya vandu va Laodikea na ndava ya vandu voha vevangakonganeka na nene.
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,
Nikita chenichi muni kwa kuvakangamalisa mitima kangi kuletwa pamonga muuganu muni mumemeswa mota za kumanya uchakaka. Muni muhotola kumanya mambu gegafiyiki na Chapanga, mambu ago ndi Kilisitu mwene.
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
Mugati yaki mwene vifiyiki vindu vyamahele na luhala na umanya wa Chapanga.
4 Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
Hinu, nikuvajovela, mkoto kuyidikila kukongwa na mundu yoyoha kwa malovi ga udese hati ngati ga kuchenjela.
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.
Muni, pamonga na nene kuvya patali na nyenye kwa higa, nambu nivili pamonga na nyenye mumtima, ukuvaholalela neju, na niheka kulola mambu ginu chegihamba bwina na kuyima musadika yinu kwa Kilisitu.
6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Muni nyenye mumyidikili Yesu Kilisitu mweavili Bambu, muyendelela kutama mukuwungana nayu.
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
Muyendelela kumsadika ngati kusopa mikiga mugati yaki na kuujenga wumi waki na kuvya kuyima mukukangamala musadika ngati chamwawuliwi. Mvya vandu vakusengusa.
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.
Mlola, hinu, mundu akotoka kuvayagisa kwa kuvakonga muluhala lwa chimundu wewihuma mumawuliwu ga vandu vevapewili na vagogo vavi na mizuka yeyilongosa pamulima, na lepi Kilisitu mwene!
9 For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
Muni, mugati ya Kilisitu umundu waki, uvi utimilifu woha wa Chapanga,
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
na nyenye mpewili wumi weudandasiki mukuwungana Kilisitu. Mwene avi na uhotola panani ya mizuka yoha na vakulu voha.
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,
Mukuwungana na Kilisitu nyenye mwadumwili jandu, nambu lepi yeyikitiwa na vandu, ndi yeyikitiwa na Kilisitu mwene. Na yeniyo ndi lihengu la kuvagombola vandu kuhuma mnogo wavi uhakau wewavelikwi nawu mukumbudila Chapanga.
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.
Muni pemwabatizwi mwazikiwi pamonga na Kilisitu na mukubatiziwa kwenuko mweayukiswi kwa kusadika makakala ga Chapanga gegamuyukisi Kilisitu.
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,
Lukumbi lumonga mwavili ngati vandu mwemwafwili ndava ya kumbudila Chapanga, na kubela kudumuliwa jandu muhiga zinu, ndava ya mnogo winu uhakau wemwavelekiwi nawu wavili wakona kuwusiwa. Nambu hinu Chapanga avapelili nyenye wumi pamonga na Kilisitu. Chapanga atilekekekisi kumbudila chapanga kwoha.
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
Awusili kutali balua yeyayandiki uhakau witu. Hati yeniyo ya malagizu gaki ndi Chapanga ngalihengili mukutihamula ndi ayiwusili chakaka kwa kuyigongomela pamsalaba.
15 Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Penapo pamsalaba Kilisitu avanyagili makakala gavi mizuka yeyitalalila na vakulu, avakitili kuvya chindu cha kuvapela soni palongolo ya vandu kuvalundusa ngati vandu vevakamuliwi kungondo kulangisa avahotwili.
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,
Hinu ndi, mkoto kuyidakila kupewa malagizu na mundu yoyoha kuvala vyakulya na mnyweso, ligono la mselebuko, amala kukamulila mvelu wa ligono la mselebuko, kuvandama kwa mwehi amala Ligono la Kupumulila.
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
Mambu ngati ago ndi chimuwili cha gala gegibwela, uchakaka wene wa mambu goha ndi Kilisitu.
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,
Mkoto kuyidakila kuhamuliwa na mundu yoyoha mwakujikita kuvya wabwina kwa gala geakugawona na kugahololela ngamwene na kukangamala ungolongondi wa udese na kumuyupa mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Mundu mwenuyo muyimu ndava ya mahalo gaki gegakumkonga gegihuma kwa vandu,
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.
na alekili kujiwunga na Kilisitu mweavili mutu wa higa yeniyo. Kupitila Kilisitu higa yoha yisopewa makakala na yikamulini pamonga kwa viiwungu vyaki na misekete yaki, na vyene vikula ngati cheigana Chapanga.
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,
Nyenye mfwili pamonga na Kilisitu na kugombolewa mumakakala ga mizuka yeyilongosa mulima. Ndava kyani mwakona mwitama ngati vandu va mulima uwu? Ndava kyani myidakila malagizu ngati aga?
21 “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
“Mkoto kukamula ichi,” “Mkoto kumihyanga chila,” “Mkoto kupamisa chila!”
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
Mambu genago goha ndi ndava ya vindu vyavihalabika pevitumika ndu, genago ndi malagizu na mawuliwu ga vandu ndu.
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.
Chakaka, malagizu genago gilolekana kuvya ngati yina luhala munjila ya kumuyupa Chapanga yemukujikitila mwavene. Kukangamalisa ungolongondi na kuyilongosa higa kwa ukali, nambu yangali mana mukubesa mnogo wa higa.
