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;
Hočem namreč, da veste, kako hud boj imam zaradi vas, in njih, ki so v Laodiceji, in vse, kateri niso videli obličja mojegu v mesu,
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,
Da se potolažijo njih srca, združenih v ljubezni, in za vso bogastvo polnosti razuma, za spoznanje skrivnosti Boga in očeta in Kristusa,
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
V katerem so vsi zakladi modrosti in spoznanja skriti.
4 Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
To pa pravim, da vas kdo ne prevara sè sladko besedo;
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.
Kajti če sem tudi po mesu daleč, v duhu sem vendar z vami, radujoč se in gledajoč vašo rednost in trdnost vere vaše v Kristusa.
6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Kakor ste torej prejeli Kristusa Jezusa Gospoda, živite v njem;
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
Ukoreninjeni in sezidani v njem in utrjeni v veri, kakor ste se učili, rastoč v njej v zahvaljevanji.
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.
Glejte, da vas kdo ne zapleni z modrijanstvom in prazno prevaro, po izročilu človeškem, po prvinah sveta in ne po Kristusu;
9 For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
Ker v njem biva vsa polnost božanstva telesno,
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
In v njem ste napolnjeni, kateri je glava vsakega gospostva in oblasti;
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,
V katerem ste bili tudi obrezani z obrezo ne storjeno z rokami, ko ste slekli telo mesnih grehov v obrezi Kristusovi;
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.
Vred pokopani z njim v krstu, v katerem ste bili tudi vred zbujeni po veri kreposti Boga, kateri ga je zbudil izmed mrtvih.
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 vas, ki ste bili mrtvi v grehih in neobrezi mesa svojega, oživil je z njim vred, odpustivši vam vse grehe;
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
Izbrisavši rokopis, zoper nas, po postavah, ki je bil nam nasproten, in tega je odpravil, pribivši ga sè žeblji na križ;
15 Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Ter slekel je poglavarstva in oblasti, in postavil očitno na ogled slavno zmagavši jih v njem.
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,
Naj vas torej ne sodi kdo v jedi ali pijači, ali gledé praznika ali mlaja ali sobote,
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
Kar je prihodnjega senca, telo pa Kristusovo.
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,
Nihče naj vas ne prekani hoteč v ponižnosti in čaščenji angelov, ko se peča s tem, česar ni videl, ker ga za nič napihuje mesno čustvo njegovo,
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.
In ker se ne drži glave, iz česar vse telo po členovji in vezéh podpirano in zvezano raste v rasti Božji.
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,
Če ste torej umrli s Kristusom prvinam sveta, kaj se vam, kakor da bi v svetu živeli, dajó postave:
21 “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
("Ne dotakni se, in ne pokusi, in ne potipaj!"
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
Kar je vse v pogubo po zlorabi), poleg zapovedi in ukov človeških,
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.
Kar je sicer na videz modrost v samovoljni službi Božji in ponižnosti in neprizanesljivosti proti telesu, v nobenem čislu za napolnjenje mesa."
