Colossians 2
1 Thidi luzaba phila yididi mvita yi ndieti nuanina mu diambu dieno, mu diambu di bobo badi ku Lawodise ayi mu diambu di bobo basiamona zizi kiama ko
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;
2 muingi mintima miawu miluta kindusu bu badi mu ithuadi mu luzolo ayikimvuama ki bu diela difuana di zabila mansueki ma Nzambi; Klisto niandi mansueki beni.
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 Messiah,
3 Kiuka kioso ki nzayilu ayi ki diela kisuamini mu niandi.
in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4 Thubidi bobo muingi mutu kabika ku luvukumuna mu mambu ma luvunu.
Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
5 Bila ka diambu ko thama ndidi ayi beno mu nsuni vayi mu phevendidi yeno va kimosi; ayi ndieti mona khini yiwombo mu mona ti lulembo wizana bumboti, ayi mu mona ti minu kieno kidi kikinda ngolo mu Klisto.
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 Messiah.
6 Diawu, sumbu lutambudila Klisto Yesu banga Pfumu, buna bika ludiatila mu niandi.
As therefore you received Messiah Yeshua the Lord, walk in him,
7 Lumena mianzi ayi lutungu mu niandi; lukindusu mu minu boso buididimalongi lulongo ayi luzaba vutulanga matondo mawombo.
rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
8 Lukeba mu diambu mutu kabika ku lubuila, mu malongi ma luvunuayi maphamba ma batu boso buididi kikhulu ki batu ayi ziphevi zindiatisanga nza yayi bika boso buididi Klisto.
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 Messiah.
9 Bila mu nitu andi, mu niandi muidi kinzambi kioso
For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
10 ayi beno kinzambi kieno kidi mu niandi; niandi ntu wu kikulutu kioso ayi wu lulendo loso.
and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
11 Mu niandi beno luzengoso mu nzengolo yikambu vangulu mu mioko mi batu, vayi luzengoso mu nzengoso yi Klisto, yoyo yilubotudi munitu yi kinsuni.
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 Messiah,
12 Beno luziku va kimosi ayi niandi mu mbotokolo yi lubotokolo ayi mu yawu beno lufuluka va kimosi ayi niandi mu lulendo lu minu, mu zingolozi Nzambi, yoyo yimfulukisa mu bafua.
having been buried with him in immersion, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 Beno bu luba bafua mu diambu di zinzimbala zieno ayi beno bu luba bakambu zengoso, Nzambi wuluzingisa va kimosi ayi Klisto: Niandi wutulemvukila masumu meto
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,
14 Niandi wukusuna mambu maonama mu minsiku, mawu maba kutubedisanga ayi mawu maba kutukakidilanga. Niandi wukusuna mawu bu kabanda mawu va dikulusi
wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
15 Vana kazionina binduanina bioso kuidi bakulutu ayi batu ba lulendo wuba sekinina va ntuala batu boso banga biyeyila wuba nunga va dikulusi.
Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Diawu mutu kabika kulusambisa mu diambu di ndiwulu ayi ndiunuvoti mu diambu di lumbu ki nyengo, voti, mu diambu di ngondi bu yitotukidi bosi, voti mu diambu di lumbu ki saba.
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,
17 Mambu moso momo madi kitsusula ki mambu mankuiza ku ntuala vayi nitu yidi mu Klisto.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah’s.
18 Kadi tala ti balubedisa kuidi batu bammonanga khini mu kukikulula mu luzolo luawu veka mu mambu meti monikanga ayi bu bansambilanga zimbasi. Beti kukiyekulanga mu zitsongolo ziawu veka ayi mu phamba beti kukiniemisininanga mu mayindu mawu ma kimutu.
Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 Bazolanga ko bundana mu Klisto niandi ntu mu niandi nitu yimvimba yimbakilanga bidia, yiyikukusu mu madikulu ayi mianzi; yeti kulanga mu khudulu yi Nzambi.
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.
20 Enati beno lufua va kimosi ayi Klisto ayi lukulu mu ziphevi ziozizindiatisanga nza, buna bila mbi, lufueti tumukina zithumunu ziazibanga ti beno lukidi zingila va nza:
If you died with Messiah from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21 “Kadi bonga; kadi bimba! Kadi simba”
“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
22 Bila bioso biobi bimbivanga bu bimeni sadulu boso buididi zithumunu ayi malongi ma batu.
(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
23 Mu tala, mu kiedika, zithumunu beni zilembo monika ti zidizi diela; mu zitsambudulu zi luzolo lu bawu veka; mu kukikulula, mu ndiamusulu yi nitu. Vayi zithumunu beni zisi kadi mfunu ko mu kakidila zinzinunu zi nsuni.
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.
