1 Bara meng dinin su anugheiyinin ngbardang nnono mongo na dimun bara anughe nan nalenghe na idi Nlaudikiya nin ngbardan na isa yene umuro nighe nanya kidowo ba.
For I want you to know the kind of solicitude that I have for you, and for those who are at Laodicea, as well as for those who have not seen my face in the flesh.
2 Nworu nibinai mine basennagang, nanya nworu ida vat nimon nacara na idin dasu kiti ncau kibinai nin nyinnu nimong linyeshin unere Kristi.
May their hearts be consoled and instructed in charity, with all the riches of a plenitude of understanding, with knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus.
3 Vat najiya linyeshin nyiru nin nyinnu udi kiti mye.
For in him are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Nna belin munu nani bara umong wa rusuzu munu nin nliru kinu.
Now I say this, so that no one may deceive you with grandiose words.
5 Nin nani na ndi nanghinu nanya kidowo ba ndi nanghjinu nnya Nfip milau ndin nin liburi liboo nyene imon icine a likara mine nanya nyinu sa uyenu nanya Kristi.
For though I may be absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit. And I rejoice as I gaze upon your order and its foundation, which is in Christ, your faith.
6 Cinan nanyan Kristi Yesu Uciffe libau lirum inan sereghe.
Therefore, just as you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, walk in him.
7 Yisinan nin likara nanya mye, tutunon litino nanya mye, Yisinan nanya nyinu sa uyenu ulena iwa durso minu imonnu nin ngodiya.
Be rooted and continually built up in Christ. And be confirmed in the faith, just as you have also learned it, increasing in him with acts of thanksgiving.
8 Yenen na umong nwa minu bara uyiru mye un karusuzo ba, ule na udi unit usyrne ulenge na udin cinu nin kulapi ninyulele unin na un Kristi ba.
See to it that no one deceives you through philosophy and empty falsehoods, as found in the traditions of men, in accord with the influences of the world, and not in accord with Christ.
9 Bara vat ukullu nke Kutelle sosin nanya kidowo mye.
For in him, all the fullness of the Divine Nature dwells bodily.
10 Nanya mye ulengana adi iti nvat ncin nin likara fere nso ukulu ne vat.
And in him, you have been filled; for he is the head of all principality and power.
11 Nanya myere kutelle wa kala nani kucuri na imusin kalu kucuri nacra nanit ba, bara ukalukidowo nin finawa kulapi, nanya nkalu kucuri Kristi.
In him also, you have been circumcised with a circumcision not made by hand, not by the despoiling of the body of flesh, but by the circumcision of Christ.
12 Iwa kasu minu nanya su ubabtisma. Nin yinu sa uyenu inani wa fita nin ghe nanya likara Kutelle, ulena ana fiyaghe kiti nanam nkul.
You have been buried with him in baptism. In him also, you have risen again through faith, by the work of God, who raised him up from the dead.
13 Nin kubi na iwa ku nanya nalapi mine nin nanya nsalin kalu kucuri kidowo, amini wwati minu ise ulai ligowenanghe nin nshawu nin nalapi mine vat.
And when you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he enlivened you, together with him, forgiving you of all transgressions,
14 Amini wa wese inyerte na iwa cio nrewe bara arike, nin nbunu ndoka, aamini wa kala vat kite na iwa banaghe kutca.
and wiping away the handwriting of the decree which was against us, which was contrary to us. And he has taken this away from your midst, affixing it to the Cross.
15 Amini wa kala anan tigo nan na nakara a puuno nani fong, a dofino ninghinu nanya nse nlii nbun bara na iwa banaghe kutca.
And so, despoiling principalities and powers, he has led them away confidently and openly, triumphing over them in himself.
16 Bara nani na umong nwa wucu kidegen kiti mine nbelle kileo nin nsonu sa ubuki npui upese, nin kitene nari na sabbar.
Therefore, let no one judge you as concerns food or drink, or a particular feast day, or feast days of new moons, or of Sabbaths.
17 Ilele vat inshin nimon ile na iba dakari, bara icineb Kristi ari.
For these are a shadow of the future, but the body is of Christ.
18 Na umong nwa bolu minu uduk mine bara usu mye unteltunu liti kinunanya ntumolunu na nan kadura Kutelle imusin nnit une. Asa amuzo nin nimon ile na ayene, aso unan nfo figiri hem nani nanya nkpilizun kidowo.
Let no one seduce you, preferring base things and a religion of Angels, walking according to what he has not seen, being vainly inflated by the sensations of his flesh,
19 Na ame myin un Kristi kuba na amere di nnuzu kidowo amini myin ligowe kitene limunun kidowo kani di nkunju nafo na Kutelle nati kinin ki kunno.
and not holding up the head, with which the whole body, by its underlying joints and ligaments, is joined together and grows with an increase that is of God.
20 Adi una kuu nin Kristi unuzu na dadu kulapi ani yanghari taa inalitife udu uye:
So then, if you have died with Christ to the influences of this world, why do you still make decisions as if you were living in the world?
21 Na uwa myin ba, sa ulelee basa ududowa?
Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle these things,
22 Ulele udokari nin dursuzu nanit, kitene nimon vat na iba nanu sa katwa.
which all lead to destruction by their very use, in accord with the precepts and doctrines of men.
23 Ulenge usu tidokoke ti di jijin adini liti me nin nonku liti aninu kidowo, Bara na idinin na ukan nimon ba nbelele kidowo.
Such ideas have at least an intention to attain to wisdom, but through superstition and debasement, not sparing the body, and they are without any honor in satiating the flesh.
