Ukolosiya 2
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 how great a struggle I have had for you, for those at Laodicea, and for as many as 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.
I work so that their hearts may be encouraged by being brought together in love and into all the riches of full assurance of understanding, into the knowledge of the secret truth of God, that is, Christ.
3 Vat najiya linyeshin nyiru nin nyinnu udi kiti mye.
In him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4 Nna belin munu nani bara umong wa rusuzu munu nin nliru kinu.
I say this so that no one may trick you with persuasive speech.
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.
Although I am not with you in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit. I rejoice to see your good order and the strength of your faith in Christ.
6 Cinan nanyan Kristi Yesu Uciffe libau lirum inan sereghe.
As you received Christ the Lord, 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 in him, be built on him, be established in faith just as you were taught, and abound in 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 that no one captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, conforming to the elements of the world, and not conforming to Christ.
9 Bara vat ukullu nke Kutelle sosin nanya kidowo mye.
For in him all the fullness of God lives in bodily form.
10 Nanya mye ulengana adi iti nvat ncin nin likara fere nso ukulu ne vat.
You have been filled in him, who is the head over every power and authority.
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 you were also circumcised with a circumcision not done by humans in the removal of the body of flesh, but in 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 were buried with him in baptism, and in him you were raised up through faith in the power of God, who raised him 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.
When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him and forgave us all of our trespasses.
14 Amini wa wese inyerte na iwa cio nrewe bara arike, nin nbunu ndoka, aamini wa kala vat kite na iwa banaghe kutca.
He canceled the written record of debts that stood against us with its regulations. He took it away by nailing 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.
He disarmed the powers and authorities and made a public spectacle of them, by being victorious over them by the cross.
16 Bara nani na umong nwa wucu kidegen kiti mine nbelle kileo nin nsonu sa ubuki npui upese, nin kitene nari na sabbar.
So then, let no one judge you in eating or in drinking, or about a feast day or a new moon, or about Sabbath days.
17 Ilele vat inshin nimon ile na iba dakari, bara icineb Kristi ari.
These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance is 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 who wants humility and the worship of angels judge you out of your prize. Such a person enters into the things he has seen and becomes puffed up by his fleshly thinking.
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.
He does not hold on to the head. It is from the head that the whole body throughout its joints and ligaments is supplied and held together; it grows with the growth given by God.
20 Adi una kuu nin Kristi unuzu na dadu kulapi ani yanghari taa inalitife udu uye:
If you died together with Christ to the elements of the world, why do you live as obligated to the world:
21 Na uwa myin ba, sa ulelee basa ududowa?
“Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”?
22 Ulele udokari nin dursuzu nanit, kitene nimon vat na iba nanu sa katwa.
All these things will perish with use, according to the instructions and teachings 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.
These rules have the wisdom of self-made religion and humility and severity of the body. But they have no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
