1 Nang cae hoi taksa ah kai hnu vai ai kaminawk hanah Laodicia ah kawkruk maw raihaih ka tongh, tito na panoek o han ka koeh;
For I would have you know what a great struggle I have for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 amlunghaih bangah nawnto amhong moe, hmuennawk boih koep ah panoekhaih a tawnh o thaih pacoengah, Ampa hoi Kri ah kaom kathuk Sithaw ih lok panoek o thai hanah, nihcae to tha ka paek.
that their hearts may be encouraged, they being knit together in love, and that they may attain to all the riches of a full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the mystery of God;
3 Kamtueng ai palunghahaih hoi panoekhaihnawk boih loe Anih thungah ni oh.
in which are stored up all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Mi kawbaktih mah doeh lokthuih kophaih hoiah ang ling o han ai ah, hae lok hae kang thuih o.
And this I say, that no one may impose on you by specious discourses.
5 Kai loe taksa ah nangcae khae ka om ai, toe palung hoiah loe nangcae khaeah ni ka oh, kahoih ah kho na sak o moe, Kri tanghaih kacak to ka hnuk naah kang hoe.
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet in the spirit I am with you, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Kri Jesu to Angraeng ah na tawnh o boeh pongah, anih ah om o poe ah:
As therefore ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
7 Angmah khaeah tangzun kacakah sah oh loe, qoeng o tahang ah, ang patuk o ih baktih toengah, tanghaih ah thacak o sak ah loe, kawnhaih lawkthuih hoiah koi oh.
rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Acoe oh, to tih ai nahaeloe Kri Jesu khae hoi angzo baktih na ai, kaminawk khosakhaih atawk baktih, long nui khosakhaih atawk baktiah sak ih, long palunghahaih hoi atho kaom ai zoekhaih lok hoiah na ling o moeng tih.
Beware lest there be some one who shall make a prey of you through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 Sithaw takpum akoephaih loe Anih ah ni oh.
For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,
10 Nangcae loe Anih ah na koep o, anih loe angraenghaih hoi akaa tawnhaihnawk boih ih lu ah oh:
and ye are made full in him, who is the head of all principality and power;
11 Angmah ah ni, ban hoi aat ai ih tangzat hin to na aah o, Kri ah tangzat hin aahhaih rang hoiah takpum ah kaom taksa zaehaih to na toengh o boeh:
in whom also ye have been circumcised with a circumcision not performed by hand, in putting off the body of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ,
12 tuinuemhaih hoiah Anih hoi nawnto na phum o moe, duekhaih thung hoiah Anih pathawkkung, Sithaw thacakhaih to na tang o pongah, Anih hoi nawnto nang thawk o toeng boeh.
having been buried with him in your baptism; in which also ye were raised to life with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead;
13 Nangcae taksa ah tangzat hin aat ai kaminawk loe na zae o haih pongah na duek o; toe Anih mah Kri hoi nawnto ang pathawk o moe, nangcae zaehaihnawk boih to tahmen boeh;
and to you also who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he given life together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;
14 aicae ih misa, aicae hoi buenglueng tamlet ah kaom, ban hoi tarik ih ca loe phraek ving boeh, Anih mah to ca to lak moe, thinglam pongah takhing boeh;
blotting out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was opposed to us, he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
15 thacakhaih hoi kasang akaa tawnhaihnawk to phraek moe, nihcae pazawkhaih to thinglam nuiah amtuengsak boeh.
and having disarmed principalities and powers, he made a public show of them, and led them captive in triumph in him.
16 To pongah caaknaek pongah maw, to tih ai boeh loe tok anghakhaih ni pongah maw, to tih ai boeh loe Khrah kangtha pongah maw, to tih ai boeh loe Sabbath ni pongah maw, mi mah doeh lok na caek o hmah nasoe:
Let no one then call you to account about food or drink, or a feast-day, or a new moon, or sabbaths;
17 to hmuennawk loe angzo han koi hmuennawk ih tahlip ah ni oh o; toe takpum loe Kri ni.
which are a shadow of the things to come, but the body is Christ's.
18 Tih hmuen doeh hnukhaih om ai to mah, hmuen hnuksakhaih ka tawnh, tiah amoek kami, long taksa koehhaih palungthin tawn kami, minawk tlim ah khosah kami baktiah kamtueng kami, van kaminawk bok kami, kawbaktih kami mah doeh na hnuk o ih tangqum to lom o hmah nasoe,
Let no one defraud you of the prize, desiring to do it in humiliation and worshipping of the angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, puffed up without reason by the mind of his own flesh,
19 nihcae loe Lu ah kaom Kri hoi angpehhaih tidoeh om ai, lu hoi takpum to angpeh moe, ahuh hoi thaquinawk boih nawnto amcong o, to tiah takpum boih tha a caksak moe, Sithaw koehhaih ah a qoengsak.
and not holding fast the Head, from which the whole body, supported and compacted by means of the joints and ligaments, groweth with an increase wrought by God.
20 To pongah nangcae loe amsoem ai long patukhaih hmuen thung hoiah Kri hoi nawnto na duek o boeh nahaeloe, tipongah long khosakhaih baktiah na hing o moe,
If ye died with Christ to the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, such as,
21 (sui hmah, pataengh hmah, patawn hmah, tiah kaom ukhaih thungah na oh o vop loe?
Handle not, Taste not, Touch not,
22 To hmuennawk loe kaminawk mah thuih o ih loknawk hoi patukhaih ah oh pongah, anghmaa han koi hmuen ah ni oh.)
(which all are to perish with the using, ) after the commandments and teachings of men;
23 To baktih hmuennawk loe aimah koeh ah Sithaw bokhaih, poek pahnaemhaih, taksa koehhaih angsum thaih hmuen baktiah amtueng, toe taksa koehhaih to pazawk thai tangtang ai.
which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship and humiliation and severity to the body, not in any honor for the satisfying of the flesh.
