Kolosa 2

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 that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and [for] them at 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 comforted, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

3 Kamtueng ai palunghahaih hoi panoekhaihnawk boih loe Anih thungah ni oh.

In whom are hid 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, lest any man should deceive you with enticing words.

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 I am with you in the spirit, joying 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 ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye 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 in it 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 any man make a prey of you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after 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 complete 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 are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by 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.

Buried with him in baptism, in which also ye are raised with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath 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 you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he made alive together with him, having forgiven you all 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 hand-writing of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

15 thacakhaih hoi kasang akaa tawnhaihnawk to phraek moe, nihcae pazawkhaih to thinglam nuiah amtuengsak boeh.

[And] having despoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

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 man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a holy-day, or or the new-moon, or of the 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 things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.

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 man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

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 the head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of 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,

Wherefore, if ye are dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

21 (sui hmah, pataengh hmah, patawn hmah, tiah kaom ukhaih thungah na oh o vop loe?

(Touch not; taste not; handle 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; ) according to the commandments and doctrines 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 humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh.
