Kolosa 2
1 Nangmih ingkaw Laodicea khaw awh ak awmkhqi, pumsa awh kai ama nik hu khawi thlangkhqi boeih aham iqyt ka khuikha ti nami sim aham ngaih nyng.
For I would have you know how greatly I strive for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 Kawlung ngaihqepnaak ta unawh lungnaak ing naming tuqu aham ngaih nyng; cawh ni zaksimnaak ta unawh, Khawsak awihyp, Khrih ce ami sim hly thai,
that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, [even] Christ,
3 anih awh cyihnaak ingkaw simnaak boeih ce thuh na awm hy.
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
4 Thlang ing pauthainaak ing nangmih a mani thainaak khqi aham ve ve nik kqawn pek khqi nyng.
This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
5 Nangmih a venawh pumsa na am awm hlai nyng, kang myihla taw nangmih a venawh awm nawh nangmih ing a cypmyih na Khrih awh cangnaak cak ing nami awm ce huh aham ngaih nyng.
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Cawhtaw, Jesu Khrih ce Boei na namik kqoeh hawh a dawngawh, anih awh awm poe lah uh,
As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk in him,
7 Amah awh namik kqa thla u nawhtaw dyi lah uh, cawngpyinaak nami huh hawh amyihna cangnaak awh namik tha awm sak unawh, zeelnaak ing be ngen lah uh.
rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
8 U ingawm awihqawng khawmdek cyihnaak ing koeh ni thai nak khqi seh, cemyihkhqi ce thlanghqing a phung ing Khrih awh amak koemkhqi khawmdek them nani ami awm.
Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:
9 Khrih awh Khawsa soepnaak boeih boeih pum ce awm hy,
for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,
10 saithainaak boeih a lu na ak awm, Khrih awh soepnaak ce nangmih a venawh peek na awm hawh hy.
and in him ye are made full, who is the head of all principality and power:
11 Anih awh, khawmdek thawlh hlamnaak chahhuiqeet na awm hawh uhyk ti, thlanghqing a kut sai chahhuiqeet na am awm nawh Khrih a sai chahhuiqeetnaak ni,
in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;
12 baptisma awh amah ing pup haih na awm u tiksaw, amah ce thihnaak awhkawng anik hulkung Khawsa ak thaawm cangnaak ak caming ak tho haih na awm bai uhyk ti.
having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 Thawlhnaak awh thih na awm u tiksaw, khawmdek thawlhnaak awh chahhuiqeet kaana nami awm awh, Khawsa ing Khrih ing ni hqing sak khqi haih hawh hy. Ningmih a thawlhnaak boeih awh qeenkhaw ning ngai pek khqi hawh hy.
And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, [I say], did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;
14 Cauk awh qee na ak awm, cawngpyinaak awi, ningnih a qaal na ak awm ce lo nawh, thinglam awh heen boeih hawh hy.
having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
15 Saithainaak thaawmnaak khqi ce tha boeih sak nawh, thinglam ing cekkhqi ce a noeng coengawh thlang kqeng amik huh awh dang sak hy.
having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Cedawngawh u ingawm nangmih a awk a ai awh, bawknaak benawh kaw poei khawnghi awh, hlak thai awh Sabbath awh awi koeh ni deng khqi seh.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day:
17 Vemyihkhqi taw ak law hly kawi ik-oeih ang myihlip na awm nawh; a tak taw Khrih awh ni hu hy.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
18 Amak thym ak kaina awmnaak a lungnaakkhqi ingkaw khan ceityih ak bawkkhqi ing kutdo na huh hly kawi awh koeh ni lawlh koeh ni maih u seh. Cemyih ak thlang ingtaw a huh ik-oeih ce ak dung na poek nawh; myihla amak awm kawlung ce thangaknaak ing oek qu sak hy.
Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 Lu ing tuqunaak lam hang hy, lu awhkawng ni pum boeih tha pe nawh quhqawng ingkaw thaqui thakqaa khqi boeih ak thamah sak nawh, Khawsa a ngaih kawi amyihna taai khawi hy.
and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Ve khawmdek a kung kqannaak awh Khrih nami thih haih hawh a dawngawh, kawtih khawmdek a koe na ak awm amyihna:
If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances,
21 Koeh tu! Koeh teng! Koeh bi!” ti uknaak ak khuiawh nami awm paqap kaw?
Handle not, nor taste, nor touch
22 Vekkhqi boeih taw thlanghqing ak awipeek ingkaw cawngpyinaak awi na a awmawh a hawnnaak hly kawi nani a awm boeih hy.
(all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?
23 Vemyih cawngpyinaak awi, nimah a ngaih poeknaak, bawknaak, amak thym na ak kaina awmnaak ingkaw nimah a pum ak tlo soeih na khuikha peeknaakkhqi ve ak khan awhtaw ak cyi amyihna dang hlai hy, pumsa a ngaih soepnaak aham a hawihkhangnaak am awm hy.
Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and severity to the body; [but are] not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
