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 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 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, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 anih awh cyihnaak ingkaw simnaak boeih ce thuh na awm hy.
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Thlang ing pauthainaak ing nangmih a mani thainaak khqi aham ve ve nik kqawn pek khqi nyng.
And this I say, lest any man should deceive you with enticing words.
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 I am with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Cawhtaw, Jesu Khrih ce Boei na namik kqoeh hawh a dawngawh, anih awh awm poe lah uh,
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye 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 built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding in it with 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.
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 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 ye are complete in him, 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 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 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.
Buried with him in baptism, in which also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath 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 in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he made alive together with him, having forgiven you all 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.
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his 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.
And having disarmed principalities and 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 food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths:
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 things to come; but the body is of Christ.
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 beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not 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 the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, 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:
Therefore 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 Koeh tu! Koeh teng! Koeh bi!” ti uknaak ak khuiawh nami awm paqap kaw?
( Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Vekkhqi boeih taw thlanghqing ak awipeek ingkaw cawngpyinaak awi na a awmawh a hawnnaak hly kawi nani a awm boeih hy.
Which all are to perish with the using; ) according to the commandments 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.
These things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
