Colossians 2
1 For I want you to know the kind of solicitude that I have for you, and for those who are at Laodicea, as well as for those who have not seen my face in the flesh.
Hočem namreč, da veste, kako hud boj imam zaradi vas, in njih, ki so v Laodiceji, in vse, kateri niso videli obličja mojegu v mesu,
2 May their hearts be consoled and instructed in charity, with all the riches of a plenitude of understanding, with knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus.
Da se potolažijo njih srca, združenih v ljubezni, in za vso bogastvo polnosti razuma, za spoznanje skrivnosti Boga in očeta in Kristusa,
3 For in him are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
V katerem so vsi zakladi modrosti in spoznanja skriti.
4 Now I say this, so that no one may deceive you with grandiose words.
To pa pravim, da vas kdo ne prevara sè sladko besedo;
5 For though I may be absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit. And I rejoice as I gaze upon your order and its foundation, which is in Christ, your faith.
Kajti če sem tudi po mesu daleč, v duhu sem vendar z vami, radujoč se in gledajoč vašo rednost in trdnost vere vaše v Kristusa.
6 Therefore, just as you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, walk in him.
Kakor ste torej prejeli Kristusa Jezusa Gospoda, živite v njem;
7 Be rooted and continually built up in Christ. And be confirmed in the faith, just as you have also learned it, increasing in him with acts of thanksgiving.
Ukoreninjeni in sezidani v njem in utrjeni v veri, kakor ste se učili, rastoč v njej v zahvaljevanji.
8 See to it that no one deceives you through philosophy and empty falsehoods, as found in the traditions of men, in accord with the influences of the world, and not in accord with Christ.
Glejte, da vas kdo ne zapleni z modrijanstvom in prazno prevaro, po izročilu človeškem, po prvinah sveta in ne po Kristusu;
9 For in him, all the fullness of the Divine Nature dwells bodily.
Ker v njem biva vsa polnost božanstva telesno,
10 And in him, you have been filled; for he is the head of all principality and power.
In v njem ste napolnjeni, kateri je glava vsakega gospostva in oblasti;
11 In him also, you have been circumcised with a circumcision not made by hand, not by the despoiling of the body of flesh, but by the circumcision of Christ.
V katerem ste bili tudi obrezani z obrezo ne storjeno z rokami, ko ste slekli telo mesnih grehov v obrezi Kristusovi;
12 You have been buried with him in baptism. In him also, you have risen again through faith, by the work of God, who raised him up from the dead.
Vred pokopani z njim v krstu, v katerem ste bili tudi vred zbujeni po veri kreposti Boga, kateri ga je zbudil izmed mrtvih.
13 And when you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he enlivened you, together with him, forgiving you of all transgressions,
In vas, ki ste bili mrtvi v grehih in neobrezi mesa svojega, oživil je z njim vred, odpustivši vam vse grehe;
14 and wiping away the handwriting of the decree which was against us, which was contrary to us. And he has taken this away from your midst, affixing it to the Cross.
Izbrisavši rokopis, zoper nas, po postavah, ki je bil nam nasproten, in tega je odpravil, pribivši ga sè žeblji na križ;
15 And so, despoiling principalities and powers, he has led them away confidently and openly, triumphing over them in himself.
Ter slekel je poglavarstva in oblasti, in postavil očitno na ogled slavno zmagavši jih v njem.
16 Therefore, let no one judge you as concerns food or drink, or a particular feast day, or feast days of new moons, or of Sabbaths.
Naj vas torej ne sodi kdo v jedi ali pijači, ali gledé praznika ali mlaja ali sobote,
17 For these are a shadow of the future, but the body is of Christ.
Kar je prihodnjega senca, telo pa Kristusovo.
18 Let no one seduce you, preferring base things and a religion of Angels, walking according to what he has not seen, being vainly inflated by the sensations of his flesh,
Nihče naj vas ne prekani hoteč v ponižnosti in čaščenji angelov, ko se peča s tem, česar ni videl, ker ga za nič napihuje mesno čustvo njegovo,
19 and not holding up the head, with which the whole body, by its underlying joints and ligaments, is joined together and grows with an increase that is of God.
In ker se ne drži glave, iz česar vse telo po členovji in vezéh podpirano in zvezano raste v rasti Božji.
20 So then, if you have died with Christ to the influences of this world, why do you still make decisions as if you were living in the world?
Če ste torej umrli s Kristusom prvinam sveta, kaj se vam, kakor da bi v svetu živeli, dajó postave:
21 Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle these things,
("Ne dotakni se, in ne pokusi, in ne potipaj!"
22 which all lead to destruction by their very use, in accord with the precepts and doctrines of men.
Kar je vse v pogubo po zlorabi), poleg zapovedi in ukov človeških,
23 Such ideas have at least an intention to attain to wisdom, but through superstition and debasement, not sparing the body, and they are without any honor in satiating the flesh.
Kar je sicer na videz modrost v samovoljni službi Božji in ponižnosti in neprizanesljivosti proti telesu, v nobenem čislu za napolnjenje mesa."
