Colossians 2
1 For I would have you know, what manner of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea, and whosoever have not seen my face in the flesh:
Hoæu dakle da vi znate koliku borbu imam za vas i za one što su u Laodikiji i u Jerapolju, i za sve koji ne vidješe lica mojega u tijelu,
2 That their hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity, and unto all riches of fulness of understanding, unto the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus:
Da se utješe srca njihova, i da se stegnu u ljubavi, i u svakome bogatstvu punoga razuma, na poznanje tajne Boga i oca i Hrista,
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
U kojoj je sve blago premudrosti i razuma sakriveno.
4 Now this I say, that no man may deceive you by loftiness of words.
A ovo govorim, da vas niko ne prevari slatkijem rijeèima.
5 For though I be absent in body, yet in spirit I am with you; rejoicing, and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith which is in Christ.
Jer ako tijelom i nijesam kod vas, ali sam duhom s vama, radujuæi se i videæi vaš red i tvrðu vaše vjere u Hrista.
6 As therefore you have received Jesus Christ the Lord, walk ye in him;
Kako dakle primiste Hrista Isusa Gospoda onako živite u njemu,
7 Rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as also you have learned, abounding in him in thanksgiving.
Ukorijenjeni i nazidani u njemu i utvrðeni vjerom kao što nauèiste, izobilujuæi u njoj zahvalnošæu.
8 Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy, and vain deceit; according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ:
Braæo! èuvajte se da vas ko ne zarobi filozofijom i praznom prijevarom, po kazivanju èovjeèijemu, po nauci svijeta, a ne po Hristu.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally;
Jer u njemu živi svaka punina Božanstva tjelesno.
10 And you are filled in him, who is the head of all principality and power:
I da budete ispunjeni u njemu koji je glava svakome poglavarstvu i vlasti;
11 In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand, in despoiling of the body of the flesh, but in the circumcision of Christ:
U kome i obrezani biste obrezanjem nerukotvorenijem, odbacivši tijelo grijeha mesnijeh obrezanjem Hristovijem;
12 Buried with him in baptism, in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him up from the dead.
Zakopavši se s njim krštenjem, u kojemu s njim i ustaste vjerom sile Boga koji ga vaskrsnu iz mrtvijeh.
13 And you, when you were dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh; he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences:
I vas koji ste bili mrtvi u grijesima i u neobrezanju tijela svojega, oživljeo je s njim, poklonivši nam sve grijehe,
14 Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross:
I izbrisavši pismo uredbe koja bješe protiv nas, i to uzevši sa srijede prikova ga na krstu;
15 And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself.
I svukavši poglavarstva i vlasti izvede ih na ugled slobodno, i pobijedi ih na njemu.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a festival day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths,
Da vas dakle niko ne osuðuje za jelo ili za piæe, ili za kakav praznik, ili za mladine, ili za subote;
17 Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ.
Koje je sve bilo sjen od onoga što šæaše da doðe, i tijelo je Hristovo.
18 Let no man seduce you, willing in humility, and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh,
Niko da vas ne vara, po svojoj volji izabranom poniznošæu i službom anðela, istražujuæi i što ne vidje, i uzalud nadimajuæi se umom tijela svojega,
19 And not holding the head, from which the whole body, by joints and bands, being supplied with nourishment and compacted, groweth unto the increase of God.
A ne držeæi se glave, iz koje je sve tijelo s pomoæu zglavaka i sveza sastavljeno, i raste za rast Božij.
20 If then you be dead with Christ from the elements of this world, why do you yet decree as though living in the world?
Ako dakle umrijeste s Hristom stihijama svijeta, zašto se kao živeæi u svijetu prepirete:
21 Touch not, taste not, handle not:
Ne dohvati se, ne okusi, ne opipaj; koje je sve na pogibao onome koji èini,
22 Which all are unto destruction by the very use, according to the precepts and doctrines of men.
Po zapovijestima i naukama ljudskima?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in superstition and humility, and not sparing the body; not in any honour to the filling of the flesh.
Koje je samo po rijeèi premudrost samovoljno izbrane službe i poniznosti i nešteðenja tijela, ne za èast kaku, za punjenje tijela.
