Colossians 2
1 For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have in behalf of you, and those in Laodicea, and so many as 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 in order that their hearts may be comforted, being knitted together in divine love, and in all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the perfect knowledge of the mystery of God, of Christ,
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 hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
U kojoj je sve blago premudrosti i razuma sakriveno.
4 I say this in order that no one may deceive you with a persuasive speech.
A ovo govorim, da vas niko ne prevari slatkijem rijeèima.
5 For if I am absent in the flesh, but I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the establishment of your faith toward 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 Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk about in him,
Kako dakle primiste Hrista Isusa Gospoda onako živite u njemu,
7 having been rooted and grounded in him, and confirmed in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Ukorijenjeni i nazidani u njemu i utvrðeni vjerom kao što nauèiste, izobilujuæi u njoj zahvalnošæu.
8 See that no one shall be deceiving you through philosophy and empty delusion, 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 because in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,
Jer u njemu živi svaka punina Božanstva tjelesno.
10 and you are complete in him, who is the head of all government and authority:
I da budete ispunjeni u njemu koji je glava svakome poglavarstvu i vlasti;
11 in whom you are also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of depravity, in the circumcision of Christ;
U kome i obrezani biste obrezanjem nerukotvorenijem, odbacivši tijelo grijeha mesnijeh obrezanjem Hristovijem;
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you are also raised by the faith of the operation of God, who raised him 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, being dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your depravity, has he created life in you along with himself, having forgiven us all transgressions,
I vas koji ste bili mrtvi u grijesima i u neobrezanju tijela svojega, oživljeo je s njim, poklonivši nam sve grijehe,
14 having blotted out the handwriting which was against us in ordinances, which was antagonistical to us: and took it out from the midst, having nailed it to the cross;
I izbrisavši pismo uredbe koja bješe protiv nas, i to uzevši sa srijede prikova ga na krstu;
15 having destroyed governments and authorities, he made a public exhibition of them triumphing over them on it.
I svukavši poglavarstva i vlasti izvede ih na ugled slobodno, i pobijedi ih na njemu.
16 Therefore let no one judge you in meat, or in drink, or in the participation of a feast, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath:
Da vas dakle niko ne osuðuje za jelo ili za piæe, ili za kakav praznik, ili za mladine, ili za subote;
17 which things are a shadow of the 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 one purposely rob you of your prize by humiliation and worship of the angels, trusting in those things which he has seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his depravity,
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 entire body, by joints and ligaments being supplied and knitted together, increases 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 along with Christ you are dead from the elements of the world, why are you dogmatized as 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 those things which are all unto destruction by use according to the commandments and teachings of the people?
Po zapovijestima i naukama ljudskima?
23 Which indeed are having a word of wisdom in will worship, and humiliation, and austerity of the body; not in any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Koje je samo po rijeèi premudrost samovoljno izbrane službe i poniznosti i nešteðenja tijela, ne za èast kaku, za punjenje tijela.
