Colossians 2
1 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;
Kajti hočem, da bi vedeli, kako velik boj imam za vas in za te iz Laodikeje in za mnoge, četudi niso videli mojega obraza v mesu,
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
da bodo njihova srca lahko potolažena, stkana skupaj v ljubezni in v vseh bogastvih polnega zagotovila razumevanja, k spoznanju Božje skrivnosti in Očetove in Kristusove;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
v katerem so skriti vsi zakladi modrosti in spoznanja.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
In to pravim, da vas ne bi katerikoli človek preslepil s prepričevalnimi besedami.
5 For though I be 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.
Kajti čeprav sem odsoten v mesu, sem vendar z vami v duhu in se veselim ter zrem vašo urejenost in neomajnost vaše vere v Kristusa.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Tako kakor ste torej sprejeli Gospoda Kristusa Jezusa, tako živite v njem.
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Ukoreninjeni in zgrajeni v njem ter potrjeni v veri, kakor ste bili poučeni in v tem obilni z zahvaljevanjem.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Pazite, da vas ne bi katerikoli človek oplenil s filozofijo in prazno prevaro po človeškem izročilu, po temeljnih principih sveta, ne pa po Kristusu.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Kajti v njem telesno prebiva vsa polnost Božanstva.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and authority:
In vi ste popolni v njem, ki je glava vseh kneževin in oblasti;
11 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:
v katerem ste tudi obrezani z obrezo, narejeno brez rok, s slačenjem grešnega mesenega telesa, s Kristusovo obrezo;
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
s krstom pokopani z njim, v katerem ste tudi vi z njim vstali, po veri Božjega delovanja, ki ga je obudil od mrtvih.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
In vas, mrtve v vaših grehih in neobrezanosti vašega mesa, je on oživil skupaj z njim ter vam odpustil vse grehe
14 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;
in izbrisal rokopis odredb, ki so bile zoper nas, ki nam je bil nasproten in ga odstranil s poti ter ga pribil na svoj križ;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
in ker imamo pokvarjene kneževine in oblasti, je naredil iz njih javni prikaz, slaveč v tem zmago nad njimi.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Ne pustite torej nobenemu človeku, da vas sodi v jedi ali v pijači ali pri spoštovanju svetega dne ali mlaja ali šabatnih dni;
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
ki so senca stvari, ki pridejo; toda telo je Kristusovo.
18 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,
Ne pustite nobenemu človeku, da vas preslepi glede vaše nagrade, [tako da je] prostovoljno ponižen in obožuje angele in se vsiljuje v te stvari, ki jih ni videl, prazno napihnjen s svojim mesenim umom,
19 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.
ne drži pa se Glave, od katere ima vse telo po sklepih in vezeh nudeno hrano in stkano skupaj raste z rastjo od Boga.
20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Zatorej, če ste s Kristusom mrtvi temeljnim principom sveta, zakaj ste podrejeni odredbam, kakor da živite v svetu
21 ( Touch not; taste not; handle not;
(ne dotikaj, ne okušaj, ne prijemaj,
22 Which all are to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
ki bodo z uporabo vsi odmrli) po človeških zapovedih in naukih?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Katere stvari imajo resnično navidezen prikaz modrosti v pobožnem oboževanju in ponižnosti in zapostavljanju telesa; v zadovoljevanje mesa, ne pa v kakršnokoli vrednost.
