Colossians 2
1 For I would that all of you 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;
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 might be comforted, being knit together in (agape) 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 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 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
A ovo govorim, da vas niko ne prevari slatkijem rijeèima.
5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the (pneuma) spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith 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 all of you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk all of you in him:
Kako dakle primiste Hrista Isusa Gospoda onako živite u njemu,
7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as all of you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Ukorijenjeni i nazidani u njemu i utvrðeni vjerom kao što nauèiste, izobilujuæi u njoj zahvalnošæu.
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.
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 dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
Jer u njemu živi svaka punina Božanstva tjelesno.
10 And all of you are complete in him, which 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 all of you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
U kome i obrezani biste obrezanjem nerukotvorenijem, odbacivši tijelo grijeha mesnijeh obrezanjem Hristovijem;
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also all of you are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who has 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 your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, has he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
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 ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
I izbrisavši pismo uredbe koja bješe protiv nas, i to uzevši sa srijede prikova ga na krstu;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
I svukavši poglavarstva i vlasti izvede ih na ugled slobodno, i pobijedi ih na njemu.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
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 beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
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 all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with 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 Wherefore if all of you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are all of you subject to ordinances,
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 to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Po zapovijestima i naukama ljudskima?
23 Which things have indeed a (logos) show of wisdom religious outlook, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Koje je samo po rijeèi premudrost samovoljno izbrane službe i poniznosti i nešteðenja tijela, ne za èast kaku, za punjenje tijela.
