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;
Mepɛ sɛ mema mo ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Laodikea no ne wɔn a wɔnhunuu me da no hunu aperepereɛ denden a meredi wɔ wɔn ho.
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;
Me botaeɛ ne sɛ, wɔbɛnya nkuranhyɛ wɔ wɔn akoma mu na wɔatena ase ɔdɔ mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛnya nteaseɛ a ɛwie pɛyɛ. Na wɔbɛhunu Onyankopɔn ahintasɛm a ɛne Kristo no.
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Ɔno so na wɔnam hunu Onyankopɔn nyansa ne nʼadwene.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Meka kyerɛ mo sɛ, mommma obiara mfa akyinnyehunu nnaadaa mo.
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.
Ɛwom sɛ menni mo nkyɛn wɔ ɔhonam fam deɛ, nanso mewɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ honhom fam. Ɛyɛ me anigye nso sɛ monam Kristo mu gyidie so aka mo ho abom gyina hɔ pintinn.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him:
Esiane sɛ moagye Kristo sɛ mo wura enti, mo ne no mmom ntena.
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Monnye nhini wɔ ne mu; momfa mo nkwa nto ne so na mo gyidie mu nyɛ den daa sɛdeɛ wɔkyerɛɛ mo no, na monna no ase.
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.
Monhwɛ yie na obi amfa ne nnaadaa a ɛfiri nnipa nkyerɛkyerɛ ne ewiase ahonhom mu a ɛmfiri Kristo no amfa mo nnommum.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn tebea nyinaa ara te Kristo onipadua mu,
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
na mo nso Kristo ahyɛ mo ma, na tumidie ne mpaninnie biara hyɛ Kristo ase.
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:
Mo ne no ka bɔɔ mu no, wɔtwaa mo twetia a ɛnyɛ onipa na ɔtwaa mo, na mmom, ɛyɛ Kristo no ankasa na ɔtwaa mo twetia de tee mo firii onipadua a ɛho nteɛ no tumi ase.
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.
Wɔbɔɔ mo asu no nso, wosiee mo ne Kristo. Afei wonyanee mo baa nkwa mu, ɛfiri sɛ na mowɔ gyidie wɔ Onyankopɔn tumi mu a ɛnyanee Kristo firii awufoɔ mu no.
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;
Esiane mo bɔne enti, ɛberɛ bi a atwam no, na moyɛ honhom mu awufoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ a monni Mmara. Nanso, afei Onyankopɔn anyane yɛn ne Kristo. Onyankopɔn de yɛn nyinaa bɔne akyɛ yɛn.
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;
Onyankopɔn pepaa yɛn mmarato; na ɔde ne nyinaa kɔɔ asɛnnua so kɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu.
15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Ɛhɔ na Kristo dii mpaninnie ne tumidie nyinaa so. Ɔmaa ewiase nyinaa hunuu sɛdeɛ ɔfaa wɔn sɛ nneduafoɔ ɛberɛ a ɔhyɛɛ ne nkonimdie ho fa no.
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]:
Enti, mommma obiara nnhyehyɛ mmara a ɛfa deɛ modi anaa monom, deɛ ɛfa nna kronkron anaa deɛ ɛfa asrane foforɔ afahyɛ anaa deɛ ɛfa home nna ho mmma mo.
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
Saa nneɛma no nyinaa yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛkyerɛ deɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ a ɛbɛba no. Kristo ne nokorɛ no.
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,
Mommma nnipa a wɔboa pa brɛ wɔn ho ase anaa wɔsom abɔfoɔ nnaadaa mo; wɔhoahoa wɔn ho sɛ wɔanya anisoadehunu. Saa ahantanfoɔ yi wɔ anifire su.
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.
Saa nnipa yi nyɛ Kristo a ɔyɛ onipadua no nyinaa Ti no dea bio. Kristo na ɔma onipadua no ahoɔden na ɔka onipadua no akwaa nyinaa bɔ mu, ma ɛnyini sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ ɛnyini no.
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,
Mo ne Kristo awu enti, moate mo ho afiri ahonhom a wɔdi ewiase so no ho. Adɛn enti na mobɔ mo bra sɛ nnipa a wɔhyɛ saa ewiase no ase? Adɛn enti na modi saa mmara no a ɛkyerɛ sɛ,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
“Monnsɔ yei mu, monnni yei, mommfa mo nsa nka!” no so?
22 Which all are to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Saa mmara ahodoɔ yi nyinaa yɛ nnipa ahyɛdeɛ ne ne nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa nneɛma a yɛyɛ wɔ asase yi so a daakye ɛbɛtwam.
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.
Ayɛ sɛ saa Mmara yi so die yɛ pa ara, na ɛma wodɔ Onyankopɔn, anaasɛ ɛma wobrɛ wo ho ase ma wohyɛ wo ho so. Nanso, saa mmara yi nni tumi biara wɔ onipa akɔnnɔ bɔne so.
