Colossians 2
1 For I desire you to know, how great a contest I am having—in behalf of you, and of those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
N bua yin bandi min togidi leni ya toacianbu kelima yi yaapo leni yaaba n ye layodise yaapo leni yaaba n daa laa n nunga ti gbananandi nni kuli yaapo.
2 In order that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, even unto all the riches of the full assurance of their understanding, unto a personal knowledge of the sacred secret of God, —Christ:
N tiendi yeni ke ban baa li papaali, ki taani mi buama nni ki baa mi yanfuoma ki fidi ki bandi U Tienu bondoaginkaala yeni lani n tie Kilisiti.
3 In whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden away.
Mi yanfuoma leni U Tienu bandima halimani kuli wuo wani Kilisiti yaa niinne.
4 This I say, in order that, no one, may be reasoning, you, aside with plausible discourse;
N waani yi laa maama kuli, ke o ba kuli n da boandi yi leni mi mafanma.
5 For, though, indeed, in the flesh, I am absent, yet, in the spirit, with you, I am—rejoicing, and beholding your order and the solid firmness of your Christ-ward faith.
Kelima baa ke mii ye leni yi n gbannandi nni, n ye leni yi n yantiali nni, ki pia li pamanli leni min nua ke yi dagidi leni yi yaba maama, ke yi dandanli mo se ke li pa Kilisiti nni.
6 As therefore ye have accepted the Anointed Jesus as your Lord, in him, be walking, —
Lani wani yin baa ki bandi o Diedo Jesu Kilisiti yeni, yin yaa cuoni mani o yaa niinni.
7 Rooted, and being built up, in him, and making yourselves sure in your faith, even as ye have been taught, —surpassing therein with thanksgiving.
Ki yaa pia ijiini oniinni, ki suagi liiga O sanhoadima nni. Yin go yaa se ke li pa yi dandanli nni nani ban den bangi yi maama.
8 Be taking heed, lest there shall be anyone leading, you, off as a spoil, through means of their philosophy, and an empty deceit, —according to the instruction of men, according to the first principles of the world, —and not according to Christ:
Yin fangi mani yi yula ki da tuo ke oba kuli n cuo yi yama leni onisaalo yanfuoma yaama n hua bi nisaaliba bangima, yaama n tie fanma fanma ki boandi ki hua bi nisaaliba danbogida leni handuna paciami ki naa hua Kilisiti.
9 Because, in him, dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily,
Kelima U Tienu n tie maama kuli ye Kilisiti gbannandi nni ki dagidi.
10 And ye are, in him, filled full, —Who, is the head of all principality and authority,
Yi pia li bonla kuli ke li dagidi o yaa niinni, wani yua n tie yi paciami danba kuli liiga yua leni li bali danba kuli yaa yudaano.
11 In whom, ye have also been circumcised with a circumcision not done by hand, in the despoiling of the body of flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ, —
O yaa niinne, ke yi kua yaa koanciagu n naa tie onisaalo nuu ka, ama ku tie Kilisiti n tieni yaale, lani n tie ke yi landi ti nisaali gbannandi tagibiadu.
12 Having been buried together with him in your immersion, wherein also ye have been raised together, through your faith in the energising of God—Who raised him from among the dead.
Bi den taani ki piini yi leni o mi batisima nni ke yi go fii leni o ki ye leni o kelima li dandanli yaapo, leni U Tienu paciamu yuu n den fiini o bi tinkpiba siiga yaapo.
13 And, as for you—who were, dead, by your offences and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath brought you to life together with him, —having in favour forgiven us all our offences,
Yinba yaaba n den kpe kelima yi tuonbiadi po leni yin kaa den kua koanciagu yi gbanandi nni maama yaapo U Tienu guani ki puni yi limiali kelima Kilisiti yaapo ki go puni ti sugili ti tuonbiadi po.
14 Having blotted out the handwriting against us by the decrees, which was hostile to us, —and hath taken away, the same, out of the midst, nailing it up to the cross:
O den boliniyaa tili yaa diani n den buni ki cuo ti ki doagidi tin den yie O mabilikaama maama ki kpaa ki tabini laa tili li dapoanpoanli po ki bolini li.
15 Spoiling the principalities and the authorities, he made of them an open example, celebrating a triumph over them thereby.
O den dindi mi diema danba leni yi paciami danba bi bala kuli ki doagidi ke o paadi yaa paali n sieni kuli, kelima li dapoanpoanli yaapo.
16 Let no one, therefore, be judging, you, —in eating and in drinking, or in respect of feast, or new moon, or sabbath, —
Yin da tuo oba n jia yi buudi kelima yin di ki go ñu yaala yaapo, bi lan tie yaa jaandana po kuli, yaaka yi ŋmapaani jaanma dana, yaaka mi fuodima dana po.
17 Which are a shadow of the things to come, whereas, the body, is of the Christ.
Laa bonla kuli den tie yaala n baa cua yaa junjungoe ama li bonmoanla liba tie Kilisiti.
18 Let, no one, against you, be arbitrating, however wishful, —in respect of lowliness of mind, and of a religious observance of the messengers: upon what things he hath seen, taking his stand, in vain, puffed up by his carnal mind, —
Yin da tuo nilo ba kuli n fie yi nuama panpaani nani wan bua maama, baa yaaba n kpali ke bi fani ki pia li yumiinli ki jaandi malekinba. Bi puni bi yula li bonlekaala po, ki gbengidi bi yula fanma fanma bi gbannandi yantiali po.
19 And not holding fast the head: from which, all the body, through means of its joints and uniting bands, receiving supply, and connecting itself together, groweth with the growth of God.
Baa tuugi leni leni yua n tie li yuli, ti gbannandi kuli n tuugi yenma ki baadi yaala n dagidi yua yaa kani, kelima yi jiini leni atuga po, ki kpedi nani U Tienu npuni ti maama.
20 If ye have died, together with Christ, from the first principles of the world, why, as though alive in the world, are ye submitting to decrees, —
Yi yaa kpe leni Kilisiti, yi paadi leni handuna maasuagu. Be yaapo ke yi go tuo ke handuna kuana die yi nani yi da tie handuna yaaba yeni?
21 Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch; —
Laa kuana nne: Han da taa, han da leni, han da sii.
22 Which things are all for decay in the using up; —according to the commandments and teachings of men?
Naani laa kuana kuli ki tie bonpendikaala, ki hua bi nisaaliba nbili ki bangi bangi yaala bebe ka?
23 The which things, indeed, though they have, an appearance, of wisdom, in self-devised religious observance, and lowliness of mind, [and] ill-treatment of body, are, in no honourable way, unto a satisfying of the flesh.
A kuana yeni tie nani a pia mi fuoma yeni ki teni ke bi niba gandi ban baa jaandi maamaa, ki go bili bi niba n ya miindi bi yula ki wangi bi gbannandi fala. Ama haa pia yaa fidu n baa todi ba, ban paadi bi gbannandi bonbuakaala.
