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;

Kelima n bua yin bandi min kɔni ya kɔnli i po ń paa maama yinba yeni Lahodise yaaba yeni ya niba n yabi kaa bani mini nbá mɔko.

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:

Ke mi taakalma yeni mi buama yeni ya ŋalmani n ñani ya mɔmɔni n duagu U Tienu yaalidgu banma niima nni, yaama n tie Kiristi, ń gbieni bi pala yeni li papaali

3 In whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden away.

Mi yanfuoma yeni mi banma ŋalmani kuli duagi o ya niinni i.

4 This I say, in order that, no one, may be reasoning, you, aside with plausible discourse;

N maadi yi lani ke nilo ń da bɔndi yi mi tudma maabandi

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.

Bá yeni n gbannandi ń ki ye yeni yi, ama n yantiali taani ki ye yeni yi. N pali mani yeni mi la ke i kubi ke li paa, ki go ciibi i dandanli Kiristi nni.

6 As therefore ye have accepted the Anointed Jesus as your Lord, in him, be walking, —

Yin ya cuoni Jesu Kiristi sanu nni nani yin den ga o maama maama yeni.

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.

Yin kpa i jiina paama o niinni, yin cɔlni ban waani yi ya banma, ki ya maa i dandanli po po, ki jaandi o bonŋanla.

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 ya faami ke nilo ń da dia yi diagu yeni o maalcianma maabandi yaama n tie fafanma yeni mi tuofaama maama, yaama n maa bi niba maasuagu po yeni ŋanduna ne tuonbiadi danbogda po, ki naa ŋua Kiristi banma.

9 Because, in him, dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily,

Kelima, U Tienu munli kuli ye o gbannandi nni i.

10 And ye are, in him, filled full, —Who, is the head of all principality and authority,

O ya yeli po i, ke i baa bonli kuli, wani n die bali kuli yeni yikodi kuli.

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 ya yeli po i ke U Tienukuani yi u kɔnciagu, ama li naa tie bi niba nui ya kɔnciagu ka, ti tuonbiadi gbannangu ñanma, ama, Kiristi ya ciagu.

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 pii wani yeni yinba i ñinwulma nni, o ya yeli po, i ke i yiedi (faadi) kelima i dandanli U Tienu paaciamu po. Lanya paaciamu n yiedi Kiristi ki ñani o mi kuuma nni.

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,

Yognuba, i den kpe i tuonbiadi yeni i jelma po i, o guani wani yeni yinba li miali nni, ki dini sugli ti tuonbiadi kuli 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 piini ban diani ya panli cuonu ti po, yeni ya tili nni ke bi den diani lanya yikodi. O ñani likuli, ki kpa ki tabni li daapɔnpɔnli po.

15 Spoiling the principalities and the authorities, he made of them an open example, celebrating a triumph over them thereby.

O landi gobna yeni yikodanba paatiadi, ki seni ba asala siiga. ki yuani ba o yudandi po li daapɔnpɔnli po.

16 Let no one, therefore, be judging, you, —in eating and in drinking, or in respect of feast, or new moon, or sabbath, —

Lanwani ii, yin da cedi nilo ń jia i buudi kelima yin di yaali bii yin ñu yaali ya po, bii jaanma bá po lanyaaka ŋmaapaano po bii fuodma dana po.

17 Which are a shadow of the things to come, whereas, the body, is of the Christ.

Lanya bona kuli tie ya bona n ba yuandi ki cua ya junjungu i, ama i mɔmɔni wani ii, li tie Kiristi i.

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, —

Yinda tuo nilo ń fie i yudanyema kelima bi kpali li yumiinli, ki jaandi malekinba. Lanya nilo kuani o yama wan nua yaali nni, ki ji tua yuondaano ke laa pia niima, kelima o nisaalmaalma 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.

O ji ki pia Kiristi banma bawaamu, wani yua n tie li yuli, lani n dingi u gbanu kuli, ki cedi ke ti gbannandi kuli taani ki tuugi yeni a tuga yeni a jiina, ke u gbanu kpedi, ke U Tienu dingi u.

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, —

I ya taani ki kpe yeni Kiristi, ke li ŋua ŋanduna ne ya yebiadma po, li nan tieni ledi ke i ŋua ŋanduna ń niini ki bili ya kuana, ki tua:

21 Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch; —

“Da jelni mani yeni ne, da leni mani ne, da sii mani ne”?

22 Which things are all for decay in the using up; —according to the commandments and teachings of men?

Lanya fuuna yeni li tunda tie bi niba yaa, ki nua ya bona bona ke ya sɔni yeni a ŋan biidi bii ŋan di ki buodi.

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.

Li fuuna naani yeni nisaalo yanfuoma yeni i, ki ŋua nilo jaanbuolcelu, nufanu yumiinli, ki niindi ke lan kubi u gbanu yeni u tonu, ki nan ki pia ya mayuli n ba todi tin bandi ti gbanu bonbuakaali yaali n dagdi ti po.
