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;

Ku nsoko ndoilwe mulinge iti niiza ntuile nu lwago lidu ku nsoko anyu, ku ihi niakoli ku Laodikia nu ku ihi naza akili kihenga u usu nuane mu muili.

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:

Kituma u mulimo iti kina nkolo niao ihume kupoligwa ku kuletwa palung'wi mu ulowa nu ku ugoli wihi nua widu nua kulu kuulu nikondile nua uhuguku, ku kuulinga i kinkunku nika tai ang'wa Itunda, naiza ingi uKristo.

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

Mu ng'wenso matulyo ihi na upolo nu uhuguku upihilwe.

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

Kuligitya izi iti kina wihi waleke kumutendeela isue ku utanantyi nu ukete upembeseelyi.

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.

Ni anga ize nimutili palung'wi nu nyenye mu muili, kuiti nkoli palung'wi nu nyenye mu nkolo. Ni loile kihenga i nzila nianyu ni nziza ni ngulu nia u huiili nuanyu mung'wa Kristo.

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

Anga nai mu musingiiye uKristo Mukulu, gendi mu ng'wenso.

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.

Mukomigwe mu ng'wenso, muzengwe mu ng'wenso, mukomigwe mu uhuiili anga udu nai mumanyisigwe, nu kutungwa mi imbiilyo lidu.

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:

Gozeeli nia kina muntu wihi aleke kumuambya ku ulingi ni nkani ntili nia ukongeli kuniganiila nu usingiilya nua kibina adamu, kuniganiila ni ntendo nia kinya ingu, shanga kuniganiila nu Kristo.

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

Kunsoko mu ng'wenso ukondaniili wihi nuang'wa Itunda wikiie mu muili.

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

Nu nyenye mizuigwe mu ng'wenso, uNg'wenso ingi itwe nila kila uhumi nu unyangulu.

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, —

Mu ng'wenso ga ai mutwawe kidamu ni shanga kitung'wa nu bina adamu mu kuhegeligwa muili nua nyama, kuiti ingi mu kidamu nikang'wa Kristo.

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.

Ai muikilwe palung'wi nu ng'wenso mu wogigwa. Nu kunzila a uhuiili mu ng'wenso ai miukigwe ku uhumi nuang'wa Itunda, Nai umiukilye kupuma muashi.

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,

Hangi nai matulaa makuza mu utumuli nuanyu nu kuhita kutalwa i kidamu mu miili anyu, ai umitumile apanga palung'wi nu ng'wenso nu ku ulekela i milandu itu ihi.

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:

Ai uputile u ukimbukiilyi nua udaigwa nai ukilisigwe, ni nzila nai yatulaa nsuta nu sese. Ai uihegilye yihi nu kuikononteela mi ikota ila mpaga.

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

Ai uihegilye i ngulu nu ukulu. Ai umaikile kihenga nu kituma kutula ilumbi nula ukilyi ku nzila a ikota nila mpaga nilakwe.

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

Ku lulo, muntu wihi waleke kumulamula unyenye kulya ang'wi kung'wa, ang'wi kutula luhiku nula siku kuu ang'wi ng'weli ugeni, ang'wi luhiku nula kusupya.

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

Izi ingi miluli a makani napembilye, kuiti nikamukati ingi Kristo.

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, —

Muntu nu tuile wihi aleke kuhegeligwa ilumbi nilakwe ku kuhung'wa nsula a uliuki nu kipoelya u malaika. Muntu nua kinya iti wingilaa mu makani naza umihengile nu kupembeseeligwa ni masigo akwe na muili.

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.

uNg'wenso shanga wiliambiila itwe. Ingi kupuma mu itwe kina u muili wihi kukiila nungo niakwe ni makupa ikinyinkanigwa nu kuambinkanigwa ku palung'wi; nu kukula ku ukuli nuipumigwaa nu Itunda.

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, —

Anga itule ai ku kule palung'wi nu Kristo ku ntendo nia mihi, mbona mu kikie anga mukitumigwa ku ihi;

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

“Leki kuambi, ang'wi kululya, ang'wi ku kumpya”

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

Aya ihi alagiigwe ku nsoko a ubipya nu upembilye nu utumili, Kupumiila nu ulagiilwa nu umanyisigwa nua ana adamu.

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.

Malagiilyo aya akete upolo nua makumbiko nazipigwe ku ing'wene nu uliuki nu lwago nula muili. Kuiti ngila anga nsailo ku nsula nia muili.
