Colossians 2
1 And I wish you to know, what a struggle I have for you, and for them of Laodicea, and for the others who have not seen my face in the flesh;
yuSmAkaM lAyadikEyAsthabhrAtRNAnjca kRtE yAvantO bhrAtarazca mama zArIrikamukhaM na dRSTavantastESAM kRtE mama kiyAn yatnO bhavati tad yuSmAn jnjApayitum icchAmi|
2 that their hearts may be comforted, and that they, by love, may come to all the riches of assurance, and to the understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father, and of the Messiah,
phalataH pUrNabuddhirUpadhanabhOgAya prEmnA saMyuktAnAM tESAM manAMsi yat piturIzvarasya khrISTasya ca nigUPhavAkyasya jnjAnArthaM sAntvanAM prApnuyurityarthamahaM yatE|
3 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
yatO vidyAjnjAnayOH sarvvE nidhayaH khrISTE guptAH santi|
4 And this I say, lest any one should mislead you by the persuasiveness of words.
kO'pi yuSmAn vinayavAkyEna yanna vanjcayEt tadartham EtAni mayA kathyantE|
5 For though I am separated from you in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit; and I rejoice at beholding your good order, and the stability of your faith in the Messiah.
yuSmatsannidhau mama zarIrE'varttamAnE'pi mamAtmA varttatE tEna yuSmAkaM surItiM khrISTavizvAsE sthiratvanjca dRSTvAham AnandAmi|
6 As therefore ye have received Jesus the Messiah our Lord, walk ye in him,
atO yUyaM prabhuM yIzukhrISTaM yAdRg gRhItavantastAdRk tam anucarata|
7 strengthening your roots and building up yourselves in him, and establishing yourselves in the faith which ye have learned, in which may ye abound in thanksgiving.
tasmin baddhamUlAH sthApitAzca bhavata yA ca zikSA yuSmAbhi rlabdhA tadanusArAd vizvAsE susthirAH santastEnaiva nityaM dhanyavAdaM kuruta|
8 Beware, lest any man make you naked by philosophy, and by vain deception, according to the doctrines of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to the Messiah,
sAvadhAnA bhavata mAnuSikazikSAta ihalOkasya varNamAlAtazcOtpannA khrISTasya vipakSA yA darzanavidyA mithyApratAraNA ca tayA kO'pi yuSmAkaM kSatiM na janayatu|
9 in whom dwelleth all the fullness of the Divinity corporeally.
yata Izvarasya kRtsnA pUrNatA mUrttimatI khrISTE vasati|
10 And in him ye are also complete, because he is the head of all principalities and authorities.
yUyanjca tEna pUrNA bhavatha yataH sa sarvvESAM rAjatvakarttRtvapadAnAM mUrddhAsti,
11 And in him ye have been circumcised with a circumcision without hands, by casting off the flesh of sins, by a circumcision of the Messiah.
tEna ca yUyam ahastakRtatvakchEdEnArthatO yEna zArIrapApAnAM vigrasatyajyatE tEna khrISTasya tvakchEdEna chinnatvacO jAtA
12 And ye have been buried with him, by baptism; and by it ye have risen with him; while ye believed in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
majjanE ca tEna sArddhaM zmazAnaM prAptAH puna rmRtAnAM madhyAt tasyOtthApayiturIzvarasya zaktEH phalaM yO vizvAsastadvArA tasminnEva majjanE tEna sArddham utthApitA abhavata|
13 And you, who were dead in your sins, and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath vivified with him; and he hath forgiven us all our sins:
sa ca yuSmAn aparAdhaiH zArIrikAtvakchEdEna ca mRtAn dRSTvA tEna sArddhaM jIvitavAn yuSmAkaM sarvvAn aparAdhAn kSamitavAn,
14 and, by his mandates, he blotted out the handwriting of our debts, which handwriting existed against us, and took it from the midst, and affixed it to his cross.
yacca daNPAjnjArUpaM RNapatram asmAkaM viruddham AsIt tat pramArjjitavAn zalAkAbhiH kruzE baddhvA dUrIkRtavAMzca|
15 And, by yielding up his body, he showed contempt for principalities and authorities; and put them to shame, openly, in his own person.
kinjca tEna rAjatvakarttRtvapadAni nistEjAMsi kRtvA parAjitAn ripUniva pragalbhatayA sarvvESAM dRSTigOcarE hrEpitavAn|
16 Let no one therefore disquiet you about food and drink, or about the distinctions of festivals, and new moons, and sabbaths;
atO hEtOH khAdyAkhAdyE pEyApEyE utsavaH pratipad vizrAmavArazcaitESu sarvvESu yuSmAkaM nyAyAdhipatirUpaM kamapi mA gRhlIta|
17 which were shadows of the things then future; but the body is the Messiah.
yata EtAni chAyAsvarUpANi kintu satyA mUrttiH khrISTaH|
18 And let no one wish, by abasing the mind, to bring you under bonds, that ye subject yourselves to the worship of angels; while he is prying into that which he hath not seen, and is vainly inflated in his fleshly mind,
aparanjca namratA svargadUtAnAM sEvA caitAdRzam iSTakarmmAcaran yaH kazcit parOkSaviSayAn pravizati svakIyazArIrikabhAvEna ca mudhA garvvitaH san
19 and holdeth not the head, from which the whole body is framed and constructed, with joints and members, and groweth with the growth given of God.
sandhibhiH zirAbhizcOpakRtaM saMyuktanjca kRtsnaM zarIraM yasmAt mUrddhata IzvarIyavRddhiM prApnOti taM mUrddhAnaM na dhArayati tEna mAnavEna yuSmattaH phalApaharaNaM nAnujAnIta|
20 For if ye are dead with the Messiah from the rudiments of the world, why are ye judged as if ye were living in the world?
yadi yUyaM khrISTEna sArddhaM saMsArasya varNamAlAyai mRtA abhavata tarhi yai rdravyai rbhOgEna kSayaM gantavyaM
21 But, touch thou not, and taste thou not, and handle thou not:
tAni mA spRza mA bhuMkSva mA gRhANEti mAnavairAdiSTAn zikSitAMzca vidhIn
22 for these things perish in the using; and they are the commandments and doctrines of men.
AcarantO yUyaM kutaH saMsArE jIvanta iva bhavatha?
23 And they seem to have a kind of wisdom, in a show of humility, and of the fear of God, and of not sparing the body; not in any thing of excellence, but in things subservient to the body.
