Colossians 2
1 In particular, I want you to realize that I am (exerting myself very greatly/working very hard) on your behalf, on behalf of those who are in Laodicea [city], and on behalf of all those others who have not seen me personally.
Mert akarom, hogy tudtotokra legyen, hogy milyen nagy tusakodásom van ti érettetek, és azokért, kik Laodiczeában vannak, és mindazokért, a kik nem láttak engem személy szerint e testben;
2 I am doing this in order that they and you [SYN] might be strengthened [spiritually] as you are united in loving [one another]. And I am doing this in order that they and you might fully and thoroughly [DOU] understand the message that God has now revealed; that is, in order that they and you might truly know the message from God our Father and about Christ,
Hogy vígasztalást vegyen az ő szívök, egybeköttetvén a szeretetben, és hogy eljussanak az értelem meggyőződésének teljes gazdagságára, az Isten és az Atya és a Krisztus ama titkának megismerésére,
3 who alone is able to cause them and you to understand thoroughly [DOU] [this very important message].
A melyben van a bölcsességnek és ismeretnek minden kincse elrejtve.
4 I am telling you this in order that no one may deceive you by persuasive arguments;
Ezt pedig azért mondom, hogy valaki titeket rá ne szedjen hitető beszéddel.
5 because, even though I am absent from you physically, I am very concerned about you. At the same time, I am rejoicing because I know that you are united [with each other] and that you believe firmly in Christ.
Mert jóllehet testben távol vagyok tőletek, mindazáltal lélekben veletek vagyok, örülvén és látván ti köztetek a jó rendet és Krisztusba vetett hiteteknek erősségét.
6 In a way that is (consistent/in harmony) with [the message that] you received about Christ Jesus, who is our Lord, conduct yourselves as you should, since you have a close relationship with him.
Azért, a miképen vettétek a Krisztus Jézust, az Urat, akképen járjatok Ő benne,
7 Specifically, continue believing and practicing [MET, DOU] what you were first taught about Christ. Continue to do this more and more; continue to fIrmly believe all the true teaching, just like [Epaphras] taught it to you. And continue thanking [God, our Father], very much [for all that he has done for you].
Meggyökerezvén és tovább épülvén Ő benne, és megerősödvén a hitben, a miképen arra taníttattatok, bővölködvén abban hálaadással.
8 Make sure that no one forces you [(pl)] to become his disciples [MET] by his teaching you a religious philosophy/doctrine that is worthless and false. Such a philosophy is false because it teaches what mere human beings think, because it teaches people elementary regulations/rules [that are concerned merely with what is external/physical], and because it teaches what is contrary to [the true teaching about] Christ.
Meglássátok, hogy senki ne legyen, a ki bennetek zsákmányt vet a bölcselkedés és üres csalás által, mely emberek rendelése szerint, a világ elemi tanításai szerint, és nem a Krisztus szerint való:
9 It is in Christ’s body that God lives completely.
Mert Ő benne lakozik az istenségnek egész teljessége testileg,
10 And you are spiritually complete because you have a close relationship with Christ, who rules over every other ruler.
És ti Ő benne vagytok bételjesedve, a ki feje minden fejedelemségnek és hatalmasságnak;
11 Specifically, because of your close relationship with Christ, it is as though [MET] you were circumcised {Christ circumcised you} [spiritually]. This does not mean that someone circumcised you physically [MTY], but it means that Christ completely removed your self-directed nature.
A kiben körül is metéltettetek kéz nélkül való körülmetéléssel, levetkezvén az érzéki bűnök testét a Krisztus körülmetélésében;
12 And specifically, when you were baptized, [it was as though] [MET] you [had died and] were buried with Christ, and [it was as though] [MET] God caused you to live again with Christ as a result of your believing that God acted powerfully; specifically, by your believing that God caused Christ to become alive again.
Eltemettetvén Ő vele együtt a keresztségben, a kiben egyetemben fel is támasztattatok az Isten erejébe vetett hit által, a ki feltámasztá Őt a halálból.
13 And specifically, you [who are non-Jews], because of your sins, you were [spiritually] dead [before you trusted in Christ]. You were uncircumcised [spiritually]; that is, your self-directed nature controlled you. Nevertheless, it was you whom God caused to become alive [spiritually because of their close relationship] [MET] with Christ. And specifically, God forgave us all our sins.
És titeket, kik holtak valátok a bűnökben és a ti testeteknek körülmetéletlenségében, megelevenített együtt Ő vele, megbocsátván minden bűnötöket,
14 [It is just] as [though] he canceled ([the charges] against us/the sins [that we had committed]) for which [God] will punish us. And [it was just] as [though] [MET] it was [the charges on] that document/paper that he canceled by nailing them to the cross [when they nailed Christ on the cross].
Az által, hogy eltörölte a parancsolatokban ellenünk szóló kézírást, a mely ellenünkre volt nekünk, és azt eltette az útból, odaszegezvén azt a keresztfára;
15 And specifically, God defeated the [evil] spirit beings that rule, and he demonstrated/showed that publicly; that is, he triumphed over them as a result of what [Christ did].
Lefegyverezvén a fejedelemségeket és a hatalmasságokat, őket bátran mutogatta, diadalt vévén rajtok abban.
16 So disregard anyone who says that God will punish you because you eat [certain foods] and because you drink [certain drinks] or because [you do not celebrate] special [yearly] festivals or celebrate the time when the new moon [appears] or weekly (Sabbaths/Jewish days of rest).
Senki azért titeket meg ne ítéljen evésért, vagy ivásért, avagy ünnep, vagy újhold, vagy szombat dolgában:
17 [Disregard such people] because those [regulations/rules about food and drink and festivals] are [only] like a shadow [MET] [that is cast by something that is approaching; that is, they merely represent] the real spiritual blessings that Christ [has given to you].
Melyek csak árnyékai a következendő dolgoknak, de a valóság a Krisztusé.
18 Disregard those who say that God will punish you because [you do not worship God in the way that] they say [that you should]; that is, they insist that you should humiliate yourselves and that you should worship the angels. [Disregard such people] since they base their authority on things that they have never seen, and since they are proud without reason because their self-directed nature [controls] what they think,
Senki tőletek a pálmát el ne vegye, kedvét találván alázatoskodásban és az angyalok tisztelésében, a melyeket nem látott, olyakat tudakozván, ok nélkül felfuvalkodván az ő testének értelmével.
19 and since they do not teach the true teaching about Christ [MET]. [Christ is the one who causes all of his people to develop/grow spiritually as God plans that they should develop/grow, just like] [MET] a person’s head directs how his body grows, as it is held together by its joints and ligaments.
És nem ragaszkodván a Főhöz, a Kiből az egész test, a kapcsok és kötelek által segedelmet vévén és egybeszerkesztetvén, nevekedik az Isten szerint való nevekedéssel.
20 [It is as though] [MET] you died with Christ. So [you no longer have to obey] elementary regulations/rules [that are concerned merely with what is external/physical, just like a dead person no longer has to do anything]. So, do not submit to regulations/rules
Ha meghalván a Krisztussal, megszabadultatok e világ elemi tanításaitól, miért terheltetitek magatokat, mintha e világban élők volnátok, efféle rendelésekkel:
21 such as ‘Do not handle [certain things]’, ‘Do not taste [certain things]’, ‘Do not touch [certain things]’, as if you still had to obey such regulations/rules.
Ne fogd meg, meg se kóstold, még csak ne is illesd.
22 All those things are intended to cease to exist when we use them. [And do not obey such regulations/rules], because they are what mere human teachers command and teach.
(A mik mind a velök való élés által elfogyasztásra vannak rendelve), az emberek parancsolatai és tanításai szerint?
23 [Do not obey such] regulations/rules; they only cause people to do what their self-directed nature wants to do. [Those regulations] seem to be wise because they [urge people to] worship as mere human teachers have decided. [They urge] that [people] should humiliate themselves, and that [people] should treat their bodies harshly. But those regulations/rules do not help [people] at all to not do the sinful things that their self-directed nature wants to do.
A melyek bölcsességnek látszanak ugyan a magaválasztotta istentiszteletben és alázatoskodásban és a test gyötrésében; de nincs bennök semmi becsülni való, mivelhogy a test hízlalására valók.
