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.
Hočem namreč, da veste, kako hud boj imam zaradi vas, in njih, ki so v Laodiceji, in vse, kateri niso videli obličja mojegu v mesu,
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,
Da se potolažijo njih srca, združenih v ljubezni, in za vso bogastvo polnosti razuma, za spoznanje skrivnosti Boga in očeta in Kristusa,
3 who alone is able to cause them and you to understand thoroughly [DOU] [this very important message].
V katerem so vsi zakladi modrosti in spoznanja skriti.
4 I am telling you this in order that no one may deceive you by persuasive arguments;
To pa pravim, da vas kdo ne prevara sè sladko besedo;
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.
Kajti če sem tudi po mesu daleč, v duhu sem vendar z vami, radujoč se in gledajoč vašo rednost in trdnost vere vaše v Kristusa.
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.
Kakor ste torej prejeli Kristusa Jezusa Gospoda, živite v njem;
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].
Ukoreninjeni in sezidani v njem in utrjeni v veri, kakor ste se učili, rastoč v njej v zahvaljevanji.
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.
Glejte, da vas kdo ne zapleni z modrijanstvom in prazno prevaro, po izročilu človeškem, po prvinah sveta in ne po Kristusu;
9 It is in Christ’s body that God lives completely.
Ker v njem biva vsa polnost božanstva telesno,
10 And you are spiritually complete because you have a close relationship with Christ, who rules over every other ruler.
In v njem ste napolnjeni, kateri je glava vsakega gospostva in oblasti;
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.
V katerem ste bili tudi obrezani z obrezo ne storjeno z rokami, ko ste slekli telo mesnih grehov v obrezi Kristusovi;
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.
Vred pokopani z njim v krstu, v katerem ste bili tudi vred zbujeni po veri kreposti Boga, kateri ga je zbudil izmed mrtvih.
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.
In vas, ki ste bili mrtvi v grehih in neobrezi mesa svojega, oživil je z njim vred, odpustivši vam vse grehe;
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].
Izbrisavši rokopis, zoper nas, po postavah, ki je bil nam nasproten, in tega je odpravil, pribivši ga sè žeblji na križ;
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].
Ter slekel je poglavarstva in oblasti, in postavil očitno na ogled slavno zmagavši jih v njem.
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).
Naj vas torej ne sodi kdo v jedi ali pijači, ali gledé praznika ali mlaja ali sobote,
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].
Kar je prihodnjega senca, telo pa Kristusovo.
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,
Nihče naj vas ne prekani hoteč v ponižnosti in čaščenji angelov, ko se peča s tem, česar ni videl, ker ga za nič napihuje mesno čustvo njegovo,
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.
In ker se ne drži glave, iz česar vse telo po členovji in vezéh podpirano in zvezano raste v rasti Božji.
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
Če ste torej umrli s Kristusom prvinam sveta, kaj se vam, kakor da bi v svetu živeli, dajó postave:
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 dotakni se, in ne pokusi, in ne potipaj!"
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.
Kar je vse v pogubo po zlorabi), poleg zapovedi in ukov človeških,
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.
Kar je sicer na videz modrost v samovoljni službi Božji in ponižnosti in neprizanesljivosti proti telesu, v nobenem čislu za napolnjenje mesa."
