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.
Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaad ogaataan sida weyn oo aan idiinku dadaalayo idinka iyo kuwa La'odikiya jooga iyo in alla intii aan arag wejigayga anoo nool;
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,
inay qalbiyadoodu dhiirranaadaan, iyagoo jacayl isugu xidhan, iyo inay wada helaan hodantinimada hubaasha waxgarashada, inay ogaadaan qarsoodiga Ilaah, kaas oo ah Masiixa.
3 who alone is able to cause them and you to understand thoroughly [DOU] [this very important message].
Isaga waxaa ku wada qarsoon waxyaalaha qaaliga ah oo dhan oo ah xigmadda iyo aqoonta.
4 I am telling you this in order that no one may deceive you by persuasive arguments;
Taas waxaan u leeyahay inaan ninna idinku khiyaanayn hadal sasabasho ah.
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.
In kastoo aan idinka maqnahay xagga jidhka, weliba waan idinla joogaa xagga ruuxa, anigoo faraxsan oo fiirinaya nidaamkiinna iyo adkaanta rumaysadkiinna, xagga Masiixa.
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.
Haddaba sidaad u aqbasheen Rabbi Ciise Masiix, ku socda,
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].
idinkoo isaga xidid ku yeeshay oo ku dhismay, oo rumaysadkiinna ku adkaaday, taas oo ah sidii laydiin baray, oo aad u mahadnaqa.
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.
Iska jira yaan ninna idinku dhicin faylosofiyadiisa iyo khiyaanadiisa bilaashka ah xagga caadooyinka dadka iyo waxyaalaha dunida ugu horreeya oo aan ka iman xagga Masiixa,
9 It is in Christ’s body that God lives completely.
waayo, buuxnaanta Ilaahnimada oo dhammu waa ku jirtaa isagoo jidh leh,
10 And you are spiritually complete because you have a close relationship with Christ, who rules over every other ruler.
oo waa laydin buuxiyey idinkoo ku jira isagoo ah madaxa taaliye kasta iyo amar kasta.
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.
Oo isaga xaggiisaa laydinkaga guday gudniin aan gacmo lagu samayn markii aad gudniinta Masiixa ku xoorteen jidhka aadmiga.
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.
Idinka waxaa isaga laydinkula aasay baabtiiska, kaas oo isaga laydinkula soo kiciyey xagga rumaysadka aad u qabtaan xoogga Ilaah oo shaqeeya oo isaga kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kiciyey.
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.
Idinkoo ku dhintay xadgudubyadiinnii iyo buuryoqabnimadii jidhkiinna ayuu weliba isaga idinla soo noolaysiiyey, isagoo inaga cafiyey xadgudubyadeennii oo dhan.
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].
Wuxuu baabbi'iyey dacwadii inoogu qornayd qaynuunnada oo inaga geesta ahayd, oo weliba intuu fogeeyey ayuu ku qodbay iskutallaabta.
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].
Isagu hubkuu ka qaaday taliyayaasha iyo kuwa amarka leh, oo bayaan ayuu u ceebeeyey, isagoo iyaga kaga guulaysanaya.
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).
Haddaba ninna yuusan idinku xukumin wax ku saabsan cunto ama cabbid ama maalin iid ah ama bil dhalatay ama maalmaha sabtida,
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].
kuwaas oo ah hooska waxyaalaha iman doona, laakiinse jidhka waxaa iska leh Masiixa.
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,
Ninna yuusan abaalgudkiinna idinka dulmin isagoo idin oggolaysiinaya is-hoosaysiinta iyo malaa'ig caabudidda, oo dhex gelaya waxyaalaha uusan arkin, oo micnela'aan ugu kibraya maankiisa aadmiga,
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.
oo aan xajisanayn Madaxa jidhka oo dhammu wax ka helo, oo xubnaha iyo seedaha isku haysta, oo kordhinta Ilaah ku kordha.
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
Haddii aad Masiixa kala dhimateen waxyaalaha dunida ugu horreeya, maxaad sidii idinkoo dunida ku nool isaga hoosaysiisaan qaynuunnada,
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.
kuwaas oo leh, Ha qaban, Ha dhadhamin, Ha taaban?
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.
Waxyaalahaas oo dhan ayaa isticmaal ku wada baabba'aya. Qaynuunnadu waxay ka yimaadeen amarrada iyo cilmiga dadka.
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.
Waxyaalahaasu sida haqiiqada ah waxay leeyihiin muuqasho xigmad ah xagga caabudidda qof naftiisa ku qasbo iyo is-hoosaysiinta iyo saxariirinta jidhka, laakiinse iyagu faa'iido ma leh ay ku hor joogsadaan dherjinta jidhka.
