Colossians 2
1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Hoæu dakle da vi znate koliku borbu imam za vas i za one što su u Laodikiji i u Jerapolju, i za sve koji ne vidješe lica mojega u tijelu,
2 That their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Da se utješe srca njihova, i da se stegnu u ljubavi, i u svakome bogatstvu punoga razuma, na poznanje tajne Boga i oca i Hrista,
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
U kojoj je sve blago premudrosti i razuma sakriveno.
4 And this I say, lest any man should deceive you with enticing words.
A ovo govorim, da vas niko ne prevari slatkijem rijeèima.
5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
Jer ako tijelom i nijesam kod vas, ali sam duhom s vama, radujuæi se i videæi vaš red i tvrðu vaše vjere u Hrista.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Kako dakle primiste Hrista Isusa Gospoda onako živite u njemu,
7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Ukorijenjeni i nazidani u njemu i utvrðeni vjerom kao što nauèiste, izobilujuæi u njoj zahvalnošæu.
8 Beware lest any man make a prey of you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Braæo! èuvajte se da vas ko ne zarobi filozofijom i praznom prijevarom, po kazivanju èovjeèijemu, po nauci svijeta, a ne po Hristu.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Jer u njemu živi svaka punina Božanstva tjelesno.
10 And ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power:
I da budete ispunjeni u njemu koji je glava svakome poglavarstvu i vlasti;
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
U kome i obrezani biste obrezanjem nerukotvorenijem, odbacivši tijelo grijeha mesnijeh obrezanjem Hristovijem;
12 Buried with him in baptism, in which also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Zakopavši se s njim krštenjem, u kojemu s njim i ustaste vjerom sile Boga koji ga vaskrsnu iz mrtvijeh.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
I vas koji ste bili mrtvi u grijesima i u neobrezanju tijela svojega, oživljeo je s njim, poklonivši nam sve grijehe,
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
I izbrisavši pismo uredbe koja bješe protiv nas, i to uzevši sa srijede prikova ga na krstu;
15 And having disarmed principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
I svukavši poglavarstva i vlasti izvede ih na ugled slobodno, i pobijedi ih na njemu.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths:
Da vas dakle niko ne osuðuje za jelo ili za piæe, ili za kakav praznik, ili za mladine, ili za subote;
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Koje je sve bilo sjen od onoga što šæaše da doðe, i tijelo je Hristovo.
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Niko da vas ne vara, po svojoj volji izabranom poniznošæu i službom anðela, istražujuæi i što ne vidje, i uzalud nadimajuæi se umom tijela svojega,
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
A ne držeæi se glave, iz koje je sve tijelo s pomoæu zglavaka i sveza sastavljeno, i raste za rast Božij.
20 Therefore if ye are dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Ako dakle umrijeste s Hristom stihijama svijeta, zašto se kao živeæi u svijetu prepirete:
21 ( Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Ne dohvati se, ne okusi, ne opipaj; koje je sve na pogibao onome koji èini,
22 Which all are to perish with the using; ) according to the commandments and doctrines of men?
Po zapovijestima i naukama ljudskima?
23 These things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Koje je samo po rijeèi premudrost samovoljno izbrane službe i poniznosti i nešteðenja tijela, ne za èast kaku, za punjenje tijela.
