Qolaasiyasa 2
1 Ta hinttewunne Loodoqiya kataman de7iya asaas, hessadakka tana ayfen be7iboonna asa ubbaas ay mela baaxetiyakko hintte erana mela koyays.
I want you to know how great is my concern for you and those in Laodicea, even all who have not met me personally,
2 Ta baaxetiya gaasoykka entti bantta wozanan minnidi, siiqon qashettidi, polo gidida kumetha akeeka duretethaa demmidi Xoossaa xuuraa Kiristtoosa erana melassa.
that their hearts may be encouraged, being united in love and into a great wealth of confident understanding, into a real knowledge of the mystery of the God and Father and of the Christ,
3 Iyan Xoossay minjjida eraynne cinccatetha ubbay de7ees.
in whom all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge are hidden.
4 Ta hessa oonikka hinttena cimo qaalan balethonna mela koyada gays.
Now I say this so that no one may deceive you with specious arguments.
5 Ta hinttefe haakkada de7ikkoka ayyaanan hinttera de7ays. Hintte duussaa maaranne Kiristtoosa hintte minnidi ammaneyssa be7ada ufayttays.
For although in fact I am physically absent, yet my spirit is with you, rejoicing as I observe your orderliness and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
6 Hintte Godaa Kiristtoos Yesuusa ekkidayssada iyan de7ite.
So then, keep on walking in the Christ, Jesus the Sovereign, just as you received Him,
7 Iyan xapho yeddite; iyan keexettite. Hintte tamaaridayssada ammanon minnite; Xoossaas kumidi palahida galataa immite.
having been rooted and being built up in Him and being established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Kiristtoosappe gidonnashin, asa woganinne ha alamiya coo wogan katida timirttiyaninne asappe yida eratethan oonikka hinttena cimi balethidi di77onna mela naagettite.
Be careful that no one captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ.
9 Xoossaa Xoossatethay Kiristtoosa asatethan kumethi de7ees.
Because all the Fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him in bodily form,
10 Hintteka maatasinne wolqqa ubbaas huu7e gidiya Kiristtoosan kumideta.
and you are complete in Him who is the head over all rule and authority.
11 Hintte Kiristtoosa ammanidi qaxxarettideta. Hessika asa kushen gidonnashin, hinttena iita hanotethaafe diggiya Kiristtoosan oosettida qaxxaretethi.
In Him you were also ‘circumcised’ by the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, not with a circumcision done by hands but with the circumcision of the Christ,
12 Hintte xammaqettida wode Kiristtoosara issife moogettidi, Kiristtoosa hayqoppe denthida Xoossaa wolqqaa ammanidi, Kiristtoosara issife denddideta.
having been buried with Him in the baptism. In Him you were also raised together through your faith in the productive power of the God who raised Him from among the dead.
13 Hinttee, hintte nagaraa gishonne hintte ceega asatethaa qaxxarettonna gisho hayqqidi de7ishin, Xoossay hintte nagaraa atto gis. Kiristtoosara hinttew de7o immis.
Yes you, though being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh—He has made you alive together with Him; having forgiven us all our trespasses;
14 I nuna mootiyanne nuura eqettiya, nu bolla xaafettida acuwa daakkidi masqaliya bolla dhishidi ogeppe diggis.
having wiped out the written record about us that was against us (based on the ordinances), indeed He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;
15 Kiristtoosi wolqqatanne maatata masqaliyan xoonidi, entta ola danccuwa bilisidi, di7ettida asada entta qonccen yuushshi bessis.
having stripped the principalities and the authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, having triumphed over them by it [the cross].
16 Hessa gisho, miyaban woykko uyiyaban, baale gallas woykko ageeni xeeriya qammaa bonchchon oonikka hintte bolla pirddofo.
So do not let anyone judge you about food or drink, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or Sabbaths,
17 Hayssati sinthafe yaanaw de7iyabatas eesho, shin tumay Kiristtoosaa.
which things are but a shadow of those to come, while the body is Christ's.
18 Qoodheppe qommo ashkketethaninne kiitanchcho goynnon ceeqettiya oonikka hinttena hintte woytuwappe ashshofo. Hessa mela asi ba be7ida qonccethan nashettishe ba asho qofan coo otorttees.
Nor let anyone disqualify you, taking pleasure in a subservience and devotion to the angels, ‘taking possession’ of things that he has not seen, being puffed up by his carnal mind to no useful purpose,
19 Hessa mela asaas huu7e gidida Kiristtoosara gaytethi baawa. I asatetha ubbaa shayaninne kesson keson gathi oythidi muzidi dichchees. Xoossay hessa mela ogen asatetha ubbaas dichchi immees.
and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, supported and held together by its joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
20 Hintte Kiristtoosara hayqqidi ha alamiya haariya ayyaanata wolqqaafe la77a keyideta. Yaatin, ays shaakettonna asada gididi ha wogatas haretetii?
Now then, since you died with Christ away from the basic principles of the world, why, as though still living in it, are you subjecting yourselves to regulations
21 He wogati, “Oykkofa; laaccofa; bochchofa” geetetteyssata.
—Don't handle! Don't taste! Don't touch!—
22 Ha ubbay asa woganne timirtte gidiya gisho ooso bolla pee7idaappe guye dhayana.
(all of which result in corruption through overuse) according to the commands and teachings of men?
23 Ha kiitati bonchchonne cinccatethi daanidi benttanaw dandda7osona. Ha wogati Xoosse daro dosisiyaba, ashkkenne hintte asatethaa haarisiyabaa daanosona, shin nu iita amotetha bolla wolqqi enttaw baawa.
Such things do indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and subservience and asceticism, but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
