Avakholosai 2
1 Ulwakhuva nienogwa muluomanye vuowa niekhahangayiekhagha khuombombo nchienyo, khuovoni vavo valiekhuo Laodikia na khuovoni vavo savambwene pamiho palyuone pha mbieli.
For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 Nievomba ewo ukhuta ienumbula nchavene nchiehovokhe ukwincha ienumbula nchavene nchiehovokhe ukwinch pwuo phanienie khuo luoghano luohala, ukhulumanya inchakhuovuotitu ienchalweli iencha Nguluve, uvie vie Klisiti.
that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,
3 Uvie Khuomwene kyoni eikyuoma eikya luhala nie kya vumanyi fifihiwe.
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
4 Nienchova ewo ukhuta alavasyovagha umunu khuo mamenyu aghakhuvasonga.
Now I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive words.
5 Hange sanielie pwuopanienie nuomwe khiembieli, nielie puopanienie numwe khiemasagho, nihovoka ukhuta eimighendele gyienyo minonu, na makha aghalwiedhikho lyienyo mwa Klisti.
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Nduvu mumwuophieliele uo Klisti Untwa, mughendaghe mumwene.
As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,
7 Mwieyiebataghe muo mwene, ulwakhuva muvekhiewe ukhuova na makha muondwie diekho, nduvuomumanyile, muolutielielaghe ukhuosana.
rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Pwu mulolaghe ukhuta umunu alavatolagha uluhala khuo mamenyu aghakhuvasyova ghagho vuophieliele khuovanu, ukhuokhongana nie ndaghielo iencha nkhielunga, nchincho sanchiloncha khwa Klisti.
Be careful not to allow anyone to captivate you through an empty and deceptive philosophy, according to human tradition, according to the elementary principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 Ulwakhuva khumwene vutwa uvueluolufu woni uwa Nguluve khie mbielu.
For in him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
10 Nayuomwe mukweilaniele khuomwene yuoywa vei intwe gwa vutwa woni uwa vuololeli.
and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power;
11 Khuo mwene mukheghetiwe ukhuokheghetiwa khuokhwa saghakheghite amavokho ukhuofula uombiele ugwa nyama, ukhuokheghetiwa nuo Klisti.
in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;
12 Ulwakhuva mwasieliwe pwupaninie nuo mwene vumuokwonchiwa. Pwu mukhanchukha khulweidiekho khuomakha agha Nguluve, uveianchusinche khuovuofwe.
having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 Umwe upwuomukhafwiele khuo nongwa ncheinyo vusamukheghetiwe eimiveile gyienyo, akhavaviekha ukhuva muolievuomu luninie nuo mwene, pwuo akhatusyiekhiela imbivi nchetuo nchoni.
You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
14 Pwu akhahencha eikhalata yiela yieyo yasimbiwe yieliekhuotuohiegha uvuhieghi uwa mwene, yale nuvutavangwa khuolyuofwe akhahencha ukhuta yieve yiesipali khavieli akhayiefwela pakhiedamihani.
wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
15 Akhahencha amakha nuovuololeli akhanchieveka pavuovalafu nu khuova nchaluhekhela oululutieliele pha khiedhamihani kya mwene.
having disarmed the rulers and authorities, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Umunu atavahieghagha uomwe pakhulya apange pakhunywa, hange ulwakhuva luohekhelo apange umwenchi vuogwiehuoma, apange palienchuva eilivalanche.
Therefore do not let anyone judge you about food and drink, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
17 Imbombo inchi kheipepenchela kya mbombo iechiekwiencha uombieli vie Kliisti.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.
18 Umunu alavapokhagha eikyumukhaviele vuomusana khuolughano ulwa mwene vuvule nukwiesaya khuvasuhwa. Umunu uovyaliewo pwuo iekwingheila muombombo ienchanchie wene nuokhuovasonga mumasagho gha mwene aghakhiembielie.
Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 Sikhuogwiebata uontwe, ghuogwa uombiele gwoni iefielungheilo fya yene na mancheghe viluonghiwe nuo kwiebatana pwuo panienie; hanghe pwuo fiekhuola ukhuokhuola ukwiehoma khwa Nguluve.
and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth.
20 Engave mwafiwiele luonienie nuo Klisti mukhanchielekha iendhaghelo ienchatalile ienchankhieluongha, Pwui kheikhi mukhieviekha mundagheilo, ndavavo vietama mukhielungha:
If you died with Christ from the elementary principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21 “Muliebatagha, hanghe mulavonjagha, hanghe mulabasyagha”?
"Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch"
22 Inchoni iencho nchienangheikhagha vuonchivombeliewa munyghankhongaghe iendagheilo nuluomanyisyo ulwavanu.
(all of which perish with use), according to human commandments and teachings?
23 Imbombo iencho pwuo nchievonekho ukhuta nchaluhala khunchila eiyakwisaya iyomwieveikhiela yuomwe, nukhuosana muokhuololela umbiele ugwavukhali. Hange sanchienoghiele kheinu ukhuosiga khuvuonogwe uwa mbiele.
Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
