Vakolosai 2
1 Nigana mmanyai chanihenga lihengu chakukangamala ndava yinu, ndava ya vandu va Laodikea na ndava ya vandu voha vevangakonganeka na nene.
For I would have you know what combat I have for you, and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh;
2 Nikita chenichi muni kwa kuvakangamalisa mitima kangi kuletwa pamonga muuganu muni mumemeswa mota za kumanya uchakaka. Muni muhotola kumanya mambu gegafiyiki na Chapanga, mambu ago ndi Kilisitu mwene.
to the end that their hearts may be encouraged, being united together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to [the] full knowledge of the mystery of God;
3 Mugati yaki mwene vifiyiki vindu vyamahele na luhala na umanya wa Chapanga.
in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
4 Hinu, nikuvajovela, mkoto kuyidikila kukongwa na mundu yoyoha kwa malovi ga udese hati ngati ga kuchenjela.
And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.
5 Muni, pamonga na nene kuvya patali na nyenye kwa higa, nambu nivili pamonga na nyenye mumtima, ukuvaholalela neju, na niheka kulola mambu ginu chegihamba bwina na kuyima musadika yinu kwa Kilisitu.
For if indeed in the flesh I am absent, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
6 Muni nyenye mumyidikili Yesu Kilisitu mweavili Bambu, muyendelela kutama mukuwungana nayu.
As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
7 Muyendelela kumsadika ngati kusopa mikiga mugati yaki na kuujenga wumi waki na kuvya kuyima mukukangamala musadika ngati chamwawuliwi. Mvya vandu vakusengusa.
rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Mlola, hinu, mundu akotoka kuvayagisa kwa kuvakonga muluhala lwa chimundu wewihuma mumawuliwu ga vandu vevapewili na vagogo vavi na mizuka yeyilongosa pamulima, na lepi Kilisitu mwene!
See that there be no one who shall lead you away as a prey through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the teaching of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 Muni, mugati ya Kilisitu umundu waki, uvi utimilifu woha wa Chapanga,
For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;
10 na nyenye mpewili wumi weudandasiki mukuwungana Kilisitu. Mwene avi na uhotola panani ya mizuka yoha na vakulu voha.
and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,
11 Mukuwungana na Kilisitu nyenye mwadumwili jandu, nambu lepi yeyikitiwa na vandu, ndi yeyikitiwa na Kilisitu mwene. Na yeniyo ndi lihengu la kuvagombola vandu kuhuma mnogo wavi uhakau wewavelikwi nawu mukumbudila Chapanga.
in whom also ye have been circumcised with circumcision not done by hand, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ;
12 Muni pemwabatizwi mwazikiwi pamonga na Kilisitu na mukubatiziwa kwenuko mweayukiswi kwa kusadika makakala ga Chapanga gegamuyukisi Kilisitu.
buried with him in baptism, in which ye have been also raised with [him] through faith of the working of God who raised him from among the dead.
13 Lukumbi lumonga mwavili ngati vandu mwemwafwili ndava ya kumbudila Chapanga, na kubela kudumuliwa jandu muhiga zinu, ndava ya mnogo winu uhakau wemwavelekiwi nawu wavili wakona kuwusiwa. Nambu hinu Chapanga avapelili nyenye wumi pamonga na Kilisitu. Chapanga atilekekekisi kumbudila chapanga kwoha.
And you, being dead in offences and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has quickened together with him, having forgiven us all the offences;
14 Awusili kutali balua yeyayandiki uhakau witu. Hati yeniyo ya malagizu gaki ndi Chapanga ngalihengili mukutihamula ndi ayiwusili chakaka kwa kuyigongomela pamsalaba.
having effaced the handwriting in ordinances which [stood out] against us, which was contrary to us, he has taken it also out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;
15 Penapo pamsalaba Kilisitu avanyagili makakala gavi mizuka yeyitalalila na vakulu, avakitili kuvya chindu cha kuvapela soni palongolo ya vandu kuvalundusa ngati vandu vevakamuliwi kungondo kulangisa avahotwili.
having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.
16 Hinu ndi, mkoto kuyidakila kupewa malagizu na mundu yoyoha kuvala vyakulya na mnyweso, ligono la mselebuko, amala kukamulila mvelu wa ligono la mselebuko, kuvandama kwa mwehi amala Ligono la Kupumulila.
Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,
17 Mambu ngati ago ndi chimuwili cha gala gegibwela, uchakaka wene wa mambu goha ndi Kilisitu.
which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
18 Mkoto kuyidakila kuhamuliwa na mundu yoyoha mwakujikita kuvya wabwina kwa gala geakugawona na kugahololela ngamwene na kukangamala ungolongondi wa udese na kumuyupa mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Mundu mwenuyo muyimu ndava ya mahalo gaki gegakumkonga gegihuma kwa vandu,
Let no one fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humility and worship of angels, entering into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,
19 na alekili kujiwunga na Kilisitu mweavili mutu wa higa yeniyo. Kupitila Kilisitu higa yoha yisopewa makakala na yikamulini pamonga kwa viiwungu vyaki na misekete yaki, na vyene vikula ngati cheigana Chapanga.
and not holding fast the head, from whom all the body, ministered to and united together by the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.
20 Nyenye mfwili pamonga na Kilisitu na kugombolewa mumakakala ga mizuka yeyilongosa mulima. Ndava kyani mwakona mwitama ngati vandu va mulima uwu? Ndava kyani myidakila malagizu ngati aga?
If ye have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why as [if] alive in [the] world do ye subject yourselves to ordinances?
21 “Mkoto kukamula ichi,” “Mkoto kumihyanga chila,” “Mkoto kupamisa chila!”
Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,
22 Mambu genago goha ndi ndava ya vindu vyavihalabika pevitumika ndu, genago ndi malagizu na mawuliwu ga vandu ndu.
(things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]: ) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,
23 Chakaka, malagizu genago gilolekana kuvya ngati yina luhala munjila ya kumuyupa Chapanga yemukujikitila mwavene. Kukangamalisa ungolongondi na kuyilongosa higa kwa ukali, nambu yangali mana mukubesa mnogo wa higa.
(which have indeed an appearance of wisdom in voluntary worship, and humility, and harsh treatment of the body, not in a certain honour, ) to [the] satisfaction of the flesh.
