Kološanom 2
1 Kajti hočem, da bi vedeli, kako velik boj imam za vas in za te iz Laodikeje in za mnoge, četudi niso videli mojega obraza v mesu,
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 da bodo njihova srca lahko potolažena, stkana skupaj v ljubezni in v vseh bogastvih polnega zagotovila razumevanja, k spoznanju Božje skrivnosti in Očetove in Kristusove;
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, both of the Father and of Christ,
3 v katerem so skriti vsi zakladi modrosti in spoznanja.
in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4 In to pravim, da vas ne bi katerikoli človek preslepil s prepričevalnimi besedami.
Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
5 Kajti čeprav sem odsoten v mesu, sem vendar z vami v duhu in se veselim ter zrem vašo urejenost in neomajnost vaše vere v Kristusa.
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Tako kakor ste torej sprejeli Gospoda Kristusa Jezusa, tako živite v njem.
As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
7 Ukoreninjeni in zgrajeni v njem ter potrjeni v veri, kakor ste bili poučeni in v tem obilni z zahvaljevanjem.
rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
8 Pazite, da vas ne bi katerikoli človek oplenil s filozofijo in prazno prevaro po človeškem izročilu, po temeljnih principih sveta, ne pa po Kristusu.
Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after Christ.
9 Kajti v njem telesno prebiva vsa polnost Božanstva.
For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
10 In vi ste popolni v njem, ki je glava vseh kneževin in oblasti;
and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
11 v katerem ste tudi obrezani z obrezo, narejeno brez rok, s slačenjem grešnega mesenega telesa, s Kristusovo obrezo;
In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ,
12 s krstom pokopani z njim, v katerem ste tudi vi z njim vstali, po veri Božjega delovanja, ki ga je obudil od mrtvih.
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 In vas, mrtve v vaših grehih in neobrezanosti vašega mesa, je on oživil skupaj z njim ter vam odpustil vse grehe
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 in izbrisal rokopis odredb, ki so bile zoper nas, ki nam je bil nasproten in ga odstranil s poti ter ga pribil na svoj križ;
wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
15 in ker imamo pokvarjene kneževine in oblasti, je naredil iz njih javni prikaz, slaveč v tem zmago nad njimi.
Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Ne pustite torej nobenemu človeku, da vas sodi v jedi ali v pijači ali pri spoštovanju svetega dne ali mlaja ali šabatnih dni;
Let no one therefore judge you in eating or drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
17 ki so senca stvari, ki pridejo; toda telo je Kristusovo.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
18 Ne pustite nobenemu človeku, da vas preslepi glede vaše nagrade, [tako da je] prostovoljno ponižen in obožuje angele in se vsiljuje v te stvari, ki jih ni videl, prazno napihnjen s svojim mesenim umom,
Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 ne drži pa se Glave, od katere ima vse telo po sklepih in vezeh nudeno hrano in stkano skupaj raste z rastjo od Boga.
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 Zatorej, če ste s Kristusom mrtvi temeljnim principom sveta, zakaj ste podrejeni odredbam, kakor da živite v svetu
If you died with Christ from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21 (ne dotikaj, ne okušaj, ne prijemaj,
“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
22 ki bodo z uporabo vsi odmrli) po človeških zapovedih in naukih?
(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
23 Katere stvari imajo resnično navidezen prikaz modrosti v pobožnem oboževanju in ponižnosti in zapostavljanju telesa; v zadovoljevanje mesa, ne pa v kakršnokoli vrednost.
These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body, but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
