Θέλω γὰρ ὑμᾶς εἰδέναι ἡλίκον ἀγῶνα ἔχω (ὑπὲρ *N(k)O*) ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ καὶ ὅσοι οὐχ ἑόρακαν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐν σαρκί,
2 Cholinga changa nʼchakuti alimbikitsidwe ndi kuyanjana pamodzi mʼchikondi, akhale odzaza ndi nzeru zomvetsa zinthu, ndi kuti azindikire chinsinsi cha Mulungu, chimene ndi Khristu.
ἵνα παρακληθῶσιν αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν (συμβιβασθέντες *N(k)O*) ἐν ἀγάπῃ καὶ εἰς (πᾶν *N(k)O*) (τὸ *o*) (πλοῦτος *N(k)O*) τῆς πληροφορίας τῆς συνέσεως εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν τοῦ μυστηρίου τοῦ θεοῦ (καὶ *K*) (πατρὸς *KO*) (καὶ *K*) (τοῦ *KO*) Χριστοῦ,
3 Mwa Iyeyu muli chuma chonse chobisidwa cha nzeru ndi chidziwitso.
ἐν ᾧ εἰσιν πάντες οἱ θησαυροὶ τῆς σοφίας καὶ (τῆς *k*) γνώσεως ἀπόκρυφοι·
4 Ndikukuwuzani zimenezi kuti wina aliyense asakunamizeni ndi kukukopani ndi mawu ake.
τοῦτο (δὲ *ko*) λέγω, ἵνα (μηδεὶς *N(k)O*) ὑμᾶς παραλογίζηται ἐν πιθανολογίᾳ·
5 Pakuti ngakhale sindili pakati panu mʼthupi, ndili nanu pamodzi mu mzimu, ndipo ndikukondwa kuona kuti mukulongosola bwino zonse ndiponso kuti chikhulupiriro chanu mwa Khristu ndi chokhazikika ndithu.
εἰ γὰρ καὶ τῇ σαρκὶ ἄπειμι, ἀλλὰ τῷ πνεύματι σὺν ὑμῖν εἰμι, χαίρων καὶ βλέπων ὑμῶν τὴν τάξιν καὶ τὸ στερέωμα τῆς εἰς Χριστὸν πίστεως ὑμῶν.
6 Tsono popeza munavomereza Khristu Yesu kukhala Ambuye anu, mupitirire kukhala mwa Iyeyo.
Ὡς οὖν παρελάβετε τὸν Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν τὸν κύριον, ἐν αὐτῷ περιπατεῖτε
7 Mukhale ozikika mizu mwa Iye, ndipo moyo wanu umangike pa Iye. Mulimbike mʼchikhulupiriro monga momwe munaphunzirira, ndipo kuyamika kwanu kusefukire.
ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ ἐποικοδομούμενοι ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ βεβαιούμενοι (ἐν *ko*) τῇ πίστει καθὼς ἐδιδάχθητε, περισσεύοντες (ἐν αὐτῇ *ko*) ἐν εὐχαριστίᾳ.
8 Musalole kuti wina aliyense akutengeni ukapolo ndi mʼnzeru zachinyengo zolongosola zinthu zozama, zomwe zimachokera ku miyambo ya anthu ndi ku maganizo awo okhudza za dziko lapansi osati kwa Khristu.
Βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς ἔσται ὁ συλαγωγῶν διὰ τῆς φιλοσοφίας καὶ κενῆς ἀπάτης κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, κατὰ τὰ στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου καὶ οὐ κατὰ Χριστόν·
9 Pakuti mʼthupi la Khristu mumakhala umulungu wonse wathunthu.
ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ κατοικεῖ πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τῆς θεότητος σωματικῶς,
10 Ndipo inunso ndinu athunthu mwa Khristu. Iye ndiye mtsogoleri wa pamwamba pa maufumu onse ndi maulamuliro wonse.
καὶ ἐστὲ ἐν αὐτῷ πεπληρωμένοι, ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλὴ πάσης ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐξουσίας·
11 Mwa Iye inunso munachita mdulidwe mʼthupi lanu, osati mdulidwe ochitidwa ndi manja a anthu ayi, koma ochitidwa ndi Khristu pamene anavula khalidwe lanu lauchimo lija.
ἐν ᾧ καὶ περιετμήθητε περιτομῇ ἀχειροποιήτῳ ἐν τῇ ἀπεκδύσει τοῦ σώματος (τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν *K*) τῆς σαρκός, ἐν τῇ περιτομῇ τοῦ Χριστοῦ,
12 Mu ubatizo, munayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi Khristu ndi kuukitsidwa naye pamodzi, pokhulupirira mphamvu za Mulungu amene anamuukitsa kwa akufa.
συνταφέντες αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ (βαπτισμῷ *N(k)O*) ἐν ᾧ καὶ συνηγέρθητε διὰ τῆς πίστεως τῆς ἐνεργείας τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἐγείραντος αὐτὸν ἐκ (τῶν *k*) νεκρῶν.
13 Pamene munali akufa chifukwa cha machimo anu ndi osachita mdulidwe mʼmitima mwanu, Mulungu anakupatsani moyo mwa Khristu. Iye anatikhululukira machimo athu onse.
Καὶ ὑμᾶς νεκροὺς ὄντας ἐν τοῖς παραπτώμασιν καὶ τῇ ἀκροβυστίᾳ τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν, συνεζωοποίησεν (ὑμᾶς *NO*) σὺν αὐτῷ χαρισάμενος ἡμῖν πάντα τὰ παραπτώματα·
14 Anafafaniza kalata ya ngongole yathu, pomwe panali milandu yotitsutsa ife. Iye anayichotsa, nayikhomera pa mtanda.
ἐξαλείψας τὸ καθ᾽ ἡμῶν χειρόγραφον τοῖς δόγμασιν ὃ ἦν ὑπεναντίον ἡμῖν, καὶ αὐτὸ ἦρκεν ἐκ τοῦ μέσου προσηλώσας αὐτὸ τῷ σταυρῷ·
15 Ndipo atalanda zida maufumu ndi maulamuliro, Iye anawachititsa manyazi powayendetsa pamaso pa anthu onse atawagonjetsa ndi mtanda.
ἀπεκδυσάμενος τὰς ἀρχὰς καὶ τὰς ἐξουσίας ἐδειγμάτισεν ἐν παρρησίᾳ, θριαμβεύσας αὐτοὺς ἐν αὐτῷ.
16 Nʼchifukwa chake musalole wina aliyense kukuzengani mlandu chifukwa cha zimene mumadya kapena kumwa, kapena za masiku achikondwerero cha chipembedzo, za chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano, kapena za tsiku la Sabata.
Μὴ οὖν τις ὑμᾶς κρινέτω ἐν βρώσει (καὶ *N(k)O*) ἐν πόσει ἢ ἐν μέρει ἑορτῆς ἢ νεομηνίας ἢ σαββάτων,
17 Zimenezi ndi chithunzithunzi chabe cha zinthu zimene zikubwera, koma choonadi chenicheni chikupezeka mwa Khristu.
ἅ ἐστιν σκιὰ τῶν μελλόντων, τὸ δὲ σῶμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
18 Musalole kuti wina aliyense amene amakonda kudzichepetsa mwachiphamaso ndi kumapembedza angelo akulepheretseni kukalandira mphotho. Munthu woteroyu amayankhulanso mwatsatanetsatane zinthu zimene akuti anaziona mʼmasomphenya. Anthuwa ndi odzitukumula ndi fundo zopanda pake zochokera mʼmaganizo mwawo amene si auzimu.
μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς καταβραβευέτω θέλων ἐν ταπεινοφροσύνῃ καὶ θρησκείᾳ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἃ (μὴ *K*) ἑόρακεν ἐμβατεύων εἰκῇ φυσιούμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ νοὸς τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ,
19 Iwo sakulumikizananso ndi mutu, kumene kumachokera thupi lonse, logwirizidwa ndi kumangiriridwa pamodzi ndi mʼmitsempha yake ndi mnofu, limene limakula monga mmene Mulungu afunira kuti likulire.
καὶ οὐ κρατῶν τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐξ οὗ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα διὰ τῶν ἁφῶν καὶ συνδέσμων ἐπιχορηγούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον αὔξει τὴν αὔξησιν τοῦ θεοῦ.
20 Popeza munafa pamodzi ndi Khristu kusiyana nayo miyambo ya dziko lapansi lino, nʼchifukwa chiyani mukukhalanso ngati a dziko lapansi lino? Bwanji mukumvera malamulo monga awa:
Εἰ (οὖν *K*) ἀπεθάνετε σὺν (τῷ *k*) Χριστῷ ἀπὸ τῶν στοιχείων τοῦ κόσμου, τί ὡς ζῶντες ἐν κόσμῳ δογματίζεσθε;
21 “Usagwire chakuti,” “Usalawe chakuti,” “Usakhudze chakuti?”
μὴ ἅψῃ μηδὲ γεύσῃ μηδὲ θίγῃς·
22 Malamulo amenewa amakhudza zinthu zimene zimatha zikamagwiritsidwa ntchito, ndipo malamulo ndi zophunzitsa za anthu chabe.
ἅ ἐστιν πάντα εἰς φθορὰν τῇ ἀποχρήσει κατὰ τὰ ἐντάλματα καὶ διδασκαλίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων·
23 Ndithu malamulo oterewa amaoneka ngati anzeru, pakuti amalamulira anthu ambiri pa zachipembedzo ndi pa zakudzichepetsa kwa chiphamaso, ndi pa zakuzunza thupi lawo, koma alibe mphamvu zoletsa kuchita zofuna za thupilo.
ἅτινά ἐστιν λόγον μὲν ἔχοντα σοφίας ἐν ἐθελοθρησκίᾳ καὶ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ καὶ ἀφειδίᾳ σώματος, οὐκ ἐν τιμῇ τινι πρὸς πλησμονὴν τῆς σαρκός.
