Kolosa 2
1 Nangmih neh Laodicea kah rhoek ham thingthuelnah mat ka khueh he khaw, hlang boeih loh pumsa kah ka maelhmai he a hmuh pawt te khaw nangmih ming sak ka ngaih.
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you, for those in Laodicea, and for all who have not seen me face to face.
2 Te daengah ni amih kah thinko te a hloep vetih, Khrih neh Pathen kah olhuep mingnah ham lungnah neh ngaikhueknah khuehtawn cungkuem dongah yakmingnah neh n'cului eh.
I want their hearts to be comforted and knit together in love, so that they may have all the riches of being fully assured in their understanding, and so that they may know the mystery of our God and Father and of Christ,
3 Amah khuiah cueihnah khohrhang neh mingnah olhuep cungkuem te om.
in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4 He he ka thui daengah ni nangmih te yoeknah neh n'yoek pawt eh.
I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive speech.
5 Pumsa neh lakhla mai sitoe cakhaw mueihla nen tah nangmih taengah ka om. Omngaih neh aka tueng khaw nangmih kah khuetnetnah, Khrih dongah khangmainah, nangmih kah tangnah pawn ni.
For though I am absent in body, I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
6 Te dongah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih te na doe uh vanbangla amah dongah pongpa uh.
Therefore, just as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to walk in him,
7 Amah dongah yung aka pael tih aka khueng loh n'thuituen vanbangla tangnah dongah cak uh lah. Uemonah neh baetawt uh lah.
being rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Poeksoemnah lamloh a payawk tih hlang kah singyoe bangla hmilhmaknah neh a tlonglai pakhat khaw na om pawt ham ngaithuen uh. Diklai kah a niing la om uh tih Khrih kah la a om uh moenih.
Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men and the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 Amah dongah Pathen coengnah pumrho kah a soepnah la boeih om.
For all the fullness of God's nature dwells bodily in Christ,
10 Te dongah amah dongah ni a. soep la na om uh. Anih tah boeilu neh saithainah boeih kah a lu la om.
and you have been filled by him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
11 Te phoeiah Khrih kah yahvinrhetnah dongah pumsa pum kah duulnah neh amah dongah kutsai mueh yahvinrhetnah neh yahvin na rhet uh.
In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not done by hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ.
12 Baptisma dongah amah neh m'vuei uh tih duek lamkah anih aka thoh Pathen bibi dongkah tangnah rhangneh amah neh na thoo uh coeng.
Having been buried with him in baptism, you have also been raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 Nangmih he aka duek tholhdalhnah neh na pumsa kah pumdul dongah na om uh. Tedae nangmih te amah neh n'thoh tih tholhdalhnah cungkuem khuikah mamih he khodawk a ngai.
And although you were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses
14 Mamih taengkah kut neh a daek oltloek, mamih ham kingkalh la aka om te a huih coeng tih a khoe tih thinglam ah a hen.
by blotting out the certificate of debt that stood against us with its legal demands; he took it away by nailing it to the cross.
15 Boeilu rhoek te a khah tih saithainah te sayalh la a yan. Te nen te amih a na coeng.
He stripped the rulers and authorities of their power and made a public display of them, leading a triumphal procession over them by the cross.
16 Nangmih te khaw caak caak neh an ok dongah khaw, khotue vaengah khaw, hlasae neh Sabbath ah pakhat long khaw n'coel tangloeng boel saeh.
Therefore let no one judge you in regard to food or drink, or in the matter of a feast, a New Moon celebration, or a Sabbath day.
17 Te rhoek te aka lo ham koi kah mueihlip ni. Tedae Khrih pum ni kungpuei.
These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance is Christ.
18 Nangmih te tlayaenah dongah aka hmae neh puencawn rhoek kah a bawknah loh n'hloo sak boel saeh. Anih loh tuektuek a hmuh te a pumsa kah lungbuei neh a hoeihae la a hoemdawk puei.
Let no one who delights in false humility and angelic religion disqualify you. Such a person takes his stand on things he has not seen, being puffed up without reason by the mind of his flesh,
19 Lu te a tuuk moenih. Anih lamloh rhuhcong neh tharhui thanal neh pum tom te a duel. Te vaengah Pathen kah rhoengnah dongla cului uh tih rhoeng van.
while not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supported and knit together by its joints and tendons, grows with a growth that is from God.
20 Diklai kah a niing lamloh Khrih neh na duek uh atah balae tih Diklai ah aka cuep lalah la na hing uh.
If you have died with Christ to the elements of the world, why, as though you were living in the world, do you submit to regulations such as,
21 Taek boeh, ten boeh, ben boeh,
“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch”?
22 hlang kah olpaek neh thuituennah bangla a hnonah te a hmawnnah ham ni boeih a om te.
Such regulations are based on the commandments and doctrines of men, and apply to things that will all decay with use.
23 Te rhoek te poeklawt thothueng, tlayaenah neh pum phaepnah dongah olka hong neh cueihnah aka khueh la om uh. Pumsa kah huengaihnah tah pakhat khaw a phu om pawh.
Although these regulations have a semblance of wisdom in self-imposed piety, false humility, and severe treatment of the body, they are of no value in restraining fleshly indulgence.
