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 had for you, for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh.
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 work so that their hearts may be encouraged by being brought together in love and into all the riches of full assurance of understanding, into the knowledge of the secret truth of God, that is, Christ.
3 Amah khuiah cueihnah khohrhang neh mingnah olhuep cungkuem te om.
In him 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 may trick 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.
Although I am not with you in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit. I rejoice to see your good order and the strength of your faith in Christ.
6 Te dongah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih te na doe uh vanbangla amah dongah pongpa uh.
As you received Christ the Lord, 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.
Be rooted in him, be built on him, be established in faith just as you were taught, and abound in 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.
See that no one captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, conforming to the elements of the world, and not conforming to Christ.
9 Amah dongah Pathen coengnah pumrho kah a soepnah la boeih om.
For in him all the fullness of God lives in bodily form.
10 Te dongah amah dongah ni a soep la na om uh. Anih tah boeilu neh saithainah boeih kah a lu la om.
You have been filled in him, who is the head over every power 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 humans in the removal of the body of flesh, but 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.
You were buried with him in baptism, and in him you were raised up through faith in the power 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.
When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him and forgave us all of 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.
He canceled the written record of debts that stood against us with its regulations. 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 disarmed the powers and authorities and made a public spectacle of them, by being victorious over them by the cross.
16 Nangmih te khaw caak cak neh an ok dongah khaw, khotue vaengah khaw, hlasae neh Sabbath ah pakhat long khaw n'coel tangloeng boel saeh.
So then, let no one judge you in eating or in drinking, or about a feast day or a new moon, or about Sabbath days.
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 wants humility and the worship of angels judge you out of your prize. Such a person enters into the things he has seen and becomes puffed up by his fleshly thinking.
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.
He does not hold on to the head. It is from the head that the whole body throughout its joints and ligaments is supplied and held together; it grows with the growth given by 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 died together with Christ to the elements of the world, why do you live as obligated to the world:
21 Taek boeh, ten boeh, ben boeh,
“Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”?
22 hlang kah olpaek neh thuituennah bangla a hnonah te a hmawnnah ham ni boeih a om te.
All these things will perish with use, according to the instructions and teachings of men.
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.
These rules have the wisdom of self-made religion and humility and severity of the body. But they have no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
