Colossae 2

1 Banghangziam cile note le Laodicea a om te ahizong, maitang kisi in hong mu ngei ngawl lai te atu in deisakna lianpi ka nei na thu na heak tu uh ka dei hi;

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 Tabang in amate thinsung sia henepna nga tu a, itna khau taw ki hen khawm in, Pa Pathian le Christ thuthuk heak thei na tungtawn in a dim thinmuan na le hauna theampo nei tu uh hi;

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 Christ sung ah ciimna le heakna i neisa te theampo sia ki phualseal hi.

in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

4 Kuama in theamna kammal te taw hong kaizot thei ngawl natu in hi thu kong son hi.

And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.

5 Banghangziam cile ka pumpi taw note kung ah ka om ngawl hang, thaa taw note kung ah hong om khi hi, Christ sung ah na upna uh a kip zia le na nuntak zia uh a hoi te en in ka lungdam hi.

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 Tua ahikom note Topa Christ Jesus sang zo na hi uh bangma in, Ama sung ah nungta vun:

As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,

7 Ama sung ah zungtha in, na nuntakna uh inn bang in sa tavun, upna sung ah kho vun, hong ki hil sa bang in, tua thu sung ah lungdam ko na taw na kidim tavun.

rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

8 Khatpo in leitung ciimna le a mannung ngawl theamna te taw hong siatsua thei ngawl natu in kidawm vun, tua thu in mihing te i pulepa ngeina le leitung piancil pan ngeina hi a, Christ i ngeina bang hi ngawl hi.

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 Banghang ziam cile Christ sung ah Pathian hina kicing sia pumpi taw in om hi.

For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;

10 Taciang note Christ sung ah na kicing uh a, Ama sia thuneina le vangletna theampo i lutang a hihi.

and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,

11 Note sia Christ sung ah khut taw hi ngawl vunteap tan te na hi uh a, Christ vunteap tan na tungtawn in pumpi sung ah cilesa khialna te na nusia siat zo uh hi:

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 Tuiphumna sung ah Ama taw a ki vui te na hi uh hi, taciang note mithi te kung pan Ama a thokiksak Pathian nasep na upna uh tungtawn in Ama taw na thokik zo uh hi.

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 Taciang na mawna te uh le na cilesa vunteap tan ngawl na sung ah na thi uh laitak in, Ama taw hong nungtasak a, note i khialna theampo hong maisak hi;

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 Eite langpang in khut taw a ki at biakna zeksa te sia eite taw ki lebul hi, taciang tua thu hong phiatsak a eite sung pan hong laksak in, Ama thinglamte tung ah kilcip hi.

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 Taciang thuneina te le vangletna te bosak hi, taciang a kilangtak in hong lak a, tua te i tung ah thinglamte tungtawn in zo thal hi.

having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.

16 Tua ahikom neak le dawn huvau ahizong, ni le tha le sabbath ni thu huvau ahizong, kuama in note thu hong khen heak tahen:

Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,

17 Tua bang te sia hong theng pheang tu thu te i lim a hihi; ahihang a pumpi sia Christ a hihi.

which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.

18 A ki niamkhiak theam te le vantungmi te a bia te, a mu ngawl uh nate sung ah tum uh a, a mannung ngawl cilesa thinsung taw a ki phasak peuma in na thaman uh hong theam heak tahen,

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 Ama in lutang muang ngawl hi, tua lutang pan in ngu le tang te le thangui te tungtawn in pumpi buppi vaak hi, taciang khau bang in ki pheak khawm siat a, Pathian in khangtosak hi.

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 Tua ahikom note leitung i bulpi thu te pan kipan in Christ taw na thi zo uh ahile, leitung ah a nungta bang in biakna ngeina thu te,

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 (Tham heak vun; tep heak vun; len heak vun;

Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,

22 Ta te theampo sia mangthang siat tu hi; ) mihing te i thupiak te le updan te banghang in ni nu ziam?

(things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]: ) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,

23 Tabang ngeina te sia cilesa lungkimna hi ngawl a, amate deina bang in biakna le ki niamkhiatna, taciang ama pumpi thusimngawl na taw pilna a ki langsak hi bek hi.

(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.
