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 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 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;
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 Messiah,
3 Christ sung ah ciimna le heakna i neisa te theampo sia ki phualseal hi.
in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4 Kuama in theamna kammal te taw hong kaizot thei ngawl natu in hi thu kong son hi.
Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of 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 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 Messiah.
6 Tua ahikom note Topa Christ Jesus sang zo na hi uh bangma in, Ama sung ah nungta vun:
As therefore you received Messiah Yeshua 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 established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in 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.
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 Messiah.
9 Banghang ziam cile Christ sung ah Pathian hina kicing sia pumpi taw in om hi.
For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
10 Taciang note Christ sung ah na kicing uh a, Ama sia thuneina le vangletna theampo i lutang a hihi.
and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
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 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 Messiah,
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.
having been buried with him in immersion, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from 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;
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 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.
wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing 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 stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in 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 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 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 the things to come; but the body is Messiah’s.
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 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 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 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 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 you died with Messiah from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21 (Tham heak vun; tep heak vun; len heak vun;
“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
22 Ta te theampo sia mangthang siat tu hi; ) mihing te i thupiak te le updan te banghang in ni nu ziam?
(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines 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.
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.
