Jo-Kolosai 2
1 Adwaro mondo ungʼe kaka akedonu matek, kaachiel gi joma ni Laodikia gi ji mamoko duto mapok onena gi wangʼ-gi.
For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have in behalf of you, and those in Laodicea, and so many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 Gima adwaro en ni mondo gibed gi chuny motegno kendo giriwre e hera, eka ginibed gi mwandu mar ngʼeyo tiend weche mar adier. Ka gitimo kamano, to giningʼe ma lingʼ-lingʼ mar Nyasaye ma en Kristo,
in order that their hearts may be comforted, being knitted together in divine love, and in all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the perfect knowledge of the mystery of God, of Christ,
3 En ema mwandu duto mag rieko kod ngʼeyo Nyasaye opando kuome.
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Anyisou wechegi mondo kik ngʼato owuondu gi weche manono maywayo ji.
I say this in order that no one may deceive you with a persuasive speech.
5 Nikech kata obedo ni aonge kodu kuom ringruok, to an kodu kuom chuny, kendo amor mar neno kaka uchanoru maber kendo kaka yieu ochungʼ motegno kuom Kristo.
For if I am absent in the flesh, but I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the establishment of your faith toward Christ.
6 Mana kaka userwako Kristo Yesu ka Ruoth, dhiuru nyime ka udak kuome,
Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk about in him,
7 ka uguroru motegno kendo ugeroru kuome, kumedo bedo motegno e yie kaka nopuonju, kendo kupongʼ gigoyo erokamano.
having been rooted and grounded in him, and confirmed in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
8 Kik uyie mondo ngʼato angʼata omak pachu gi riekni manono mag piny gi wuond manono ma wito ji, ma gin rieko ma aa kuom puonj dhano gi timbe mag piny, to ok kuom Kristo.
See that no one shall be deceiving you through philosophy and empty delusion, according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ,
9 Nyasaye mangima gi kite duto odak ei Kristo, tiende ni e ringre Kristo,
because in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,
10 omiyo ka un ei Kristo to un gi gik moko duto, nikech en e jatelo moloyo jotelo duto, kendo en e teko moloyo teko gi loch duto.
and you are complete in him, who is the head of all government and authority:
11 Kristo ema nogolo kit dhano machon kuomu mana kaka tero nyangu golo kit dhano machon, ma nyangu motim gi lwet dhano, to nyangu motim gi Kristo.
in whom you are also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of depravity, in the circumcision of Christ;
12 Kane obatisu, to noyiku kode kendo nochieru kode nikech yie ma un-go kuom teko mar Nyasaye ma nochiere oa kuom joma otho.
having been buried with him in baptism, in which you are also raised by the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead:
13 Kane uyudo utho e richou gi kit ngimau ma ok ter nyangu, Nyasaye ne omiyo udoko mangima kuom Kristo. Noweyonwa richowa duto,
and you, being dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your depravity, has he created life in you along with himself, having forgiven us all transgressions,
14 Nyasaye noketho chike kod dwarone mane okwedowa kendo ne opogowa. Ne ogole oko mi ogure e msalaba.
having blotted out the handwriting which was against us in ordinances, which was antagonistical to us: and took it out from the midst, having nailed it to the cross;
15 Kendo kane oseketho teko gi loch duto, nomiyogi wichkuot e lela koloyogi gi teko mar msalaba.
having destroyed governments and authorities, he made a public exhibition of them triumphing over them on it.
16 Kuom mano, kik uwe ngʼato ongʼadnu bura kuom gik muchamo kata mumadho, kata kuom weche mag sewni mag lemo, kata sewni mitimo ka dwe manyien owuok, kata chiengʼ Sabato.
Therefore let no one judge you in meat, or in drink, or in the participation of a feast, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath:
17 Magi duto gin mana tipo mag gik mane onego obi, to adiera wuon yudore kuom Kristo.
which things are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Kik uwe ngʼato angʼata mamor kuom dembruok mar miriambo kod malamo malaike omi ubed maonge pok. Ngʼat makamano wacho mathoth konyiso ji kuom fweny moseneno, kendo pache mar dhano miyo otingʼore malo kowuoyo kuom gik mokia tiendgi.
Let no one purposely rob you of your prize by humiliation and worship of the angels, trusting in those things which he has seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his depravity,
19 Ngʼatno oseweyo tudruok gi wich ma en e kama ringruok duto otude kendo omoke ka omake gi fuonini kod leche kaachiel, kendo gidongo kaka Nyasaye dwaro ni gidongi.
and not holding the Head, from which the entire body, by joints and ligaments being supplied and knitted together, increases the increase of God.
20 Ka usetho gi Kristo mi ogonyou kuom timbe machon mag pinyni, to koro ere gima omiyo pod uwuotho ka jopiny? Angʼo momiyo pod umako chike mawacho niya,
If along with Christ you are dead from the elements of the world, why are you dogmatized as living in the world,
21 “Kik imak gini,” kata niya, “Kik ibil gini,” kata niya, “Kik imul gini”?
Touch not, taste not, handle not,
22 Giduto gin gik malal nono, nikech gin mana chike gi puonj mag dhano.
those things which are all unto destruction by use according to the commandments and teachings of the people?
23 Ginyalo nenore gioko ni rieko ni eigi ka gilemo gi lamo mar paro mar dhano, kendo kuom dembruok ma oko, kod sando ringruok, to chutho gionge ohala nikech ok ginyal konyo ngʼato gengʼo gombo mag ringruok.
Which indeed are having a word of wisdom in will worship, and humiliation, and austerity of the body; not in any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
