Colossians 2
1 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;
Nfira muvimani ntambu yantenda lihengu kwa ugangamala toziya ya mwenga, na kwa toziya ya wantu wa Laudikiya na kwa toziya ya woseri haweniliwoni naneni
2 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 Christ,
Ntenda hangu su watulwi moyu na waweri umu mumafiliru, su wamemiziwi kuvimana unakaka, wapati kuvimana bada ya Mlungu, bada ayi ndo Kristu mweni.
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
Mngati mwa Kristu zilififa hanja zoseri zya luhala na mahala.
4 Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
Nuwagambirani hangu su namjimira kupayirwa na muntu yoseri kwa visoweru vya mpayu handa viwoneka vya kukwegiziya nentu.
5 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 Christ.
Tembera neni nakutali na mwenga, kumbiti moyu gwangu gwa pamuhera na mwenga na nankunemelera kuwawona mwenga yamugangamala munjimiru yenu mu Kristu.
6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Vinu handa ntambu yamumjimiriti Kristu Yesu yakawera Mtuwa, mwendereyi kulikala kwa kulikolerana pamuhera nayomberi.
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
Muweri na mishigira mngati mwa Kristu, na mulinyawi pampindi pakuwi na kuwera wagangamala munjimiru ntambu yamfunditwi. Namwenga mlongi mayagashii.
8 Be careful that you do not 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 Christ.
Mloli muntu nakawatenda wamanda na mafundu gakuwi hera ga upyota, wagatumbira mayangiru gakuwi ga vitiba vya wantu, ga Kristu ndiri kumbiti ga washamshera wakolamlima, kuliku galii galawa kwa Kristu.
9 For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
Toziya mngati mwakuwi Kristu, muuntu wakuwi, ulumngu woseri ulikala kwa kukamilika,
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
mwenga wawapanana ukomu woseri mukulikolerana pamuhera nayomberi. Yomberi kakumpindi kwa washamshera woseri yawakolamlima na wakulu woseri.
11 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 Christ,
Mukulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu mwenga mwingiziwitwi jandu, kwa kuivula nshimba ya vidoda. Mtenditi hangu kwa jandu ndiri yaitendwa na wantu, kumbiti yaitendwa na Kristu mweni kulawa muuntu wa vidoda.
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
Toziya pambatizwiti, msilitwi pamuhera na Kristu, na muubatizu mwenga viraa mzyukusiwitwi pamuhera nayomberi kupitira njimiru mumakakala ga Mlungu, kamzyusiyiti Kristu kulawa kwa yawahowiti.
13 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,
Namwenga mhowiti kwa ajili ya vidoda vyenu, toziya mweriti mmumana ndiri Mlungu. Kumbiti vinu Mlungu kawapanana mwenga ukomu pamuhera na Kristu. Mlungu katulekiziya vidoda vyetu vyoseri,
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
pakamaliriti kuwusiya vilii vya kutulunda twenga na malagaliru ga kututatira, kaviwusiya nakamu kwa kuvikong'ondelera palupingika.
15 Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Mulipingika alu Kristu kawapokiti makakala gawu washamshera walii wakolamlima na wakulu, kawasoniziyiti palongolu pa wantu kuwakwega gambira walopolwa mumwanja gwa ukanga wakuwi.
16 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,
Vinu namumleka muntu yoseri kawatuliri malagaliru toziya viboga ama vyakulanda ama mashaka ga msambu ama msambu gwa mwezi gwa syayi ama lishaka lya Kwoyera.
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
Vitwatila avi ndo shiviyiru hera sha galii gagiza, unakaka weni ndo Kristu.
18 Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Namjimila kulundwa na muntu yoseri yakalitenda kuwera gwa mana toziya ya maonu ga gweka na yakahimiziya unanagala wa mpayu na kuwaguwira kwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi, Muntu handa ayu kalitumba hera kwa mahala gakuwi ga nshimba.
19 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.
Kaleka kuwera pamuhera na Kristu, yakawera mtuwi gwa nshimba ayi. Kwa ulongoziya wa Kristu, nshimba yoseri ilikola na kuwera pamuhera na viungiru na mishipa yakuwi, naikula ntambu yakafiriti Mlungu.
20 If you died with Christ from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
Mwenga muhowa pamuhera na Kristu na kulopuziwa kulawa mumakakala mwa washamshera wakolamlima wa pasipanu. Vinu kwa shishi mulikala gambira wantu wa pasipanu? Kwa shishi mkola malagaliru gambira aga?
21 “Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”
“Namkola ashi,” “Namlawalira shilii,” “Namshinkula shilii!”
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
Vitwatila avi vyoseri vibogoyoka palii pavitumika, aga malagaliru na mafundu ga wantu hera.
23 These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body, but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Nakaka malagaliru aga gawonekana ga luhala mukuguwira kwawalitendiriti weni na muunanagala na kuyitendera nshimba kwa kukalipa, kumbiti gahera makakala ga kulewelera lumata lwa nshimba.
