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;
A I men, komail en asa iran ai pei laud pweki komail, o men Laodisäa, o irail karos, me sota kilang mas ai ni uduk o.
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,
Pwe mongiong arail en kamaitala o irail en warok pena ni limpok o irail en kakairida ni ar dedeki melel duen me rir en Kot.
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
Pwe pai en erpit o dedeki, me okiok re a.
4 Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
I me i inda mepukat, pwe aramas amen ede kotau ki komail lokaia widing kan.
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.
A ni pali uduk o ngai me doo, a ni pali ngen i ngai mi re omail, i perenki o kilang omail sondi mau, o omail poson kelail Kristus.
6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
A duen omail wuki ong Kristus Iesus Kaun o, iduen komail en weweideki i,
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
O podidi ong i, o kakau kida i, o komail kelail ni poson, duen me komail padak kidar, o nantiong danke.
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.
Kalaka pwe amen ede sali kin komail padak mal o padok en kaua duen tiak en aramas akan en sappa, a kaidin tiak en Kristus.
9 For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
Pwe aude pan me udan Kot karos kotikot re a, nan pein war a.
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
O komail me unsok kilar i, me tapwin wei karos o manaman karos.
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,
Me komail pil sirkomsaiseki ong sirkomsais eu, me so mangin pa, a duen pwilikidi war en uduk ni sirkomsais eu, me ren Kristus.
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.
Ni atail iang i serkidi paptais, o me komail pil maur kida poson manaman en Kot, me kaiasada i sang ren me melar akan.
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,
O ni ansaun omail mela ni dip o sosirkomsais en uduk omail, a kotin kamaur komail da iangaki i, ni a kotin maki ong kitail sapung kan karos.
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
O a kotin iros wei sang inting o, me kapokon ong kitail, me audekier kusoned akan, ap palian kitail, i me a kotin kawelar ni a pasuredi ong i nin lopu.
15 Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
A lau kaloedier wei kan o manaman akan, ap kasansanle irail ada o wia kin ir kilel en kaperen eu.
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,
Sota amen en kadeik komail da pweki kisin manga, de pil nim, de ran a akai, de maram pul, de sapat akan.
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
Pwe mepukat mot en me pan pwarado, a war o iei Kristus.
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,
Sota me pan kataue sang komail kating pamail; pwe iei i me kin wiawia pein insen a ni a karakarak o pongi ong tounlang kan, me a sota kilanger o me aklapalap o perenki pein i ni tiak en uduk a.
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.
O a sota kin keleki tapwi, me war pon ale sang kisin manga ki kokon akan, iduen a pan kakairida ni kupur en Kot.
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,
A ma komail iang Kristus melar sang tiak en sappa, menda komail pil lodi ong tiak kan likamata komail memaureta nin sappa.
21 “Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”
Re kin inda: Koe der doke, koe der song, koe der sair!
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
A mepukat karos pan okila kadokepa; ari kisin kusoned mal akan, me aramas akan ta wiadar.
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.
Me sansal en lolekong ni ar wiada pein ar kaudok o karakarak o ar kaloke pali war arail; a mepukat kin kapwaiada pali uduk eta.
