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;
Dewaza huje mmanye sendi namayemba humbombo yenyu, wabhoti mwemli hu Laodikia na hwabhonti bhasaga bhandolile amaso gane hubele.
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,
Ebhomba embombo amoyo gabho huje bhatetelwe abhahwishe pandwemo mlugano nabhe mtabhala zoti nuwinji ugwa lyoli uwenjele, aimanye esili eya Ngolobhe oyo uKristi.
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
Afumilane noyo enjele vifisilwe.
4 Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
Eyanga huje umtu wowonti agabhabhombela imbibhi hunogwa enzwabhopele.
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.
Hata sendinamwe pandwemo hubele, lakini endinamwe nupepo. Esogwelwe abhalole upanyihiho gwenyu gwizanidandi neulweteho lwenyu mwa Kristi.
6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Nashi samposheye uKristi Ogosi, jendaji mwidala lyakwe.
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
Mzengwe ashibile umwene, mzegwe numwene, mlwetebo nashi samwasundilwe, nakogwe husalifwo enyingi.
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.
Mwenyaje umutu wowoti asibhateje hunjele enogwa zyezili wene mganje hopelwe na lengane namaposhelo gabhantu, alengane na mambo gapansi nasagagalengana nu Kristi.
9 For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
Hwahuje ashilile umwene uwinza uwa Ngolobhe ghwope ahali mhati yebele.
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
Namwe mmemile ashilile umwene. Umwene litwe wihone ashile agosi bhontii.
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,
Ashilile umwene mwatuliwe hutobala, sagaiwobwa na bhantu awepe mbele gwenyama ashilile tohala ya Kristi.
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.
Mwaselelwe pandwemo hudala lya hozewe hwidala lyeteho ashilile Ongolobhe wazwoshele afume hwabhafwe.
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,
Napafwiye ashilile embibhi zyenyu nasitetailiwe humabele genyu abhabheshele bhomi pandwemo natisajile embibhi zyetu zyoti.
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
Atefwizye msebho ezya madeni zyahandihwe shenje nate ahefwizye goti nabhomele pa lukhobhehanyo.
15 Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Ahefwizye idandi lyoti ilya gosi abheshele apazelu mgabheshe sikulukulu yeushindi hwidala likhobhehanyo lyakwe.
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,
Hwahuje umtu wowonti asibhalonje amwe kwaajili yeshalye au amwele, ebhe shelehe au umwezi upya au isiku lya tuye.
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
Ega gati mazwogoni gembombo yeweza hwahuje goti ego Kilisti.
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,
Umuntu wowonti asifyulwe enjega yakwe agajezilishe ayishe au hala uzelu umutu nashioyo awenya embombo yailolile abhopelwe ne sebho zyakwe ezya mbele.
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.
Umwene sagakhatizya itwee. Hufume mwitwe nubele gwakwe namafupa akhatane nakhatanizye pandwemo akule na kulilo mwa Ngolobhe.
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,
Nkashile mwafwiye pandwemo nu Kilisti humadala gensi, mmbona mkhala nashi abhe nsii:
21 “Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”
“Mganje khaate wala antome wala msahapalamazye”?
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
Goti ega galapiziwe huje uhwihwi uhweza na matumizi na maelekezo ne manyizyo izya bhantu.
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.
Indajizyo ezi nenjele nedini zyezilenganyiziwe ahwiyishe na mayemba agebele. Lakini goti usuugwo ezibele.
