Colossians 2
1 For I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me face to face,
Nokuti ndinoda kuti muzive kuti kurwa kukuru zvakadini kwandinako pamusoro penyu, nevari paRaodhikia, nevese vasina kuona chiso changu panyama,
2 that they may be encouraged in heart, knit together in love, and filled with the full riches of complete understanding, so that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ,
kuti moyo yavo inyaradzwe, vasonanidzwe murudo, nemufuma yese yekuvimbiswa kwakakwana kwekunzwisisa, paruzivo rwechakavanzika chaMwari naBaba, nechaKristu,
3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
maari fuma yese yeuchenjeri neyeruzivo yakavigwa.
4 I say this so that no one will deceive you by smooth rhetoric.
Ndinoreva izvi, kuti kusava nemunhu anokunyengerai nemashoko anonyengera.
5 For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.
Nokuti kunyange ndisipo panyama, zvakadaro ndinemwi pamweya, ndichifara nekuvona kurongeka kwenyu, nekusimba kwerutendo rwenyu muna Kristu.
6 Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him,
Naizvozvo sezvamakagamuchira Kristu Jesu Ishe, fambai maari,
7 rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
makadzika midzi nekuvakwa maari, nekusimbiswa murutendo, sezvamakadzidziswa, muchiwedzera makuri nekuvonga.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.
Chenjerai, zvimwe umwe munhu angakupambai neuchenjeri, nekunyengera kusina maturo, setsika dzevanhu, sedzidziso dzekuvamba dzenyika, uye kwete sekuna Kristu.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form.
Nokuti kuzara kwese kweuMwari kunogara maari pamuviri.
10 And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
Uye makazadziswa maari, iye musoro weutungamiriri hwese nesimba;
11 In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands.
wamakadzingiswawo maari nedzingiso isina kuitwa nemaoko, pakubvisa muviri wezvivi zvenyama, pakudzingisa kwaKristu;
12 And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.
makavigwa pamwe naye pabhabhatidzo, pamakamutswawo pamwe naye nerutendo rwekuita kwaMwari, wakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa.
13 When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses,
Nemwi makafa mukudarika nekusadzingiswa kwenyama yenyu, wakakuitai vapenyu pamwe naye, akukanganwirai kudarika kwese,
14 having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross!
akadzima rugwaro rwezviga rwaipikisana nesu, rwaipesana nesu, akarubvisa pakati, aruroverera pamuchinjikwa;
15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
akurura vatungamiriri nemasimba, akavabudisa pachena, akatungamira kuvakunda mauri.
16 Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath.
Naizvozvo kusava nemunhu anokutongai pakudya kana pachinwiwa, kana panhau yemutambo kana yekugara kwemwedzi kana yemasabata;
17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.
zvinova mumvuri wezvinhu zvichauya, asi muviri ndewa Kristu.
18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.
Kusava nemunhu anokutorerai mubairo wenyu nemano, achifarira kuzvininipisa nekunamata vatumwa, achipindira pazvinhu zvaasina kuona, achizvikudza pasina nefungwa dzake dzenyama,
19 He has lost connection to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God causes it to grow.
uye asingabatisisi Musoro, uyo maari muviri wese nezvisungo nemarunda unoriritirwa, nekurukirwa pamwe, uchikura nekukura kwaMwari.
20 If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:
Naizvozvo kana makafa pamwe naKristu kune dzidziso dzekuvamba dzenyika, munosungikanirei nemirairo semugere munyika,
21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”?
(usabata, usaravira, usagunzva,
22 These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
izvo zvese zvichaparara nekushandiswa) semirairo nedzidziso dzevanhu?
23 Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Zvine chimiro cheuchenjeri pakuzvidira kunamata, nekuzvininipisa, nekutambudza muviri; hazvitongobatsiri kukunda kugutsa nyama.
