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,
Mo fẹ́ kí ẹ mọ bí mo ti ń jìjàkadì fún un yín àti fún àwọn ará Laodikea àti fún ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn mìíràn tí wọn kò ì tí ì rí mi sójú rí.
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,
Ohun tí mo ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run fún un yín nínú àdúrà mi ni pé, kí a lè mú yín lọ́kàn le, kí a sì lè so yín pọ̀ pẹ̀lú ìfẹ́ to lágbára, kí ẹ le ní àṣírí ìjìnlẹ̀ Ọlọ́run lẹ́kùnrẹ́rẹ́. Àṣírí ìjìnlẹ̀ Ọlọ́run náà ni Kristi fúnra rẹ̀.
3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Nínú ẹni tí a fi gbogbo ìṣúra ìjìnlẹ̀ ọgbọ́n àti ìmọ̀ pamọ́ sí.
4 I say this so that no one will deceive you by smooth rhetoric.
Mo sọ èyí fún un yín kí ẹnikẹ́ni ma ba à fi ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀tàn mú yín ṣìnà.
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.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé èmi kò sí i lọ́dọ̀ yín nínú ara, ṣùgbọ́n mo wà lọ́dọ̀ yín nínú ẹ̀mí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo sì ń yọ̀ láti kíyèsi ètò yín àti bí ìdúró ṣinṣin yín nínú Kristi ti rí.
6 Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him,
Nítorí náà, bí ẹ̀yin ti gba Jesu Kristi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin máa gbé nínú rẹ̀.
7 rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Ẹ fi gbòǹgbò múlẹ̀, kí a sì gbé yín ró nínú rẹ̀, kí ẹ sì fi ẹsẹ̀ múlẹ̀ nínú ìgbàgbọ́ yín, bí a ti kọ́ yín, àti kí ẹ sì máa pọ̀ nínú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọpẹ́.
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.
Ẹ rí dájú pé ẹnikẹ́ni kò mú yin ní ìgbèkùn pẹ̀lú ẹ̀kọ́ àròsọ àti ìmọ̀ ẹ̀tàn, èyí tí ó gbára lé ìlànà ti ènìyàn àti àgbékalẹ̀ àwọn ẹ̀mí ayé yìí tí ó yàtọ̀ sí ti Kristi.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form.
Nítorí nínú Kristi ni ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ìwàláàyè Ọlọ́run gbé ní ara,
10 And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
ẹ̀yin sì ní ohun gbogbo ní kíkún nínú Kristi, ẹni tí i ṣe orí fún gbogbo agbára àti àṣẹ.
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.
Nínú ẹni tí a kò fi ìkọlà tí a fi ọwọ́ kọ kọ yín ní ilà, ni bíbọ ara ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀, nínú ìkọlà Kristi.
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.
Bí a ti sin yín pọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú ìtẹ̀bọmi, tí a sì ti jí yín dìde pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nípasẹ̀ ìgbàgbọ́ yín nínú agbára Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ó jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú.
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,
Àti ẹ̀yin, ẹni tí ó ti kú nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín àti àìkọlà ará yín, mo ní, ẹ̀yin ni ó sì ti sọ di ààyè pọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó sì ti dárí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín jì yín;
14 having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross!
Ó sì ti pa ìwé májẹ̀mú nì rẹ́, tí ó lòdì sí wa, tí a kọ nínú òfin, èyí tí o lòdì sí wa: òun ni ó sì ti mú kúrò lójú ọ̀nà, ó sì kàn án mọ àgbélébùú.
15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Ó sì ti gba agbára kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ìjọba ẹ̀mí búburú àti àwọn alágbára gbogbo, ó sì ti dójútì wọn ní gbangba, bí ó ti ń yọ̀ fún ìṣẹ́gun lórí wọn.
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.
Nítorí náà ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni ṣe ìdájọ́ yín ní ti jíjẹ, tàbí ní ti mímu, tàbí ní ti ọjọ́ àsè, tàbí oṣù tuntun, àti ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.
Àwọn tí í ṣe òjìji ohun tí ń bọ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ní ti òtítọ́, nínú Kristi ni àti mu wọn ṣẹ.
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.
Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní inú dídùn nínú ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ èké àti bíbọ àwọn angẹli lọ́ èrè yín gbà lọ́wọ́ yín, ẹni tí ń dúró lórí nǹkan wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ó ti rí, tí ó ń ṣe féfé asán nípa èrò ti ọkàn ara rẹ̀.
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.
Wọn ti sọ ìdàpọ̀ wọn pẹ̀lú ẹni tí i ṣe orí nu, láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí a ń ti ipa oríkèé àti iṣan pèsè fún gbogbo ara, ti a sì ń so ó ṣọ̀kan pọ̀, tí ó sì ń dàgbà nípa ìmísí Ọlọ́run.
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:
Bí ẹ̀yin bá ti kú pẹ̀lú Kristi si àwọn agbára ìlànà ayé yìí, kín ló dé tí ẹ̀yin ń tẹríba fún òfin bí ẹni pé ẹ̀yin wà nínú ayé.
21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”?
Má ṣe dìímú, má ṣe tọ́ ọ wò, má ṣe fi ọwọ́ bà á.
22 These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
Gbogbo èyí tí yóò ti ipa lílo run, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin àti ẹ̀kọ́ ènìyàn?
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.
Àwọn nǹkan tí ó ní àfarawé ọgbọ́n nítòótọ́, nípasẹ̀ àdábọwọ́ ìsìn, àti ìrẹ̀lẹ̀, àti ìpọ́nra-ẹni-lójú, ṣùgbọ́n tí kò ni èrè láti di ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ara ku.
