Colossians 2
1 For I would have you know what combat I have for you, and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh;
Nkambo ndiyanda kuti muzibe bupati bwamapenzi ngindakajana aandinywe, nkambo kabaabo baliku Layodisiya, abaabo bakatakonzya kubona busyu bwangu munyama.
2 to the end that their hearts may be encouraged, being united together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to [the] full knowledge of the mystery of God;
Ndilabeleka kuchitila kuti myoyo yabo isungwazike akambo kakwetwa antomwe muluyando alubo amuliboonse buvubi buzwide kanzambwenene akumvwisisisya, nsiswa zya Leza, izili Kkilisito.
3 in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
Mulinguwe boonse buvubi bwabusongo aluzibo muzisisidwe.
4 And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.
Ndaamba echi kuchitila kuti takwepe anaba umwi ukonzya kumwena amakani akumuyunga.
5 For if indeed in the flesh I am absent, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
Nikuba nsili andinywe munyama, ndili andinywe mumuuya. Ndilabotelwa kubona kubamba obotu anguzu zyalusyomo lwenu muli Kkilisito.
6 As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Mbuli mbumwakatambula Kkilisito Mwami, amweenda mulinguwe.
7 rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Amukabyalwe muzyandamikwe mulinguwe, mukayakwe alinguwe, mukasimpikwe mulusyomo mbuli mbumwakayiisigwa, aakufwasuka mukulumba.
8 See that there be no one who shall lead you away as a prey through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the teaching of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
Amubone kuti kutabi naba omwe umuyunga kukwamba makani alweno ataawo, kaziyendelana atunsiya-nsiya twabantu, azwa kuzilenge zyaansi atazwi kuli Kkilisito.
9 For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;
Nkambo mulinguwe boonse buzwide bwa Leza mubuponi muchiimo chamubili.
10 and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,
Alimwi mulazuzigwa mulinguwe. Ngomutwe wanguzu zyonse abwendelezi.
11 in whom also ye have been circumcised with circumcision not done by hand, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ;
Mulinguwe mumwakapalulwa abupalulwe butachitwi abantu mukugwisya nyama yamubili, Pesi mubupalulwe bwa Kkilisito.
12 buried with him in baptism, in which ye have been also raised with [him] through faith of the working of God who raised him from among the dead.
Mwakazikwa anguwe mulubbabbatizyo, amulinguwe mwakabusigwa mukwindila mulusyomo lwanguzu zya Leza, oyo wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu.
13 And you, being dead in offences and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has quickened together with him, having forgiven us all the offences;
Nimwakafwide muzibi zyenu animwakatapalwidwe kunyama zyenu, wakamuchita kuti mupone antomwe anguwe akutulekelela zibi zyesu.
14 having effaced the handwriting in ordinances which [stood out] against us, which was contrary to us, he has taken it also out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;
Wakazima makani abubi ayiminina andiswe amalayilile awo. Wakachigwisya akuchigankamina achingaano.
15 having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.
Wakasamununa bendelezi abasibwami akubachitya kufwa bweme, akubazunda bo achingano.
16 Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,
Akambo kaboobo, kutabi naba umwi umubeteka mukulya nimuba mukunywa, nikuba kumazuba amapobwe nanka amweezi mupya, nikuba kumazuba a Sabata.
17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
Eezi mwenzule wazintu zichiza, pesi mubili mwini ngu Kkilisito.
18 Let no one fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humility and worship of angels, entering into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,
Kutabi naba umwi uyanda kulifwinsya akukomba baangelo umubeteka kuzwa kumpindu yenu. Oyo muntu uliboobu ulanjila muzintu nzyakabona akuba mbwapekezya katakwe anchachitila mumiyeyo yanyama zyakwe.
19 and not holding fast the head, from whom all the body, ministered to and united together by the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.
Tajisilidi kumutwe, nkuuzwa kumutwe mubili woonse nkujisilidi mungo amilambi yoonse nkwijisini amwi; ilakomena akukomena kupegwa a Leza.
20 If ye have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why as [if] alive in [the] world do ye subject yourselves to ordinances?
Kuti na mwakafwa aamwi a Kkilisito kuzilenge zyanyika, nkamboonzi muchipona kamuchibanga mulibe nyika:
21 Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,
“Utagumi, nanka utalabili, nanka kujata”?
22 (things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]: ) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,
Zintu zyoonse ezi ziyoloba akubelesegwa, kazilangene kumalayilile anjiisyo zyabantu.
23 (which have indeed an appearance of wisdom in voluntary worship, and humility, and harsh treatment of the body, not in a certain honour, ) to [the] satisfaction of the flesh.
Eeyi milayizyo ilayubununa busongo, akulibombya beni akulibombya kweeta kusilikwa kwamibili yabo. Pesi tazijisi milimu yakutukasya kuzumina zichito zibi mumyoyo yesu.
