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;
Dewaza huje mmanye sendi namayemba humbombo yenyu, wabhoti mwemli hu Laodikia na hwabhonti bhasaga bhandolile amaso gane hubele.
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;
Ebhomba embombo amoyo gabho huje bhatetelwe abhahwishe pandwemo mlugano nabhe mtabhala zoti nuwinji ugwa lyoli uwenjele, aimanye esili eya Ngolobhe oyo uKristi.
3 in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
Afumilane noyo enjele vifisilwe.
4 And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.
Eyanga huje umtu wowonti agabhabhombela imbibhi hunogwa enzwabhopele.
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.
Hata sendinamwe pandwemo hubele, lakini endinamwe nupepo. Esogwelwe abhalole upanyihiho gwenyu gwizanidandi neulweteho lwenyu mwa Kristi.
6 As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Nashi samposheye uKristi Ogosi, jendaji mwidala lyakwe.
7 rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Mzengwe ashibile umwene, mzegwe numwene, mlwetebo nashi samwasundilwe, nakogwe husalifwo enyingi.
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.
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 dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;
Hwahuje ashilile umwene uwinza uwa Ngolobhe ghwope ahali mhati yebele.
10 and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,
Namwe mmemile ashilile umwene. Umwene litwe wihone ashile agosi bhontii.
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;
Ashilile umwene mwatuliwe hutobala, sagaiwobwa na bhantu awepe mbele gwenyama ashilile tohala ya Kristi.
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.
Mwaselelwe pandwemo hudala lya hozewe hwidala lyeteho ashilile Ongolobhe wazwoshele afume hwabhafwe.
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;
Napafwiye ashilile embibhi zyenyu nasitetailiwe humabele genyu abhabheshele bhomi pandwemo natisajile embibhi zyetu zyoti.
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;
Atefwizye msebho ezya madeni zyahandihwe shenje nate ahefwizye goti nabhomele pa lukhobhehanyo.
15 having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.
Ahefwizye idandi lyoti ilya gosi abheshele apazelu mgabheshe sikulukulu yeushindi hwidala likhobhehanyo lyakwe.
16 Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,
Hwahuje umtu wowonti asibhalonje amwe kwaajili yeshalye au amwele, ebhe shelehe au umwezi upya au isiku lya tuye.
17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
Ega gati mazwogoni gembombo yeweza hwahuje goti ego Kilisti.
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,
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 fast the head, from whom all the body, ministered to and united together by the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.
Umwene sagakhatizya itwee. Hufume mwitwe nubele gwakwe namafupa akhatane nakhatanizye pandwemo akule na kulilo mwa Ngolobhe.
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?
Nkashile mwafwiye pandwemo nu Kilisti humadala gensi, mmbona mkhala nashi abhe nsii:
21 Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,
“Mganje khaate wala antome wala msahapalamazye”?
22 (things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]: ) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,
Goti ega galapiziwe huje uhwihwi uhweza na matumizi na maelekezo ne manyizyo izya bhantu.
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.
Indajizyo ezi nenjele nedini zyezilenganyiziwe ahwiyishe na mayemba agebele. Lakini goti usuugwo ezibele.
