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;
yuṣmākaṁ lāyadikēyāsthabhrātr̥ṇāñca kr̥tē yāvantō bhrātaraśca mama śārīrikamukhaṁ na dr̥ṣṭavantastēṣāṁ kr̥tē mama kiyān yatnō bhavati tad yuṣmān jñāpayitum icchāmi|
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;
phalataḥ pūrṇabuddhirūpadhanabhōgāya prēmnā saṁyuktānāṁ tēṣāṁ manāṁsi yat piturīśvarasya khrīṣṭasya ca nigūḍhavākyasya jñānārthaṁ sāntvanāṁ prāpnuyurityarthamahaṁ yatē|
3 in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
yatō vidyājñānayōḥ sarvvē nidhayaḥ khrīṣṭē guptāḥ santi|
4 And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.
kō'pi yuṣmān vinayavākyēna yanna vañcayēt tadartham ētāni mayā kathyantē|
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.
yuṣmatsannidhau mama śarīrē'varttamānē'pi mamātmā varttatē tēna yuṣmākaṁ surītiṁ khrīṣṭaviśvāsē sthiratvañca dr̥ṣṭvāham ānandāmi|
6 As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
atō yūyaṁ prabhuṁ yīśukhrīṣṭaṁ yādr̥g gr̥hītavantastādr̥k tam anucarata|
7 rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
tasmin baddhamūlāḥ sthāpitāśca bhavata yā ca śikṣā yuṣmābhi rlabdhā tadanusārād viśvāsē susthirāḥ santastēnaiva nityaṁ dhanyavādaṁ kuruta|
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.
sāvadhānā bhavata mānuṣikaśikṣāta ihalōkasya varṇamālātaścōtpannā khrīṣṭasya vipakṣā yā darśanavidyā mithyāpratāraṇā ca tayā kō'pi yuṣmākaṁ kṣatiṁ na janayatu|
9 For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;
yata īśvarasya kr̥tsnā pūrṇatā mūrttimatī khrīṣṭē vasati|
10 and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,
yūyañca tēna pūrṇā bhavatha yataḥ sa sarvvēṣāṁ rājatvakarttr̥tvapadānāṁ mūrddhāsti,
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;
tēna ca yūyam ahastakr̥tatvakchēdēnārthatō yēna śārīrapāpānāṁ vigrasatyajyatē tēna khrīṣṭasya tvakchēdēna chinnatvacō jātā
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.
majjanē ca tēna sārddhaṁ śmaśānaṁ prāptāḥ puna rmr̥tānāṁ madhyāt tasyōtthāpayiturīśvarasya śaktēḥ phalaṁ yō viśvāsastadvārā tasminnēva majjanē tēna sārddham utthāpitā abhavata|
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;
sa ca yuṣmān aparādhaiḥ śārīrikātvakchēdēna ca mr̥tān dr̥ṣṭvā tēna sārddhaṁ jīvitavān yuṣmākaṁ sarvvān aparādhān kṣamitavān,
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;
yacca daṇḍājñārūpaṁ r̥ṇapatram asmākaṁ viruddham āsīt tat pramārjjitavān śalākābhiḥ kruśē baddhvā dūrīkr̥tavāṁśca|
15 having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.
kiñca tēna rājatvakarttr̥tvapadāni nistējāṁsi kr̥tvā parājitān ripūniva pragalbhatayā sarvvēṣāṁ dr̥ṣṭigōcarē hrēpitavān|
16 Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,
atō hētōḥ khādyākhādyē pēyāpēyē utsavaḥ pratipad viśrāmavāraścaitēṣu sarvvēṣu yuṣmākaṁ nyāyādhipatirūpaṁ kamapi mā gr̥hlīta|
17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
yata ētāni chāyāsvarūpāṇi kintu satyā mūrttiḥ khrīṣṭaḥ|
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,
aparañca namratā svargadūtānāṁ sēvā caitādr̥śam iṣṭakarmmācaran yaḥ kaścit parōkṣaviṣayān praviśati svakīyaśārīrikabhāvēna ca mudhā garvvitaḥ san
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.
sandhibhiḥ śirābhiścōpakr̥taṁ saṁyuktañca kr̥tsnaṁ śarīraṁ yasmāt mūrddhata īśvarīyavr̥ddhiṁ prāpnōti taṁ mūrddhānaṁ na dhārayati tēna mānavēna yuṣmattaḥ phalāpaharaṇaṁ nānujānīta|
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?
yadi yūyaṁ khrīṣṭēna sārddhaṁ saṁsārasya varṇamālāyai mr̥tā abhavata tarhi yai rdravyai rbhōgēna kṣayaṁ gantavyaṁ
21 Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,
tāni mā spr̥śa mā bhuṁkṣva mā gr̥hāṇēti mānavairādiṣṭān śikṣitāṁśca vidhīn
22 (things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]: ) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,
ācarantō yūyaṁ kutaḥ saṁsārē jīvanta iva bhavatha?
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.
tē vidhayaḥ svēcchābhaktyā namratayā śarīraklēśanēna ca jñānavidhivat prakāśantē tathāpi tē'gaṇyāḥ śārīrikabhāvavarddhakāśca santi|
