Colossians 2
1 I want you to know how great is my concern for you and those in Laodicea, even all who have not met me personally,
Ngunapinga mmumanyanje, shinguti lajilila kutenda liengo kwa ligongo lyenunji, na kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bha ku Laodikia na kwa ligongo lya bhowe bhakanabhe monanga mmeyo bhala.
2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being united in love and into a great wealth of confident understanding, into a real knowledge of the mystery of the God and Father and of the Christ,
Ngunatenda nnei nkupinga bhatagwanje ntima na bhalundananje nkupingana, bhaumanyanje utajili gowe gwa kuimanya ukoto indu ya kweli. Nkupinga bhaimanyanje kaje ya nng'iyo gwa a Nnungu, yani a Kilishitu bhayene.
3 in whom all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge are hidden.
Kwa bhenebho ishikwiiya ibhiko yowe ya lunda na lumanyio.
4 Now I say this so that no one may deceive you with specious arguments.
Bhai, ngunakummalanjilanga genega, nkupinga mundu jojowe ananntembanje kwa malobhe ga unami, nkali ganonye.
5 For although in fact I am physically absent, yet my spirit is with you, rejoicing as I observe your orderliness and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
Pabha, nkali nkamonanje kwa meyo, ikabheje kwa muntima puni na mmanganyanji, nguliangalala nkummonanga shinkuti tamangana ukoto, na kwiishimilika nngulupai jenunji nkulundana na a Kilishitu.
6 So then, keep on walking in the Christ, Jesus the Sovereign, just as you received Him,
Bhai, shimwaaposhelenje a Yeshu Kilishitu kubha Bhakulungwa bhenunji, bhai ntamangananje nneyo peyo nkulundana nabho.
7 having been rooted and being built up in Him and being established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Ntamangananje ukoto nkulundana na bhenebho na shengwa panani jabho, na kwiishimilika nngulupai malinga shinnjigenywenje, na mpundanje kutenda eja.
8 Be careful that no one captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ.
Bhai mwiiteiganje, mundu anantembanje kwa lumanyio lwakwe lwa unami, lwa poshela kubhandu na majiganyo ga pa shilambolyo, gali nngabha ga a Kilishitu!
9 Because all the Fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him in bodily form,
Pabha kukamilika kowe kwa a Nnungu, kwabhoneshe mwa a Kilishitu nshiilu shabho,
10 and you are complete in Him who is the head over all rule and authority.
na mmanganyanji nshipegwanga gumi gwa nng'ilimila nkulundana na bhenebho, bhali bhakulungwa bha mashili na ukulungwa gowe.
11 In Him you were also ‘circumcised’ by the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, not with a circumcision done by hands but with the circumcision of the Christ,
Nkulundana na a Kilishitu mmanganyanji nnjalwikenje, numbe nngabha kwa tagwa na bhandu, ikabheje na a Kilishitu bhayene, nkugombolwa kopoka kushiilu shangali mashili.
12 having been buried with Him in the baptism. In Him you were also raised together through your faith in the productive power of the God who raised Him from among the dead.
Pabha, nkabhatishwanjeje mwashinkushikwanga pamo na a Kilishitu, na yuywa pamo na bhenebho kwa kulupalila mashili ga a Nnungu, bhaayushiye a Kilishitu bhakaweje.
13 Yes you, though being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh—He has made you alive together with Him; having forgiven us all our trespasses;
Na mmanganyanji pumwalinginji nng'wilenje, kwa ligongo lya yambi yenunji na gwangajaluka gwenunji. Ikabheje nnaino a Nnungu bhashikumpanganga gumi pamo na a Kilishitu, nikutuleshelela yambi yetu yowe,
14 having wiped out the written record about us that was against us (based on the ordinances), indeed He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;
gubhaputile malobhe gajandikwe ga kutulugula, na ukumu jakwe nikujishoya jinapagwe kabhili, kwa kujikomela munshalabha.
15 having stripped the principalities and the authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, having triumphed over them by it [the cross].
Gubhaapokonyolenje ukulungwa na mashili gabhonji bhakulungwanji na bhakwetenje mashili ga kumaoka, nikwatokomayanga palugwinjili akuno bhaliangalala pa lugwinjili lwa bhandu pa nshalabha gwa a Yeshu.
16 So do not let anyone judge you about food or drink, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or Sabbaths,
Kwa nneyo, bhai, mundu ananng'ukumulanje kwa ligongo lya shalya, eu ya papila, eu kwa ligongo lya shikukuu, eu ga mwei gwa ambi, eu ga lyubha lya pumulila.
17 which things are but a shadow of those to come, while the body is Christ's.
Pabha yeneyo ni ilanda ya indu ikwiya, ikabhe shindu ukoto, ni a Kilishitu.
18 Nor let anyone disqualify you, taking pleasure in a subservience and devotion to the angels, ‘taking possession’ of things that he has not seen, being puffed up by his carnal mind to no useful purpose,
Mundu jojowe ananng'ukumulanje, alikwiitemba kwiitimalika akuno ali kwaatindibhalila ashimalaika. Mundu malinga jwenejo anakagulila agamii yakwe, alikwiitapa kwa lunda lwake lwa shigundu,
19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, supported and held together by its joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
jwene mundujo ashikwaaleka a Kilishitu bhali ntwe gwa shiilusho. Nkulongoywa na a Kilishitu, shiilu showe shinaliywa na lundanywa pamo kwa ibhalo na minanga jakwe, penepo shiilu shinakula, malinga shibhapinga a Nnungu.
20 Now then, since you died with Christ away from the basic principles of the world, why, as though still living in it, are you subjecting yourselves to regulations
Bhai, ibhaga mmanganyanji mwashinkuwanganga pamo na a Kilishitu na gombolwa mmashili ga bhaatagwala bha pa shilambolyo, bhai, kwa nndi tama kabhili mbuti bhandu bha pa shilambolyo, nnibhishilwanga ibhagu?
21 —Don't handle! Don't taste! Don't touch!—
“Eti nnakamulanje ashi, eu nnapayanje ashi, eu nnakwayanje ashi!”
22 (all of which result in corruption through overuse) according to the commands and teachings of men?
Gene gowego ni ga indu ya angabhanika, gali malajilo na majiganyo ga bhandunjipe.
23 Such things do indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and subservience and asceticism, but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Yeneyo puibhoneka mbuti ya lunda kwa namuna ja tindibhalila jimwiibhishilenje mwashaayenenji, nkwiitimalika na nkushipoteka shiilu na ilokoli yakwe, ikabheje ikapwaa shindu nkulekaya ilokoli ya shiilu.
