Colossians 2
1 FOR I wish you to know how great a struggle I sustain for you, and those at Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Nga ke kowos in etu lupan kwafe luk keiwos ac ke mwet lulalfongi in acn Laodicea, ac oayapa kaclos nukewa su nga soenna sonolos.
2 that their hearts may be comforted, firmly united together in love, and unto all riches of full assurance of understanding, in the knowledge of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Nga oru ma inge in akkeye insialos, ac in akfototoyalos nu sin sie sin sie ke lungse, tuh elos fah ku in arulana lulalfongi ke sripen etauk lalos ke ma pwaye. In ouiya se inge elos fah etu ma lukma lun God ma tia eteyuk meet, su pa kacl Christ sifacna.
3 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
El na pa ku in ikasla kalmen etauk ac lalmwetmet nukewa lun God, su oana sie ma saok wikinyukla meet.
4 Now this I say, lest any man pervert you with specious discourse.
Ke ma inge nga fahk nu suwos, nikmet lela kutena mwet in kiapwekowosla ke kas in eyeinse lusrongten, finne wo srumunya selos.
5 For though I am absent from you in person, yet I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing and beholding your regular order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
Tuh nga finne wangin yuruwos, a nga wi kowos na in ngun. Ac nga engan ke nga lohng ke asruoki wo lowos, pwanang kowos tu na ku in lulalfongi lowos in Christ.
6 As therefore ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him:
Ke sripen kowos eis tari Christ Jesus tuh elan Leum lowos, kowos in moul in ma sefanna nu sel.
7 rooted and built up on him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Kowos in okala ac kapkapak in el, ac musaeak moul lowos an facl, ac akkeye lulalfongi lowos an oana ke lutiyuk nu suwos, ac kowos in sessesla in sang kulo.
8 Beware that no man make a prey of you by means of philosophy and vain delusion, after the tradition of men, after the principles of the world, and not after Christ:
Ke ma inge, kowos in arulana liyaung tuh wangin mwet in akkohsye kowos nu ke kutena lalmwetmet kikiap lun mwet, su elos eis ke sramsram matu lusrongten lun fwil somla ac liki ngun koluk ma leumi faclu ac yen engyeng uh, ac tia ma sin Christ.
9 for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;
Tuh ouiya mutal ac ma pwaye nukewa lun God kalem in Christ, ke el moul in mwet lac.
10 and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power:
Ac kw kowos fungyang nu sel, itukot nu suwos moul pwaye. El leum fin ku ac wal nukewa lun ngun.
11 in whom also ye have been circumcised with the circumcision not made with hands, by the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ:
Ke kowos kupasryang nu sin Christ, kowos kosreyukla, tia ke kosrala ma orek sin mwet, a ke kosrala lun Christ, su aksukosokyekowosla liki ku lun lung koluk ma oan in mano se inge.
12 buried with him in baptism, in which also ye have been raised up together with him by faith, the energy of God, who raised him from the dead.
Mweyen ke kowos baptaisla, kowos wi Christ pukpuki ac kowos oayapa akmoulyeyukyak yurin Christ, ke sripen lulalfongi lowos ke ku lun God, su akmoulyalak liki misa.
13 And you, who were dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him, freely forgiving you all trespasses;
In pacl meet ah, kowos misa in ngun ke sripen ma koluk lowos, ac mweyen kowos mwet pegan su muta sayen Ma Sap. Tusruktu God El akmoulyekowosyak yurin Christ. God El nunak munas nu sesr nukewa ke ma koluk lasr.
14 and hath blotted out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was the obstacle to us, and took it from the midst, nailing it to the cross;
El sacla ma simla in akkalemye soemoul lasr, oayapa oakwuk lun ma sap ma lain kut, ac patikya ma inge nu ke sakseng.
15 spoiling principalities and powers, he exposed them to view openly, triumphing over them on it.
Fin sakseng soko ah, Christ el sifacna aksukosokyalla liki ku ac wal nukewa lun ngun koluk yen engyeng uh, ac oru tuh elos in sie mwe intoe ke elos takla fahsr tokol oana mwet sruoh ke el akkalemye kutangla lal.
16 Let no man therefore judge you concerning what you eat, or what you drink, or the observance of a feast, or new moon, or the sabbaths;
Ke ma inge, nik kowos lela kutena mwet in oakiya ma sap nu suwos ke ma kowos in kang ku nim, ku nu ke Kufwen Malem Sasu, ku ke len Sabbath, ku kutena len mutal saya.
17 which are merely shadows of things to come: but the body is Christ’s.
Kain inge nukewa ngunnguninna ma su ac fah tuku in pacl tok uh. Ma sefanna ma pwaye uh pa Christ.
18 Let no man juggle you out of your prize, voluntary in his humility and the worship of angels, intruding into things which he never saw, vainly puffed up by his carnal imagination;
Nikmet lela kutena mwet in akkolukye kowos ke el sifacna fahk mu el fulat mweyen el liye aruruma, ac el sapkin tuh mwet uh in oru lumahlos in pusisel ac alu nu sin lipufan uh. Mwet ouinge inse fulat ke wangin.
19 and not firmly attached to the head, from which the whole body, by joints and ligaments, harmoniously adjusted and closely compacted, increaseth with increase from God.
El tila kupasr nu sin Christ, su sifen mano. Ye ku lun Christ, mano nufon se inge kiteyuk, ac kupasr ac alko nukewa kupasreni wo ac kapkapak fal nu ke lungse lun God.
20 If then ye have been dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye dogmatically taught,
Kowos wi Christ misa, na kowos sukosokla liki ku lun ngun koluk ma leumi faclu ac yen engyeng uh. Fin ouinge, efu ku kowos moul oana kowos in ma lun faclu? Efu ku kowos akos kain in ma sap su fahk,
21 eat not, nor talk, nor touch,
“Nimet sruok ma se inge,” ku “Nimet ema ma se ingan,” ku “Nimet kahl ma se ingo”?
22 (all which things tend to corruption by abuse) according to the injunctions and doctrines of men?
Oakwuk inge nukewa fin orekmakinyukla tari na wanginla sripa. Ma sap inge ac mwe luti inge ma na mwet oru.
23 Which things indeed hold forth an appearance of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and bodily mortification, though not of any value, but a gratification to the flesh.
Aok, kutu mwet uh nunku mu kain oakwuk inge orekla ke lalmwetmet, ma fahk mu in alu nu sin lipufan uh, ac oru lumahlos in pusisel, ku akkeokye manolos sifacna. Tusruktu wangin na pwaye sripen ma inge in sang kutongya ma lungse lun ikwa.
