Colossians 2
1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and [for] them at Laodicea, and [for] as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Ngusaka mmanyilile inguti pakupanganya masengo kwa kuchalila kwa ligongo lyenu ni kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵa ku Laodikia ni kwa ligongo lya wose ŵanganamone une.
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Ngupanganya yelei kuti atulaswe mitima ni kulumbikana pamo mu unonyelo ni pakupunda yeleyo akombole kugumbalichiswa upile kwa winji ni kumanyilila kwa kusyene. Pele chakombole kuchimanyilila chantemela cha Akunnungu, malumbo gakwe kwamanyilila Kilisito asyene.
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Ŵelewo pe ni ŵakukombola kwatenda ŵandu alumanyilile lunda lose ni umanyilisi wose wa Akunnungu.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Ngunsalila ŵanyamwe maloŵe ga kuti mundu akanlambusya kwa maloŵe gakunnyenga namuno gakuwoneka gambone.
5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
Pakuŵa atamuno ndalichile kwa chiilu, nambo ndili pamo ni ŵanyamwe mu mbumu, none ngusengwa kwiwona ipanganyo yenu ikwendelechela kwa ukotopasyo ni inkuti pakwima chimile nkwakulupilila Kilisito.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him:
Nipele pakuŵa mwapochele Kilisito Yesu kuŵa Ambuje ŵenu, iyoyo njendeje nkulumbikana ni ŵelewo.
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Njendelechele kukamulangana nawo mpela ila nkuŵika michiga nkati mwakwe ni umi wenu utaŵikwe pachanya pakwe ni kwima nkulimbangana mu chikulupi mpela imwatite kujiganyikwa. Pakupunda yeleyo mmeje ŵakutogolela nnope.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Nlilolechesye akaika mundu kukunnambusya kwa maloŵe ga majiganyo gaunami, ndande jakwe jili mapochelo ga ŵandu ni ga masoka gagakulamula pachilambo nambo ngagakutyochela kwa Kilisito asyene.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Pakuŵa chinungu chose cha Akunnungu chili mu nkati mwa chiilu cha Kilisito.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Ni nkulumbikana nawo, ŵanyamwe nkwete umi wautindimisyo. Ŵelewo akwete ulamusi pa masoka gagakutawala ni achakulu wose.
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Nkulumbikana ni Kilisito ŵanyamwe mwaumbele ni kusileka tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo nambo kuumbala kwangatendekwa kwa makono ga ŵandu nambo mmumbeswe ni Kilisito nsyene.
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Pakuŵa pamwabatisilwe mwasichikwe pamo ni Kilisito, ni mu ubatiso wo iyoyo ŵanyamwe mwasyuchile pamo nawo ligongo mwakulupilile machili ga Akunnungu, juŵansyusisye Che Yesu.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Kalakala mwaliji ŵawe ligongo lya sambi syenu ni tama sya chiilu syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo syasikusaka kupanganya sambi syaliji syangatyochekwa. Nambo sambano Akunnungu ampele umi pamo ni Kilisito. Nombe Akunnungu atulechelesye sambi syetu syose,
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
paŵachipukwite chikalata chachilembekwe magambo getu pamo ni malajisyo gakwe chati Akunnungu akatulamulile uwe, ŵachipukwite kusyene kwa kuchiŵamba pa nsalaba.
15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Pa nsalaba po Kilisito ŵagasumwile machili masoka gagakutawala ni achakulu ŵakutawala. Ŵatasile soni paujo pa ŵandu kwa kwakwekwelemya nti ŵandu ŵataŵikwe mu ulendo kwalosya kuti ŵapundile.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:
Nkakunda mundu jwalijose kummichila lilajisyo nkati chakulya ni yakung'wa atamuno yankati lyuŵa lya chindimba pane Lyuŵa lyakuwoneka lwesi pane Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
Ayiyi yose ili chiwilili cha indu yaikwika yo, nambo usyene wa yele yose uli Kilisito nsyene.
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Nkajitichisya kulamulikwa ni mundu jwalijose jwakulilola kwa paasa kuti ali jwakulitulusya ni jwakwapopelela achikatumetume ŵa kwinani. Mundu jwanti yele akulifuna kwa indu yaiweni ni kwa ligongo lya lunda lwakwe.
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Mundu jo alesile kukamulangana ni Kilisito ŵaali ntwe wa chiilu. Kwa litala lya ŵelewo chiilu chose chikutagwa machili ni kulumbikanywa pamo kwa iŵalo ni mitasi jakwe, nombecho chikukula kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu.
20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Ŵanyamwe mwawile pamo ni Kilisito ni kuwombolwa kutyochela mu machili ga masoka gagakulamula pa chilambo. Ana ligongo chi nkutama mpela ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo? Kwa chichi nkugajitichisya malajisyo gati yeleyo,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
“Nkakamula chelechi, nkapasya chelechi, nkakwaya achila”?
22 Which all are to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Yeleyo yose chiŵe yangalimate yamalaga kutumika. Yeleyo yose ili malajisyo ni majiganyo ga ŵandu pe.
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Isyene malajisyo ga gakuwoneka kuŵa ga lunda, nkupopela kwaliŵichile achinsyene ni nkulitulusya kwao ni nkuchilongosya chiilu kwakuchisausya. Nambo yele yose nganikola machili ga kusilekasya tama sya chiilu.
