Colossians 2
1 For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,
Kakuli ni saka kuti mwi zive bukando vwa manyando aniva vi ka chenu, chavo kwa Laudesiya, mi vungi kana vava voni chifateho changu mu nyama,
2 that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,
Ni seveza njikuti inkulo zavo zi susuwezwe chaku letwa hamwina mwi lato ni mu chose chifumu cha kwi zula nsepo ye nkutwisiso, mu maano a vuniti vuli patite vwa Ireza, nji kuti, Keresite.
3 in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid,
Mwali vonse vufumu vwa vutali ni maano zi patitwe.
4 and this I say, that no one may deceive you with enticing words,
Ni wamba ichi iri kuti nanga yenke ye ta mi cenge ca vuwambi vo ku wondelela.
5 for if even in the flesh I am absent—yet in the spirit I am with you, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in regard to Christ;
Mi niha ni sena nanwe mu nyama, kono nina nenwe mu luhuho. Ni nyakalala ku vona vuiswalo vwenu ni ca ziho ze ntumero yenu mwa Keresite.
6 as, then, you received Christ Jesus the LORD, walk in Him,
Sina hamu va tambuli Keresite Simwine, mu yende mwali.
7 being rooted and built up in Him, and confirmed in the faith, as you were taught—abounding in it in thanksgiving.
Mu vyalwe cha kukola mwali, mu zakwe hali, mu simululwe mu ntumero sina mumu va rutirwa, ni ku kwatisa mu ku litumera.
8 See that no one will be carrying you away as spoil through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ,
Mu vone kuti kakwina yo mi hapa kuya cha buchaziba ni bu chengeleli vwa mukungulu vu letwa chizo za vantu, kwi zuziliza ku mayendero e inkanda, ni kusa li zuziliriza kwa Keresite.
9 because in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,
Kakuli mwali mu hala vutungi vonse vwa muviri we Ireza.
10 and you are made full in Him, who is the head of all principality and authority,
Mi mwi zuzizwe mwakwe. Nji mutwi wa ziho zonse ni maata.
11 in whom you also were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of sins of the flesh by the circumcision of the Christ,
Mwali muva twaliwa ku mupato u sana uva chitwa cha vantu mu ku zwiswa ku muviri we nyama, kono mu mupato wa Keresite. Muva ungwa naye mu nkorovezo.
12 being buried with Him in the immersion, in which you also rose with [Him] through the faith of the working of God, who raised Him out of the dead.
Mi mwali muva zwiswa che ntumero mu maata a Ireza, yava mu vusi ku vamu bafu.
13 And you—being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh—He made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all the trespasses,
Mi cwale hamu va fwile kwi nfoso zenu ni mukuva mu mupato we nyama yenu, ava mi pangi kuhala hamwina naye ni ku tu swalela zonse infoso zetu.
14 having blotted out the handwriting in the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the Cross;
Ava sindi indava zetu zonse za zikoroti ni ntaero zi ba tu lwisa. A va zi zwisi zonse ni ku zi kokotela ha chifapano.
15 having stripped the principalities and the authorities, He made a show of them openly—having triumphed over them by it.
Ava zwisi maata ni zibo. Che mpatalaza chazi zibahaza ni ku va twala ku koma che nyakalalo cho mukwa we chifapano chakwe.
16 Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a celebration, or of a new moon, or of Sabbaths,
Nji kuti, kanji mu zimini nanga yenke yo mi atula mu kulya kamba ku nya, kamba kaze zuva lya mukiti, kamba mwezi muhya, kamba ka mazuva a mukivero.
17 which are a shadow of the coming things, but the body [is] of the Christ;
Izi muzuunde wa zintu zi keza, kono mutomo nji Keresite.
18 let no one deceive you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and [in] worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he has not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,
Kanji mu zuminini yo saka ze nyama ni ku lumbeka kwa mañeloi ku mi atula kuzwa ku mupuzo wenu. Muntu wina vulyo wi njira mu zintu za vaa voni ni ku litunduvula che mihupulo yakwe ye nyama.
19 and not holding the Head, from which all the body—gathering supply through the joints and bands, and being knit together—may increase with the increase of God.
Ka kwatilili ku mutwi. Chizwa ku mutwi kuti muviri wonse ku sika mwi nuungo ni matefukiro zi tenda ni ku kwatila hamwina; chi kula ni cha mukulilo u herwe nji Ireza.
20 If, then, you died with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are you subject to ordinances—
Heva uva fwi ni Keresite cha zitendiso ze nkanda, chizi ho hala che ntamo ze nkanda:
21 you may not touch, nor taste, nor handle—
“Kanji u kwati, kamba ku sola, kamba ku wonda”?
22 which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men,
Zonse izi zintu zi twala ku vu lyangelino ni ntuso, cha kuya ka milao ni ntuto za vantu.
23 which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in self-willed religion, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body—not of any value to satisfying the flesh.
Iyi milao ina ku luka kwa kuli pangila chirumeri ni che nyama ni ntakazo za muvili. Kono ka zina vutokwa ku ku li twala mu nyama.
