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,
yuṣmākaṁ lāyadikeyāsthabhrātṛṇāñca kṛte yāvanto bhrātaraśca mama śārīrikamukhaṁ na dṛṣṭavantasteṣāṁ kṛte mama kiyān yatno bhavati tad yuṣmān jñāpayitum icchāmi|
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,
phalataḥ pūrṇabuddhirūpadhanabhogāya premnā saṁyuktānāṁ teṣāṁ manāṁsi yat piturīśvarasya khrīṣṭasya ca nigūḍhavākyasya jñānārthaṁ sāntvanāṁ prāpnuyurityarthamahaṁ yate|
3 in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid,
yato vidyājñānayoḥ sarvve nidhayaḥ khrīṣṭe guptāḥ santi|
4 and this I say, that no one may deceive you with enticing words,
ko'pi yuṣmān vinayavākyena yanna vañcayet tadartham etāni mayā kathyante|
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;
yuṣmatsannidhau mama śarīre'varttamāne'pi mamātmā varttate tena yuṣmākaṁ surītiṁ khrīṣṭaviśvāse sthiratvañca dṛṣṭvāham ānandāmi|
6 as, then, you received Christ Jesus the LORD, walk in Him,
ato yūyaṁ prabhuṁ yīśukhrīṣṭaṁ yādṛg gṛhītavantastādṛk tam anucarata|
7 being rooted and built up in Him, and confirmed in the faith, as you were taught—abounding in it in thanksgiving.
tasmin baddhamūlāḥ sthāpitāśca bhavata yā ca śikṣā yuṣmābhi rlabdhā tadanusārād viśvāse susthirāḥ santastenaiva nityaṁ dhanyavādaṁ kuruta|
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,
sāvadhānā bhavata mānuṣikaśikṣāta ihalokasya varṇamālātaścotpannā khrīṣṭasya vipakṣā yā darśanavidyā mithyāpratāraṇā ca tayā ko'pi yuṣmākaṁ kṣatiṁ na janayatu|
9 because in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,
yata īśvarasya kṛtsnā pūrṇatā mūrttimatī khrīṣṭe vasati|
10 and you are made full in Him, who is the head of all principality and authority,
yūyañca tena pūrṇā bhavatha yataḥ sa sarvveṣāṁ rājatvakarttṛtvapadānāṁ mūrddhāsti,
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,
tena ca yūyam ahastakṛtatvakchedenārthato yena śārīrapāpānāṁ vigrasatyajyate tena khrīṣṭasya tvakchedena chinnatvaco jātā
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.
majjane ca tena sārddhaṁ śmaśānaṁ prāptāḥ puna rmṛtānāṁ madhyāt tasyotthāpayiturīśvarasya śakteḥ phalaṁ yo viśvāsastadvārā tasminneva majjane tena sārddham utthāpitā abhavata|
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,
sa ca yuṣmān aparādhaiḥ śārīrikātvakchedena ca mṛtān dṛṣṭvā tena sārddhaṁ jīvitavān yuṣmākaṁ sarvvān aparādhān kṣamitavān,
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;
yacca daṇḍājñārūpaṁ ṛṇapatram asmākaṁ viruddham āsīt tat pramārjjitavān śalākābhiḥ kruśe baddhvā dūrīkṛtavāṁśca|
15 having stripped the principalities and the authorities, He made a show of them openly—having triumphed over them by it.
kiñca tena rājatvakarttṛtvapadāni nistejāṁsi kṛtvā parājitān ripūniva pragalbhatayā sarvveṣāṁ dṛṣṭigocare hrepitavān|
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,
ato hetoḥ khādyākhādye peyāpeye utsavaḥ pratipad viśrāmavāraścaiteṣu sarvveṣu yuṣmākaṁ nyāyādhipatirūpaṁ kamapi mā gṛhlīta|
17 which are a shadow of the coming things, but the body [is] of the Christ;
yata etāni chāyāsvarūpāṇi kintu satyā mūrttiḥ khrīṣṭaḥ|
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,
aparañca namratā svargadūtānāṁ sevā caitādṛśam iṣṭakarmmācaran yaḥ kaścit parokṣaviṣayān praviśati svakīyaśārīrikabhāvena ca mudhā garvvitaḥ san
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.
sandhibhiḥ śirābhiścopakṛtaṁ saṁyuktañca kṛtsnaṁ śarīraṁ yasmāt mūrddhata īśvarīyavṛddhiṁ prāpnoti taṁ mūrddhānaṁ na dhārayati tena mānavena yuṣmattaḥ phalāpaharaṇaṁ nānujānīta|
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—
yadi yūyaṁ khrīṣṭena sārddhaṁ saṁsārasya varṇamālāyai mṛtā abhavata tarhi yai rdravyai rbhogena kṣayaṁ gantavyaṁ
21 you may not touch, nor taste, nor handle—
tāni mā spṛśa mā bhuṁkṣva mā gṛhāṇeti mānavairādiṣṭān śikṣitāṁśca vidhīn
22 which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men,
ācaranto yūyaṁ kutaḥ saṁsāre jīvanta iva bhavatha?
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.
te vidhayaḥ svecchābhaktyā namratayā śarīrakleśanena ca jñānavidhivat prakāśante tathāpi te'gaṇyāḥ śārīrikabhāvavarddhakāśca santi|
