Colossians 2
1 In particular, I want you to realize that I am (exerting myself very greatly/working very hard) on your behalf, on behalf of those who are in Laodicea [city], and on behalf of all those others who have not seen me personally.
It jangonat Lodok'itse fa'a ashuwots aaninwere t shiitso dab be'e danaw ash jamwotssh awuk'o bodts kup'ts kaaro t kariruwok'o itdanetwok'o shunfee.
2 I am doing this in order that they and you [SYN] might be strengthened [spiritually] as you are united in loving [one another]. And I am doing this in order that they and you might fully and thoroughly [DOU] understand the message that God has now revealed; that is, in order that they and you might truly know the message from God our Father and about Christ,
Mank'o tk'alirwere it nibo kup'de'er shunon desheyarr, s'eents t'iwints jamo oorshde'er Ik'oko ááshts keewo wottso Krstosi bodanetwok'owe.
3 who alone is able to cause them and you to understand thoroughly [DOU] [this very important message].
Dani teleefonat dani gaalon ááshat b́fa'o Krstosoke.
4 I am telling you this in order that no one may deceive you by persuasive arguments;
Itsh han tietirwere konwor itn kooton b́dashrawok'owa etaatniye,
5 because, even though I am absent from you physically, I am very concerned about you. At the same time, I am rejoicing because I know that you are united [with each other] and that you believe firmly in Christ.
Dab meetson it atse twokiyalor Shayiron itntoniye, sheeng niwon itbeyiruwok'on Krstosatse it detsts kup'ts imnetiyo bek'onowere geneúwiruwone.
6 In a way that is (consistent/in harmony) with [the message that] you received about Christ Jesus, who is our Lord, conduct yourselves as you should, since you have a close relationship with him.
Doonzo Krstos Iyesusi it dek'tsok'on bín beewere,
7 Specifically, continue believing and practicing [MET, DOU] what you were first taught about Christ. Continue to do this more and more; continue to fIrmly believe all the true teaching, just like [Epaphras] taught it to you. And continue thanking [God, our Father], very much [for all that he has done for you].
Bíyats s'ap'arr ageyarr, dan itdek'tsok'on imnetiyon kup'ar beewere, s'eenr orit údo t'intswere.
8 Make sure that no one forces you [(pl)] to become his disciples [MET] by his teaching you a religious philosophy/doctrine that is worthless and false. Such a philosophy is false because it teaches what mere human beings think, because it teaches people elementary regulations/rules [that are concerned merely with what is external/physical], and because it teaches what is contrary to [the true teaching about] Christ.
Krstosats need'iyek b́woterawo datsanatsi daneets niwwats, k'awntsal kooton konworu itn deshb́de'awok'o it tooko korde'ere.
9 It is in Christ’s body that God lives completely.
Ik'o Ik' b́woti s'eeno atson be'eyat b́beyir s'eenon Krstosne.
10 And you are spiritually complete because you have a close relationship with Christ, who rules over every other ruler.
Itwere s'een kasho it daats alguronat aljami took wottso Krstosne.
11 Specifically, because of your close relationship with Christ, it is as though [MET] you were circumcised {Christ circumcised you} [spiritually]. This does not mean that someone circumcised you physically [MTY], but it means that Christ completely removed your self-directed nature.
Bín it amantsosh gofo amrte, it gof amanwere morrets it meets doyo baziyosh Krstosn fiineka bako ash kishon fiinekaliye.
12 And specifically, when you were baptized, [it was as though] [MET] you [had died and] were buried with Christ, and [it was as though] [MET] God caused you to live again with Christ as a result of your believing that God acted powerfully; specifically, by your believing that God caused Christ to become alive again.
It gupewor Krstosntoniye itdukeyi, bíntonowere k'irotse turte, k'irotse it tuwwere Krstosi k'irotse tuzts Ik'o angon it amantsotsne.
13 And specifically, you [who are non-Jews], because of your sins, you were [spiritually] dead [before you trusted in Christ]. You were uncircumcised [spiritually]; that is, your self-directed nature controlled you. Nevertheless, it was you whom God caused to become alive [spiritually because of their close relationship] [MET] with Christ. And specifically, God forgave us all our sins.
Morro itfintsonat itmeetsi doyo gof am b́k'aztsatse tuutson k'irkitne it teshi, andmó Ik'o Krstosnton k'irrawwotsi iti woshre, no morr únoshowere oorowe etre.
14 [It is just] as [though] he canceled ([the charges] against us/the sins [that we had committed]) for which [God] will punish us. And [it was just] as [though] [MET] it was [the charges on] that document/paper that he canceled by nailing them to the cross [when they nailed Christ on the cross].
Bí noon k'efefetst noon s'aamifets teshets nemotse fa'a k'awntso guut'etso t'afibazre, jitats mismaron togdek't noatse k'aaúbazre.
15 And specifically, God defeated the [evil] spirit beings that rule, and he demonstrated/showed that publicly; that is, he triumphed over them as a result of what [Christ did].
Kup'uwotsnat aletswotsn jitatse da'at bo edo b́ bítsiyakon da'etsuwotsi wotar sháánatse bo be'etuwok'o b́ woshi.
16 So disregard anyone who says that God will punish you because you eat [certain foods] and because you drink [certain drinks] or because [you do not celebrate] special [yearly] festivals or celebrate the time when the new moon [appears] or weekly (Sabbaths/Jewish days of rest).
Eshe móón wee ushon, Ik' aawu koton wee shaash taawur koton, wee sanbati aawu mangiy jangon konuworu itats angshk'aye.
17 [Disregard such people] because those [regulations/rules about food and drink and festivals] are [only] like a shadow [MET] [that is cast by something that is approaching; that is, they merely represent] the real spiritual blessings that Christ [has given to you].
Jamanots shino maants weet keewwotssh c'ishok'one, aronmo b́ daatset Krstosne.
18 Disregard those who say that God will punish you because [you do not worship God in the way that] they say [that you should]; that is, they insist that you should humiliate yourselves and that you should worship the angels. [Disregard such people] since they base their authority on things that they have never seen, and since they are proud without reason because their self-directed nature [controls] what they think,
Woteraw b́ took dash detson melakiwtsi ik'iyon bogtaana etiru asho konworu k'awntsalo itn b́ orirawok'o it atso korde'ere, hank'o ashaan b́ bek'iru bek'osh kááwu taana eton woteraw meetsi asaabiyone b́ it'iri.
19 and since they do not teach the true teaching about Christ [MET]. [Christ is the one who causes all of his people to develop/grow spiritually as God plans that they should develop/grow, just like] [MET] a person’s head directs how his body grows, as it is held together by its joints and ligaments.
Hank'o ashaan took wottso Krstosnton eegonoru gonkewo falratse, ats jamo gonkidek't shas'on deshit manzirwo tooke. Ik'o ats jamo b́ ditsir hank'one.
20 [It is as though] [MET] you died with Christ. So [you no longer have to obey] elementary regulations/rules [that are concerned merely with what is external/physical, just like a dead person no longer has to do anything]. So, do not submit to regulations/rules
Krstosnton k'irr datsanatsi daneets niwwotsatse b́ jamon galek it wotiyakon beré and datsanatse it galeraawok'o wotat eegishe hank'o tzaziyosh it keeweyir,
21 such as ‘Do not handle [certain things]’, ‘Do not taste [certain things]’, ‘Do not touch [certain things]’, as if you still had to obey such regulations/rules.
tzaziyotswere «Detsk'aye, fadk'aye, t'awik'aye» etirwotsiye.
22 All those things are intended to cease to exist when we use them. [And do not obey such regulations/rules], because they are what mere human teachers command and teach.
Jamanots ash fints tzaziyonat danatse tuutson b́ wottsosh finats bojiniyakon t'afosh k'andek'́kne.
23 [Do not obey such] regulations/rules; they only cause people to do what their self-directed nature wants to do. [Those regulations] seem to be wise because they [urge people to] worship as mere human teachers have decided. [They urge] that [people] should humiliate themselves, and that [people] should treat their bodies harshly. But those regulations/rules do not help [people] at all to not do the sinful things that their self-directed nature wants to do.
Tzaziyanots bo took shunotse t'úp'keshts ik'iyonat woteraw b́ took dash detso, ats juwats b́ bogshituwotse dan telefetswotsiye boariri, ernmó bo meets tewuno kórdek'atse k'awntso deshawwotsiye.
