Colossians 2
1 For I would have you know in how severe a struggle I am engaged on behalf of you and the brethren in Laodicea and of all who have not known me personally,
In nyara irusi ijase sa ma sa barki shi, barki an desa wa rani Ulaudikiya, nan aye gbardang sa daki wa mu ira muhenu mum ba.
2 in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself.
Ma wuza katuma bati muriba mu we me mu kem nikara uwatu upata uwe anyimo uhem uhana vat ure aje nan urusa! ukang ukadura kani hunzi na Asere, vana Asere.
3 In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view.
Anyimo ani hunzi vat muso murusa nan mu.
4 I say this to prevent your being misled by any one's plausible sophistry.
Ma buka shi ani me kati uye ma rangi shi intize tihunguko umuriba mushi.
5 For although, as you say, I am absent from you in body, yet in spirit I am present with you and am delighted to witness your good discipline and the solid front presented by your faith in Christ.
Vat unu zina sa inzom nigoo me nan shi abibe. In zin na puru arum in iri urusa tanu tishi nan akara ashi me.
6 As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him;
Sa yaa kabi vana ugomo Asere, tonno ni in nikara anyimo ame.
7 having the roots of your being firmly planted in Him, and continually building yourselves up in Him, and always being increasingly confirmed in the faith as you were taught it, and abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Cukuno nin gusi abira shi anyimo ame, akuri asuu shi asesere ame, i tonno anyimo u nya uhem, kasi udundura me sa awuzi shi, awuu gbardang anyimo ubezi iriba irum.
8 Take care lest there be some one who leads you away as prisoners by means of his philosophy and idle fancies, following human traditions and the world's crude notions instead of following Christ.
I wuzi seke kati uye ma rangi shi una urusa nan nu hunguko ushi ahira una utanda wa naabu, una utarsa utimum tu nee, inzo ti vana Asere ba.
9 For it is in Christ that the fulness of God's nature dwells embodied, and in Him you are made complete,
Anyimo ame me anu rusa vat ubara Asere ani pum.
10 and He is the Lord of all princes and rulers.
Shi, isa myinci anyimo ame. me mani aje ukonde uya ubari nan tigomo.
11 In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not performed by hand, when you threw off your sinful nature in true Christian circumcision;
Anyimo ame me ani awuzi shi nigbari, inzo usandi unigbari sa anabu wa wuza ba, ni ukarsa uwa uni pum, ni vana Asere nini.
12 having been buried with Him in your baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith produced within you by God who raised Him from among the dead.
A vati shi nan me ahira uzoro. Anyimo ame me ani ahirza shi uhem wnyimo ubari Asere, de sa maa hirza me anyimo iccau.
13 And to you--dead as you once were in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your natural state--He has nevertheless given Life with Himself, having forgiven us all our transgressions.
Uganiya me sa ya zi mukizi anyimo upilzo ushi me, anyimo uzati uni gbari nini pum, maa canti shi nigoo me nan me, ma kuri ma vete vat upilzo ushi me ni.
14 The bond, with its requirements, which was in force against us and was hostile to us, He cancelled, and cleared it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross.
Maa visi tireme tishi me sa amu zina anyertike nan unu inko utize sa wa raa ace aru, maa kari vat ma nuki asesere utiti ugankirka ume me.
15 And the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests, when by the Cross He triumphed over them.
Maa kari ubari nan tigomo. Ama saa maa poki tini ma tarsi tini uhana ubukimure aje ahira ugangirka ume me.
16 Therefore suffer no one to sit in judgement on you as to eating or drinking or with regard to a festival, a new moon or a sabbath.
Barki ani me, kati uye ma nya shi ayari ahira imum yare nani imum i usa, nani ahira upeu usoo, nani abanga uwui wa sabar.
17 These were a shadow of things that were soon to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
Timumum tigino me mazu mati mum me sa ti'eze ini aje, kadundura me kane kani vana Asere.
18 Let no one defraud you of your prize, priding himself on his humility and on his worship of the angels, and taking his stand on the visions he has seen, and idly puffed up with his unspiritual thoughts.
Kati uye ushi sa ma nyara ukaska unice nan ninonzo ni be Asere ma iri ayari ashi sa adi wu adiri ukalum ushi me. Usandi unu ugino make ribe anyimo ti mum sa ma iri ma cukuno unu yeze uni ce ubasa ume uni pum.
19 Such a one does not keep his hold upon Christ, the Head, from whom the Body, in all its parts nourished and strengthened by its points of contact and its connections, grows with a divine growth.
Nizi sas nan nice nani vat nipum tiji wan tihihira wa zin katuma nigoo me, mazin ti'uza nan ti uza me sa Asere a nyinza.
20 If you have died with Christ and have escaped from the world's rudimentary notions, why, as though your life still belonged to the world, do you submit to such precepts as
Inki ya wono nigoo me nan vana Asere ahira imum i unee, nyanini ya wuna izin nu wuza kasi shi anu unee wani.
21 "Do not handle this;" "Do not taste that;" "Do not touch that other thing" --
“Kati i canti, nani i donkino, nani idari?”.
22 referring to things which are all intended to be used up and perish--in obedience to mere human injunctions and teachings?
Vat timumum ti ge me umara utini ene ani ucorno ingi awuza katuma una udungura wa anabu.
23 These rules have indeed an appearance of wisdom where self-imposed worship exists, and an affectation of humility and an ascetic severity. But not one of them is of any value in combating the indulgence of our lower natures.
Ugino u'inso utize uzin uzini urusa uni pum usandi una sa ayo nan utuzo nan unya uni pum ijasi. Izo me katuma ka ge sa nipum ni nyara ba.
