Colossians 2
1 For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Ngunapinga mmumanyanje, shinguti lajilila kutenda liengo kwa ligongo lyenunji, na kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bha ku Laodikia na kwa ligongo lya bhowe bhakanabhe monanga mmeyo bhala.
2 that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,
Ngunatenda nnei nkupinga bhatagwanje ntima na bhalundananje nkupingana, bhaumanyanje utajili gowe gwa kuimanya ukoto indu ya kweli. Nkupinga bhaimanyanje kaje ya nng'iyo gwa a Nnungu, yani a Kilishitu bhayene.
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
Kwa bhenebho ishikwiiya ibhiko yowe ya lunda na lumanyio.
4 Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
Bhai, ngunakummalanjilanga genega, nkupinga mundu jojowe ananntembanje kwa malobhe ga unami, nkali ganonye.
5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
Pabha, nkali nkamonanje kwa meyo, ikabheje kwa muntima puni na mmanganyanji, nguliangalala nkummonanga shinkuti tamangana ukoto, na kwiishimilika nngulupai jenunji nkulundana na a Kilishitu.
6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
Bhai, shimwaaposhelenje a Yeshu Kilishitu kubha Bhakulungwa bhenunji, bhai ntamangananje nneyo peyo nkulundana nabho.
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
Ntamangananje ukoto nkulundana na bhenebho na shengwa panani jabho, na kwiishimilika nngulupai malinga shinnjigenywenje, na mpundanje kutenda eja.
8 Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after Christ.
Bhai mwiiteiganje, mundu anantembanje kwa lumanyio lwakwe lwa unami, lwa poshela kubhandu na majiganyo ga pa shilambolyo, gali nngabha ga a Kilishitu!
9 For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
Pabha kukamilika kowe kwa a Nnungu, kwabhoneshe mwa a Kilishitu nshiilu shabho,
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
na mmanganyanji nshipegwanga gumi gwa nng'ilimila nkulundana na bhenebho, bhali bhakulungwa bha mashili na ukulungwa gowe.
11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ,
Nkulundana na a Kilishitu mmanganyanji nnjalwikenje, numbe nngabha kwa tagwa na bhandu, ikabheje na a Kilishitu bhayene, nkugombolwa kopoka kushiilu shangali mashili.
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
Pabha, nkabhatishwanjeje mwashinkushikwanga pamo na a Kilishitu, na yuywa pamo na bhenebho kwa kulupalila mashili ga a Nnungu, bhaayushiye a Kilishitu bhakaweje.
13 You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
Na mmanganyanji pumwalinginji nng'wilenje, kwa ligongo lya yambi yenunji na gwangajaluka gwenunji. Ikabheje nnaino a Nnungu bhashikumpanganga gumi pamo na a Kilishitu, nikutuleshelela yambi yetu yowe,
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
gubhaputile malobhe gajandikwe ga kutulugula, na ukumu jakwe nikujishoya jinapagwe kabhili, kwa kujikomela munshalabha.
15 Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Gubhaapokonyolenje ukulungwa na mashili gabhonji bhakulungwanji na bhakwetenje mashili ga kumaoka, nikwatokomayanga palugwinjili akuno bhaliangalala pa lugwinjili lwa bhandu pa nshalabha gwa a Yeshu.
16 Let no one therefore judge you in eating or drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
Kwa nneyo, bhai, mundu ananng'ukumulanje kwa ligongo lya shalya, eu ya papila, eu kwa ligongo lya shikukuu, eu ga mwei gwa ambi, eu ga lyubha lya pumulila.
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
Pabha yeneyo ni ilanda ya indu ikwiya, ikabhe shindu ukoto, ni a Kilishitu.
18 Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Mundu jojowe ananng'ukumulanje, alikwiitemba kwiitimalika akuno ali kwaatindibhalila ashimalaika. Mundu malinga jwenejo anakagulila agamii yakwe, alikwiitapa kwa lunda lwake lwa shigundu,
19 and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God’s growth.
jwene mundujo ashikwaaleka a Kilishitu bhali ntwe gwa shiilusho. Nkulongoywa na a Kilishitu, shiilu showe shinaliywa na lundanywa pamo kwa ibhalo na minanga jakwe, penepo shiilu shinakula, malinga shibhapinga a Nnungu.
20 If you died with Christ from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
Bhai, ibhaga mmanganyanji mwashinkuwanganga pamo na a Kilishitu na gombolwa mmashili ga bhaatagwala bha pa shilambolyo, bhai, kwa nndi tama kabhili mbuti bhandu bha pa shilambolyo, nnibhishilwanga ibhagu?
21 “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
“Eti nnakamulanje ashi, eu nnapayanje ashi, eu nnakwayanje ashi!”
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
Gene gowego ni ga indu ya angabhanika, gali malajilo na majiganyo ga bhandunjipe.
23 These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body, but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Yeneyo puibhoneka mbuti ya lunda kwa namuna ja tindibhalila jimwiibhishilenje mwashaayenenji, nkwiitimalika na nkushipoteka shiilu na ilokoli yakwe, ikabheje ikapwaa shindu nkulekaya ilokoli ya shiilu.
