Colossians 2
1 But Y wole that ye wite, what bisynesse Y haue for you, and for hem that ben at Laodice, and whiche euere saien not my face in fleisch,
Volo enim vos scire qualem solicitudinem habeam pro vobis, et pro iis, qui sunt Laodiciae, et quicumque non viderunt faciem meam in carne:
2 that her hertis ben coumfortid, and thei ben tauyt in charite, in to alle the richessis of the plente of the vndurstondyng, in to the knowyng of mysterie of God, the fadir of Jhesu Crist,
ut consolentur corda ipsorum, instructi in charitate, et in omnes divitias plenitudinis intellectus, in agnitionem mysterii Dei Patris et Christi Iesu:
3 in whom alle the tresouris of wisdom and of science ben hid.
in quo sunt omnes thesauri sapientiae, et scientiae absconditi.
4 For this thing Y seie, that no man disseyue you in heiythe of wordis.
Hoc autem dico, ut nemo vos decipiat in sublimitate sermonum.
5 For thouy Y be absent in bodi, bi spirit Y am with you, ioiynge and seynge youre ordre and the sadnesse of youre bileue that is in Crist.
Nam etsi corpore absens sum, sed spiritu vobiscum sum: gaudens, et videns ordinem vestrum, et firmamentum eius, quae in Christo est, fidei vestrae.
6 Therfor as ye han takun Jhesu Crist oure Lord,
Sicut ergo accepistis Iesum Christum Dominum, in ipso ambulate,
7 walke ye in hym, and be ye rootid and bieldid aboue in hym, and confermyd in the bileue, as ye han lerud, aboundinge in hym in doynge of thankyngis.
radicati, et superaedificati in ipso, et confirmati in fide, sicut et didicistis, abundantes in illo in gratiarum actione:
8 Se ye that no man disseyue you bi filosofie and veyn fallace, aftir the tradicioun of men, aftir the elementis of the world, and not aftir Crist.
Videte ne quis vos decipiat per philosophiam, et inanem fallaciam secundum traditionem hominum, secundum elementa mundi, et non secundum Christum:
9 For in hym dwellith bodilich al the fulnesse of the Godhed.
quia in ipso inhabitat omnis plenitudo divinitatis corporaliter:
10 And ye ben fillid in hym, that is heed of al principat and power.
et estis in illo repleti, qui est caput omnis principatus, et potestatis:
11 In whom also ye ben circumcidid in circumcisioun not maad with hoond, in dispoyling of the bodi of fleisch, but in circumcisioun of Crist;
in quo et circumcisi estis circumcisione non manu facta in expoliatione corporis carnis, sed in circumcisione Christi:
12 and ye ben biried togidere with hym in baptim, in whom also ye han rise ayen bi feith of the worching of God, that reiside hym fro deth.
consepulti ei in baptismo, in quo et resurrexistis per fidem operationis Dei, qui suscitavit illum a mortuis.
13 And whanne ye weren deed in giltis, and in the prepucie of youre fleisch, he quikenyde togidere you with hym;
Et vos cum mortui essetis in delictis, et praeputio carnis vestrae, convivificavit cum illo, donans vobis omnia delicta:
14 foryyuynge to you alle giltis, doynge awei that writing of decre that was ayens vs, that was contrarie to vs; and he took awei that fro the myddil, pitchinge it on the cros;
delens quod adversus nos erat chirographum decreti, quod erat contrarium nobis, et ipsum tulit de medio, affigens illud cruci:
15 and he spuylide principatis and poweris, and ledde out tristili, opynli ouercomynge hem in hym silf.
et expolians principatus, et potestates traduxit confidenter, palam triumphans illos in semetipso.
16 Therfor no man iuge you in mete, or in drink, or in part of feeste dai, or of neomenye,
Nemo ergo vos iudicet in cibo, aut in potu, aut in parte diei festi, aut neomeniae, aut sabbatorum:
17 or of sabatis, whiche ben schadewe of thingis to comynge; for the bodi is of Crist.
quae sunt umbra futurorum: corpus autem Christi.
18 No man disseyue you, willynge to teche in mekenesse, and religioun of aungelis, tho thingis whiche he hath not seyn, walkinge veynli, bolnyd with wit of his fleisch,
Nemo vos seducat, volens in humilitate, et religione angelorum, quae non vidit ambulans, frustra inflatus sensu carnis suae,
19 and not holdynge the heed, of which al the bodi, bi boondis and ioynyngis togidere vndur mynystrid and maad, wexith in to encreessing of God.
et non tenens caput, ex quo totum corpus per nexus, et coniunctiones subministratum, et constructum crescit in augmentum Dei.
20 For if ye ben deed with Crist fro the elementis of this world, what yit as men lyuynge to the world demen ye?
Si ergo mortui estis cum Christo ab elementis huius mundi: quid adhuc tamquam viventes in mundo decernitis?
21 That ye touche not, nether taaste,
Ne tetigeritis, neque gustaveritis, neque contrectaveritis:
22 nether trete with hoondis tho thingis, whiche alle ben in to deth bi the ilke vss, aftir the comaundementis and the techingis of men;
quae sunt omnia in interitum ipso usu, secundum praecepta, et doctrinas hominum:
23 whiche han a resoun of wisdom in veyn religioun and mekenesse, and not to spare the bodi, not in ony onour to the fulfillyng of the fleisch.
quae sunt rationem quidem habentia sapientiae in superstitione, et humilitate, et non ad parcendum corpori, non in honore aliquo ad saturitatem carnis.
