Kolòs 2
1 Paske mwen vle fè nou konnen jan lit la gran pou nou menm ansanm ak sila ki Laodicée yo, e menm pou tout sila ki pa t, pèsonèlman, wè figi mwen yo;
For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and [for] them at Laodicea, and [for] as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 pou kè pa yo kapab ankouraje, akoz ke yo vin trese ansanm nan lanmou an. Se konsa yo atenn tout richès ki sòti nan asirans konplè a bon konprann nan, ki pwodwi kòm rezilta, vrè konesans mistè Bondye a, ki se Kris la, Li menm.
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 Nan Li menm kache tout trezò sajès ak konesans yo.
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Mwen di sa pou pèsòn pa twonpe nou avèk diskou ki kab sedwi moun.
And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5 Paske menm si mwen absan nan kò a, malgre sa mwen avèk nou nan Lespri a, epi m ap rejwi pou wè bon disiplin ak stabilite lafwa nou nan Kris la.
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Konsa, menm jan nou te resevwa Kris Jésus Senyè a, se konsa pou nou mache nan Li.
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him:
7 Menm jan ke nou te byen anrasine e kounye a, nou byen bati nan Li, e etabli nan lafwa nou, menm jan nou te enstwi a, plenn avèk remèsiman an.
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Veye ke pèsòn pa fè nou prizonye atravè filosofi ak fo manèv, pa tradisyon a lòm yo, nan prensip de baz mond lan, olye de pa Kris.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 Paske nan Li menm tout aspè konplè a Bondye a egziste nan fòm a yon kò fizik.
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 Epi nan Li menm nou vin konplè nèt, paske se Li menm ki chèf an tèt sou tout wayòm ak otorite yo.
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 Konsa, nan Li menm nou te sikonsi avèk yon sikonsizyon ki fèt san men, ki retire kò lachè a pa sikonsizyon a Kris la.
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Nou te antere avèk Li nan batèm nan. Nan li menm, nou te anplis resisite avèk Li pa lafwa kon yon zèv Bondye, ki te leve Li sòti nan lanmò a.
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 Lè nou te mouri nan transgresyon nou yo ak nan ensikonsizyon lachè nou an, Li te fè nou vivan ansanm avèk Li, lè l te padone tout transgresyon nou yo.
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Konsa Li te anile sètifika dèt nou ki te fòme pa dekrè kont nou yo, ki te parèt kòm lènmi nou. Konsa, Li te mete l sou kote, lè L te kloue li sou kwa a.
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 Lè Li te fin dezame gouvènè ak otorite yo, Li te fè yo vin afiche piblikman e te triyonfe sou yo pa Li menm.
[And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Konsa, pa kite pèsòn aji kòm jij nou konsènan manje oubyen bwason, ni respè a yon jou fèt oubyen yon lalin tounèf oubyen yon jou Saba.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:
17 Bagay sila yo se lonbraj a sila ki dwe vini an; men vrè sibstans lan apatyen a Kris.
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
18 Pa kite pèsòn kontinye prive nou de prim nou an pa riz fo imilite ak adorasyon zanj yo, ki baze pozisyon li sou vizyon yo li te fè, ki anfle san rezon ak ògèy pa panse chanèl li,
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 ki pa kenbe fèm a Tèt la. Paske se nan Li menm tout kò a ye a, ki vin founi e kenbe ansanm pa jwenti ak ligaman yo, ki grandi avèk yon kwasans ki sòti nan Bondye.
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Si nou te mouri avèk Kris a prensip de baz mond yo, poukisa, kòmsi nou t ap viv nan mond lan, nou soumèt nou a kalite dekrè konsa, kòm
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 “Pa manyen, pa goute, pa touche!”
(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 (Ki tout fè referans a bagay ki fèt pou peri pandan y ap sèvi yo)—an akò avèk kòmandman ak enstriksyon a lòm yo?
Which all are to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Bagay sa yo ki gen, asireman, aparans a sajès nan kwayans relijye ki fèt pou kont li, avèk imilyasyon de li menm, ak move tretman kò a, men ki pa gen okenn valè kont plezi lachè a.
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
