Kolossiyawa 2
1 Ina so ku san yadda na sha faman gaske dominku, domin wadanda ke a Lawudikiya, da kuma wadansu da yawa da a jiki basu taba ganin fuska ta ba.
For I would have you know how great a contest I am waging for you and the brethren in Laodicea, and for all who have never seen my face.
2 Na yi aiki saboda zuciyar su ta sami karfafawa ta wurin hada su cikin kauna zuwa dukan arziki na tabbaci da fahimtar asirin gaskiya na Allah, wato Almasihu.
May their hearts be comforted! May they be knit together in love! May they gain in all its riches the full assurance of their understanding! May they come to a perfect knowledge of the secret truth of God, which is Christ himself.
3 A cikinsa dukan taskar hikima da sani ke boye.
In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge!
4 Na fadi haka domin kada wani ya yaudare ku da jawabi mai jan hankali.
And this I say, lest any one should mislead you with enticing words.
5 Ko da yake ba na tare da ku a jiki, duk da haka ina tare da ku a cikin Ruhu. Ina murnar ganin ku a yanayi mai kyau da kuma karfin bangaskiyar ku cikin Almasihu.
For though I am absent from you in body, I am with you in spirit, happy to note your discipline and the solid front of your faith in Christ.
6 Kamar yadda kuka karbi Almasihu Ubangiji, ku yi tafiya cikinsa.
As then you have received Jesus Christ, your Lord, in him live your lives;
7 Ku kafu da karfi a cikinsa, ku ginu a kansa, ku kafu cikin bangaskiya kamar yadda aka koya maku, ku yawaita cikin yin godiya.
since you are rooted in him, and in him continually built up. Be firmly established in the faith as you were taught it, and continually abound in it with thanksgiving.
8 Ku lura kada wani ya rinjaye ku ta hanyar ilimi da yaudarar wofi bisa ga al'adun mutane, bisa ga bin abubuwan duniya, ba na Almasihu ba.
Take care lest any man drag you away captive by his philosophy which is a vain deceit, following the traditions of men and the world’s crude notions, and not Christ.
9 A cikinsa ne dukan Allahntaka ta bayyana ta jiki.
For it is in Christ that all the fullness of deity dwells bodily,
10 Ku kuwa kun cika a cikinsa. Shine gaban kowanne iko da sarauta.
and in him you have your fulness, and he is the Lord of all the principalities and powers.
11 A cikinsa ne aka yi maku kaciya, ba kaciya irin da yan adam suke yi ba, ta cire fatar jiki, amma ta kaciyar Almasihu.
In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands; even in putting off your sensual nature in Christ’s own circumcision,
12 An binne ku tare da shi ta wurin baftisma. Kuma a cikinsa ne aka ta da ku ta bangaskiya a cikin ikon Allah, wanda ya tashe shi daga mutattu.
when you were buried with him in baptism. In baptism also you were raised with him, through your faith in the energy of that God who raised him from the dead.
13 A lokacin da kuke matattu cikin laifofinku, a cikin rashin kaciyar ku ta jiki, ya rayar da ku tare da shi kuma ya yafe maku dukan laifofinku.
And you also, at one time dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sensual nature, he has made alive together with himself. For he forgave us all our transgressions,
14 Ya share rubutattun basussukanku da ka'idodin da suke gaba da mu. Ya cire su duka ya kafa su a kan giciye.
blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that stood against us and was hostile to us, and took it out of our way, nailing it to his cross.
15 Ya cire ikoki da sarautu. A fili ya falasa su ya shugabance su zuwa ga bukin nasara ta wurin giciyensa.
Principalities and powers he disarmed, and openly displayed them as his trophies, when he triumphed over them in the cross.
16 Saboda haka, kada kowa ya shari'anta ku ta wurin ci ko sha, ko kuma sabon wata, ko game da ranakun Assabaci.
Therefore do not permit any one to sit in judgment on you in regard to what you may eat or drink, or in regard to feast-days or new moons or sabbaths.
17 Wadannan sune inuwar abubuwan da ke zuwa nan gaba, amma ainihin shi ne Almasihu.
These were a shadow of things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
18 Kada kowa wanda ke son kaskanci da sujadar mala'iku ya sharantaku ku rasa sakamakonku. Irin wannan mutum yana shiga cikin abubuwan da ya gani ya zama mai girman kai a tunaninsa na jiki.
Let no man at his will defraud you of your prize through his false humility and worship of the angels, taking his stand on the visions he has seen, and vainly puffed up by his material mind;
19 Ba ya hade da kai. Daga kan ne dukan jiki da gabobi da jijiyoyi ke amfani suna kuma hade tare; yana girma da girman da Allah yake bayarwa.
instead of keeping connection with the Head from the whole body draws nourishment for all its needs by the joints which bind it; and is knit together, and grows with a divine growth.
20 In kun mutu tare da Almasihu ga ala'muran duniya, don me kuke rayuwa kamar kuna karkashin duniya:
If you died with Christ to the world’s rudimentary notions, why, as if you still lived in the world, do you submit yourselves to dogmatisms found on teachings and doctrines of men -
21 “Kada ku rike, ko ku dandana ko ku taba?”
such as "Do not handle this," "You must not taste that," "Do not touch this" -
22 Dukan wadannan abubuwa karshen su lalacewa ne in ana amfani da su, bisa ga kaidodi da koyarwar mutane.
all things which are intended to perish in the using?
23 Wadannan dokoki suna da hikima ta jiki irin ta addini da aka kago na kaskanci da kuma wahalar da jiki. Amma ba su da amfanin komai a kan abin da jiki ke so.
For these precepts, although they have a show of wisdom with their self-imposed devotions and fastings and bodily austerities, are of no real value against the indulgence of the carnal appetites.
