Kolosa 2
1 NO ka mea, ke ake nei au e ike oukou i ko'u ehaeha nui ana no oukou, a me ko Laodikeia, a me ka poe i ike ole mai i ko'u maka, i ke Kino nei;
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have had for you, for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh.
2 I hooluolu pu ia ko lakou naau, i hookui pu ia hoi i ke aloha, a i ka waiwai a pau o ka manao maopopo loa, i ka ike paka ana i ka mea pohihihi a ke Akua ka Makua a me Kristo;
I work so that their hearts may be encouraged by being brought together in love and into all the riches of full assurance of understanding, into the knowledge of the secret truth of God, that is, Christ.
3 Kahi i hunaia'i ka waiwai nui o ke akamai, a me ka naauao.
In him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4 O ka'u ia e olelo nei, o puni oukou i kekahi, i na olelo hoowalewale.
I say this so that no one may trick you with persuasive speech.
5 No ka mea, i ko'u kaawale ana ma ke kino, owau pu kekahi me oukou ma ka uhane, e hauoli ana, me ka nana ana i ko oukou pono like, a me ke kupaa ana o ko oukou manaeio ia Kristo.
Although I am not with you in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit. I rejoice to see your good order and the strength of your faith in Christ.
6 Nolaila hoi, no ka loaa ana mai o Kristo ia oukou, e hele oukou iloko ona;
As you received Christ the Lord, walk in him.
7 I hookumuia, a i hookukuluia iloko ona, a me ka hoomauia i ka manaoio i hoikeia mai ia oukou, a malaila e hoomahuahua ae ia me ka hoomaikai aku.
Be rooted in him, be built on him, be established in faith just as you were taught, and abound in thanksgiving.
8 E malama hoi, o hokai mai kekahi ia oukou me ka manao maalea, a me ka hoopunipuni lapuwale, mamuli o ka mooolelo o Kanaka, mamuli o na kumu o ko ke ao nei, aole hoi mamuli o Kristo.
See that no one captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, conforming to the elements of the world, and not conforming to Christ.
9 No ka mea, maloko ona e noho ana ka pono nui a pau o ke Akua ma ko kino.
For in him all the fullness of God lives in bodily form.
10 Ua hemolele oukou maloko ona, oia ke poo o na'lii a pau a me ka mana.
You have been filled in him, who is the head over every power and authority.
11 Iloko ona, ua okipoepoeia oukou i ke okipoepoe hana ole ia e ka lima, i ke pale ana aku i ke kino o ka hewa o ka io, ma ko Kristo okipoepoe ana;
In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not done by humans in the removal of the body of flesh, but in the circumcision of Christ.
12 I kanu pu ia me ia, i ka bapetizo ana, a ilaila hoi e ala pu hou ai me ia, ma ka manaoio i ka hana a ke Akua, a ka mea i hoala ia ia, mai ka make mai.
You were buried with him in baptism, and in him you were raised up through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 O oukou hoi ka poe i make iloko o ka hewa, a me ke okipoepoe ole ia o ko oukou kino, o oukou Kana i hoala pu hou mai nei me ia, a ua kala mai i ko oukou hewa a pau;
When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him and forgave us all of our trespasses.
14 E hokai ana i ka palapala lima o na oihana i pono ole ai Kakou, o ka mea i ku e mai ia kakou, oia kana i lawe aku ai, a makia aku la ma kona kea.
He canceled the written record of debts that stood against us with its regulations. He took it away by nailing it to the cross.
15 A kaili ae la oia i ko na'lii, a me ko na mea mana, ua hoike ia lakou ma ke akea, e lanakila ana maluna o lakou ma keia.
He disarmed the powers and authorities and made a public spectacle of them, by being victorious over them by the cross.
16 Nolaila, mai hoahewa mai kekahi ia oukou, i ka mea ai, a me ka mea inu, aole hoi no kahi la hoano, a me ka mahina hou, a me na sabati.
So then, let no one judge you in eating or in drinking, or about a feast day or a new moon, or about Sabbath days.
17 He aka no ia mau mea no na mea e hiki mai ana: aka o ke kino, no Kristo no ia.
These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance is Christ.
18 Mai hoonele mai kekahi ia oukou i ko oukou uku ma ka hoohaahaa wale ana, a me ka hoomana ana i na anela, e maoi wale ana iloko o na mea ana i ike ole ai, e hookano wale ana kona naau kanaka,
Let no one who wants humility and the worship of angels judge you out of your prize. Such a person enters into the things he has seen and becomes puffed up by his fleshly thinking.
19 Me ka malama ole i ke Poo, i ka mea i hanaiia mai ai ke kino a pau, i paa i na ami a me na olona, ua mahuahua aku ia i ko ke Akua hoomahuahua ana mai.
He does not hold on to the head. It is from the head that the whole body throughout its joints and ligaments is supplied and held together; it grows with the growth given by God.
20 Ina hoi i make pu oukou me Kristo, a kaawale na kumu liilii o ko ke ao nei, no ke aha hoi oukou, e like me ka noho ana ma keia ao, i malama ai i na kapu,
If you died together with Christ to the elements of the world, why do you live as obligated to the world:
21 (Mai hoopa, mai hoao, mai lawelawe;
“Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”?
22 O na mea ia e make ai ma ka lawe ana; ) mamuli o na kauoha a me na oleloao a kanaka?
All these things will perish with use, according to the instructions and teachings of men.
23 He mau mea hookohukohu naauao, i ka hoomana e, a i ka hoohaahaa, a i ka malama ole i ke kino, aole nae i ka mea nui e oluolu ai ke kino.
These rules have the wisdom of self-made religion and humility and severity of the body. But they have no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
