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 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;
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;
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 Messiah,
3 Kahi i hunaia'i ka waiwai nui o ke akamai, a me ka naauao.
in whom 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.
Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of 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.
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 Messiah.
6 Nolaila hoi, no ka loaa ana mai o Kristo ia oukou, e hele oukou iloko ona;
As therefore you received Messiah Yeshua 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.
rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it 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.
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 Messiah.
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 the Deity dwells bodily,
10 Ua hemolele oukou maloko ona, oia ke poo o na'lii a pau a me ka mana.
and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
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 made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Messiah,
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.
having been buried with him in immersion, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working 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;
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,
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.
wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, 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.
Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
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.
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,
17 He aka no ia mau mea no na mea e hiki mai ana: aka o ke kino, no Kristo no ia.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah’s.
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 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,
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.
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.
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 with Messiah from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21 (Mai hoopa, mai hoao, mai lawelawe;
“Don’t 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 of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines 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 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.
