Ukolosiyawa 2
1 In nyara irusi ijase sa ma sa barki shi, barki an desa wa rani Ulaudikiya, nan aye gbardang sa daki wa mu ira muhenu mum ba.
For I would have you know what a great conflict I have for you, and for those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen me in person:
2 Ma wuza katuma bati muriba mu we me mu kem nikara uwatu upata uwe anyimo uhem uhana vat ure aje nan urusa! ukang ukadura kani hunzi na Asere, vana Asere.
that their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all the riches of a full assurance of understanding in these things, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of our God and Father, and of Christ:
3 Anyimo ani hunzi vat muso murusa nan mu.
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Ma buka shi ani me kati uye ma rangi shi intize tihunguko umuriba mushi.
And this I say, least any one should deceive you with fine speeches.
5 Vat unu zina sa inzom nigoo me nan shi abibe. In zin na puru arum in iri urusa tanu tishi nan akara ashi me.
For though I be absent in body, yet am I with you in spirit, rejoicing and beholding your regularity, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Sa yaa kabi vana ugomo Asere, tonno ni in nikara anyimo ame.
Therefore as ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him;
7 Cukuno nin gusi abira shi anyimo ame, akuri asuu shi asesere ame, i tonno anyimo u nya uhem, kasi udundura me sa awuzi shi, awuu gbardang anyimo ubezi iriba irum.
rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught it, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 I wuzi seke kati uye ma rangi shi una urusa nan nu hunguko ushi ahira una utanda wa naabu, una utarsa utimum tu nee, inzo ti vana Asere ba.
Take heed least any one make a prey of you by philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ:
9 Anyimo ame me anu rusa vat ubara Asere ani pum.
for all the fulness of the deity dwelleth personally in Him.
10 Shi, isa myinci anyimo ame. me mani aje ukonde uya ubari nan tigomo.
And ye are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
11 Anyimo ame me ani awuzi shi nigbari, inzo usandi unigbari sa anabu wa wuza ba, ni ukarsa uwa uni pum, ni vana Asere nini.
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision not performed by hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision which is of Christ:
12 A vati shi nan me ahira uzoro. Anyimo ame me ani ahirza shi uhem wnyimo ubari Asere, de sa maa hirza me anyimo iccau.
being buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are raised together with Him, through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.
13 Uganiya me sa ya zi mukizi anyimo upilzo ushi me, anyimo uzati uni gbari nini pum, maa canti shi nigoo me nan me, ma kuri ma vete vat upilzo ushi me ni.
And when ye were dead in trespasses, and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
14 Maa visi tireme tishi me sa amu zina anyertike nan unu inko utize sa wa raa ace aru, maa kari vat ma nuki asesere utiti ugankirka ume me.
and cancelled the obligation we were under by ritual decrees, which was grievous to us, and hath taken it quite away, even nailing it to his cross.
15 Maa kari ubari nan tigomo. Ama saa maa poki tini ma tarsi tini uhana ubukimure aje ahira ugangirka ume me.
And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made them an open spectacle, triumphing over them by it.
16 Barki ani me, kati uye ma nya shi ayari ahira imum yare nani imum i usa, nani ahira upeu usoo, nani abanga uwui wa sabar.
Let no one therefore judge you on account of meat, or drink, or in respect of a feast, or a new-moon, or sabbaths;
17 Timumum tigino me mazu mati mum me sa ti'eze ini aje, kadundura me kane kani vana Asere.
which are a shadow of good things to come, but the body is of Christ.
18 Kati uye ushi sa ma nyara ukaska unice nan ninonzo ni be Asere ma iri ayari ashi sa adi wu adiri ukalum ushi me. Usandi unu ugino make ribe anyimo ti mum sa ma iri ma cukuno unu yeze uni ce ubasa ume uni pum.
Let no one deprive you of your reward by an affected humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into what he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his carnal mind;
19 Nizi sas nan nice nani vat nipum tiji wan tihihira wa zin katuma nigoo me, mazin ti'uza nan ti uza me sa Asere a nyinza.
and not adhering to the head, from which all the body, being supplied and held together as by joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Inki ya wono nigoo me nan vana Asere ahira imum i unee, nyanini ya wuna izin nu wuza kasi shi anu unee wani.
If therefore ye be dead with Christ from the elements of the world; why, as if living in the world, are ye subject to ceremonial ordinances,
21 “Kati i canti, nani i donkino, nani idari?”.
(such as "touch not, taste not,
22 Vat timumum ti ge me umara utini ene ani ucorno ingi awuza katuma una udungura wa anabu.
handle not," which all tend to corruption in the using, ) according to the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Ugino u'inso utize uzin uzini urusa uni pum usandi una sa ayo nan utuzo nan unya uni pum ijasi. Izo me katuma ka ge sa nipum ni nyara ba.
which things indeed have a pretence to wisdom in voluntary worship, and humiliation, and bodily penance, as having no regard to the satisfying of the flesh.
