Wakolosai 2
1 Kwa kuj'ha nilonda mmanyai jinsi ambagho njele ni mal'ombosi gha mahele kwa ndabha j'hinu, kwa bhoha bhabhayele laokidia na kwa bhoha ambabho bhabhaloli Lepi pa mihu pangumu m'mbele.
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have about you, and those at Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh.
2 Nibhomba mbombo ili ndebha mitema ghya bhene ghibhwesiayi kufanjibhwa kwa kulatibhwa pamonga muluganu ni mu bhutajiri bhuoha, bhwingi bhwa bhuhakika kamili bhwa maarifa, katika kuimanya siri j'ha bhukweli j'ha k'yara, ambaj'he ndo krsitu.
So that their hearts may be encouraged, having been united together in love, and for all wealth of the full assurance of understanding, to knowledge of the mystery of the God and Father of the Christ.
3 Kwa muene hazina syoha sya hekima ni maarifa sifighilihu.
In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Nijhobha naha ili ndabha munu j'hej'hioha y'ola alihioli akabhabhombela hila kwa hotuba j'hiyele ni bhushawishi.
And I say this so that not any man may delude you with persuasive speech.
5 Na ingawa njele dumu pamonga namu mumb'ele, lakini njele namu mu roho. Nibekuhobhoka kulola bhutaratibu bhwinu unofu nighofu j'ha imani j'hinu mu kristu.
For even though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your orderliness, and the steadfastness of your faith for Christ.
6 Kame kyamwampokelili Kristu Bwana, mugendai mwa apeti muene.
As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
7 Mukomalisibhwayi Kama muene, mjengibhwayi Kama muene mkomalisibhyapayi mu imani Kama tu kyammanyisihbu, ni kufungibhwamu shukrurani j'himehele.
rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as ye were taught, abounding in it with thankfulness.
8 Mlangai j'ha kuj'ha munu j'hej'hioha ij'ola asebhakamulikwa falsafa ni malobhi mat'hop'ho gha bhudeli kulengana ni mapokelelu gha bhanaolamu, kulengana na kanuni sya kidunia, na sio kulengana ni Kristu.
Take heed lest there will be any man taking you captive through the love of wisdom and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 Kwa kuj'ha kwa muene bhukamilifu bhuobha bhwa k'yara bhwitama mu m'mb'ele.
Because in him all the fullness of the divinity dwells bodily.
10 Namu mmemesibhu ni muene. Muene ndo mutu bhwa kila bhuweza ni mamlaka.
And ye are men who have been made full in him, who is the head of every principal office and position of authority.
11 Kwa muene pia mwatahinibhu kwa tohara j'ha j'hitwanyibhu lepi ni bhana damu katika kubhosibhwa m'mb'ele bhwa nyama lakini ni mu tohara j'ha Kiristu.
In whom also ye were circumcised a circumcision not made with hands, in the removal of the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of the Christ.
12 Mwasyelibhu pamonga ni muene, mu bhubatatizo. Ni kwa NJ'ela j'ha imani mwa muene mwafumulibhu kwa bhuweza bhwa bhwa K'yara, j'ha amfufuwili kulioma kwa bhafu.
Having been buried with him in immersion, in which also ye were raised together through faith of the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 Na pamj'hele mfawili mu mmakosa ghinu ni kubela kutahiriwa mu mibhele gha muenga, abhefwanyili hai pamonga ni muene ni kutusamela makosa ghitu ghoha.
And you, being dead in transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you he made alive together with him, having forgiven us all the transgressions,
14 Afutili kumbukumbu j'ha madeni ghaghayandikibhu, ni taratibu syasyaj'hele kinyume natu. Abhosili ghoha ni kuj'hikomelela pa n'salaba.
having erased the handwriting against us in the regulations that were hostile to us, and he has taken it up from the midst, having nailed it to the cross.
15 Asibhosili nghofu ni mamlaka. Aghebhikili bhuwazi ni kughabhomba kuj'ha sherehe j'ha ushindi kwa nj'hela j'ha nsalaba bhwake.
Having stripped the principal offices and the positions of authority, he exposed them openly, having triumphed over them by it.
16 Henu, munu j'hej'hioha y'ola asbhahukumu muenga mu kulya au mu kunywa, au kuhusu ligono lya sikukuu au mwezi mpya au ligono lya sabato.
Let not any man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or in the matter of a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,
17 e'fe ndo fivuli fya Mambo gha ghihiola, lakini kiini ndo Kristu.
which are a shadow of the things coming, but the body is Christ's.
18 Munu j'haibhomba ghoha asinyakibhu tuzo j'ha muene kwa kutaman bhunyenyekevu ni kwa kuabudu malaika. Munu gha jinsi ej'hu ij'hingela mu mambo gha aghabhuene ni kushawishibhwa ni mabhuwazo ghake gha m'mb'ele.
Let no man umpire against you insisting on self-mortification, and worship of the agents, intruding in things that he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,
19 Muene akakikamulila lepi mutu. Ni kuhoma mu mutu kwamba m'mb'ele bhuoha kup'etela fiungo fya muene ni mafupa ghil'ong'eka ni kukamulisibhwa kwa pamonga; ni kuk'hola kwa ak'holaji bhwa wipisilibhwa ni k'yara.
and not holding to the head, from whom all the body, being supplied and held together through the connections and bonds, develops its growth from God.
20 Ikayelayi mwa fuwili pamonga ni Kristu kwa tabia sya dunia, mbone mwitama Kama mwibhwajibika kwa dunia:
If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why do ye submit to rules, as though living in the world?
21 “Msikamuli, bhwala kubhonja, bhwala kugusa”?
Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch
22 Aghaghoha ghaamuribhu kwa ndabha j'ha bhuharibifu bhwa bhwihida ni matumizi, Kul'hengana ni maelekezo ni mafundisu gha bhanadamu.
(which are all things for consumption by use), according to the commandments and teachings of men?
23 Sheria e'se iyele nihekima sya dini syasitengenesibhu kwa ubinafsi ni bhunyenyekevu ni mateso gha m'mb'ele. Lakini sij'hele lepi ni thamani dhidi j'ha tamaa sya m'mb'ele.
Which having, are indeed a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and self-mortification, and austerity of the body-not in any value against indulgence of the flesh.
