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 would that you knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the 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.
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 Kwa muene hazina syoha sya hekima ni maarifa sifighilihu.
In whom are hid 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 this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
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 though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Kame kyamwampokelili Kristu Bwana, mugendai mwa apeti muene.
As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk you 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, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
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.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 Kwa kuj'ha kwa muene bhukamilifu bhuobha bhwa k'yara bhwitama mu m'mb'ele.
For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
10 Namu mmemesibhu ni muene. Muene ndo mutu bhwa kila bhuweza ni mamlaka.
And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
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 you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of 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.
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also you are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who has 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 your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, has he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Afutili kumbukumbu j'ha madeni ghaghayandikibhu, ni taratibu syasyaj'hele kinyume natu. Abhosili ghoha ni kuj'hikomelela pa n'salaba.
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 Asibhosili nghofu ni mamlaka. Aghebhikili bhuwazi ni kughabhomba kuj'ha sherehe j'ha ushindi kwa nj'hela j'ha nsalaba bhwake.
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in 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 no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 e'fe ndo fivuli fya Mambo gha ghihiola, lakini kiini ndo Kristu.
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
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 beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
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 the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God.
20 Ikayelayi mwa fuwili pamonga ni Kristu kwa tabia sya dunia, mbone mwitama Kama mwibhwajibika kwa dunia:
Why if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances,
21 “Msikamuli, bhwala kubhonja, bhwala kugusa”?
(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Aghaghoha ghaamuribhu kwa ndabha j'ha bhuharibifu bhwa bhwihida ni matumizi, Kul'hengana ni maelekezo ni mafundisu gha bhanadamu.
Which all are to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines 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 things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh.
