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 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 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 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, namely, Meshikha,
3 Kwa muene hazina syoha sya hekima ni maarifa sifighilihu.
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
4 Nijhobha naha ili ndabha munu j'hej'hioha y'ola alihioli akabhabhombela hila kwa hotuba j'hiyele ni bhushawishi.
Now I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive 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 am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Meshikha.
6 Kame kyamwampokelili Kristu Bwana, mugendai mwa apeti muene.
As therefore you received Meshikha Yeshua, 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, even as you were taught, abounding in it 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.
Be careful not to allow anyone to captivate you through an empty and deceptive philosophy, according to human tradition, according to the elementary principles of the world, and not according to Meshikha.
9 Kwa kuj'ha kwa muene bhukamilifu bhuobha bhwa k'yara bhwitama mu m'mb'ele.
For in him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
10 Namu mmemesibhu ni muene. Muene ndo mutu bhwa kila bhuweza ni mamlaka.
and in him you are made full, who 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 you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Meshikha;
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 baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in 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.
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 Afutili kumbukumbu j'ha madeni ghaghayandikibhu, ni taratibu syasyaj'hele kinyume natu. Abhosili ghoha ni kuj'hikomelela pa n'salaba.
wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing 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 disarmed the rulers and authorities, 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.
Therefore do not let anyone judge you about food and drink, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
17 e'fe ndo fivuli fya Mambo gha ghihiola, lakini kiini ndo Kristu.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Meshikha'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 one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has 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 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 Ikayelayi mwa fuwili pamonga ni Kristu kwa tabia sya dunia, mbone mwitama Kama mwibhwajibika kwa dunia:
If you died with Meshikha from the elementary principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
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.
(all of which perish with use), according to human commandments and teachings?
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 indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
