Colossae 2
1 Nga ke kowos in etu lupan kwafe luk keiwos ac ke mwet lulalfongi in acn Laodicea, ac oayapa kaclos nukewa su nga soenna sonolos.
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 Nga oru ma inge in akkeye insialos, ac in akfototoyalos nu sin sie sin sie ke lungse, tuh elos fah ku in arulana lulalfongi ke sripen etauk lalos ke ma pwaye. In ouiya se inge elos fah etu ma lukma lun God ma tia eteyuk meet, su pa kacl Christ sifacna.
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, Messiah,
3 El na pa ku in ikasla kalmen etauk ac lalmwetmet nukewa lun God, su oana sie ma saok wikinyukla meet.
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
4 Ke ma inge nga fahk nu suwos, nikmet lela kutena mwet in kiapwekowosla ke kas in eyeinse lusrongten, finne wo srumunya selos.
Now I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive words.
5 Tuh nga finne wangin yuruwos, a nga wi kowos na in ngun. Ac nga engan ke nga lohng ke asruoki wo lowos, pwanang kowos tu na ku in lulalfongi lowos in Christ.
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 Messiah.
6 Ke sripen kowos eis tari Christ Jesus tuh elan Leum lowos, kowos in moul in ma sefanna nu sel.
As therefore you received Messiah Yeshua, the Lord, walk in him,
7 Kowos in okala ac kapkapak in el, ac musaeak moul lowos an facl, ac akkeye lulalfongi lowos an oana ke lutiyuk nu suwos, ac kowos in sessesla in sang kulo.
rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Ke ma inge, kowos in arulana liyaung tuh wangin mwet in akkohsye kowos nu ke kutena lalmwetmet kikiap lun mwet, su elos eis ke sramsram matu lusrongten lun fwil somla ac liki ngun koluk ma leumi faclu ac yen engyeng uh, ac tia ma sin Christ.
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 Messiah.
9 Tuh ouiya mutal ac ma pwaye nukewa lun God kalem in Christ, ke el moul in mwet lac.
For in him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
10 Ac kw kowos fungyang nu sel, itukot nu suwos moul pwaye. El leum fin ku ac wal nukewa lun ngun.
and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power;
11 Ke kowos kupasryang nu sin Christ, kowos kosreyukla, tia ke kosrala ma orek sin mwet, a ke kosrala lun Christ, su aksukosokyekowosla liki ku lun lung koluk ma oan in mano se inge.
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 Messiah;
12 Mweyen ke kowos baptaisla, kowos wi Christ pukpuki ac kowos oayapa akmoulyeyukyak yurin Christ, ke sripen lulalfongi lowos ke ku lun God, su akmoulyalak liki misa.
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 In pacl meet ah, kowos misa in ngun ke sripen ma koluk lowos, ac mweyen kowos mwet pegan su muta sayen Ma Sap. Tusruktu God El akmoulyekowosyak yurin Christ. God El nunak munas nu sesr nukewa ke ma koluk lasr.
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 El sacla ma simla in akkalemye soemoul lasr, oayapa oakwuk lun ma sap ma lain kut, ac patikya ma inge nu ke sakseng.
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 Fin sakseng soko ah, Christ el sifacna aksukosokyalla liki ku ac wal nukewa lun ngun koluk yen engyeng uh, ac oru tuh elos in sie mwe intoe ke elos takla fahsr tokol oana mwet sruoh ke el akkalemye kutangla lal.
having disarmed the rulers and authorities, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Ke ma inge, nik kowos lela kutena mwet in oakiya ma sap nu suwos ke ma kowos in kang ku nim, ku nu ke Kufwen Malem Sasu, ku ke len Sabbath, ku kutena len mutal saya.
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 Kain inge nukewa ngunnguninna ma su ac fah tuku in pacl tok uh. Ma sefanna ma pwaye uh pa Christ.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah's.
18 Nikmet lela kutena mwet in akkolukye kowos ke el sifacna fahk mu el fulat mweyen el liye aruruma, ac el sapkin tuh mwet uh in oru lumahlos in pusisel ac alu nu sin lipufan uh. Mwet ouinge inse fulat ke wangin.
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 El tila kupasr nu sin Christ, su sifen mano. Ye ku lun Christ, mano nufon se inge kiteyuk, ac kupasr ac alko nukewa kupasreni wo ac kapkapak fal nu ke lungse lun God.
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 Kowos wi Christ misa, na kowos sukosokla liki ku lun ngun koluk ma leumi faclu ac yen engyeng uh. Fin ouinge, efu ku kowos moul oana kowos in ma lun faclu? Efu ku kowos akos kain in ma sap su fahk,
If you died with Messiah from the elementary principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21 “Nimet sruok ma se inge,” ku “Nimet ema ma se ingan,” ku “Nimet kahl ma se ingo”?
"Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch"
22 Oakwuk inge nukewa fin orekmakinyukla tari na wanginla sripa. Ma sap inge ac mwe luti inge ma na mwet oru.
(all of which perish with use), according to human commandments and teachings?
23 Aok, kutu mwet uh nunku mu kain oakwuk inge orekla ke lalmwetmet, ma fahk mu in alu nu sin lipufan uh, ac oru lumahlos in pusisel, ku akkeokye manolos sifacna. Tusruktu wangin na pwaye sripen ma inge in sang kutongya ma lungse lun ikwa.
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.
