Makolose 2
1 Kakuli ni saka kuti mwi zive bukando vwa manyando aniva vi ka chenu, chavo kwa Laudesiya, mi vungi kana vava voni chifateho changu mu nyama,
For I woulde ye knewe what great fighting I haue for your sakes, and for them of Laodicea, and for as many as haue not seene my person in the flesh,
2 Ni seveza njikuti inkulo zavo zi susuwezwe chaku letwa hamwina mwi lato ni mu chose chifumu cha kwi zula nsepo ye nkutwisiso, mu maano a vuniti vuli patite vwa Ireza, nji kuti, Keresite.
That their heartes might be comforted, and they knit together in loue, and in all riches of the full assurance of vnderstanding, to know the mysterie of God, euen the Father, and of Christ:
3 Mwali vonse vufumu vwa vutali ni maano zi patitwe.
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisedome and knowledge.
4 Ni wamba ichi iri kuti nanga yenke ye ta mi cenge ca vuwambi vo ku wondelela.
And this I say, lest any man shoulde beguile you with entising wordes:
5 Mi niha ni sena nanwe mu nyama, kono nina nenwe mu luhuho. Ni nyakalala ku vona vuiswalo vwenu ni ca ziho ze ntumero yenu mwa Keresite.
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, reioycing and beholding your order, and your stedfast faith in Christ.
6 Sina hamu va tambuli Keresite Simwine, mu yende mwali.
As ye haue therefore receiued Christ Iesus the Lord, so walke in him,
7 Mu vyalwe cha kukola mwali, mu zakwe hali, mu simululwe mu ntumero sina mumu va rutirwa, ni ku kwatisa mu ku litumera.
Rooted and built in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye haue bene taught, abouding therein with thankesgiuing.
8 Mu vone kuti kakwina yo mi hapa kuya cha buchaziba ni bu chengeleli vwa mukungulu vu letwa chizo za vantu, kwi zuziliza ku mayendero e inkanda, ni kusa li zuziliriza kwa Keresite.
Beware lest there be any man that spoile you through philosophie, and vaine deceit, through the traditions of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 Kakuli mwali mu hala vutungi vonse vwa muviri we Ireza.
For in him dwelleth all the fulnesse of the Godhead bodily.
10 Mi mwi zuzizwe mwakwe. Nji mutwi wa ziho zonse ni maata.
And yee are complete in him, which is the head of all principalitie and power.
11 Mwali muva twaliwa ku mupato u sana uva chitwa cha vantu mu ku zwiswa ku muviri we nyama, kono mu mupato wa Keresite. Muva ungwa naye mu nkorovezo.
In whome also yee are circumcised with circumcision made without handes, by putting off the sinfull body of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ,
12 Mi mwali muva zwiswa che ntumero mu maata a Ireza, yava mu vusi ku vamu bafu.
In that yee are buried with him through baptisme, in whome ye are also raised vp together through the faith of the operation of God, which raised him from the dead.
13 Mi cwale hamu va fwile kwi nfoso zenu ni mukuva mu mupato we nyama yenu, ava mi pangi kuhala hamwina naye ni ku tu swalela zonse infoso zetu.
And you which were dead in sinnes, and in the vncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, forgiuing you all your trespasses,
14 Ava sindi indava zetu zonse za zikoroti ni ntaero zi ba tu lwisa. A va zi zwisi zonse ni ku zi kokotela ha chifapano.
And putting out the hand writing of ordinances that was against vs, which was contrarie to vs, hee euen tooke it out of the way, and fastened it vpon the crosse,
15 Ava zwisi maata ni zibo. Che mpatalaza chazi zibahaza ni ku va twala ku koma che nyakalalo cho mukwa we chifapano chakwe.
And hath spoyled the Principalities, and Powers, and hath made a shew of them openly, and hath triumphed ouer them in the same crosse.
16 Nji kuti, kanji mu zimini nanga yenke yo mi atula mu kulya kamba ku nya, kamba kaze zuva lya mukiti, kamba mwezi muhya, kamba ka mazuva a mukivero.
Let no man therefore condemne you in meate and drinke, or in respect of an holy day, or of the newe moone, or of the Sabbath dayes,
17 Izi muzuunde wa zintu zi keza, kono mutomo nji Keresite.
Which are but a shadowe of thinges to come: but the body is in Christ.
18 Kanji mu zuminini yo saka ze nyama ni ku lumbeka kwa mañeloi ku mi atula kuzwa ku mupuzo wenu. Muntu wina vulyo wi njira mu zintu za vaa voni ni ku litunduvula che mihupulo yakwe ye nyama.
Let no man at his pleasure beare rule ouer you by humblenesse of minde, and worshipping of Angels, aduauncing himselfe in those thinges which hee neuer sawe, rashly puft vp with his fleshly minde,
19 Ka kwatilili ku mutwi. Chizwa ku mutwi kuti muviri wonse ku sika mwi nuungo ni matefukiro zi tenda ni ku kwatila hamwina; chi kula ni cha mukulilo u herwe nji Ireza.
And holdeth not the head, whereof all the body furnished and knit together by ioyntes and bands, increaseth with the increasing of God.
20 Heva uva fwi ni Keresite cha zitendiso ze nkanda, chizi ho hala che ntamo ze nkanda:
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the ordinances of the world, why, as though ye liued in ye world, are ye burdened with traditions?
21 “Kanji u kwati, kamba ku sola, kamba ku wonda”?
As, Touch not, Taste not, Handle not.
22 Zonse izi zintu zi twala ku vu lyangelino ni ntuso, cha kuya ka milao ni ntuto za vantu.
Which al perish with the vsing, and are after the commandements and doctrines of men.
23 Iyi milao ina ku luka kwa kuli pangila chirumeri ni che nyama ni ntakazo za muvili. Kono ka zina vutokwa ku ku li twala mu nyama.
Which thinges haue in deede a shewe of wisdome, in voluntarie religion and humblenesse of minde, and in not sparing the body, which are thinges of no valewe, sith they perteine to the filling of the flesh.
