Bhakoloshai 2
1 Ngunapinga mmumanyanje, shinguti lajilila kutenda liengo kwa ligongo lyenunji, na kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bha ku Laodikia na kwa ligongo lya bhowe bhakanabhe monanga mmeyo bhala.
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 Ngunatenda nnei nkupinga bhatagwanje ntima na bhalundananje nkupingana, bhaumanyanje utajili gowe gwa kuimanya ukoto indu ya kweli. Nkupinga bhaimanyanje kaje ya nng'iyo gwa a Nnungu, yani a Kilishitu bhayene.
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 Kwa bhenebho ishikwiiya ibhiko yowe ya lunda na lumanyio.
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
4 Bhai, ngunakummalanjilanga genega, nkupinga mundu jojowe ananntembanje kwa malobhe ga unami, nkali ganonye.
Now I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive words.
5 Pabha, nkali nkamonanje kwa meyo, ikabheje kwa muntima puni na mmanganyanji, nguliangalala nkummonanga shinkuti tamangana ukoto, na kwiishimilika nngulupai jenunji nkulundana na a Kilishitu.
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 Bhai, shimwaaposhelenje a Yeshu Kilishitu kubha Bhakulungwa bhenunji, bhai ntamangananje nneyo peyo nkulundana nabho.
As therefore you received Messiah Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,
7 Ntamangananje ukoto nkulundana na bhenebho na shengwa panani jabho, na kwiishimilika nngulupai malinga shinnjigenywenje, na mpundanje kutenda eja.
rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Bhai mwiiteiganje, mundu anantembanje kwa lumanyio lwakwe lwa unami, lwa poshela kubhandu na majiganyo ga pa shilambolyo, gali nngabha ga a Kilishitu!
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 Pabha kukamilika kowe kwa a Nnungu, kwabhoneshe mwa a Kilishitu nshiilu shabho,
For in him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
10 na mmanganyanji nshipegwanga gumi gwa nng'ilimila nkulundana na bhenebho, bhali bhakulungwa bha mashili na ukulungwa gowe.
and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power;
11 Nkulundana na a Kilishitu mmanganyanji nnjalwikenje, numbe nngabha kwa tagwa na bhandu, ikabheje na a Kilishitu bhayene, nkugombolwa kopoka kushiilu shangali mashili.
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 Pabha, nkabhatishwanjeje mwashinkushikwanga pamo na a Kilishitu, na yuywa pamo na bhenebho kwa kulupalila mashili ga a Nnungu, bhaayushiye a Kilishitu bhakaweje.
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 mmanganyanji pumwalinginji nng'wilenje, kwa ligongo lya yambi yenunji na gwangajaluka gwenunji. Ikabheje nnaino a Nnungu bhashikumpanganga gumi pamo na a Kilishitu, nikutuleshelela yambi yetu yowe,
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 gubhaputile malobhe gajandikwe ga kutulugula, na ukumu jakwe nikujishoya jinapagwe kabhili, kwa kujikomela munshalabha.
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 Gubhaapokonyolenje ukulungwa na mashili gabhonji bhakulungwanji na bhakwetenje mashili ga kumaoka, nikwatokomayanga palugwinjili akuno bhaliangalala pa lugwinjili lwa bhandu pa nshalabha gwa a Yeshu.
having disarmed the rulers and authorities, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Kwa nneyo, bhai, mundu ananng'ukumulanje kwa ligongo lya shalya, eu ya papila, eu kwa ligongo lya shikukuu, eu ga mwei gwa ambi, eu ga lyubha lya pumulila.
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 Pabha yeneyo ni ilanda ya indu ikwiya, ikabhe shindu ukoto, ni a Kilishitu.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah's.
18 Mundu jojowe ananng'ukumulanje, alikwiitemba kwiitimalika akuno ali kwaatindibhalila ashimalaika. Mundu malinga jwenejo anakagulila agamii yakwe, alikwiitapa kwa lunda lwake lwa shigundu,
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 jwene mundujo ashikwaaleka a Kilishitu bhali ntwe gwa shiilusho. Nkulongoywa na a Kilishitu, shiilu showe shinaliywa na lundanywa pamo kwa ibhalo na minanga jakwe, penepo shiilu shinakula, malinga shibhapinga a Nnungu.
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 Bhai, ibhaga mmanganyanji mwashinkuwanganga pamo na a Kilishitu na gombolwa mmashili ga bhaatagwala bha pa shilambolyo, bhai, kwa nndi tama kabhili mbuti bhandu bha pa shilambolyo, nnibhishilwanga ibhagu?
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 “Eti nnakamulanje ashi, eu nnapayanje ashi, eu nnakwayanje ashi!”
"Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch"
22 Gene gowego ni ga indu ya angabhanika, gali malajilo na majiganyo ga bhandunjipe.
(all of which perish with use), according to human commandments and teachings?
23 Yeneyo puibhoneka mbuti ya lunda kwa namuna ja tindibhalila jimwiibhishilenje mwashaayenenji, nkwiitimalika na nkushipoteka shiilu na ilokoli yakwe, ikabheje ikapwaa shindu nkulekaya ilokoli ya shiilu.
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.
