Vakolosai 2
1 Nigana mmanyai chanihenga lihengu chakukangamala ndava yinu, ndava ya vandu va Laodikea na ndava ya vandu voha vevangakonganeka na nene.
For I would have you know what a great conflict I have for you, and for those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen me in person:
2 Nikita chenichi muni kwa kuvakangamalisa mitima kangi kuletwa pamonga muuganu muni mumemeswa mota za kumanya uchakaka. Muni muhotola kumanya mambu gegafiyiki na Chapanga, mambu ago ndi Kilisitu mwene.
that their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all the riches of a full assurance of understanding in these things, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of our God and Father, and of Christ:
3 Mugati yaki mwene vifiyiki vindu vyamahele na luhala na umanya wa Chapanga.
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Hinu, nikuvajovela, mkoto kuyidikila kukongwa na mundu yoyoha kwa malovi ga udese hati ngati ga kuchenjela.
And this I say, least any one should deceive you with fine speeches.
5 Muni, pamonga na nene kuvya patali na nyenye kwa higa, nambu nivili pamonga na nyenye mumtima, ukuvaholalela neju, na niheka kulola mambu ginu chegihamba bwina na kuyima musadika yinu kwa Kilisitu.
For though I be absent in body, yet am I with you in spirit, rejoicing and beholding your regularity, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Muni nyenye mumyidikili Yesu Kilisitu mweavili Bambu, muyendelela kutama mukuwungana nayu.
Therefore as ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him;
7 Muyendelela kumsadika ngati kusopa mikiga mugati yaki na kuujenga wumi waki na kuvya kuyima mukukangamala musadika ngati chamwawuliwi. Mvya vandu vakusengusa.
rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught it, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Mlola, hinu, mundu akotoka kuvayagisa kwa kuvakonga muluhala lwa chimundu wewihuma mumawuliwu ga vandu vevapewili na vagogo vavi na mizuka yeyilongosa pamulima, na lepi Kilisitu mwene!
Take heed least any one make a prey of you by philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ:
9 Muni, mugati ya Kilisitu umundu waki, uvi utimilifu woha wa Chapanga,
for all the fulness of the deity dwelleth personally in Him.
10 na nyenye mpewili wumi weudandasiki mukuwungana Kilisitu. Mwene avi na uhotola panani ya mizuka yoha na vakulu voha.
And ye are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
11 Mukuwungana na Kilisitu nyenye mwadumwili jandu, nambu lepi yeyikitiwa na vandu, ndi yeyikitiwa na Kilisitu mwene. Na yeniyo ndi lihengu la kuvagombola vandu kuhuma mnogo wavi uhakau wewavelikwi nawu mukumbudila Chapanga.
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision not performed by hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision which is of Christ:
12 Muni pemwabatizwi mwazikiwi pamonga na Kilisitu na mukubatiziwa kwenuko mweayukiswi kwa kusadika makakala ga Chapanga gegamuyukisi Kilisitu.
being buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are raised together with Him, through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.
13 Lukumbi lumonga mwavili ngati vandu mwemwafwili ndava ya kumbudila Chapanga, na kubela kudumuliwa jandu muhiga zinu, ndava ya mnogo winu uhakau wemwavelekiwi nawu wavili wakona kuwusiwa. Nambu hinu Chapanga avapelili nyenye wumi pamonga na Kilisitu. Chapanga atilekekekisi kumbudila chapanga kwoha.
And when ye were dead in trespasses, and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
14 Awusili kutali balua yeyayandiki uhakau witu. Hati yeniyo ya malagizu gaki ndi Chapanga ngalihengili mukutihamula ndi ayiwusili chakaka kwa kuyigongomela pamsalaba.
and cancelled the obligation we were under by ritual decrees, which was grievous to us, and hath taken it quite away, even nailing it to his cross.
15 Penapo pamsalaba Kilisitu avanyagili makakala gavi mizuka yeyitalalila na vakulu, avakitili kuvya chindu cha kuvapela soni palongolo ya vandu kuvalundusa ngati vandu vevakamuliwi kungondo kulangisa avahotwili.
And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made them an open spectacle, triumphing over them by it.
16 Hinu ndi, mkoto kuyidakila kupewa malagizu na mundu yoyoha kuvala vyakulya na mnyweso, ligono la mselebuko, amala kukamulila mvelu wa ligono la mselebuko, kuvandama kwa mwehi amala Ligono la Kupumulila.
Let no one therefore judge you on account of meat, or drink, or in respect of a feast, or a new-moon, or sabbaths;
17 Mambu ngati ago ndi chimuwili cha gala gegibwela, uchakaka wene wa mambu goha ndi Kilisitu.
which are a shadow of good things to come, but the body is of Christ.
18 Mkoto kuyidakila kuhamuliwa na mundu yoyoha mwakujikita kuvya wabwina kwa gala geakugawona na kugahololela ngamwene na kukangamala ungolongondi wa udese na kumuyupa mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Mundu mwenuyo muyimu ndava ya mahalo gaki gegakumkonga gegihuma kwa vandu,
Let no one deprive you of your reward by an affected humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into what he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his carnal mind;
19 na alekili kujiwunga na Kilisitu mweavili mutu wa higa yeniyo. Kupitila Kilisitu higa yoha yisopewa makakala na yikamulini pamonga kwa viiwungu vyaki na misekete yaki, na vyene vikula ngati cheigana Chapanga.
and not adhering to the head, from which all the body, being supplied and held together as by joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Nyenye mfwili pamonga na Kilisitu na kugombolewa mumakakala ga mizuka yeyilongosa mulima. Ndava kyani mwakona mwitama ngati vandu va mulima uwu? Ndava kyani myidakila malagizu ngati aga?
If therefore ye be dead with Christ from the elements of the world; why, as if living in the world, are ye subject to ceremonial ordinances,
21 “Mkoto kukamula ichi,” “Mkoto kumihyanga chila,” “Mkoto kupamisa chila!”
(such as "touch not, taste not,
22 Mambu genago goha ndi ndava ya vindu vyavihalabika pevitumika ndu, genago ndi malagizu na mawuliwu ga vandu ndu.
handle not," which all tend to corruption in the using, ) according to the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Chakaka, malagizu genago gilolekana kuvya ngati yina luhala munjila ya kumuyupa Chapanga yemukujikitila mwavene. Kukangamalisa ungolongondi na kuyilongosa higa kwa ukali, nambu yangali mana mukubesa mnogo wa higa.
which things indeed have a pretence to wisdom in voluntary worship, and humiliation, and bodily penance, as having no regard to the satisfying of the flesh.
