Qolosaayis 2
1 Akka ani isiniif, warra Lodooqiyaa jiranii fi warra fooniin fuula koo hin argin hundaafis jedhee hammam carraaqaa jiru isin akka beektan nan barbaada.
For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have in behalf of you, and those in Laodicea, and so many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 Kunis akka isaan jaalalaan tokko taʼanii garaan isaanii jajjabeeffamuuf, akka isaan badhaadhummaa hubannaa guutuu qabaatanii icciitii Waaqaa jechuunis Kiristoosin beekaniif;
in order that their hearts may be comforted, being knitted together in divine love, and in all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the perfect knowledge of the mystery of God, of Christ,
3 badhaadhummaan ogummaa fi beekumsaa hundinuus isuma keessa dhokfameera.
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Anis akka namni tokko iyyuu afaan tolee isin hin gowwoomsineef waan kana isinittin hima.
I say this in order that no one may deceive you with a persuasive speech.
5 Ani yoon fooniin isin irraa fagaadhe illee hafuuraan isin wajjin waanan jiruuf, isin hammam naamusa qabeeyyii akka taatanii fi amantiin isin Kiristoositti qabdanis hammam cimaa akka taʼe arguu kootiif nan gammada.
For if I am absent in the flesh, but I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the establishment of your faith toward Christ.
6 Yoos akkuma Kiristoos Yesuus Goofticha fudhattanitti isatti jiraadhaa;
Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk about in him,
7 akkuma barattan sanatti hidda keessan isa keessatti gad fageeffadhaatii isa irratti ijaaramaa; amantiittis jabaadhaa; galata guutee dhangalaʼus dhiʼeessaa.
having been rooted and grounded in him, and confirmed in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
8 Eenyu iyyuu barsiisa waaʼee Kiristoos irratti hundeeffameen utuu hin taʼin falaasama faayidaa hin qabnee fi gowwoomsaa, kan bartee namaatii fi qajeelfama addunyaa kanaa irratti hundeeffameen akka isin hin boojine of eeggadhaa.
See that no one shall be deceiving you through philosophy and empty delusion, according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ,
9 Guutummaan Waaqummaa hundinuu fooniin Kiristoos keessa jiraataatii;
because in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,
10 isinis Kiristoos isa humnaa fi taayitaa hunda irratti mataa taʼe sanaan guutamtaniirtu.
and you are complete in him, who is the head of all government and authority:
11 Isumaanis foon cubbamaa taʼe sana of irraa gattanii dhagna qabattaniirtu; dhagna qabaan kunis dhagna qabaa harka namaatiin taʼe utuu hin taʼin kan Kiristoosiin taʼee dha;
in whom you are also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of depravity, in the circumcision of Christ;
12 isinis cuuphaadhaan isa wajjin awwaalamtanii humna Waaqaa kan Kiristoosin warra duʼan keessaa isa kaasetti amanuu keessaniin cuuphaadhuma sanaan isa wajjin kaafamtaniirtu.
having been buried with him in baptism, in which you are also raised by the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead:
13 Yeroo isin cubbuu keessanii fi foon keessan kan dhagna hin qabamin sanaan duutanii turtanitti Waaqni Kiristoos wajjin jiraattota isin taasise. Cubbuu keenya hundas nuu dhiise;
and you, being dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your depravity, has he created life in you along with himself, having forgiven us all transgressions,
14 innis himata idaa keenya kan seeraa kan nuun mormuu fi nutti muru sana haqee mismaaraan fannootti diree dhabamsiise.
having blotted out the handwriting which was against us in ordinances, which was antagonistical to us: and took it out from the midst, having nailed it to the cross;
15 Innis humnootaa fi taayitaawwan fannoodhaan moʼate hidhannoo hiikkachiisuudhaan ifa baasee uummatatti isaan argisiise.
having destroyed governments and authorities, he made a public exhibition of them triumphing over them on it.
16 Kanaafuu eenyu iyyuu waan nyaattanii fi waan dhugdaniin yookaan waaʼee ayyaanaatiin yookaan waaʼee Baatii Haaraatiin yookaan waaʼee Sanbataatiin isinitti hin murin.
Therefore let no one judge you in meat, or in drink, or in the participation of a feast, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath:
17 Isaan kunneen gaaddidduu waan dhufuuf jiruu ti; dhugaan isaa garuu Kiristoos keessa jira.
which things are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Namni sobee gad of qabuu fi ergamoota waaqeffachuu jaallatu kam iyyuu badhaasa isin hin dhabsiisin. Namni akkasii waan arge hunda baayʼisee odeessa; sababii malee yaada foon isaatiin of tuula.
Let no one purposely rob you of your prize by humiliation and worship of the angels, trusting in those things which he has seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his depravity,
19 Innis mataa isa dhagni guutuun ittiin soorame, hiddaa fi ribuu isaatiinis walitti hidhamee guddina Waaqni kennuufiin guddatu sana irraa citeera.
and not holding the Head, from which the entire body, by joints and ligaments being supplied and knitted together, increases the increase of God.
20 Isin erga Kiristoos wajjin qajeelfama hundee kan addunyaa kanaatiif duutanii maaliif akka waan amma iyyuu kan addunyaa taataniitti sirna isaatiif bultu ree?
If along with Christ you are dead from the elements of the world, why are you dogmatized as living in the world,
21 Innis, “Harkaan hin qabatin! Hin dhandhamin! Hin tuqin!” jedha.
Touch not, taste not, handle not,
22 Isaanis waan ajajaa fi barsiisa namaa irratti hundeeffamaniif yeroo hojii irra oolanitti baduuf murteeffamaniiru.
those things which are all unto destruction by use according to the commandments and teachings of the people?
23 Sirni kunis dhugumaan of dirqisiisuun waaqeffachuu isaanii, gad of qabuu sobaatii fi foon isaanii miidhuu isaaniitiin bifa ogummaa qaba; hawwii foonii dhowwuuf garuu faayidaa tokko illee hin qabu.
Which indeed are having a word of wisdom in will worship, and humiliation, and austerity of the body; not in any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
