Wakolosayi 2
1 Nfira muvimani ntambu yantenda lihengu kwa ugangamala toziya ya mwenga, na kwa toziya ya wantu wa Laudikiya na kwa toziya ya woseri haweniliwoni naneni
Wherefore, I wish you to know how great a combat I have for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 Ntenda hangu su watulwi moyu na waweri umu mumafiliru, su wamemiziwi kuvimana unakaka, wapati kuvimana bada ya Mlungu, bada ayi ndo Kristu mweni.
that being compacted together in love, their hearts may be comforted, even by all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the secret of God,
3 Mngati mwa Kristu zilififa hanja zoseri zya luhala na mahala.
in whom are laid up all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 Nuwagambirani hangu su namjimira kupayirwa na muntu yoseri kwa visoweru vya mpayu handa viwoneka vya kukwegiziya nentu.
Now this I say, that no one may deceive you with plausible speech.
5 Tembera neni nakutali na mwenga, kumbiti moyu gwangu gwa pamuhera na mwenga na nankunemelera kuwawona mwenga yamugangamala munjimiru yenu mu Kristu.
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Vinu handa ntambu yamumjimiriti Kristu Yesu yakawera Mtuwa, mwendereyi kulikala kwa kulikolerana pamuhera nayomberi.
Now as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him;
7 Muweri na mishigira mngati mwa Kristu, na mulinyawi pampindi pakuwi na kuwera wagangamala munjimiru ntambu yamfunditwi. Namwenga mlongi mayagashii.
rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Mloli muntu nakawatenda wamanda na mafundu gakuwi hera ga upyota, wagatumbira mayangiru gakuwi ga vitiba vya wantu, ga Kristu ndiri kumbiti ga washamshera wakolamlima, kuliku galii galawa kwa Kristu.
Beware lest any one make a prey of you through an empty and deceitful philosophy, --according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 Toziya mngati mwakuwi Kristu, muuntu wakuwi, ulumngu woseri ulikala kwa kukamilika,
For all the fullness of the Deity resides substantially in him.
10 mwenga wawapanana ukomu woseri mukulikolerana pamuhera nayomberi. Yomberi kakumpindi kwa washamshera woseri yawakolamlima na wakulu woseri.
And you are complete in him, who is the head of all government and power.
11 Mukulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu mwenga mwingiziwitwi jandu, kwa kuivula nshimba ya vidoda. Mtenditi hangu kwa jandu ndiri yaitendwa na wantu, kumbiti yaitendwa na Kristu mweni kulawa muuntu wa vidoda.
By whom, also, you have been circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ;
12 Toziya pambatizwiti, msilitwi pamuhera na Kristu, na muubatizu mwenga viraa mzyukusiwitwi pamuhera nayomberi kupitira njimiru mumakakala ga Mlungu, kamzyusiyiti Kristu kulawa kwa yawahowiti.
having been buried with him in immersion, by which also you have been raised with him, through the belief of the strong working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 Namwenga mhowiti kwa ajili ya vidoda vyenu, toziya mweriti mmumana ndiri Mlungu. Kumbiti vinu Mlungu kawapanana mwenga ukomu pamuhera na Kristu. Mlungu katulekiziya vidoda vyetu vyoseri,
For you, who were dead on account of trespasses, and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he had made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses: --
14 pakamaliriti kuwusiya vilii vya kutulunda twenga na malagaliru ga kututatira, kaviwusiya nakamu kwa kuvikong'ondelera palupingika.
having blotted out the handwriting of the ordinances concerning us, which was contrary to us, he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross: --
15 Mulipingika alu Kristu kawapokiti makakala gawu washamshera walii wakolamlima na wakulu, kawasoniziyiti palongolu pa wantu kuwakwega gambira walopolwa mumwanja gwa ukanga wakuwi.
having spoiled governments and powers, he made a show of them openly, having triumphed over them by it.
16 Vinu namumleka muntu yoseri kawatuliri malagaliru toziya viboga ama vyakulanda ama mashaka ga msambu ama msambu gwa mwezi gwa syayi ama lishaka lya Kwoyera.
Let no one, therefore, judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a festival, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths;
17 Vitwatila avi ndo shiviyiru hera sha galii gagiza, unakaka weni ndo Kristu.
which are a shadow of the things which were to come, but the substance is of Christ.
18 Namjimila kulundwa na muntu yoseri yakalitenda kuwera gwa mana toziya ya maonu ga gweka na yakahimiziya unanagala wa mpayu na kuwaguwira kwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi, Muntu handa ayu kalitumba hera kwa mahala gakuwi ga nshimba.
Let no one beguile you of your reward, --delighting in humility, and the worship of messengers, intruding into things which he has not seen, being without cause, puffed up by his own carnal mind:
19 Kaleka kuwera pamuhera na Kristu, yakawera mtuwi gwa nshimba ayi. Kwa ulongoziya wa Kristu, nshimba yoseri ilikola na kuwera pamuhera na viungiru na mishipa yakuwi, naikula ntambu yakafiriti Mlungu.
and not holding firmly the head, by whom the whole body, through the joints and ligaments, being served and compacted, increases with the increase of God.
20 Mwenga muhowa pamuhera na Kristu na kulopuziwa kulawa mumakakala mwa washamshera wakolamlima wa pasipanu. Vinu kwa shishi mulikala gambira wantu wa pasipanu? Kwa shishi mkola malagaliru gambira aga?
Now, if you have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as living in the world, you are subject to ordinances,
21 “Namkola ashi,” “Namlawalira shilii,” “Namshinkula shilii!”
Touch not, taste not, handle not;
22 Vitwatila avi vyoseri vibogoyoka palii pavitumika, aga malagaliru na mafundu ga wantu hera.
(which are all to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men;
23 Nakaka malagaliru aga gawonekana ga luhala mukuguwira kwawalitendiriti weni na muunanagala na kuyitendera nshimba kwa kukalipa, kumbiti gahera makakala ga kulewelera lumata lwa nshimba.
which things have, indeed, a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and not sparing the body--without any respect to the gratification of the flesh.
