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
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 Ntenda hangu su watulwi moyu na waweri umu mumafiliru, su wamemiziwi kuvimana unakaka, wapati kuvimana bada ya Mlungu, bada ayi ndo Kristu mweni.
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 Mngati mwa Kristu zilififa hanja zoseri zya luhala na mahala.
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
4 Nuwagambirani hangu su namjimira kupayirwa na muntu yoseri kwa visoweru vya mpayu handa viwoneka vya kukwegiziya nentu.
Now I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive words.
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 am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Messiah.
6 Vinu handa ntambu yamumjimiriti Kristu Yesu yakawera Mtuwa, mwendereyi kulikala kwa kulikolerana pamuhera nayomberi.
As therefore you received Messiah Yeshua, 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 were 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.
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 Toziya mngati mwakuwi Kristu, muuntu wakuwi, ulumngu woseri ulikala kwa kukamilika,
For in him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
10 mwenga wawapanana ukomu woseri mukulikolerana pamuhera nayomberi. Yomberi kakumpindi kwa washamshera woseri yawakolamlima na wakulu woseri.
and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality 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.
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 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, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the 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,
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 pakamaliriti kuwusiya vilii vya kutulunda twenga na malagaliru ga kututatira, kaviwusiya nakamu kwa kuvikong'ondelera palupingika.
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 Mulipingika alu Kristu kawapokiti makakala gawu washamshera walii wakolamlima na wakulu, kawasoniziyiti palongolu pa wantu kuwakwega gambira walopolwa mumwanja gwa ukanga wakuwi.
having disarmed the rulers and authorities, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in 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.
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 Vitwatila avi ndo shiviyiru hera sha galii gagiza, unakaka weni ndo Kristu.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah's.
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 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 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 to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth.
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?
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 “Namkola ashi,” “Namlawalira shilii,” “Namshinkula shilii!”
"Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch"
22 Vitwatila avi vyoseri vibogoyoka palii pavitumika, aga malagaliru na mafundu ga wantu hera.
(all of which perish with use), according to human commandments and teachings?
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 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.
