Kološanom 2
1 Kajti hočem, da bi vedeli, kako velik boj imam za vas in za te iz Laodikeje in za mnoge, četudi niso videli mojega obraza v mesu,
For I would that all of you knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 da bodo njihova srca lahko potolažena, stkana skupaj v ljubezni in v vseh bogastvih polnega zagotovila razumevanja, k spoznanju Božje skrivnosti in Očetove in Kristusove;
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in (agape) love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 v katerem so skriti vsi zakladi modrosti in spoznanja.
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 In to pravim, da vas ne bi katerikoli človek preslepil s prepričevalnimi besedami.
And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5 Kajti čeprav sem odsoten v mesu, sem vendar z vami v duhu in se veselim ter zrem vašo urejenost in neomajnost vaše vere v Kristusa.
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the (pneuma) spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Tako kakor ste torej sprejeli Gospoda Kristusa Jezusa, tako živite v njem.
As all of you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk all of you in him:
7 Ukoreninjeni in zgrajeni v njem ter potrjeni v veri, kakor ste bili poučeni in v tem obilni z zahvaljevanjem.
Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as all of you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Pazite, da vas ne bi katerikoli človek oplenil s filozofijo in prazno prevaro po človeškem izročilu, po temeljnih principih sveta, ne pa po Kristusu.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 Kajti v njem telesno prebiva vsa polnost Božanstva.
For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
10 In vi ste popolni v njem, ki je glava vseh kneževin in oblasti;
And all of you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 v katerem ste tudi obrezani z obrezo, narejeno brez rok, s slačenjem grešnega mesenega telesa, s Kristusovo obrezo;
In whom also all of you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 s krstom pokopani z njim, v katerem ste tudi vi z njim vstali, po veri Božjega delovanja, ki ga je obudil od mrtvih.
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also all of you are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who has raised him from the dead.
13 In vas, mrtve v vaših grehih in neobrezanosti vašega mesa, je on oživil skupaj z njim ter vam odpustil vse grehe
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, has he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 in izbrisal rokopis odredb, ki so bile zoper nas, ki nam je bil nasproten in ga odstranil s poti ter ga pribil na svoj križ;
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 in ker imamo pokvarjene kneževine in oblasti, je naredil iz njih javni prikaz, slaveč v tem zmago nad njimi.
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Ne pustite torej nobenemu človeku, da vas sodi v jedi ali v pijači ali pri spoštovanju svetega dne ali mlaja ali šabatnih dni;
Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 ki so senca stvari, ki pridejo; toda telo je Kristusovo.
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Ne pustite nobenemu človeku, da vas preslepi glede vaše nagrade, [tako da je] prostovoljno ponižen in obožuje angele in se vsiljuje v te stvari, ki jih ni videl, prazno napihnjen s svojim mesenim umom,
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 ne drži pa se Glave, od katere ima vse telo po sklepih in vezeh nudeno hrano in stkano skupaj raste z rastjo od Boga.
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God.
20 Zatorej, če ste s Kristusom mrtvi temeljnim principom sveta, zakaj ste podrejeni odredbam, kakor da živite v svetu
Wherefore if all of you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are all of you subject to ordinances,
21 (ne dotikaj, ne okušaj, ne prijemaj,
(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 ki bodo z uporabo vsi odmrli) po človeških zapovedih in naukih?
Which all are to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Katere stvari imajo resnično navidezen prikaz modrosti v pobožnem oboževanju in ponižnosti in zapostavljanju telesa; v zadovoljevanje mesa, ne pa v kakršnokoli vrednost.
Which things have indeed a (logos) show of wisdom religious outlook, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
