Kološanom 2
1 Hočem namreč, da veste, kako hud boj imam zaradi vas, in njih, ki so v Laodiceji, in vse, kateri niso videli obličja mojegu v mesu,
For I would that ye 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 se potolažijo njih srca, združenih v ljubezni, in za vso bogastvo polnosti razuma, za spoznanje skrivnosti Boga in očeta in Kristusa,
That their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 V katerem so vsi zakladi modrosti in spoznanja skriti.
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 To pa pravim, da vas kdo ne prevara sè sladko besedo;
And this I say, lest any man should deceive you with enticing words.
5 Kajti če sem tudi po mesu daleč, v duhu sem vendar z vami, radujoč se in gledajoč vašo rednost in trdnost vere vaše v Kristusa.
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Kakor ste torej prejeli Kristusa Jezusa Gospoda, živite v njem;
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him:
7 Ukoreninjeni in sezidani v njem in utrjeni v veri, kakor ste se učili, rastoč v njej v zahvaljevanji.
Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Glejte, da vas kdo ne zapleni z modrijanstvom in prazno prevaro, po izročilu človeškem, po prvinah sveta in ne po Kristusu;
Beware lest any man make a prey of you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 Ker v njem biva vsa polnost božanstva telesno,
For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
10 In v njem ste napolnjeni, kateri je glava vsakega gospostva in oblasti;
And ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power:
11 V katerem ste bili tudi obrezani z obrezo ne storjeno z rokami, ko ste slekli telo mesnih grehov v obrezi Kristusovi;
In whom also ye 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 Vred pokopani z njim v krstu, v katerem ste bili tudi vred zbujeni po veri kreposti Boga, kateri ga je zbudil izmed mrtvih.
Buried with him in baptism, in which also ye are raised with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 In vas, ki ste bili mrtvi v grehih in neobrezi mesa svojega, oživil je z njim vred, odpustivši vam vse grehe;
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Izbrisavši rokopis, zoper nas, po postavah, ki je bil nam nasproten, in tega je odpravil, pribivši ga sè žeblji na križ;
Blotting out the hand-writing of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 Ter slekel je poglavarstva in oblasti, in postavil očitno na ogled slavno zmagavši jih v njem.
[And] having despoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Naj vas torej ne sodi kdo v jedi ali pijači, ali gledé praznika ali mlaja ali sobote,
Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a holy-day, or or the new-moon, or of the sabbaths:
17 Kar je prihodnjega senca, telo pa Kristusovo.
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
18 Nihče naj vas ne prekani hoteč v ponižnosti in čaščenji angelov, ko se peča s tem, česar ni videl, ker ga za nič napihuje mesno čustvo njegovo,
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 In ker se ne drži glave, iz česar vse telo po členovji in vezéh podpirano in zvezano raste v rasti Božji.
And not holding the head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Če ste torej umrli s Kristusom prvinam sveta, kaj se vam, kakor da bi v svetu živeli, dajó postave:
Wherefore, if ye are dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 ("Ne dotakni se, in ne pokusi, in ne potipaj!"
(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Kar je vse v pogubo po zlorabi), poleg zapovedi in ukov človeških,
Which all are to perish with the using; ) according to the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Kar je sicer na videz modrost v samovoljni službi Božji in ponižnosti in neprizanesljivosti proti telesu, v nobenem čislu za napolnjenje mesa."
Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh.
