Vakolosai 2
1 ulwakuva ninoghua kuuti mukagule ndavule nilyale ni mhumhuko nyinga vwimila jiinu, ku vooni vano vali ku Laodikia na kuvoni vano navaghaghile amaaso ghango mu lwa m'bili.
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 nivomba imbombo iji kuuti inumbula saave siwesie kuhuvisivua..... kukwisa palikimo ku lughano na mu vutajili.... vwoni vwa vwinga nu vukyang'haani vwa luhala, kwa kukagula ulufiso lwa lweli ulwa Nguluve, juno ghwe Kilisite.
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, both of the Father and of Christ,
3 mwa mwene vutile vwoni vwa vukoola nu luhala sifisilue.
in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4 nijova ndiki neke kuuti umuunhu ghweni nangavavombelaghe igila ku njovele inya vusyangi.
Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
5 nambe kuuti nanili palikimo numue ku m'bili, looli nili numue ku numbula. nihovoka kuvona uvutavike vwinu vunono ni ngufu sa lwinu mwa Kilisite.
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 ndavule mulyamupile uKilisite Mutwa, mughendaghe mwa mwene.
As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
7 mukangasivue mwa mwene, mujengwe mwa mwene, mukangasivue mu lwitiko ndavule mulyavulanisivue na kupinyua muluhongesio lwinga.
rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
8 mulolaghe kuuti umuunhu ghweni nangavakolaghe mu masio ghano ghasila kimonga aghavusyangi kuling'haana na vaanhu fino vikwupila nu vutaviike vwa iisi, kisila kuling'haana nu Kilisite.
Be careful that you do not let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after Christ.
9 ulwakuva mwa mwene uvunywilifu vwoni uvwa Nguluve vukukala mumbili.
For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
10 umue mumemesevue mwa mwene. umwene ghwe mutu ghwa vuwesia vwoni nu vutavulua.
and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
11 mwa mwene kange mulyakekilue ku tohala jino najikavombike nu muunhu kuvusisivua um'bili ghwa danda. neke je tohala ja Kilisite.
In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ,
12 mukasyililue palikimo nu nu mwene mu lwofugho. na kusila ja lwitiko mukasyilulivue ku ngufu sa Nguluve juno akansyuluile kuhuma kuvafue.
having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 na pano mulyafwile mu vuhosi vwinu kisila kukekua amaviili ghinu, akavavombile kuva vwumi palikimo nu mwene na kutusaghila uvuhosi vwitu vwoni.
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 akafutile ikumbukumbu isa kudajivua sino sikalembilue, nu vutavike vuno natukanoghiile kuva navyo.
wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
15 akavusisie ghoni na kupaghika pakikovekano. akavusisie ingufu nu vutavulua. akaghavika pavuvalafu na kukughahovokela ku vusindi vwimila kikovekano kyake.
Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 pe lino u muunhu ghweni nangavahighaghe umue kwa kulia nambe kunyua, nambe mu kighono kya kuhovokela nambe umwesi umpya, nambe ikighono kya Sabati.
Let no one therefore judge you in eating or drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
17 ifi fye fin'sulua fya ghano ghikwisa, neke ikikome ghwe Kilisite.
which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
18 umuunhu ghweni nangapokuaghe ingigha jaake kwa kunoghelua uvukoola na kukufunya avanya Mhola. Umuunhu ughwa ndikio aikwingila mu sino asaghile ka na kusyangua na masaghe ghake agha m'bili.
Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 umwene naikolelela umutu. kuhuma ku mutu kuuti um'bili ghwoni kukilila ifilungo fyake na mafupa kulunganisivua palikimo; na kukula muvukulilo vwa Nguluve.
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 ulwakuva mlyafwile palikimo nu Kilisite mu maghendele gha iisi, ongo mukukala hwene mukujivombela iisi:
If you died with Christ from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21 namungakolaghe nambe kuvonja,
“Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”
22 agha ghooni ghalaghilue vwimila uvunangifu vuno vukwisa na kutumila, kuhangilanila ni mbulanisio sa vaanhu.
(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
23 indaghilo isi sili nu vukola vwa nyifunyilo sino sitendilue ku vunoghelua vwave na nakunyenyekela mu mhumhuko sa m'bili. neke sisila lutalama mu noghelua sa m'bili.
These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body, but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
