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 wish you to know how great a struggle I sustain for you, and those at Laodicea, and 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, firmly united together in love, and unto all riches of full assurance of understanding, in the knowledge of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 mwa mwene vutile vwoni vwa vukoola nu luhala sifisilue.
in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 nijova ndiki neke kuuti umuunhu ghweni nangavavombelaghe igila ku njovele inya vusyangi.
Now this I say, lest any man pervert you with specious discourse.
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 from you in person, yet I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing and beholding your regular order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 ndavule mulyamupile uKilisite Mutwa, mughendaghe mwa mwene.
As therefore ye have 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 on him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with 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.
Beware that no man make a prey of you by means of philosophy and vain delusion, after the tradition of men, after the principles of the world, and not after Christ:
9 ulwakuva mwa mwene uvunywilifu vwoni uvwa Nguluve vukukala mumbili.
for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;
10 umue mumemesevue mwa mwene. umwene ghwe mutu ghwa vuwesia vwoni nu vutavulua.
and ye are complete in him, 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 whom also ye have been circumcised with the circumcision not made with hands, by the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, through 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.
buried with him in baptism, in which also ye have been raised up together with him by faith, the energy 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.
And you, who were dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him, freely forgiving you all trespasses;
14 akafutile ikumbukumbu isa kudajivua sino sikalembilue, nu vutavike vuno natukanoghiile kuva navyo.
and hath blotted out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was the obstacle to us, and took it from the midst, nailing it to the cross;
15 akavusisie ghoni na kupaghika pakikovekano. akavusisie ingufu nu vutavulua. akaghavika pavuvalafu na kukughahovokela ku vusindi vwimila kikovekano kyake.
spoiling principalities and powers, he exposed them to view openly, triumphing over them on 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 man therefore judge you concerning what you eat, or what you drink, or the observance of a feast, or new moon, or the sabbaths;
17 ifi fye fin'sulua fya ghano ghikwisa, neke ikikome ghwe Kilisite.
which are merely shadows of 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 man juggle you out of your prize, voluntary in his humility and the worship of angels, intruding into things which he never saw, vainly puffed up by his carnal imagination;
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 firmly attached to the head, from which the whole body, by joints and ligaments, harmoniously adjusted and closely compacted, increaseth with increase from God.
20 ulwakuva mlyafwile palikimo nu Kilisite mu maghendele gha iisi, ongo mukukala hwene mukujivombela iisi:
If then ye have been dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye dogmatically taught,
21 namungakolaghe nambe kuvonja,
eat not, nor talk, nor touch,
22 agha ghooni ghalaghilue vwimila uvunangifu vuno vukwisa na kutumila, kuhangilanila ni mbulanisio sa vaanhu.
(all which things tend to corruption by abuse) according to the injunctions 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.
Which things indeed hold forth an appearance of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and bodily mortification, though not of any value, but a gratification to the flesh.
