¹For 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;

¹Noumau leh Leodisia khuaa omte leh, saa ka mel mu lou peuhmahte adingin bangchibanga thupiin ahia nou adia ka kisuk na theih uh ka ut ngala;

²That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in 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;

²Pathian thuguk a theihtheih ua, theihsiamna theihchetna kim hauhna tengteng lama, phan khawma a om ua, a lungtangte uh lungmuanga a om theihna dingin;

³In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

³Pilna leh theihna gou tengteng tuh amah Krisa selguka om ahi.

⁴And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

⁴Kuamahin paukamsiama a honkhem louhna ding un, huaite ka gen ahi.

⁵For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

⁵Sain na kiang uah omta kei leng zong, kipak taka omin, na kizen dan uleh Kris na gin kipdan uh enin, khain na kiang uah ka om ngala.

⁶As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

⁶Huaijiakin Kris Jesu, Toupa tuh na kipahpih bang un, amah ah om un.

⁷Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

⁷Amaha zungkai leh lamtouha omin, a honzilsak bang un na ginna ua kiptaka omin, kipahthugenna hauin, amah ah om un.

⁸Beware 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.

⁸Pilvang un, huchilouin jaw kuapeuhin Kris thu bang hi louin, mihing thugousiah leh khovel thubulte bang jawin a thupil uh leh khemna peuhin gallakin a honla kha ding uhi.

⁹For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

⁹Amah ah Pathianna tangchinna chiteng tuh pumpi neiin a om gige ngala.

¹⁰And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

¹⁰Amah ah tuh hinna tangchinna na neita ngal ua; amah tuh vaihawmna leh thuneihna tengteng lutang ahi.

¹¹In 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:

¹¹Kris zeksumna ah sa pumpi suah vekin amah mah ah khuta zeksum hi lou, zeksum na hi ua;

¹²Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

¹²Baptismaa amah toh vui na hita ngal ua, huaimahah misi laka kipana Pathian nasep gintak jiakin amah toh kaihthoh na hi uhi.

¹³And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

¹³Huan, noute na tatleknate a leh na sa uh zeksum louhnaa si na hi ua, noumau ngei tuh amah toh a honhing sak ahi;

¹⁴Blotting 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;

¹⁴I tatlekna tengteng hongaidama, batna lai thupiaka gelh i tung ua om eimah hondou gige tuh a thaimangta ngala; huai ngei tuh krosa kilhlumin a la kheta hi.

¹⁵And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

¹⁵Huan, lalna leh thuneihnate suankhiain, huai krosah huaite tuh zouin a langtangin theihsaknan a zangta hi.

¹⁶Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

¹⁶Huchiin, nek thu ah hiam, dawn thu ah hiam, ankuanglui thu ah hiam, kha thak thu ah hiam, khawlni thu ah hiam, kuamahin hondem kei uhen;

¹⁷Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

¹⁷Huaite tuh thil hongtung ding lim ahi a, a tak tuh Kris-a ahi.

¹⁸Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

¹⁸Kuamahin amau deihthu lela thunuailutna leh angel biakna zangin, na kipahman uh honsuh sak kei uhen, a thil muhte uh pansanin, a sa lam lungsim jiak ua kisathei mawk mawkin,

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹Lutang tuh len chinten louin a om uhi. Amah akipanin pumpi tuh a pumin a guhtuah leh thaguite a vak leh zop khawma omin, Pathian apan khanletnain a khang lian jel hi.

²⁰Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

²⁰Khovel thubulte tuh Kris kianga na nasihsan sam uleh, bang achia khovela nungta lailai banga thupiakte laka na nakipelut na hi ua?

²¹(Touch not; taste not; handle not;

²¹Mihingte thuchiam leh zilsakna, Lawng ken, Chiam ken.

²²Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

²²Khoih ken, chihte huchi bang thil tengteng tuh zat kawma mangthang ding ahi.Huchibang thil tuh, ut banga biak leh, thunuailut leh, pumpi engbawl ah jaw hihtuak hileh a kilawm naa, himahleh sa deihlam zuih khamna lamah tuh bangmah himhim a phatuam kei hi.

²³Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

²³Huchibang thil tuh, ut banga biak leh, thunuailut leh, pumpi engbawl ah jaw hihtuak hileh a kilawm naa, himahleh sa deihlam zuih khamna lamah tuh bangmah himhim a phatuam kei hi.
