1For I would have you know what combat I have for you, and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh;
1[Fananaran'i Paoly ny Kolosiana mba haharitra tsara tsy ho voafitaky ny mpampianatra sandoka] Fa tiako ho fantatrareo ny hamafin'ny fiezahako ho anareo sy izay any Laodikia mbamin'izay rehetra tsy mbola nahita ny tavako amin'ny nofo,
2to the end that their hearts may be encouraged, being united together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to [the] full knowledge of the mystery of God;
2mba hampifalina ny fony amin'ny ampiraisana azy amin'ny fitiavana sy ho amin'ny haren'ny fahatokiana be avy amin'ny fahazavan-tsaina, ho amin'ny fahalalana tsara ny zava-miafina izay an'Andriamanitra, dia Kristy,
3in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
3Izay iafenan'ny rakitry ny fahendrena sy ny fahalalana rehetra.
4And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.
4Ary izany no lazaiko, fandrao hisy hampahadiso hevitra anareo amin'ny teny toa marina.
5For if indeed in the flesh I am absent, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
5Fa na dia tsy manatrika anareo amin'ny nofo aza aho, dia manatrika anareo ihany amin'ny fanahy ka mifaly sy mijery ny filaminanareo sy ny tsi-fiovan'ny finoanareo an'i Kristy.
6As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
6Koa tahaka ny nandraisanareo an'i Kristy Jesosy Tompo, dia mandehana ao aminy araka izany koa,
7rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
7ka mamaka tsara sy miorina mafy ao aminy ary tafatoetra amin'ny finoana, toy ny efa nampianarana anareo, ka mazoto amin'ny fisaorana. [ Na: (mitombo amin'izany)]
8See that there be no one who shall lead *you* away as a prey through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the teaching of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
8Tandremo fandrao misy mahalasa anareo ho babony amin'ny filosofia sy ny famitahana foana, araka ny fampianarana voatolotry ny razana, araka ny abidim-pianaran'izao tontolo izao, fa tsy araka an'i Kristy.
9For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;
9Fa ao amin'ny tenany no itoeran'ny fahafenoan'ny fomban'Andriamanitra rehetra;
10and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,
10ary ianareo dia tanteraka ao aminy, sady Izy no Lohan'ny fanapahana sy ny fahefana rehetra,
11in whom also ye have been circumcised with circumcision not done by hand, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ;
11ary tao aminy koa no namorana anareo tamin'ny famorana tsy nataon-tanana, tamin'ny fanesorana ny tenan'ny nofo, dia tamin'ny famoran'i Kristy;
12buried with him in baptism, in which ye have been also raised with [him] through faith of the working of God who raised him from among the dead.
12fa niara-nilevina taminy ianareo tamin'ny batisa, izay niarahanareo natsangana taminy koa noho ny finoana ny asan'Andriamanitra, izay nanangana Azy tamin'ny maty.
13And you, being dead in offences and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has quickened together with him, having forgiven us all the offences;
13Ary ianareo, izay efa matin'ny fahadisoana sy ny tsi-fiforan'ny nofonareo, dia novelominy niaraka tamin'i Kristy, rehefa navelany ny fahadisoantsika rehetra;
14having effaced the handwriting in ordinances which [stood out] against us, which was contrary to us, he has taken it also out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;
14ary novonoiny ny sora-tànan'ny didy izay niampanga antsika; dia nesoriny tsy ho eo mihitsy izany ka nohomboany tamin'ny hazo fijaliana,
15having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.
15ary nesoriny tsy ho eo amin'ny tenany ny fanapahana sy ny fahefana, ary noho ny hazo fijaliana dia nasehony miharihary ny fitondrany ireo toy ny fanaon'izay avy nandresy. [ Na: noreseny ka nobaboiny]
16Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,
16Koa aza avela hisy hitsara anareo ny amin'ny fihinana, na ny fisotro, na ny andro firavoravoana, na ny voaloham-bolana, na ny Sabata;
17which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
17aloky ny zavatra ho avy ireny, fa ny tenany dia an'i Kristy.
18Let no one fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humility and worship of angels, entering into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,
18Aza mety hofitahina tsy hahazoanareo ny loka noho ny fanetren-tena haitraitra sy ny fivavahana amin'ny anjely, ka mitompo amin'ny zavatra efa hitany sady feno fiavonavonana noho ny fisainan'ny nofony [ Na: (tsy)]
19and not holding fast the head, from whom all the body, ministered to and united together by the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.
19ka tsy mihazona ny Loha; Izy no itomboan'ny tena rehetra, izay velomina sy ampiraisina tsara amin'ny famavany sy ny hozatra, araka ny fampitomboan'Andriamanitra.
20If ye have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why as [if] alive in [the] world do ye subject yourselves to ordinances?
20Ary raha niara-maty tamin'i Kristy ianareo ka efa afaka tamin'ny abidim-pianaran'izao tontolo izao, nahoana no toa mbola velona amin'izao tontolo izao ihany ianareo ka mety hodidiana hoe:
21Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,
21Aza mandray, aza manandrana, aza manendry -
22(things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]:) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,
22levona amin'ny fanaovana ihany izany rehetra izany - araka ny didy sy ny fampianaran'olona?Izany rehetra izany dia ankalazaina ho fahendrena amin'ny fivavahana haitraitra sy ny fanetren-tena ary ny fampahoriana ny tena, nefa tsy manan-kery akory hahasakana ny fampanaranana ny nofo.
23(which have indeed an appearance of wisdom in voluntary worship, and humility, and harsh treatment of the body, not in a certain honour,) to [the] satisfaction of the flesh.
23Izany rehetra izany dia ankalazaina ho fahendrena amin'ny fivavahana haitraitra sy ny fanetren-tena ary ny fampahoriana ny tena, nefa tsy manan-kery akory hahasakana ny fampanaranana ny nofo.
