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;

¹Mangav te zhanen sode de trutno o marimos kai marav ma anda tumende, ai kodolenge kai si ande Laodicea, ai mai sa kodolenge kai chi zhanen ma ai shoxar chi dikhle ma.

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;

²Marav ma me, saxke lengo ilo te avel pherdo zor ai pechime te aven chidine ande dragostia, ai barvale andek bari goji te zhanen e buchi e garadi le Devleske, ai le Dadesko ai le Kristosko.

³in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

³Ande leste si garadi sa le barvalimata le pachivalimaske ai le zhanglimaske kai aven katar O Del.

⁴And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.

⁴Me dav duma tumensa kadia, saxke te na meken khonik te dziliarel tumen la xitreniasa.

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.

⁵Vi te sim dur tumendar murhe statosa, pasha tumende sim murhe gindonsa, ai raduime sim ke dikhav sar inkeren mishto savorhe andek than ande tumaro pachamos ando Kristo.

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

⁶Tume premisardian le Jesus Kristos sar tumaro Devles O Skepitori, traiin andek than lesa.

⁷rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

⁷Aven zurales astarde ande leste, keren sa tumaro traio pe leste, barion ando pachamos pala so sichilian, ai naisin sagda.

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.

⁸Na meken le kolavren te rimon tumaro pachamos ai tumaro raduimos penge xoxamle sicharimasa, lenge divanuria nai lashe, won len pe palal ginduria le manushenge, ai na pala so phendia O Kristo.

⁹For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;

⁹Ke so godi si O Del thodiape sar stato ando Kristo, saxke te avel sa ande leste.

¹⁰and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,

¹⁰Ai tume lian swako fielo lesa. Ke wo poronchil pe sa le zora ai pe sa le putiera kai chi dichon.

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;

¹¹Lesa andek than sanas semnome, na o semno kai si kerdo katar le manush, numa o semno kai avel katar O Kristo, ai kodo semno si te na mai aves phuterdo katar e putiera le statoski kai si bezexalo.

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.

¹²Kana sanas bolde, tume sanas angropome le Kristosa, ai porme zhuvindisailian lesa, ke tume pachaian tume ande putiera le Devleski kai andia les katar e martia ka traio.

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;

¹³Tume mai anglal mule sanas le Devleske pala tumare bezexa ai ke chi sanas semnome, tume chi zhanenas le Devles. Numa akana O Del dia tume te traiin le Kristosa; O Del iertisardia ame anda sa amare bezexa.

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;

¹⁴Wo xaladia e buchi kai o zakono dosharelas ame, ai kai ashelas pe amende, ai lia sa kana karfosardia le Kristos po trushul.

¹⁵having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.

¹⁵Kadia O Del lia le bengeski putiera kai tholas dosh pe tumende ke bezexale san, ai O Del sikadia sa la lumiake, ke O Kristo nirisardia po trushul kana lia sa tumare bezexa.

¹⁶Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,

¹⁶Na meken khonik te thol tumenge dosh anda so xan, ai anda so pen, vai ke chi keren le praznikuria le Zhidovonge, ai chi rhugin tume ka nevo shunuto, vai kal Sabat.

¹⁷which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.

¹⁷Kodia si ek patreto le dielenge kai avena, numa o stato si ando Kristo.

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,

¹⁸Na meken kanikas te mothol ke chi san skepime ke chi rhugin tume kal angeluria, ke won mothon ke trobul. Won mothon ke dikhle iek vizion, ai mothon ke vi tume trobulas te dikhen, ke kasavendar manush si le defial xitro, bezex ginduria ai won mothon ke nai barimatange.

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.

¹⁹Kodola manush chi beshen astarde le Kristosa kai si o shero, nais le Kristoske ke ame sam o stato antrego le Kristosko. Amari zor te barios ando Del avel katar O Kristo.

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?

²⁰Tume mulian ke Kristosa ai sanas line avri anda phanglimos anda gindo kadala lumiako. Sostar, traiin sar te avilianas kadala lumiake? Sostar premin te len tume pala kasavendar ginduria?

²¹Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,

²¹"Na azba, na zumav kako, na le kako." Kadala dieli kai si nai mai aven kana ma nai lashe.

²²(things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]:) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,

²²Kado si o zakono ai o sicharimos le manushengo.

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.

²³Miazol kai kadala dieli si mishto te keren, ke kodola dieli si trutno po stato, miazon te na aven barimatange. Won chi aterdiaren o manush te mangen te keren bezex.
