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 Zama ay ga ba araŋ ma bay ay tangami bambata gaa kaŋ ay go ga te araŋ sabbay se, da ngey mo sabbay se kaŋ go Lawodisiya ra, da borey kulu mo kaŋ mana di ay mo-da-mo.
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;
2 Ay go ga tangam zama i biney ma du gaabi, i ma goro margante baakasinay ra hal i ma du arzaka kaŋ ga fun fahamay tabbatante ra. Woodin yaŋ no ga naŋ i ma Irikoy gundo bay, kaŋ ga ti Almasihu.
3in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
3 A ra no laakal da bayray arzaka kulu go tugante.
4And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.
4 Woodin no ay goono ga ci hala boro kulu ma si araŋ halli nda sanni kaŋ ga darandi.
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.
5 Zama baa kaŋ ay si araŋ do noodin gaaham ra, ay go araŋ do Biya _Hanno|_ ra. Ay goono ga farhã ka di mate kaŋ araŋ sasare ka kay care banda nda gaabi araŋ cimbeero do Almasihu ra.
6As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
6 Mate kaŋ araŋ na Rabbi Almasihu Yesu ta, yaadin cine mo no a ga hima araŋ ma dira a ra.
7rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
7 Araŋ kaajey sinji a ra. Araŋ cina a boŋ mo hal araŋ te gaabi cimbeeri ra, mate kaŋ cine i n'araŋ dondonandi nd'a. Araŋ goono ga yulwa a ra da saabuyaŋ mo.
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.
8 Araŋ ma te laakal hala boro kulu ma si du araŋ da nga bayray da halliyaŋ yaamey, borey alaadey boŋ da ndunnya hayey boŋ, kaŋ manti Almasihu boŋ.
9For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;
9 Zama a ra no Irikoytara toonanta kulu goono ga goro a gaahamo ra.
10and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,
10 Irikoy n'araŋ toonandi Almasihu ra mo, nga kaŋ ga ti koytaray da hin kulu boŋo.
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;
11 A ra mo no i n'araŋ dambangu*, manti nda dambanguyaŋ kaŋ kambe ga te bo, amma da Almasihu wane dambanguyaŋo kaŋ a te, kaŋ na Adam-ize daa laalo dabaro kaa.
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.
12 I n'araŋ fiji a banda baptisma* ra, i n'araŋ tunandi mo a banda, _araŋ|_ cimbeero do Irikoy goyo ra, nga kaŋ na Almasihu tunandi ka kaa buukoy game ra.
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;
13 Araŋ mo kaŋ go buukoyaŋ araŋ taaley d'araŋ Adam-ize daa laala dambanguyaŋ-jaŋay sabbay se, Irikoy n'araŋ funandi a banda k'iri taaley kulu yaafa iri se.
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;
14 Asariya* hantumo kaŋ kay iri gaa ka gaaba nd'iri mo, Irikoy n'a tuusu ka kaa k'a kanji kanjiyaŋ* bundo gaa.
15having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.
15 A na koyey da hinkoyey kaa nga gaa. Gaa no a n'i haawandi taray kwaaray ka du zaama i boŋ kanjiyaŋ bundo do.
16Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,
16 Wa si ta boro kulu m'araŋ ciiti ŋwa da haŋ ciine ra, wala batu hane, wala handu kayyaŋ, wala asibti* zaari ciine ra.
17which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.
17 Hayey din ya biyayaŋ* no hayey kaŋ yaŋ ga aniya ka kaa se, amma Almasihu ga ti biyey din Koyo.
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,
18 Boro fooyaŋ go no kaŋ ga maa kaani ka ngey boŋ kaynandiyaŋ alhaali cabe ka sombu malaykey* se. Wa si naŋ borey wo dumi m'araŋ zamba k'araŋ zaamayaŋ alhakko zay. Borey din goono ga kay _bangayyaŋey|_ kaŋ ngey di ra. I ga ngey boŋ beerandi sabaabu si, ngey Adam-ize lasaabey boŋ.
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.
19 I fay no ka fun boŋo gaa. A do no gaahamo kulu goono ga gaay ka haw care gaa dabey da kaajey do, ka tonton da toonandiyaŋ kaŋ ga fun Irikoy do.
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?
20 Za kaŋ araŋ bu Almasihu banda ka fay da ndunnya hayey, ifo se no araŋ goono g'araŋ gora te danga ndunnya goray, k'a lordey* gana.
21Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,
21 Danga i ma ne: «Ma si woone ham! Ma si woone taba! Ma si lamba woone gaa!»
22(things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]:) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,
22 Hayey din binde ga halaci ngey goyey ra, zama i n'i sinji borey lordey* d'i dondonandiyaŋey boŋ.
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.
23 Hayey din ga hima danga i gonda laakal, zama fundi ibaay sombuyaŋ anniya ra n'i bara, da boŋ kaynandiyaŋ da gaaham taabandiyaŋ ra, amma i sinda nafa kulu gaaham ibaay laaley boŋ hiniyaŋ se.
