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,

¹For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

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,

²that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,

³Izay iafenan'ny rakitry ny fahendrena sy ny fahalalana rehetra.

³in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid,

⁴Ary izany no lazaiko, fandrao hisy hampahadiso hevitra anareo amin'ny teny toa marina.

⁴and this I say, that no one may beguile you in enticing words,

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.

⁵for if even in the flesh I am absent — yet in the spirit I am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in regard to Christ;

⁶Koa tahaka ny nandraisanareo an'i Kristy Jesosy Tompo, dia mandehana ao aminy araka izany koa,

⁶as, then, ye did receive Christ Jesus the Lord, in him walk ye,

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)]

⁷being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught — abounding in it in thanksgiving.

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.

⁸See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ,

⁹Fa ao amin'ny tenany no itoeran'ny fahafenoan'ny fomban'Andriamanitra rehetra;

⁹because in him doth tabernacle all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,

¹⁰ary ianareo dia tanteraka ao aminy, sady Izy no Lohan'ny fanapahana sy ny fahefana rehetra,

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

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;

¹¹in whom also ye were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of the Christ,

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.

¹²being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with [him] through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

¹³Ary ianareo, izay efa matin'ny fahadisoana sy ny tsi-fiforan'ny nofonareo, dia novelominy niaraka tamin'i Kristy, rehefa navelany ny fahadisoantsika rehetra;

¹³And you — being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh — He made alive together with him, having forgiven you all the trespasses,

¹⁴ary novonoiny ny sora-tànan'ny didy izay niampanga antsika; dia nesoriny tsy ho eo mihitsy izany ka nohomboany tamin'ny hazo fijaliana,

¹⁴having blotted out the handwriting in the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;

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]

¹⁵having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly — having triumphed over them in it.

¹⁶Koa aza avela hisy hitsara anareo ny amin'ny fihinana, na ny fisotro, na ny andro firavoravoana, na ny voaloham-bolana, na ny Sabata;

¹⁶Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths,

¹⁷aloky ny zavatra ho avy ireny, fa ny tenany dia an'i Kristy.

¹⁷which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body [is] of the Christ;

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)]

¹⁸let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and [in] worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

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.

¹⁹and not holding the head, from which all the body — through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together — may increase with the increase of God.

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:

²⁰If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances?

²¹Aza mandray, aza manandrana, aza manendry -

²¹— thou mayest not touch, nor taste, nor handle —

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.

²²which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men,

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.

²³which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body — not in any honour, unto a satisfying of the flesh.
