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;

¹For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

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

²that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

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

³in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.

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

⁴Now this I say that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.

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.

⁵For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

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

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

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

⁷rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.

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.

⁸Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

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

⁹For in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily,

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

¹⁰and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power;

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

¹¹in whom you were also 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 Christ;

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

¹²having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

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

¹³You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

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.

¹⁴wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;

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

¹⁵having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

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;

¹⁶Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,

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

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

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,

¹⁸Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

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.

¹⁹and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God’s growth.

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

²⁰If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,

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

²¹“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”

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.

²²(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?

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.

²³Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
