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;
1Nacuaj nak tênau nak junelic ninq'ue inch'ôl chi tijoc chêrix lâex jo'can ajcui' chirixeb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb aran Laodicea. Nintijoc chirixeb chixjunileb laj pâbanel, li ac neque'xnau cuu, jo' ajcui' li inc'a' neque'xnau cuu.
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,
2Ut nintz'âma ajcui' chiru li Dios nak cauhak lê ch'ôl sa' lê pâbâl. Cherahak taxak êrib chêribil êrib re nak junajak êch'ôl. Lix naubal li na'leb a'in naxq'ue xcacuilal lê ch'ôl. Chetauhak taxak ru chi tz'akal lix yâlal li mukmu nak quicuan chak. Li xyâlal li mukmu nak quicuan chak, a'an nak li Cristo cuan êriq'uin.
3in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
3Riq'uin li Cristo naru nakatau li kana'leb xban nak ca'aj cui' riq'uin li Cristo cuan li tz'akal yâl ut a'an naxnau chixjunil.
4Now this I say that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
4Nintakla xyebal êre a'in re nak inc'a' texbalak'îk xbaneb li neque'tacchi'in êre. Chanchan châbil âtin neque'xye, abanan moco yâl ta li neque'xye.
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.
5Usta mâ anihin chak sa' êyânk, abanan junelic nequexinc'oxla. Nasaho' sa' inch'ôl chirabinquil nak junaj lê ch'ôl ut cuanquex sa' tîquilal. Nasaho' ajcui' sa' inch'ôl chirabinquil nak anchal êch'ôl nak nequepâb li Cristo.
6As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,
6Lâex xepâb li Cristo ut a'an chic yal re sa' êbên. Jo'can nak junajakex taxak riq'uin li Cristo, ut texcuânk jo' naraj a'an.
7rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
7Chexpâbânk chi anchal êch'ôl ut chetzolak êrib riq'uin li Cristo. Cauhak êch'ôl chixpâbanquil li c'a'ru tzolbilex cui' ut junelic chexbantioxînk chiru li Dios.
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.
8Mêq'ue êrib chi balak'îc xbaneb li neque'xye nak cuan xna'lebeb. Mâc'a' na-oc cui' li c'a'ru neque'xye xban nak lix na'lebeb moco riq'uin li Cristo ta nachal. A'an yal xna'leb li ruchich'och' ut yal xna'lebeb li kaxe' katôn.
9For in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily,
9Mêq'ue êrib chi balak'îc xbaneb a'an. Nakanau nak chixjunil lix lok'al li Dios ut lix cuanquil cuan riq'uin li Cristo. Lix lok'al ut lix cuanquilal quixc'utbesi nak quic'ulun sa' ruchich'och'.
10and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power;
10K'axal nim xcuanquil li Cristo sa' xbêneb li neque'taklan ut k'axal nim ajcui' xcuanquil sa' xbêneb li musik'ej. Ut xban nak li Cristo cuan êriq'uin, nim ajcui' êcuanquil lâex ut tz'akal re ru lê yu'am xban nak q'uebil êre xban li Cristo.
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;
11Xban nak xepâb li Jesucristo, junajex chic riq'uin ut chanchan nak xec'ul li circuncisión, aban mâcua' jo' li circuncisión neque'xbânu laj judío. Li xec'ul lâex, a'an nak li Jesucristo quirisi sa' lê ch'ôl lix rahinquil ru li mâusilal.
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.
12Nak xec'ul li cubi ha' chanchan nak quexmuke' êrochben li Cristo ut quexcuacli cui'chic chi yo'yo xban nak ac' chic lê yu'am nak xepâb li nimajcual Dios li quicuaclesin cui'chic re li Jesucristo chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak.
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,
13Junxil camenakex nak quexcuan chak xban li mâc ut xban nak mâji' isinbil sa' lê ch'ôl lix rahinquil ru li mâusilal. Aban anakcuan yo'yôquex chic. Li Dios quicuaclesin cui'chic re li Jesucristo chi yo'yo. Ut jo'can ajcui' lâex, yo'yôquex chic xban nak ac' chic lê yu'am q'uebil êre xban li Dios ut cuybil sachbil chixjunil lê mâc.
14wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
14Cuan tojba mâc sa' kabên xban nak xkak'et li chak'rab tz'îbanbil chak najter. Abanan li Dios quixye nak tojbil chic rix chixjunil li kamâc xban nak li Jesucristo quicam chiru li cruz sa' kac'aba' lâo.
15having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
15Nak quicam chiru li cruz li Jesucristo, li Dios quirisi xcuanquileb li neque'taklan ut quirisi ajcui' xcuanquileb li mâus aj musik'ej. Ut quixc'ut xxutâneb nak quinumta sa' xbêneb.
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,
16Mich'inan êch'ôl cui ani nacuech'in êre riq'uin li c'a'ru nequetzaca ut li c'a'ru nequeruc'. Chi moco tâch'inânk êch'ôl cui ani nacuech'in êre xban nak inc'a' nequenink'ei lix nink'eheb. Cuan li neque'xnink'ei lix yo'lajic li po ut li hilobâl cutan.
17which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
17Chixjunil li c'a'ru que'xbânu, a'an yal retalil li c'a'ru tâc'ulmânk. Abanan, nak quic'ulun li Cristo, quitz'akloc ru li c'a'ru que'xbânu eb a'an.
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,
18Cuan li neque'xye nak châbileb ut chanchan nak neque'xcubsi ribeb. Abanan moco yâl ta. Lix na'lebeb moco q'uebil ta xban li Dios. Li c'a'ru neque'xbânu, a'an yal c'oxlanbil. Neque'xlok'oni li ángel ut neque'xye cui inc'a' têbânu jo' neque'xbânu eb a'an, inc'a' têc'ul li yechi'inbil êre xban li Dios. Abanan mêpâb li c'a'ru neque'xye xban nak moco yâl ta.
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.
19Eb a'an moco cuanqueb ta rubel xcuanquil li Cristo. Jo'can nak neque'xbânu li bar cuan neque'raj eb a'an. Abanan lâo aj pâbanel, junajo riq'uin li Cristo ut cau kach'ôl riq'uin xban nak a'an najolomin ke. Ut a'an ajcui' natenk'an ke chi q'uîc sa' li kapâbâl jo' naraj li Dios.
20If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
20Chanchan nak quexcam êrochben li Cristo nak xexpâban. Ac' chic lê yu'am ut li c'a'ru tzolbilex cui' chak junxil sa' ruchich'och' mâc'a' chic xcuanquil sa' êbên. ¿C'a'ut nak toj nequeq'ue êrib chi balak'îc ut chixbânunquil lê najter na'leb?
21“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
21Cuan li neque'xye êre: —Mêchap a'an chi moco têch'e' ut mêtzaca, xban nak mâc xbânunquil a'an, chanqueb. ¿C'a'ut nak nequepâb li c'a'ru neque'xye?
22(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
22Chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru a'an nalaj na-oso'. Eb li na'leb a'an yal c'oxlanbil ut xna'lebeb li cuînk.Chanchan châbil na'leb li neque'xye. Neque'xtacuasi rib nak neque'lok'onin ut neque'xrahobtesi rib. Chanchan nak neque'xcubsi xcuanquileb chi ribileb rib. Aban a'an inc'a' naxjal lix na'leb xban nak moco neque'xcanab ta xrahinquil ru li mâusilal.
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.
23Chanchan châbil na'leb li neque'xye. Neque'xtacuasi rib nak neque'lok'onin ut neque'xrahobtesi rib. Chanchan nak neque'xcubsi xcuanquileb chi ribileb rib. Aban a'an inc'a' naxjal lix na'leb xban nak moco neque'xcanab ta xrahinquil ru li mâusilal.
