Colossians 2
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
1He ko hoku loto ke mou ʻilo ʻae feinga lahi ʻoku ʻiate au kiate kimoutolu, pea kiate kinautolu ʻi Leotisia, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku teʻeki ai te nau mamata ki hoku mata ʻi he sino;
2That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
2Koeʻuhi ke fiemālie honau loto, kuo fehokotaki ʻi he ʻofa, ki he koloa kotoa pē ʻoe fakapapau lahi ʻoe ʻilo, ki he fakahā ʻoe meʻa fakalilolilo ʻae ʻOtua, ʻio, ʻae Tamai, pea mo Kalaisi;
3In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
3ʻAia ʻoku fufū ai ʻae ngaahi koloa kotoa pē ʻoe poto mo e ʻilo.
4And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
4Pea ʻoku ou pehē ni, ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha tangata te ne fakahalaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he lea fakaoloolo.
5For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
5He neongo ʻoku ou mamaʻo ʻi he sino, ka ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he laumālie, ʻo fiefia ʻo mamata ki hoʻomou anga fakapotopoto, mo e tuʻumaʻu ʻo hoʻomou tui kia Kalaisi.
6As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
6Ko ia ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻa Kalaisi Sisu ko e ʻEiki, ke mou ʻaʻeva ʻiate ia:
7Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
7Kuo aka mo langa hake ʻiate ia, pea fakatuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, ʻo hangē ko e akonekina ʻakimoutolu, pea ke mou tupulekina ai ʻi he fakafetaʻi.
8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
8Vakai naʻa taki fakahē ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi he fiepoto mo e lau fakakākā, ʻoku taau mo e talatupuʻa ʻae tangata, ʻo ngali mo e ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakamaama, ka ʻoku ʻikai taau mo Kalaisi.
9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
9He ʻoku nofo fakamoʻomoʻoni kiate ia hono mātuʻaki fonu ʻoe ʻOtua.
10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
10Pea ʻoku fakafonu ʻakimoutolu ʻiate ia, ʻaia ko e ʻulu ʻoe pule kotoa pē mo e mālohi:
11In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
11ʻAia naʻe kamu ai foki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kamu taʻefai ʻe he nima, ʻi he siʻaki ʻoe sino ʻoe ngaahi angahala fakakakano ʻi he kamu ʻo Kalaisi:
12Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
12ʻO tanu mo ia ʻi he papitaiso, ʻaia kuo mou toetuʻu ai mo ia ʻi he tui ʻoku mei he ngāue ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekia.
13And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
13Pea ko kimoutolu, naʻe mate ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi angahala mo e taʻekamu ʻo homou kakano, kuo ne fakamoʻui fakataha mo ia, ʻi heʻene fakamolemole hoʻomou ngaahi angahala kotoa pē;
14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
14ʻO tāmateʻi ʻi he mate ʻae tohi nima ʻoe ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia naʻe tuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻaia naʻe taʻofi kiate kitautolu, ʻo ne toʻo ʻaupito ia ʻo tuki ki hono ʻakau;
15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
15Pea ʻosi ʻene maumau ʻae ngaahi pule mo e ngaahi mālohi, naʻa ne fakaʻilo fakahā atu ʻakinautolu ʻo vikiviki ai kiate kinautolu.
16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days :
16Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha taha ʻe fakaanga kiate kimoutolu ʻi ha meʻakai, pe ha meʻainu, pe ki ha ʻaho kātoanga, pe ʻi ha tuʻu efiafi, pe ʻi he ngaahi Sāpate:
17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
17ʻAia ko e ngaahi ʻata ʻoe meʻa ʻoku haʻu; ka ko hono sino ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi.
18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
18Ke ʻoua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha ʻi hoʻomou totongi, ʻi he fie angavaivai mo e lotu ki he kau ʻāngelo, ʻi he kaunoa ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ai, mo e fakafuofua lahi noa pē ia ʻi hono loto fakakakano,
19And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
19Pea ʻoku ʻikai puke maʻu ki he ʻUlu, ʻaia ʻoku maʻu mei ai ʻae tokoni ki he sino kotoa, ʻi he ngaahi kupu mo e noʻo, pea kuo femaʻutaki fakataha, ʻoku tupu ʻi he tupu fakaʻotua.
20Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
20Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou mate mo Kalaisi mei he ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakamaama, ko e hā ʻoku mou moʻulaloa ai ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo hangē ʻoku mou moʻui fakamaama, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi fekau mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻae tangata;
21(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
21“ʻOua naʻa ala;” “ʻOua naʻa kamata;” “ʻOua naʻa milihi;”
22Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
22ʻAia ʻe ʻauha kotoa pē ʻi hono ngāueʻaki?
23Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
23Ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻai moʻoni hono matamata poto ʻi he fiefie lotu, mo e angavaivai, pea mo e taʻetokangaʻi ʻoe sino; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga, ka ki he fakafiemālie ʻoe kakano.
