Men Koloje 2
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English Bible
1A I men, komail en aja iran ai pei laud pweki komail, o men Laodijaa, o irail karoj, me jota kilan maj ai ni uduk o.
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;
2Pwe monion arail en kamaitala o irail en warok pena ni limpok o irail en kakairida ni ar dedeki melel duen me rir en Kot.
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,
3Pwe pai en erpit o dedeki, me okiok re a.
3in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4I me i inda mepukat, pwe aramaj amen ede kotau ki komail lokaia widin kan.
4Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
5A ni pali uduk o nai me doo, a ni pali nen i nai mi re omail, i poronki o kilan omail jondi mau, o omail pojon kelail Krijtuj.
5For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6A duen omail wuki on Krijtuj lejuj Kaun o, iduen komail en weweideki i,
6As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
7O podidi on i, o kakau kida i, o komail kelail ni pojon, duen nir komail padak kidar, o nantion
7rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
8Kalaka pwe amen ede jali kin komail padak mal o padok en kauada duen tiak en aramaj akan en jappa, a kaidin tiak en aramaj akan en jappa, a kaidin tiak en Krijtuj.
8Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after Christ.
9Pwe aude pan me udah Kot karoj kotikot re a, nan pein war a.
9For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
10O komail me unjok kilar I, me tapwin wei karoj o manaman karoj.
10and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
11Me komail pil jirkomjaijeki on jirkomjaij eu, me jo manin pa, a duen pwilikidi war en uduk ni jirkomjaij eu, me ren Krijtuj.
11In him 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,
12Ni atail ian I jerkidi paptaij, o me komail pil maur kida pojon manaman en Kot, me kaiajada I jan ren me melar akan.
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.
13O ni anjaun omail mela ni dip o jojirkomjaij en uduk omail, a kotin kamaur komail da ianaki I, ni a kotin maki on kitail japun kan karoj.
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,
14O a kotin iroj wei jan intin o, me kapokon on kitail, me audekier kujoned akan, ap palian kitail, I me a kotin kawelar ni a pajurede on I nin lopu.
14wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
15A lau kaloedier wei kan o manaman akan, ap kajanjanle irail ada o wia kin ir kilel en kaperen eu.
15Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16Jota amen en kadeik komail da pweki kijin mana, de pil nim, de ran a akai, de maram pul, de japat akan.
16Let no one therefore judge you in eating or drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
17Pwe mepukat mot en me pan pwarado, a war o iei Krijtuj.
17which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
18Jota me pan kataue jan komail katin pamail; pwe iei i me kin wiawia pein injen a ni a karakarak o poni on tounlen kan, me a jota kila n er o me aklapalap o perenki pein i ni tiak en uduk a.
18Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19O a jota kin keleki tapwi, me war pon ale jan kijin mana ki kokon akan, iduen a pan kakairida ni kupur en Kot
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.
20A ma komail ian Krijtuj melar jan tiak en jappa, menda komail pil lodi on tiak kan likamata komail memaureta nin jappa.
20If you died with Christ from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21Re kin inda: Koe der doke, koe der jon, koe der jair!
21“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
22A mepukat karoj pan okila kadokepa; ari kijin kujoned mal akan, me aramaj akan ta wiadar.
22(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
23Me janjal en lolekon ni ar wiada pein ar kaudok o karakarak o ar kaloke pali war arail; a mepukat kin kapwaiada pali uduk eta.
23These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body, but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
