Colossians 2

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,

For 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;

mba 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,

That 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;

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

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

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

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

Fa 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.

For 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.

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

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

ka mamaka tsara sy miorina mafy ao aminy ary tafatoetra amin'ny finoana, toy ny efa nampianarana anareo, ka mazoto amin'ny fisaorana.

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Tandremo 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.

Beware 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.

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

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

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

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

ary 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;

In 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:

fa niara-nilevina taminy ianareo tamin'ny batisa, izay niarahanareo natsangana taminy koa noho ny finoana ny asan'Andriamanitra, izay nanangana Azy tamin'ny maty.

Buried 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.

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

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

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

Blotting 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;

ary 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.

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

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

Let 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:

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

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Aza 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

Let 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,

ka 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.

And 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.

Ary 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:

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

Aza mandray, aza manandrana, aza manendry -

(Touch not; taste not; handle not;

levona amin'ny fanaovana ihany izany rehetra izany - araka ny didy sy ny fampianaran'olona?

Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

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.

Which 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.
