1 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; 2 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; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 5 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.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 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. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 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: 12 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. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 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; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 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 : 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 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, 19 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.
20 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, 21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 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.

1 Es grybu, ka jyus zynōtu, cik stipri es ryupejūs par jums, kai arī par tim, kas ir Laodikejā un par visim, kas manis personeigi nava redzējuši, 2 lai jūs sirdis byutu (īprīcynōtas) un mīlesteibā savīnōtas, lai jī (nūnōktu) pi piļneigas pōrlīceibas un sapasšonas, pi Dīva nūslāpuma, kai Tāva tai arī (Jezus) Kristus pazeišonas. 3 Jymā ir nūslāpti visi gudreibas un zineibas krōjumi.
4 Šytū es soku, lai nivīns caur daiļruneibu jyusu naapmōneitu. 5 Lai gon mīseigi es nu jums asmu tōli, tūmār gorā es asmu pi jums un ar prīcu radzu, cik labi pi jums vyss ir sakōrtōts un cik stipri ir nūsatyprynōjuse jyusu ticeiba ikš Kristus.
6 Tai kai jyus asot pījāmuši Kungu Jezu Kristu, tad, dzeivojit Jymā 7 stipri īsasakņōjuši, un uz Jō sevi uzcāluši, esit stipri ticeibā, kai jyusus īmōceja, un izplyustit pateiceibā.
8 Raugat, ka jyusu nikas nasakartu caur pasauļa gudreibu, caur tukšu mōneišonu, kura ir dybynōta uz cylvāku tradicijom un uz šō pasauļa elementim, bet na uz Kristus, 9 kurā dzeivoj mīsā ītvarta dīveibas piļneiba. 10 Ikš Jō arī jyus asot ar tū piļneibu pōrpiļdeiti. Jys ir ikvīnas vaļdeibas un vērseibas golva. 11 Jymā jyus asot apgraizeiti ar tū apgraizeišonu, kura nav ar rūku izdareita, bet gon pastōv mīseiguma nūvilkšonā, — un tei ir apgraizeišona ikš Kristus. 12 Reizē ar jū jyus asot caur kristeibu paglobōti un Jymā jyus asot arī augšamcālūšīs caur ticeibu ikš Dīva spāka, kurs jū pīcēle nu myrūnim.
13 Jyusus, kas caur sovim nūzigumim un caur sovas mīsas naapgraizeišonu bejot myruši, Jys reizē ar Jū atgrīze uz dzeivi žēleigi pīdūdams vysus nūzigumus, 14 un mums pretim līcynojūšū saraksteitū lykumu ar jō nūteikumim izdzēse un jū pīkoldams krystā atcēle. 15 Tai Jys vareibas un spākus atbrūņōja un atstōja atklōtam izsmīkļam un caur Jū par tim uzgavilēja.
16 Tōpēc lai nivins jyusu natīsoj par ēdīni un dzērīni, vai arī par svātkim, jaunu mēnesi un sabatu. 17 Šytōs lītas ir tikai nōkamūs āna, bet tei ir Kristus mīsa. 18 Nu uzvaras moksas lai nivins jyusu naatraun nu tim, kas nūsadūd pazamynōšonai un engeļu kolpōšonai, kas stōsta tū, kō nav redzējis, kas bez pamata uzapyuš par sovu mīseigū prōtu, bet 19 napīsatur pi golvas, nu kurōs vysa mīsa caur lūceitovom un saiškim teik savīnōta un kūpā saturāta, lai tei pīsajimtu Dīva augšonā.
20 Jo jyus kūpā ar Kristu pasauļa elementim asot nūmyruši, kōpēc tad pasadūdat nūteikumim, itkai jyus dzeivōtu pasaulī: 21 Šytō tu nadreiksti aizskart, šytō tu nadreiksti baudeit, pi šytō tu nadreiksti pīsaskart? 22 Šytys vyss ir saceits par tom lītom, kas ir pazeimōtas iznīceibai caur nūlītōšonu, un ir cylvāku pīsacejumi un mōceibas, 23 kurom ir škītama gudreiba padīveigumā, pasazamynōšonā un mīsas mērdēšonā, bet tī ir bezvērteigi un kolpoj tikai mīsas kōreibu apmīrynōšonai.
