Colossians 3
1 If therefore ye were raised with the Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
Konsa, si nou te leve avèk Kris, chache bagay anwo yo, kote Kris la ye a, chita sou men dwat Bondye a.
2 Think on the things above, not the things on the earth.
Fikse panse nou sou bagay anwo yo, pa sou bagay ki sou latè yo.
3 For ye died, and your life has been hidden with the Christ in God.
Paske nou te mouri, e lavi nou vin kache avèk Kris nan Bondye.
4 When the Christ, our life, is made known, then ye also will be made known with him in glory.
Lè Kris, ki se lavi nou an, vin revele, alò, nou osi va revele avèk Li nan laglwa.
5 Put to death therefore your body-parts on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.
Konsa, konsidere manm kò tèrès nou yo kòm mouri de imoralite, salte, pasyon, move dezi, ak renmen lajan, ki vin menm jan avèk idolatri.
6 Because of which the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience,
Paske se akoz bagay sa yo ke lakòlè Bondye va vini sou fis a dezobeyisans yo.
7 in which ye also once walked when ye lived in them.
Konsa, nan yo, nou tou te konn mache, lè nou t ap viv nan yo.
8 But now ye also, put off all these things: anger, wrath, wickedness, reviling, filthy speaking out of your mouth.
Men koulye a, nou menm tou mete yo tout sou kote; Move san, kòlè, mechanste, kout lang, ak move jouman ki sòti nan bouch nou.
9 Do not lie to each other, having stripped off the old man with his practices,
Pa bay manti a youn lòt, akoz ke nou te mete sou kote ansyen moun nan avèk abitid mechan li yo,
10 and having put on the new man, being renewed in knowledge according to an image of him who created him,
epi te mete sou nou nouvo moun nan k ap renouvle a yon vrè konesans selon imaj a Kreyatè, li.
11 where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman, but the all and in all, Christ.
Yon renouvèlman konsa pa gen distenksyon antre Grèk ak Jwif, sikonsi ak ensikonsi, ni moun Scythe, esklav, ak moun lib, men Kris se tout bagay, e nan tout bagay.
12 Put on therefore, as chosen men of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering,
Konsa, tankou sila ki te chwazi pa Bondye yo, ki sen ak byeneme, mete sou nou yon kè konpasyon, tandrès imilite, jantiyès, ak pasyans;
13 forbearing each other, and forgiving yourselves, if any man has a complaint against any, just as also the Christ forgave you, so also ye,
ki sipòte youn lòt e padone youn lòt. Nenpòt moun ki gen plent kont yon lòt; jis jan ke Senyè a te padone nou an, se menm jan an nou dwe fè l tou.
14 and above all these things, love, which is the bond of perfection.
Anplis de tout bagay sa yo, mete sou nou lanmou, ki se bon kòl pou konplete inite a.
15 And let the peace of God umpire in your hearts, for which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.
Kite lapè Kris la renye nan kè nou. Pou li menm, vrèman, nou te rele nan yon sèl kò, e se pou nou rekonesan.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing by grace in your hearts to God.
Kite pawòl a Kris la rete an abondans nan nou, avèk tout sajès nan enstwi ak korije youn lòt avèk sòm, kantik, ak chan lespri yo, k ap chante avèk rekonesans Bondye nan kè nou.
17 And all things, anything whatever ye may do in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, expressing thanks to the God and Father through him.
Nenpòt sa nou fè nan pawòl oubyen nan zèv, fè tout bagay nan non Senyè a Jésus, e bay remèsiman atravè Li menm, a Bondye Papa a.
18 Wives, be ye submissive to your own husbands as is proper in the Lord.
Madanm yo, se pou nou soumèt a mari nou, jan sa pwòp a Senyè a.
19 Husbands, love the wives and do not be made bitter against them.
Mari yo, renmen madanm nou e pa vin fache kont yo.
20 Children, obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
Zanfan yo, se pou nou obeyisan a paran nou yo nan tout bagay, paske sa fè Senyè a plezi anpil.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they may not be discouraged.
Papa yo, pa fè pitit nou yo fache pou yo pa vin dekouraje.
22 Bondmen, obey in all things those masters according to flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God.
Esklav yo, nan tout bagay, obeyi a sila ki mèt nou yo sou tè a, pa sèlman avèk yon sèvis ekstèn, jan sila ki sèlman fè moun plezi yo, men avèk yon kè sensè, nan lakrent Senyè a.
23 And all things, anything whatever ye may do, work from soul as to the Lord and not to men,
Nenpòt sa nou fè, fè travay nou avèk tout kè nou kòmsi se pou Senyè a, olye se pou lòm.
24 knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Konnen byen ke nan Senyè a nou va resevwa yon eritaj kòm rekonpans. Se Senyè Kris la ke nou sèvi.
25 And he who does wrong will be recompensed what he did wrong, and there is no partiality.
Paske sila ki fè mal la va resevwa konsekans a mal ke li te fè a, epi sa, san patipri.
