Colossians 3
1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Bhai monaga nnyushiywenje pamo na a Kilishitu, mwiloleyanje indu ya kunani kubhali a Kilishitu, numbe bhashitama kunkono nnilo gwa a Nnungu.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Mwiganishayanje indu ya kunani, nngabha indu ya pa shilambolyo pano.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Pabha mwawilenje, na gumi gwenunji ushiiywa pamo na a Kilishitu kwa a Nnungu.
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Pushibhabhoneshe a Kilishitu bhali gumi gwetu, penepo shimmonekanje pamo na bhenebho, muukonjelo.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Bhai, ibhalo yenunji inalame nkulokolila indu ya pashilambolyo, malinga kulabhalabha na indu ya nyata na ilokoli ya nyata na ng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone, pabha kutenda yeneyo ni malinga kutindibhalila yanamu.
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
Kwa ligongo lya genego, nnjimwa ja a Nnungu jinakwiya.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
Nkali mmanganyanji bhukala mwatemingenenje nndamo ja tenda yene induyo.
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Ikabheje nnaino mmanganyanji nnapinjikwanga kuileka yoweyo, nnjimwa, na ilokoli, na ilebho na kulosha na matukano, ganakoposhe nkang'wa yenunji.
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Nnabhalanjilananje ya unami, pabha nng'ulilenje gundu gwa bhukala na itendi yakwe yowe,
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
nng'wetenje gundu gwa ambi. Upunda alaywa ukoto nkwaalanda a Nnungu, nkupinga nkolanje lunda lwa kwaamanya bhayene bhaapanganya.
11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.
Penepo shakwa sha lugula kabhili kuti abha, Bhayaudi eu Bhagiliki eu ajalwishe na jwangajaluka, nngumba wala jwampenye, ntumwa wala nngwana, ikabhe a Kilishitu ni yowe, na kwa kila shindu.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
Bhai pabha nshibhanganga bhandu nng'agwilwenje na a Nnungu, bha ukonjelo nkupingwanga, ntolanje ntima gwa shiya na uguja na kwiitimalika na shinunu na kwiiluma.
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
Nnaukumulane nneshelelananje, mundu akolaga shiumilo sha kunnugula nnjakwe, bhai mbaya anneshelele malinga Bhakulungwa shibhanneshelelenje mmanganyanji.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Kupunda gene gowego, ntamangananje nkupingana, pabha kupingana kunalundanya indu yowe nibha shindu shimo sha nng'ilimila.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
Na ulele gwa a Kilishitu gunnongoyanje mitima jenunji, pabha genego ni gunshemelwenje kubha shiilu shimo. Na mmanganje bhandunji bhatendanga eja.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
Malobhe ga ngani ja a Kilishitu gagumbale mmitima jenunji, akuno nnijiganyananga na leyana kwa lunda lowe, nnikwaajimbilanga a Nnungu nyimbo ya mbeembela na nyimbo ya muntima, akuno nnitendanga eja mmitima jenunji.
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Shoshowe shinkukamulanga kwa lilobhe eu itendi, yowe ntendanje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, na kwaatendela eja Atati a Nnungu kwa lina lya a Yeshu.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Mmandonyanji mwaapilikanilanje ashimbuje bhenunji, nneyo ni shibhapinga Bhakulungwa.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
Mmanabhalume nnombilenje, mwaapinganje ashakongo bhenunji, nnakolanje nngomo.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Bhana, mwaapilikanilanje bhankwetenje kwa kila shindu, pabha genego ni gubhapinga Bhakulungwa.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they will not be discouraged.
Na mmanganyanji ashaaina mundu, nnaatandubhanje ashibhana bhenunji, bhanawanganga mitima.
22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
Bhatumwa, mwaapilikanilanje bhakulungwa bhenunji bha pa shilambolyo pano, kwa kila shindu na nngabha kwa jimililwape nkupinga muikonjeleyanje pa meyo gabhonji, ikabheje ntendanje nneyo kwa ntima gwa mmbone, akuno nnikwaajogopanga a Nnungu.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Shoshowe shinkukamulanga, ntendanje kwa ntima gowe mbuti nkwaatendelanga Bhakulungwa na wala nngabha mundu.
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Mmumanyanje kuti shimposhelanje upo ya ulishi ibhammishilenje Bhakulungwa. Pabha nnakwaatumishilanga Bhakulungwa a Kilishitu.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Pabha atenda yangali ya mmbone shalipwe yangali ya mmbone malinga shatendile, pabha kwa a Nnungu kwangali bhonelwa.
