Colossians 3
1 If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Mana itei kae Nnongo atikuwafufua pamope ni Kristo, mugapale makowe ya kunani ambako Kristo atama luboko lwa mmaliyo lwa Nnongo.
2 Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.
Muwase kuhusu makowe ga kunani kuhusu kwaa makowe ga dunia.
3 For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.
Kwa kuwa mwatiwaa, ni maisha yinu yayowanike kwaa pamope ni Kristo mu'Nnongo.
4 At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.
Palyo Kristo alowa bonekana, ambae nga maisha yinu, nga mwenga kae mwalowa binekana niywembe mu'utukufu.
5 Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;
Kwa eyo mugafikishe makowe galiyo mu'nnema yaani, umalaya, uchapu, shauku inoite kwaa, ni tamaa, ambayo nga ibada ya sanamu.
6 Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;
Ni kwaa ajili ya makowe aga gadhabu yaisa nnani ya bana babile kwaa nautii.
7 Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.
Ni kwa ajili ya makowe aga mwenga kae mwatityanga kwake mwatamite nkati yabe.
8 But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk;
Lakini nambeambe ni lazima mugaboye makowe aga gote. Yaani, gadhabu, hasira, nia inoite kwaa, matukangano, ni maneno machapu yaboka mu'mikano yinu.
9 Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,
Kana mubaye ubocho kati yinu mwenga, kwa mana mwatiuuluwa utu winu wa kinchogo ni makowe gake.
10 And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;
Mwatiuwala utu waayambe, ambao upangika wambeyambe mu'maarifa bokana ni mpwano wa yolo ywamuumbile.
11 Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.
Mu'maarifa aga, ntopo myunani ni myahudi, tairiwa ni tairiwa kwaa, msomi, ywaabile kwaa msomi, mmanda, ni ywabile kwaa mmanda, lakini badala yake Kristo nga makowe goti nkati ya goti.
12 As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;
Kati bateule ba Nnongo, batakatifu ni apendwa, muuwale utu wema, ukarimu, unyenyekevu, upole ni uvumulivu.
13 Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:
Muchukulyane mwenga kwa mwenga, Muhurumiane kila mundu ni mwenake. Kati mundu abile ni lilalamiko dhidi ya ywenge, amsamehe kwa namna yeyelo ambayo Ngwana atikuwa samiya mwenga.
14 And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.
Zaidi ya makowe aga goti, mube ni upendo ambao nga kigezo cha ukamilifu
15 And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.
Amani ya Kriso ni ibaongoze mu'mioyo yinu. Yabile ni kwa ajili ya amani yee kwamba mwati tiliwa mu'yega umo. Mube ni shukrani.
16 Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.
Na lineno lya Kristo litame nkati yinu kwa utajiri. Kwa hekima yoti, mupundishane ni kushauriana mwenga kwa mwenga kwa Zaburi, nyimbo, na nyimbo za mu'roho. Muimbe kwa shukrani mu'mioyo yinu kwa Nnongo.
17 And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.
Na chochote mukipangite, mu'maneno au mu'makowe, mupange yote mu'lina lya Ngwana Yesu. Mumpeye shukrani Nnongo tate pitya Ywembe.
18 Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.
Anwawa, muanyenyekee asengo binu, kati yatipendeza nkati ya Ngwana.
19 Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Mwenga asengo, mwapende anyumbo yinu, na kana mube wakali dhidi yabe.
20 Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
Bana, mubatii azazi winu mu'makowe yoti, mana nga impendeza Ngwana.
21 Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.
Mwa tate kana muwachokoze bana binu, ili kwamba kana baise kata tamaa.
22 Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:
Amanda, mubatii ngwana winu mu'yega kwa makowe yoti, kana ibe kwa huduma ya minyo kati bandu ba kupuraisha kae, ila kwa mwoyo wa kweli, Mun]yogope Nnongo.
23 Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;
Chochote cha mukipanga, mupange kuoma mu'mwoyo winu kati Ngwana na kana ibe kati kwa bandu.
24 Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.
Mutangite kuwa mwalowa pokya tuzo ya kumiliki kuoma kwa Ngwana. Ni Kristo Ngwana ywamwamumtumikya.
25 For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.
Kwa sababu yeyote ywapanga yabile kwaa ga haki alowa pokya hukumu kwa matendo yabile kwaa haki yaipangite, ni ntopo upendeleo.
