Colossians 3
1 If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:
Nsyuchile pamo ni Kilisito, kwayele muiganisye indu yaili kwinani kwali Kilisito atemi upande wauli ni ulamusi wa Akunnungu.
2 have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;
Nganisyeje indu yaili kwinani ni ngaŵa yaili pa chilambo pano.
3 for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe mwaliji ŵawe ni umi wenu usisiche pamo ni Kilisito munkati mwa Akunnungu.
4 When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.
Kilisito ali umi wenu wa usyene, nombewo pachawoneche sooni nipele ŵanyamwe chimmoneche pamo nawo mu ukulu wao.
5 Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.
Nipele, nsiulaje kila tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo sya pachilambo yaani chikululu ni usakwa ni tama ni nganisyo syangalumbana ni lipamo yaili nti kupopela inyago.
6 On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Kwa ligongo lya sambi si, lutumbilo lwa Akunnungu lukwaichilila ŵelewo ŵakukana kupilikanichisya.
7 In which ye also once walked when ye lived in these things.
Kalakala, ŵanyamwe mwatamaga nkusikuya tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo.
8 But now, put off, ye also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.
Nambo sambano nneche yeleyi, lutumbilo ni tama ni chigongomalo ni kwatukana Akunnungu. Maloŵe gangalimate ganakopoche nkang'wa mwenu.
9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,
Kasinnambusyana, pakuŵa ntyosisye tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo pamo ni isambo yakwe yose,
10 and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him;
ni kuuwala umi wa sambano, aula umi waukwendelechela kutendekwa wa sambano ni Akunnungu ŵakugumba. Ni kwa kwamanyilila uchenene chikuntende mme mpela ŵelewo.
11 wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, and in all.
Kwa ligongo lyo, ngapagwa sooni utinda pasikati ja Ŵayahudi ni Ŵagiliki, ŵaumbele ni ŵangaumbala, jwasyomile ni jwangasyoma, kapolo ni jwalechelelwe. Nambo Kilisito ali yose nombe ali mu yose.
12 Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
Ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, jwelejo ŵannonyele ni kunsagula kuti mme ŵandu ŵakwe. Kwa yele mmanje ni ntima wa chanasa ni ntima wambone ni wa kulitulusya ni kulitimilika ni upililiu.
13 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] ye.
Mpilililane jwine ni jwine ni kulechelesyana katema kakalikose mundu akolaga ni maloŵe gakummechetela jwine. Nnechelesyane mpela Ambuje yatite pakunnechelesya ŵanyamwe.
14 And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
Pakupunda indu yose, njonjechesye unonyelo pakuŵa unonyelo ukutaŵikanya indu yose mu umo uuli utindimisyo.
15 And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.
Chitendewele cha Kilisito chitawale mmitima jenu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ammilasile ŵanyamwe kuti chipagwe chele chitendewele mu chiilu chimo, ni mme ŵakutogolela.
16 Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
Utenga wa Kilisito ugumbale nkati mwenu. Njiganyane ni kujamukana kwa lunda lose. Njiimbe sabuli ni nyimbo syakwalapa Akunnungu ni nyimbo sya kwapopela akuno nchajimbilaga Akunnungu kwa kutogolela mmitima jenu.
17 And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.
Chichintende chose pane kuŵecheta, mpanganye yose kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu ni kwatogolela Akunnungu Atati kwa litala lyao Che Yesu.
18 Wives, be subject to [your] husbands, as is fitting in [the] Lord.
Ŵanyamwe achakongwe, mwapilikanichisye achiŵankwenu, yeleyi ni yakuti pakwanonyelesya Ambuje.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Ni ŵanyamwe achalume, mwanonyele achiŵankwenu, ni kasimma ŵakalipa kukwao.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord.
Ni ŵanyamwe ŵanache mwapilikanichisye achaŵelesi ŵenu mu yose, pakuŵa chelechi chikwanonyelesya Ambuje.
21 Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.
Ni ŵanyamwe achaŵelesi kasimwalipula ŵanache ŵenu, kuti akapwa ntima.
22 Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.
Ni ŵanyamwe achikapolo mwapilikanichisye aŵala ŵaali achakulu ŵenu kwa chiilu mu indu yose, nkapilikanichisya pe katema pakummona kuti mmoneche ŵambone kukwao nambo ntendeje yeleyo ni ntima wenu wose ligongo lya kwachimbichisya Ambuje Che Yesu.
23 Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] to the Lord, and not to men;
Chinkutenda chachilichose, ntende ni ntima wenu wose, mpela nkwatendela Ambuje ni ngaŵa nkwatendela ŵandu.
24 knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.
Nkumbuchile kuti Ambuje chachimpa ŵanyamwe mbote jakwagosela ŵandu ŵao. Pakuŵa Kilisito ali Ambuje ŵa usyene unkwatumichila.
25 For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakupanganya yangalumbana, chapochele malipilo ga yangalumbana yapangenye, ligongo Akunnungu nganakola lusagu kose.
