Colossians 3
1 So if you've been brought back to life with Christ, look for what comes from above, where Christ is, sitting at God's right hand.
Anga itule hangi Itunda umiukilye palung'wi nu Kristo, madumi imakani na akigulya kuiza uKristo wikiie ku mukono nua kigoha nuang'wa Itunda.
2 Fix your mind on what's above, not what's here on earth.
Sigiili kutula imakani a kigulya, shanga kutula makani a mihi.
3 You died, and your life is kept safe with Christ in God.
Kunsoko makulee, nu likalo nu lanyu lapihilwe palung'wi nu Kristo kung'wa Itunda.
4 When Christ—your life—is revealed, then you will also share in his visible glory.
Matungo uKristo nuikigeeleka, naiza ingi likalo nu lanyu, Papo nunyenye ga mukigeeleka nu ng'wenso mu ikulyo.
5 So kill your worldly nature—sexual sin, immorality, lust, evil desires, greedily wanting to have more—this is the worship of idols.
Kululo mapihi i makani namoli mihi ingi, ugoolya, ushapu, nsula ni mbi bii, masigo ni ma bi bii, ni nsula, naiza ingi ikumbiko nila adudu.
6 Because of such things, those who disobey experience God's judgment.
Ingi kunsoko a makani aya ikuo nilang'wa Itunda lipembilye migulya a ana niagila u lwijo.
7 At one time you lived like that when you behaved in such a way,
Igi kunsoko a makani aya ga nu unyenye ai mugendee ku nanso nai mikiie mukati ao.
8 but now you should get rid of such things as anger, rage, wickedness, abuse, and using obscenities.
Kuiti itungili ingi kusinja mumaheje i makani aya ihi. Ingi, ikuo, utaki, nsula ni mbi bii, ituki, ni makani ni mashapu ni pumiila mu malango anyu.
9 Don't lie to each other, since you've discarded your old self and what you used to do,
Leki kikongeli nyenye ku nyenye, ku nsoko mautugulaa u untu nuanyu nua kali ni ntendo niakwe.
10 and put on your new self that is always being made more like your Creator, understanding better who he really is.
Matugalaa untu ugeni, naza witung'waa ugeni mu uhugu kupembelya ni mpyani a uyo naiza mu umbi.
11 In this new situation there's no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, foreigner, barbarian, slave or free, for Christ is everything, and he lives in all of us.
Mu uhugu uwu, kutili uMuyunani nu Muyahudi, kutalwa kidamu nu kuhita kutalwa i kidamu, mumanyi ni shanga mumanyi, mutung'waa, ni shanga mu tung'waa, kuiti badala akwe uKristo ingi makani ihi.
12 Since you are God's special people, holy and dearly loved, adopt a sympathetic nature that is kind, humble, gentle, and patient.
Anga mi aholanigwa ang'wa Itunda, Elu hangi alowa, tugalii u untu nu ukende, uzaa nkolo, uliuki, upolo nu ugimya.
13 Be patient with one another, forgive others among you if you have grievances against one another. Just as the Lord forgave you, you should do the same.
Iho eeli nyenye ku nyenye. I a isiilyi kila muntu nu muya. Anga ize u muntu ukete isosho ku muya, amulekele kunsoko yiyo yiyoo naiza uMukulu nai umulekee unyenye.
14 Above all, love one another, which is the perfect bond that will hold you together.
Ikilo nila makani aya ihi, Mutule nu ulowa, naza kiko kinsaasha ka ukondaniili.
15 May the peace of Christ direct your thinking, because you were called to this by God who makes you one, and thank God for it!
Ulyuuku nuang'wa Kristo umutongeele mu nkolo nianyu. Ai ituile ingi kunsoko a ulyuuku uwu kina ai mitangiwe mu muili ung'wi. Tuli ni ilumbiilyo.
16 Let Christ's message fully live in you. In every wise way teach and instruct one another through psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing praises to God in gratitude and sincerity.
Nu lukani nulang'wa Kristo likie mukati anyu ku ugoli. Ku upolo wihi, imanyisi nu kisija u nyenye ku nyenye ku malumbiilyo, mimbo, ni mimbo a munkolo. Imbi ku ulumbi i nkolo nianyu kung'wa Itunda.
17 Whatever you do, whether in word or action, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, praising God the Father through him.
Hangi kihi ni mukituma, mu makani ang'wi, mu ntendo, itumi ihi ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu. Mi nkiilyi i lumbi Itunda Tata kukiila uNg'wenso.
18 You married women, respect your husbands appropriately in the Lord.
Akima, liuki ku itunja anyu, anga ni izipiie ku Mukulu.
19 You married men, love your wives and don't treat them badly.
Nu nyenye itunja, alowi i a kima anyu, hangi muleke kutula miataki ki italao.
20 You children, always do what your parents tell you because this is what pleases the Lord.
Ang'yinya, akulyi i aleli anyu mu makani ihi, ndogoelyo uu ni imuloeelya uMukulu.
21 You fathers, don't make your children mad, so they won't feel like giving up.
a Tata leki kuasakulyi i ana anyu, iti kina aleke kuambwa nu ukata.
22 Those of you who are servants, do everything your human masters tell you, not with just an eye to please them, but honestly and sincerely, respecting the Lord.
Atugwa, akulyi i akulu anyu mu muili ku makani ihi, shanga ku u ailigwa nua miho anga antu nia kiloa udu, ila ku nkolo nia tai. Mogopi Itunda.
23 Do whatever you do really well, as if you're doing it for God, and not for people,
Kihi ni ukituma, itumi kupuma mu imi nuanyu anga ku Mukulu hangi shanga ku ana adamu.
24 because you know that the Lord will give you your reward—an inheritance! You're serving Christ the Lord!
Mu lingile kina mikasingiilya kipegwa nika usali kupuma ku Mukulu. Ingi uKristo Mukulu ni mukumitumila.
25 Whoever does what's wrong will be paid back for the wrong they've done, and God has no favorites.
Ku nsoko wihi nuitumaa ni shanga taiane ukusingiilya ulamuli ku ntendo ni shanga taiane naza witumile, hangi kutili uguniiligwa.
