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.
Hinu, yikavyai muyukiswi pamonga na Kilisitu, mlondayi gegavi kunani kweavili Kilisitu, atamili upandi wa kulyelela wa Chapanga.
2 Fix your mind on what's above, not what's here on earth.
Mholalela mambu ga kunani, na lepi mambu ga pamulima apa.
3 You died, and your life is kept safe with Christ in God.
Muni nyenye mfwili na wumi winu ufiyiki pamonga na Kilisitu mugati ya Chapanga.
4 When Christ—your life—is revealed, then you will also share in his visible glory.
Wumi winu wa chakaka ndi Kilisitu, na lukumbi lwaki peihumila na nyenye mewa yati mwivya pamonga nayu muukulu.
5 So kill your worldly nature—sexual sin, immorality, lust, evil desires, greedily wanting to have more—this is the worship of idols.
Hinu, mkoma mnogo uhakau wa pamulima zemuvelekiwi nazu ngati, ukemi, uhakau, mnogo uhakau uhutulu ngati kufugamila vimong'omong'o.
6 Because of such things, those who disobey experience God's judgment.
Ndava ya mambu genago ligoga laki Chapanga likuvabwelela voha vangamyidakila mwene.
7 At one time you lived like that when you behaved in such a way,
Lukumbi lumonga nyenye mweatamili kulandana na mnogo wa mambu ago gahakau gemvelikwi nagu.
8 but now you should get rid of such things as anger, rage, wickedness, abuse, and using obscenities.
Nambu hinu yikuvagana kuleka mambu ago goha, ligoga na mnogo na uhakau, kuvevesa amala maligu gakotoka kuhuma mu milomo yinu.
9 Don't lie to each other, since you've discarded your old self and what you used to do,
Mkoto kujovelana udese, muni nyenye mmali kuwula mnogo uhakau wemuvelikwi nawu pamonga na matendu gaki goha,
10 and put on your new self that is always being made more like your Creator, understanding better who he really is.
muwala wumi wa mupya, wiwiyendelela wihengewa upya na Chapanga muwumba. Muni avakitayi kummanya bwina na kuvya ngati mwene.
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.
Chenichi ndi, kawaka kangi kulekengana Myawudi na anga Myawudi, mweadumwili jandu na mwangadumula jandu, mweasomili na mweangasoma mvanda na mwealekekisiwi. Nambu Kilisitu ndi vyoha, avi muvyoha.
12 Since you are God's special people, holy and dearly loved, adopt a sympathetic nature that is kind, humble, gentle, and patient.
Nyenye ndi vandu vaki Chapanga, mwene avaganili na kuvahagula. Hinu ndi, muvya na mtima wa lipyana, ubwina na unngolongondi, uhiluka na ukangamala.
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.
Msindimalinanayi na kulekekesana mmonga winu peivya na lijambu loloha kwa muyaki. Mganikiwa kulekekesana ngati Bambu winu cheavalekisi nyenye.
14 Above all, love one another, which is the perfect bond that will hold you together.
Mukuyonjokesa genago, muyendelela kukamulila uganu, muni uganu wikunga kila chindu muumonga wa uchakaka.
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!
Na uteke wa Kilisitu ulongosa mumitima yinu, muni ndava Chapanga avakemili nyenye mvya na uteke mwakemeliwi kuvya higa yimonga. Kavili kusengusa!
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.
Ujumbi wa Kilisitu utama kwa umahele mugati yinu. Muwulanayi na kuhakalilana kwa luhala lwoha. Muyimba nyimbu za zabuli na nyimbu za kumsengusa Chapanga na nyimbu za kumuyupa Chapanga, mumyimbila Chapanga nyimbu za kusengusa.
17 Whatever you do, whether in word or action, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, praising God the Father through him.
Na kila chindu chemwikita kwa malovi amala litendu, mkita goha kwa kumtopesa Bambu Yesu na kumsengusa Chapanga Dadi mu njila yaki.
18 You married women, respect your husbands appropriately in the Lord.
Nyenye vadala, muvayuwanila vagosi vinu, muni ndi cheigana Chapanga.
19 You married men, love your wives and don't treat them badly.
Na vagosi nyenye, muvagana vadala vinu, na mkoto kuvaywangila.
20 You children, always do what your parents tell you because this is what pleases the Lord.
Vana nyenye, mvakitila gabwina vadadi na vanyina vinu magono goha ndi yikumganisa Bambu.
21 You fathers, don't make your children mad, so they won't feel like giving up.
Vadadi na vanyina nyenye, mkoto kuvakitila luhonda vana vinu, nambu yati videnyeka mtima.
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.
Vavanda nyenye muvayuwanila vakulu vinu mugoha, lepi pevakuvalola ndu mwigana mulolekanayi vabwina nambu mkita genago kwa mtima woha ndava ya kumlumba Bambu.
23 Do whatever you do really well, as if you're doing it for God, and not for people,
Kila chemwihenga muhenga kwa mtima winu woha, ndava ya kumuhengela Bambu lepi ndava ya kumuhengela mundu.
24 because you know that the Lord will give you your reward—an inheritance! You're serving Christ the Lord!
Mukumbuka kuvya Bambu yati akuvapela njombi yila yeavavikili vandu vaki. Ndava munu mwemukuhegela ndi Kilisitu Bambu!
25 Whoever does what's wrong will be paid back for the wrong they've done, and God has no favorites.
Mweikita gahakau yati ipokela kulandana na uhakau waki, Chapanga ibagula lepi.
