Colossians 3
1 If yee then bee risen with Christ, seeke those thinges which are aboue, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.
Kuti kakuli kuti Leza wakamubusya amwi a Kkilisito, amuyanduule zintu zyakujulu, oko Kkilisito nkwakkede kujanza lyechilisyo lya Leza.
2 Set your affections on things which are aboue, and not on things which are on the earth.
Amuyeeye atala azintu zyakujulu, pepe azimwi zili aansi.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Nkambo mwakafwa, mpawo buumi bwenu bulisisidwe a Kkilisito muli Leza.
4 When Christ which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with him in glory.
Awo Kkilisito nazolibonia, uuli mbobumi bwenu, awo muyolibonia aamwi anguwe mubulemu.
5 Mortifie therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, vncleannes, the inordinate affection, euill concupiscence, and couetousnes which is idolatrie.
Muzibike kulufu, mpawo, zizo zyamunyika - bwamu, busofwazi, mpeekezyo, kuyandisya zibi, abusyachivulemwangu, kazili mituni.
6 For the which things sake ye wrath of God commeth on the children of disobedience.
Nkambo kazeezi bukali bwa Leza nchibusikila bana bakutaswilila.
7 Wherein ye also walked once, when ye liued in them.
Mulizeezi zintu nzimwakali mwenda mulinzizyo nimwakali kupona mulinzizyo.
8 But now put ye away euen all these things, wrath, anger, maliciousnes, cursed speaking, filthie speaking, out of your mouth.
Pesi lino muyelede kuchenjela kuzintu zyonse ezi - bukali, lunyemo, mpeekezyo imbi, lunyansyo, amatusi kuzwa mumilomo yenu.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that yee haue put off the olde man with his workes,
Mutanowambilani zyakubeja umwi amwenzinyina, mbuli mbumwaka samununa buntu bukulukulu amwi azyiimbo zyabo,
10 And haue put on the newe, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him,
mpawo mwakazwata muntu mupya iwakachitwa mupya muluzibo mbukwelede kuchiimo chawoyo iwakachilenga.
11 Where is neither Grecian nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: But Christ is all, and in all things.
Awo mpawo atakwe muGiliki a muJuda, upalwidwe awutapalwidwe, basikubwelebweza, mu Sitiyeni, muzike, silwangunuko, pesi Kkilisito ulizulide, akuba muli zyoonse.
12 Now therfore as the elect of God holy and beloued, put on the bowels of mercies, kindnesse, humblenesse of minde, meekenesse, long suffering:
Amuzwaate, mpawo, mbuli basale ba Leza, basalali bayandika, amuzwate moyo waluuse, buuya, kulibombya, kulifwinsya akukakatila.
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarel to another: euen as Christ forgaue, euen so doe ye.
Amukkazikane myoyo umwi awumwi, amube aluzyalo umwi awumwi. Nakuti kuli uli akambo kumwenzinyina, umulekelele mbuli Mwami mbwakamulekelela.
14 And aboue all these thinges put on loue, which is the bond of perfectnes.
Atala azintu zyoonse, amube aluyando, lulindondulo chaanzyo chabubotu.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are called in one body, and be ye thankfull.
Luumuno lwa Leza lwendelezye mumyoyo yenu, nkambo kandulolu lumuno nchimwakayitilwa mumubili omwe. Amube akulumba.
16 Let the worde of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdome, teaching and admonishing your owne selues, in Psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songs, singing with a grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Akube kuti Ijwi lya Kkilisito lipone mulindinywe, kuyiisya akululamikana umwi awumwi abusongo boonse, mukwimba nyimbo antembawuzyo anyimbo zyamumuya akulumba mumyoyo yenu kuli Leza.
17 And whatsoeuer ye shall doe, in worde or deede, doe all in the Name of the Lord Iesus, giuing thankes to God euen the Father by him.
Alimwi zyoonse nzimuchita, mumajwi amumichito, amuzichite zyoonse muzina lya Mwami Jesu. Amupe kulumba kuli Leza Taata kwinda mulinguwe.
18 Wiues, submit your selues vnto your husbands, as it is comely in the Lord.
Nobanakazi, amulifwinsye kubaalumi benu, nkambo nchicheelede mu Mwami.
19 Husbands, loue your wiues, and be not bitter vnto them.
Nobaluumi, amuyande banakazi benu, nkabela mutanobi abukkali kulimbabo.
20 Children, obey your parents in all thing for that is well pleasing vnto the Lord.
Nobana, amuswilile bazyali benu muzintu zyoonse, nkambo eezi zilabotelezya mu Mwami.
21 Fathers, prouoke not your children to anger, least they be discouraged.
Nomataata, mutanokkalalili bana benu, kuchitila kuti baleke kusululwa.
22 Seruants, be obedient vnto them that are your masters according to the flesh, in all things, not with eye seruice as men pleasers, but in singlenes of heart, fearing God.
Nobazike, amulemeke basimalelo benu munyama amuzintu zyoonse, pepe chipameso biyo, mbuli bantu basikuupaupa, pesi amoyo wanchoonzyo. Muyowe Mwami.
23 And whatsoeuer ye doe, doe it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men,
Zyoonse nzimuchita, mubeleke kuzwa kumuuya wa Leza alubo pepe kubantu.
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receiue the reward of the inheritance: for ye serue the Lord Christ.
Mulizi kuti muyotambula kuzwa ku Mwami mpindu yalukono. Ngu Mwami Kkilisito ngumubelekela.
25 But he that doeth wrong, shall receiue for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Nkambo kuliwoonse utachiti bululami ulatambula chisubulo chakutalulama kwakwe nkwachita, nkambo takulangwi chiimo chamuntu pe.
