< 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.
Konsa, si nou te leve avèk Kris, chache bagay anwo yo, kote Kris la ye a, chita sou men dwat Bondye a.
2 Set your affections on things which are aboue, and not on things which are on the earth.
Fikse panse nou sou bagay anwo yo, pa sou bagay ki sou latè yo.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Paske nou te mouri, e lavi nou vin kache avèk Kris nan Bondye.
4 When Christ which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with him in glory.
Lè Kris, ki se lavi nou an, vin revele, alò, nou osi va revele avèk Li nan laglwa.
5 Mortifie therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, vncleannes, the inordinate affection, euill concupiscence, and couetousnes which is idolatrie.
Konsa, konsidere manm kò tèrès nou yo kòm mouri de imoralite, salte, pasyon, move dezi, ak renmen lajan, ki vin menm jan avèk idolatri.
6 For the which things sake ye wrath of God commeth on the children of disobedience.
Paske se akoz bagay sa yo ke lakòlè Bondye va vini sou fis a dezobeyisans yo.
7 Wherein ye also walked once, when ye liued in them.
Konsa, nan yo, nou tou te konn mache, lè nou t ap viv nan yo.
8 But now put ye away euen all these things, wrath, anger, maliciousnes, cursed speaking, filthie speaking, out of your mouth.
Men koulye a, nou menm tou mete yo tout sou kote; Move san, kòlè, mechanste, kout lang, ak move jouman ki sòti nan bouch nou.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that yee haue put off the olde man with his workes,
Pa bay manti a youn lòt, akoz ke nou te mete sou kote ansyen moun nan avèk abitid mechan li yo,
10 And haue put on the newe, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him,
epi te mete sou nou nouvo moun nan k ap renouvle a yon vrè konesans selon imaj a Kreyatè, li.
11 Where is neither Grecian nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: But Christ is all, and in all things.
Yon renouvèlman konsa pa gen distenksyon antre Grèk ak Jwif, sikonsi ak ensikonsi, ni moun Scythe, esklav, ak moun lib, men Kris se tout bagay, e nan tout bagay.
12 Now therfore as the elect of God holy and beloued, put on the bowels of mercies, kindnesse, humblenesse of minde, meekenesse, long suffering:
Konsa, tankou sila ki te chwazi pa Bondye yo, ki sen ak byeneme, mete sou nou yon kè konpasyon, tandrès imilite, jantiyès, ak pasyans;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarel to another: euen as Christ forgaue, euen so doe ye.
ki sipòte youn lòt e padone youn lòt. Nenpòt moun ki gen plent kont yon lòt; jis jan ke Senyè a te padone nou an, se menm jan an nou dwe fè l tou.
14 And aboue all these thinges put on loue, which is the bond of perfectnes.
Anplis de tout bagay sa yo, mete sou nou lanmou, ki se bon kòl pou konplete inite a.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are called in one body, and be ye thankfull.
Kite lapè Kris la renye nan kè nou. Pou li menm, vrèman, nou te rele nan yon sèl kò, e se pou nou rekonesan.
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.
Kite pawòl a Kris la rete an abondans nan nou, avèk tout sajès nan enstwi ak korije youn lòt avèk sòm, kantik, ak chan lespri yo, k ap chante avèk rekonesans Bondye nan kè nou.
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.
Nenpòt sa nou fè nan pawòl oubyen nan zèv, fè tout bagay nan non Senyè a Jésus, e bay remèsiman atravè Li menm, a Bondye Papa a.
18 Wiues, submit your selues vnto your husbands, as it is comely in the Lord.
Madanm yo, se pou nou soumèt a mari nou, jan sa pwòp a Senyè a.
19 Husbands, loue your wiues, and be not bitter vnto them.
Mari yo, renmen madanm nou e pa vin fache kont yo.
20 Children, obey your parents in all thing for that is well pleasing vnto the Lord.
Zanfan yo, se pou nou obeyisan a paran nou yo nan tout bagay, paske sa fè Senyè a plezi anpil.
21 Fathers, prouoke not your children to anger, least they be discouraged.
Papa yo, pa fè pitit nou yo fache pou yo pa vin dekouraje.
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.
Esklav yo, nan tout bagay, obeyi a sila ki mèt nou yo sou tè a, pa sèlman avèk yon sèvis ekstèn, jan sila ki sèlman fè moun plezi yo, men avèk yon kè sensè, nan lakrent Senyè a.
23 And whatsoeuer ye doe, doe it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men,
Nenpòt sa nou fè, fè travay nou avèk tout kè nou kòmsi se pou Senyè a, olye se pou lòm.
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receiue the reward of the inheritance: for ye serue the Lord Christ.
Konnen byen ke nan Senyè a nou va resevwa yon eritaj kòm rekonpans. Se Senyè Kris la ke nou sèvi.
25 But he that doeth wrong, shall receiue for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Paske sila ki fè mal la va resevwa konsekans a mal ke li te fè a, epi sa, san patipri.
