Colossians 3
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Bhai monaga nnyushiywenje pamo na a Kilishitu, mwiloleyanje indu ya kunani kubhali a Kilishitu, numbe bhashitama kunkono nnilo gwa a Nnungu.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Mwiganishayanje indu ya kunani, nngabha indu ya pa shilambolyo pano.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Pabha mwawilenje, na gumi gwenunji ushiiywa pamo na a Kilishitu kwa a Nnungu.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Pushibhabhoneshe a Kilishitu bhali gumi gwetu, penepo shimmonekanje pamo na bhenebho, muukonjelo.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Bhai, ibhalo yenunji inalame nkulokolila indu ya pashilambolyo, malinga kulabhalabha na indu ya nyata na ilokoli ya nyata na ng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone, pabha kutenda yeneyo ni malinga kutindibhalila yanamu.
6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Kwa ligongo lya genego, nnjimwa ja a Nnungu jinakwiya.
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
Nkali mmanganyanji bhukala mwatemingenenje nndamo ja tenda yene induyo.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Ikabheje nnaino mmanganyanji nnapinjikwanga kuileka yoweyo, nnjimwa, na ilokoli, na ilebho na kulosha na matukano, ganakoposhe nkang'wa yenunji.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Nnabhalanjilananje ya unami, pabha nng'ulilenje gundu gwa bhukala na itendi yakwe yowe,
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
nng'wetenje gundu gwa ambi. Upunda alaywa ukoto nkwaalanda a Nnungu, nkupinga nkolanje lunda lwa kwaamanya bhayene bhaapanganya.
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Penepo shakwa sha lugula kabhili kuti abha, Bhayaudi eu Bhagiliki eu ajalwishe na jwangajaluka, nngumba wala jwampenye, ntumwa wala nngwana, ikabhe a Kilishitu ni yowe, na kwa kila shindu.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Bhai pabha nshibhanganga bhandu nng'agwilwenje na a Nnungu, bha ukonjelo nkupingwanga, ntolanje ntima gwa shiya na uguja na kwiitimalika na shinunu na kwiiluma.
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Nnaukumulane nneshelelananje, mundu akolaga shiumilo sha kunnugula nnjakwe, bhai mbaya anneshelele malinga Bhakulungwa shibhanneshelelenje mmanganyanji.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Kupunda gene gowego, ntamangananje nkupingana, pabha kupingana kunalundanya indu yowe nibha shindu shimo sha nng'ilimila.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Na ulele gwa a Kilishitu gunnongoyanje mitima jenunji, pabha genego ni gunshemelwenje kubha shiilu shimo. Na mmanganje bhandunji bhatendanga eja.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Malobhe ga ngani ja a Kilishitu gagumbale mmitima jenunji, akuno nnijiganyananga na leyana kwa lunda lowe, nnikwaajimbilanga a Nnungu nyimbo ya mbeembela na nyimbo ya muntima, akuno nnitendanga eja mmitima jenunji.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Shoshowe shinkukamulanga kwa lilobhe eu itendi, yowe ntendanje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, na kwaatendela eja Atati a Nnungu kwa lina lya a Yeshu.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Mmandonyanji mwaapilikanilanje ashimbuje bhenunji, nneyo ni shibhapinga Bhakulungwa.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Mmanabhalume nnombilenje, mwaapinganje ashakongo bhenunji, nnakolanje nngomo.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Bhana, mwaapilikanilanje bhankwetenje kwa kila shindu, pabha genego ni gubhapinga Bhakulungwa.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Na mmanganyanji ashaaina mundu, nnaatandubhanje ashibhana bhenunji, bhanawanganga mitima.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
Bhatumwa, mwaapilikanilanje bhakulungwa bhenunji bha pa shilambolyo pano, kwa kila shindu na nngabha kwa jimililwape nkupinga muikonjeleyanje pa meyo gabhonji, ikabheje ntendanje nneyo kwa ntima gwa mmbone, akuno nnikwaajogopanga a Nnungu.
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Shoshowe shinkukamulanga, ntendanje kwa ntima gowe mbuti nkwaatendelanga Bhakulungwa na wala nngabha mundu.
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Mmumanyanje kuti shimposhelanje upo ya ulishi ibhammishilenje Bhakulungwa. Pabha nnakwaatumishilanga Bhakulungwa a Kilishitu.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Pabha atenda yangali ya mmbone shalipwe yangali ya mmbone malinga shatendile, pabha kwa a Nnungu kwangali bhonelwa.
