Colossians 3
1 If all of you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
Hinu, yikavyai muyukiswi pamonga na Kilisitu, mlondayi gegavi kunani kweavili Kilisitu, atamili upandi wa kulyelela wa Chapanga.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Mholalela mambu ga kunani, na lepi mambu ga pamulima apa.
3 For all of you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Muni nyenye mfwili na wumi winu ufiyiki pamonga na Kilisitu mugati ya Chapanga.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall all of you also appear with him in glory.
Wumi winu wa chakaka ndi Kilisitu, na lukumbi lwaki peihumila na nyenye mewa yati mwivya pamonga nayu muukulu.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Hinu, mkoma mnogo uhakau wa pamulima zemuvelekiwi nazu ngati, ukemi, uhakau, mnogo uhakau uhutulu ngati kufugamila vimong'omong'o.
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience:
Ndava ya mambu genago ligoga laki Chapanga likuvabwelela voha vangamyidakila mwene.
7 In the which all of you also walked some time, when all of you lived in them.
Lukumbi lumonga nyenye mweatamili kulandana na mnogo wa mambu ago gahakau gemvelikwi nagu.
8 But now all of you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Nambu hinu yikuvagana kuleka mambu ago goha, ligoga na mnogo na uhakau, kuvevesa amala maligu gakotoka kuhuma mu milomo yinu.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that all of you have put off the old man with his deeds;
Mkoto kujovelana udese, muni nyenye mmali kuwula mnogo uhakau wemuvelikwi nawu pamonga na matendu gaki goha,
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
muwala wumi wa mupya, wiwiyendelela wihengewa upya na Chapanga muwumba. Muni avakitayi kummanya bwina na kuvya ngati mwene.
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Savages, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
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 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Nyenye ndi vandu vaki Chapanga, mwene avaganili na kuvahagula. Hinu ndi, muvya na mtima wa lipyana, ubwina na unngolongondi, uhiluka na ukangamala.
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do all of you.
Msindimalinanayi na kulekekesana mmonga winu peivya na lijambu loloha kwa muyaki. Mganikiwa kulekekesana ngati Bambu winu cheavalekisi nyenye.
14 And above all these things put on (agape) love, which is the bond of perfection.
Mukuyonjokesa genago, muyendelela kukamulila uganu, muni uganu wikunga kila chindu muumonga wa uchakaka.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also all of you are called in one body; and be all of you thankful.
Na uteke wa Kilisitu ulongosa mumitima yinu, muni ndava Chapanga avakemili nyenye mvya na uteke mwakemeliwi kuvya higa yimonga. Kavili kusengusa!
16 Let the (logos) 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.
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 And whatsoever all of you do in (logos) word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Na kila chindu chemwikita kwa malovi amala litendu, mkita goha kwa kumtopesa Bambu Yesu na kumsengusa Chapanga Dadi mu njila yaki.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Nyenye vadala, muvayuwanila vagosi vinu, muni ndi cheigana Chapanga.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Na vagosi nyenye, muvagana vadala vinu, na mkoto kuvaywangila.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Vana nyenye, mvakitila gabwina vadadi na vanyina vinu magono goha ndi yikumganisa Bambu.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Vadadi na vanyina nyenye, mkoto kuvakitila luhonda vana vinu, nambu yati videnyeka mtima.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
Vavanda nyenye muvayuwanila vakulu vinu mugoha, lepi pevakuvalola ndu mwigana mulolekanayi vabwina nambu mkita genago kwa mtima woha ndava ya kumlumba Bambu.
23 And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Kila chemwihenga muhenga kwa mtima winu woha, ndava ya kumuhengela Bambu lepi ndava ya kumuhengela mundu.
24 Knowing that of the Lord all of you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for all of you serve the Lord Christ.
Mukumbuka kuvya Bambu yati akuvapela njombi yila yeavavikili vandu vaki. Ndava munu mwemukuhegela ndi Kilisitu Bambu!
25 But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
Mweikita gahakau yati ipokela kulandana na uhakau waki, Chapanga ibagula lepi.
