Colossians 3
1 If, then, you were raised with the Christ, seek the things above, where the Christ is, seated on the right hand of God;
Anga itule hangi Itunda umiukilye palung'wi nu Kristo, madumi imakani na akigulya kuiza uKristo wikiie ku mukono nua kigoha nuang'wa Itunda.
2 mind the things above, not the things on the earth,
Sigiili kutula imakani a kigulya, shanga kutula makani a mihi.
3 for you died, and your life has been hid with the Christ in God;
Kunsoko makulee, nu likalo nu lanyu lapihilwe palung'wi nu Kristo kung'wa Itunda.
4 when the Christ—our life—may have appeared, then we will also appear with Him in glory.
Matungo uKristo nuikigeeleka, naiza ingi likalo nu lanyu, Papo nunyenye ga mukigeeleka nu ng'wenso mu ikulyo.
5 Put to death, then, your members that [are] on the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry—
Kululo mapihi i makani namoli mihi ingi, ugoolya, ushapu, nsula ni mbi bii, masigo ni ma bi bii, ni nsula, naiza ingi ikumbiko nila adudu.
6 because of which things comes the anger of God on the sons of the disobedience,
Ingi kunsoko a makani aya ikuo nilang'wa Itunda lipembilye migulya a ana niagila u lwijo.
7 in which you also—you once walked, when you lived in them;
Igi kunsoko a makani aya ga nu unyenye ai mugendee ku nanso nai mikiie mukati ao.
8 but now put off, even you, the whole—anger, wrath, malice, slander, filthy talking—out of your mouth.
Kuiti itungili ingi kusinja mumaheje i makani aya ihi. Ingi, ikuo, utaki, nsula ni mbi bii, ituki, ni makani ni mashapu ni pumiila mu malango anyu.
9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices,
Leki kikongeli nyenye ku nyenye, ku nsoko mautugulaa u untu nuanyu nua kali ni ntendo niakwe.
10 and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who created him,
Matugalaa untu ugeni, naza witung'waa ugeni mu uhugu kupembelya ni mpyani a uyo naiza mu umbi.
11 where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman, but Christ [is] all and in all.
Mu uhugu uwu, kutili uMuyunani nu Muyahudi, kutalwa kidamu nu kuhita kutalwa i kidamu, mumanyi ni shanga mumanyi, mutung'waa, ni shanga mu tung'waa, kuiti badala akwe uKristo ingi makani ihi.
12 Put on, therefore, as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, yearnings of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,
Anga mi aholanigwa ang'wa Itunda, Elu hangi alowa, tugalii u untu nu ukende, uzaa nkolo, uliuki, upolo nu ugimya.
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone may have a quarrel with anyone, as the Christ also forgave you—so also you;
Iho eeli nyenye ku nyenye. I a isiilyi kila muntu nu muya. Anga ize u muntu ukete isosho ku muya, amulekele kunsoko yiyo yiyoo naiza uMukulu nai umulekee unyenye.
14 and above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of the perfection,
Ikilo nila makani aya ihi, Mutule nu ulowa, naza kiko kinsaasha ka ukondaniili.
15 and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you were also called in one body, and become thankful.
Ulyuuku nuang'wa Kristo umutongeele mu nkolo nianyu. Ai ituile ingi kunsoko a ulyuuku uwu kina ai mitangiwe mu muili ung'wi. Tuli ni ilumbiilyo.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the LORD;
Nu lukani nulang'wa Kristo likie mukati anyu ku ugoli. Ku upolo wihi, imanyisi nu kisija u nyenye ku nyenye ku malumbiilyo, mimbo, ni mimbo a munkolo. Imbi ku ulumbi i nkolo nianyu kung'wa Itunda.
17 and all, whatever you may do in word or in work, [do] all things in the Name of the Lord Jesus—giving thanks to the God and Father, through Him.
Hangi kihi ni mukituma, mu makani ang'wi, mu ntendo, itumi ihi ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu. Mi nkiilyi i lumbi Itunda Tata kukiila uNg'wenso.
18 The wives: be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the LORD;
Akima, liuki ku itunja anyu, anga ni izipiie ku Mukulu.
19 the husbands: love your wives, and do not be bitter with them;
Nu nyenye itunja, alowi i a kima anyu, hangi muleke kutula miataki ki italao.
20 the children: obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the LORD;
Ang'yinya, akulyi i aleli anyu mu makani ihi, ndogoelyo uu ni imuloeelya uMukulu.
21 the fathers: do not distress your children, lest they be discouraged;
a Tata leki kuasakulyi i ana anyu, iti kina aleke kuambwa nu ukata.
22 the servants: obey those who are masters in all things according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;
Atugwa, akulyi i akulu anyu mu muili ku makani ihi, shanga ku u ailigwa nua miho anga antu nia kiloa udu, ila ku nkolo nia tai. Mogopi Itunda.
23 and all, whatever you may do—out of soul work—as to the LORD, and not to men,
Kihi ni ukituma, itumi kupuma mu imi nuanyu anga ku Mukulu hangi shanga ku ana adamu.
24 having known that you will receive the repayment of the inheritance from the LORD—for you serve the LORD Christ;
Mu lingile kina mikasingiilya kipegwa nika usali kupuma ku Mukulu. Ingi uKristo Mukulu ni mukumitumila.
25 and he who is doing unrighteously will receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no favor by appearance.
Ku nsoko wihi nuitumaa ni shanga taiane ukusingiilya ulamuli ku ntendo ni shanga taiane naza witumile, hangi kutili uguniiligwa.
