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;
Cwale haiva Ireza ava mivusi ni Keresite, mu gane zintu zo kwi wulu, uko Kerisite wikere kwi yanza lye chilyo lye Ireza.
2 mind the things above, not the things on the earth,
Muhupule cha zintu zina mwi wulu, isiñi che zintu za hefasi.
3 for you died, and your life has been hid with the Christ in God;
Kakuli muva fwi, mi vuhalo bwenu vupatitwe ni Keresite mwa Ireza.
4 when the Christ—our life—may have appeared, then we will also appear with Him in glory.
Hate na voneke Keresite, iye vuhalo bwenu, cwale kamu voneke naye mwi nkanya.
5 Put to death, then, your members that [are] on the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry—
Muvike kwifu, cwale, zilama zina hasi- vushahi, kusa jolola, kusava ni chishemo, itakazo imbi, ni ku lya ahulu, ili maswaniso.
6 because of which things comes the anger of God on the sons of the disobedience,
Ivali njezi zintu kuti vukali bwe Irea vu kezite ha vaana swisu vasa zuwi.
7 in which you also—you once walked, when you lived in them;
Njimona mwezi zintu nanwe ha imwi inako mumu va yendi hamuvali kuhala muzili.
8 but now put off, even you, the whole—anger, wrath, malice, slander, filthy talking—out of your mouth.
Kono hanu inwe muswanera kusoha zonse izi zintu- vukali, vuvengi, mihupulo mivi, kutukana ni ziyambo zivilala kuzwa mu milomo yenu.
9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices,
Kanji mukuli chenganga, akubona muva cupuli muntu wakale ni nkezo zakwe,
10 and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who created him,
mi ci muva zwati muntu muhya unzo yo chafazwa mwi ngana cho kuya che chiswaniso chozo yenke yava chivumbi.
11 where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman, but Christ [is] all and in all.
Ichi njaho kakusina Mugerike ni Mujunda, womupato ni yasali wamupato, mubabaria, Sisenia, mutanga, yolukuluhite, kono Keresite nji yense, mi wina muzonse.
12 Put on, therefore, as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, yearnings of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,
Muzwate, cwale, sina va ketiwa ve Ireza, kuchena ni sakiwa, vali tovohete, mañeke, kusalitundula, inse, ni kusavenga.
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;
Mukwaterane zumwi cha zumwi. Muve ni musa kuzumwi ni zumwi. Haiva zumwi wina impiraero kuamana ni zumwi, muswalere mwi nzira iswana mwava kuswaleleri Simwine.
14 and above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of the perfection,
Hewulu wezi zonse zintu, muve ni rato, ili icho chisuminiso che kuvahande.
15 and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you were also called in one body, and become thankful.
Muzuminine i nkozo ya Keresite kuvusa mwi nkulo zenu. ivali cheyi kozo hamuva sumpiwa mumuviri umwina. Mi mulitumere.
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;
Muzuminine linzwi lye keresite lihale mwenu cho vufumu. Cho vutali vonse murute mi mususuweze zumwi ni zumwi cha lisamu ni zimbo ni zimbo zo luhuho. Muzimbe cho vulitumero mwi nkulo zenu kwe Ireza.
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.
Mi chose chimupanga, muma nzwi ni mwi kenzo, mupange zonse mwizina lya Simwine Jesu. Muhe vulitumero kwe Ireza ishetu chakwe.
18 The wives: be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the LORD;
Vafumahali, mulivike kusi yiva mwihenwanu, sina haili iswanero kwa Simwine.
19 the husbands: love your wives, and do not be bitter with them;
Veshetu, musake vafumahali venu, mi kanji muvi ni vuvengi kuamana navo.
20 the children: obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the LORD;
Vahwire, muzuwe ziva miwambira vashemi venu muzintu zonse, kaukili ichi chi tavisa kwa Simwine.
21 the fathers: do not distress your children, lest they be discouraged;
Veshetu, kanji muvengisi vanenu, iri kuli kanji va zwafi.
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;
Vatanga, muzuwe vamiyendisa cho kuya chenyama muzintu zonse, isiñi cha musevezi wa menso sina vatavisa vantu, kono che nkulo yavuitumero. Mutiye Simwine.
23 and all, whatever you may do—out of soul work—as to the LORD, and not to men,
Chonse cho panga, usevezekuzwirira kumuhupulo sina kwa Simwine mi isiñi cha vantu.
24 having known that you will receive the repayment of the inheritance from the LORD—for you serve the LORD Christ;
Mwinzi kuti kamu tambule kwa Simwine impo zo kuyola. Ji Simwine Keresite uzo umusevereza.
25 and he who is doing unrighteously will receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no favor by appearance.
Uzo yense yo mpanga zisalukite zava pangi, mi kakwina chilivonda.
