Colossians 3
1 If, then, you have been raised with Christ seek the things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God.
Nga bwe mwazuukirira awamu ne Kristo, munoonyenga ebintu ebiri mu ggulu, Kristo gy’atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda.
2 Set your affections on things above; not on things upon the earth.
Mulowoozenga ku ebyo ebiri mu ggulu, so si ebiri ku nsi,
3 For you are dead; but your life is hid with Christ in God.
kubanga mwafa era n’obulamu bwammwe bukwekeddwa mu Kristo mu Katonda.
4 When Christ our life shall appear then you shall also appear with him in glory.
Kristo atuwa obulamu, bw’alirabisibwa, nammwe ne mulyoka mulabisibwa wamu naye mu kitiibwa.
5 Mortify, therefore, your members which are on the earth; fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and licentiousness, which is idolatry;
Noolwekyo temufugibwa bikolwa byammwe eby’omubiri, byonna mubitte. Gamba nga: obwenzi, n’obutali bulongoofu, n’obukaba, n’okwegomba okw’ensonyi, n’okuyaayaana; kye kimu n’okusinza bakatonda abalala.
6 for which the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience;
Kubanga obusungu bwa Katonda bubuubuukira ku baana ab’obujeemu abakola ebintu ebyo,
7 in which you also formerly walked, when you lived with them.
ate nga nammwe edda mwe mwatambuliranga, bwe mwabikolanga.
8 But now also put away all these, anger, wrath, malice, defamation, obscene discourse, from your mouth.
Naye kaakano mweyambulemu ebintu ebyo byonna; obusungu, n’ekiruyi, n’ettima, n’okuvvoola, n’okunyumya emboozi ey’ensonyi.
9 Lie not one to another, having put off the old man, with his practices;
Temulimbagananga kubanga mweyambulako omuntu ow’edda n’ebikolwa bye,
10 and having put on the new, who is renewed by knowledge, after the image of him, who created him; --
ne mwambazibwa omuntu omuggya, nga mufuulibwa abaggya mu kifaananyi ky’oyo eyamutonda, ate ne mu kweyongera okumutegeera.
11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew; circumcision nor uncircumcision; barbarian, Scythian; bond nor free; but Christ is all, and in all.
Olwo tewaba kwawulamu, Muyonaani na Muyudaaya, eyakomolebwa n’ataakomolebwa, Omunnaggwanga, n’Omusukusi, omuddu n’ow’eddembe, wabula Kristo ye byonna, era abeera mu ffe ffenna.
12 Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering.
Ng’abalonde ba Katonda abatukuvu era abaagalwa, mwambalenga omwoyo ogusaasira, n’ekisa, n’obuwombeefu, n’obuteefu, n’obugumiikiriza.
13 Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any one have a complaint against any one: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.
Bwe wabangawo omuntu yenna alina ensonga ku munne, muzibiikirizaganenga, era musonyiwaganenga. Nga Mukama waffe bwe yabasonyiwa era nammwe musonyiwaganenga.
14 And over all these put on love, which is a bond of perfection.
Okwagala kwe kusinga ebintu ebirala byonna, kubanga kwe kunyweza ebintu byonna.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts; to which also you are called in one body, and be thankful.
N’emirembe gya Kristo gifugenga emitima gyammwe, kubanga emirembe egyo gye mwayitirwa mu mubiri ogumu; era mwebazenga.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; and with all wisdom teach and admonish each other by psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs; singing with gratitude in your hearts to the Lord.
Ekigambo kya Kristo mu bugagga bwakyo kibeerenga mu mmwe, mu magezi gonna nga muyigirizagananga era nga mubuuliragananga mwekka na mwekka mu Zabbuli, ne mu nnyimba, ne mu biyiiye eby’omwoyo nga muyimbira Katonda nga mujjudde ekisa mu mitima gyammwe.
17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, even the Father, through him.
Na buli kye munaakolanga mu kigambo oba mu kikolwa, byonna mubikolenga mu linnya lya Mukama waffe Yesu nga muyita mu ye okwebaza Katonda Kitaffe.
18 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Abakazi, muwulirenga babbammwe kubanga ekyo kye kituufu mu Mukama waffe.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Nammwe abaami mwagalenga bakyala bammwe era mubakwasenga kisa so si bukambwe.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
Abaana, muwulirenga bazadde bammwe mu bintu byonna kubanga ekyo ky’ekisanyusa Katonda.
21 Fathers, do not exasperate your children, lest they be discouraged.
Nammwe bakitaabwe temunyiizanga baana bammwe baleme okuddirira mu mwoyo.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but with integrity of heart, as fearing God.
Abaddu, muwulirenga bakama bammwe ab’omu nsi mu bintu byonna, si kubasanyusa lwa kubanga babalaba, naye mubagonderenga n’omutima ogutaliimu bukuusa, nga mutya Mukama waffe.
23 And whatever you do, work it from the soul, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Buli kye mukola mukikole ng’abakolera Mukama waffe so si abantu,
24 knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the recompense for the inheritance; for you serve the Lord.
nga mumanyi nga mulifuna empeera yammwe ey’omugabo gwammwe okuva eri Mukama waffe. Muweerezenga Mukama Kristo;
25 But he who does unjustly, shall receive for the injustice, he has done: for there is no respect of persons.
kubanga ayonoona, alisasulwa olw’ebikolwa bye, so tewaliba kusosola mu bantu.
