Colossians 3
1 If then you were raised together with Meshikha, seek the things that are above, where Meshikha is, seated on the right hand of God.
Naizvozvo kana makamutswa pamwe naKristu, tsvakai zvekumusoro, uko kuna Kristu agere kuruoko rwerudyi rwaMwari.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Rangarirai zviri kumusoro, kwete zviri panyika.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Meshikha in God.
Nokuti makafa, uye upenyu hwenyu hwakavigwa pamwe naKristu muna Mwari.
4 When Meshikha, your life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Kana Kristu upenyu hwedu achionekwa, ipapo imwiwo muchaonekwa pamwe naye mukubwinya.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Naizvozvo urayai mitezo yenyu iri panyika, upombwe, tsvina, kushumba kwakaipa, kuda zvakaipa, uye kuchiva, kunova kunamata zvifananidzo.
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience.
Nekuda kwezvinhu izvi, hasha dzaMwari dzinouya pavana vekusateerera;
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
imwiwo maimbofamba mazviri, pamairarama mazviri.
8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Asi ikozvino imwiwo bvisai zvese izvi, kutsamwa, hasha, uipi, kunyomba, nekutaura zvinonyadzisa kubva mumuromo wenyu;
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices,
regai kureverana nhema, zvamakabvisa munhu wekare nemabasa ake,
10 and have put on the new self, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
mukapfeka mutsva, anovandudzwa paruzivo semufananidzo wewakamusika;
11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Meshikha is all, and in all.
apo pasina muGiriki uye muJudha, kudzingiswa uye kusadzingiswa, mutorwa, muSikitia, musungwa, wakasununguka; asi Kristu ndiye zvese, uye ari mune zvese.
12 Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience;
Naizvozvo pfekai sevasanangurwa vaMwari, vatsvene nevanodikanwa, moyo yetsitsi, moyo munyoro, kuzvininipisa, unyoro, nemoyo murefu;
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as the Lord forgave you, so you also do.
muchiitirana moyo murefu, nekukanganwirana kana umwe ane mhosva neumwe; Kristu sezvaakakukanganwiraiwo, saizvozvowo imwi;
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
zvino pamusoro pezvinhu zvese izvi pfekai rudo, ndicho chisungo chekupedzeredza.
15 And let the peace of Meshikha rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Nerugare rwaMwari ngarwutonge mumoyo yenyu, ndirwo rwamakadanirwawo mumuviri mumwe; uye ivai vanovonga.
16 Let the word of Meshikha dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to God.
Shoko raKristu ngarigare mamuri neufumi muuchenjeri hwese; muchidzidzisana nekurairana mumapisarema, nenziyo, nenziyo dzemweya, muimbire Ishe nenyasha mumoyo wenyu;
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
uye zvese chero chipi chamunoita pashoko kana pachiito, itai zvese muzita raIshe Jesu, muchivonga Mwari naBaba kubudikidza naye.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Vakadzi zviisei pasi pevarume venyu pachenyu, sezvo zvakafanira muna Ishe.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
Varume, idai vakadzi venyu, uye regai kuvavavira.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Vana, teererai vabereki pazvinhu zvese, nokuti izvi zvinofadza Ishe.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.
Madzibaba, musatsamwisa vana venyu, kuti varege kuora moyo.
22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as people-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.
Varanda, teererai pazvinhu zvese vari vatenzi venyu panyama; kwete nekushandira maziso sevafadzi vevanhu, asi nemoyo wakarurama, muchitya Mwari;
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for people,
uye zvese kunyange chipi chamunoita, itai nemoyo, sekuna Ishe, uye kwete kuvanhu;
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Meshikha.
muchiziva kuti kuna Ishe muchagamuchira mubairo wenhaka; nokuti munoshandira Ishe Kristu.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Asi anoita zvisakarurama achagamuchira zvisakarurama zvaakaita; uye hakuna kusarurwa kwavanhu.
