Colossians 3
1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Ya mere, ebe e mere ka unu bụrụ ndị so Kraịst bilie nʼọnwụ, tụkwasịnụ obi unu nʼihe dị nʼeluigwe ebe Kraịst nọ nʼakụkụ aka nri Chineke.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Ka echiche gbasara eluigwe ju unu obi. Unu atụfukwala oge ichegbu onwe unu banyere ihe dị nʼụwa.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Nʼihi na unu anwụọla. E zokwara ndụ unu nʼime Chineke site na Kraịst.
4 When Christ, your life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Mgbe Kraịst onye bụ ndụ unu ga-apụta ihe, unu ga-esokwa ya pụta ìhè nʼebube ya.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Meenụ ka ọchịchọ ọjọọ niile nke ụwa dị nʼime unu bụrụ ihe nwụrụ anwụ. Unu etinyekwala aka nʼịkwa iko, adịghị ọcha, ọchịchọ ọjọọ, agụụ ime ihe ọjọọ, na anya ukwu (nke bụkwa ikpere arụsị).
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience.
Ọ bụkwa nʼihi ihe ndị a ka ọnụma Chineke na-abịakwasị ndị ahụ na-enupu isi.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
Ihe ndị a bụ ihe unu na-eme nʼoge gara aga mgbe unu na-adị ndụ nʼime ha.
8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Ma ugbu a bụ oge iwezuga ihe ndị a niile na ndụ unu: iwe, na ọnụma, na obi ọjọọ, na nkwulu niile, ya na okwu ihere niile na-esi unu nʼọnụ na-apụta.
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices,
Unu agwala ibe unu okwu ụgha, nʼihi na unu eyipụla mmadụ ochie ahụ na-eme ụdị omume a.
10 and have put on the new self, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
Ugbu a, unu eyikwasịla ndụ ọhụrụ ahụ, nke e ji amamihe na-eme ka ọ dị ọhụrụ nʼoyiyi nke onye kere ya.
11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
Nkewa ọbụla adịghị nʼime ndụ a. Ọ dịghị mkpa maọbụ onye Juu maọbụ onye mba ọzọ, maọbụ onye e biri ugwu, maọbụ onye a na-ebighị ugwu. Ọ dịkwaghị mkpa maọbụ onye na-asụ asụsụ ọzọ, ma ọ bu onye ime ọhịa, maọbụ onye Sitia, maọbụ ohu, ma ọ bụkwanụ onye nwe onwe ya. Ihe dị mkpa bụ na Kraịst bụ ihe niile, nọrọkwa nʼime ihe niile.
12 Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience;
Ya mere, dị ka ndị Chineke họpụtara, ndị dị nsọ na ndị ọ hụrụ nʼanya, yikwasịnụ onwe unu obi ọmịiko, na obi ebere, na obi dị umeala, na ịdị nwayọọ, na ntachiobi.
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.
Na-anagidenụ ibe unu, gbagharakwa mmejọ ọbụla ibe unu na-emejọ unu. Gbagharanụ dị ka Onyenwe anyị sị gbaghara unu.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Nke kachasị nke, kwerenụ ka ịhụnanya na-achị achị na ndụ unu, nʼihi na ọ bụ nke a na-ejikọta ihe niile nʼotu.
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Ka udo Kraịst na-achị achị nʼime obi unu, ebe unu bụ akụkụ nke otu anụ ahụ ahụ, a kpọrọ unu ka unu nọdụ nʼudo. Mgbe niile, nọọnụ na-ekele.
16 Let the word of Christ 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.
Ka okwu nke Kraịst biri nʼime unu nʼuju ya. Werenụ amamihe niile na-akụzirịta ibe unu ihe, ma na-adụrịtakwa ibe unu ọdụ. Werekwanụ abụ ọma na abụ nke ime mmụọ bụọrọ Chineke abụ ekele nʼobi unu.
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
Ka ihe niile unu na-eme, nʼokwu maọbụ nʼomume bụrụ nke e mere na nke e kwuru site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, na-enyekwanụ Chineke Nna ekele site na ya.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Ndị bụ nwunye, doonụ onwe unu nʼokpuru di unu, dị ka ọ kwesiri ime nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
Unu ndị bụ di, hụnụ nwunye unu nʼanya, unu ejikwala obi ilu na-emeso ha omume.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Ụmụntakịrị, ruberenụ nne na nna unu isi nʼihe niile, nʼihi na nke a na-amasị Onyenwe anyị.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.
Unu bụ nna, unu emela ihe ga-akpasu ụmụ unu iwe, ka ha ghara ịda mba nʼobi.
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.
Ndị bụ ohu, na-eruberenụ ndị bụ nna unu ukwu nʼanụ ahụ isi nʼihe niile, na-emenụ nke a, ọ bụghị naanị mgbe ha nọ na-ele unu anya, maọbụ mgbe unu chọrọ ịnata ihuọma, kama werenụ obi unu niile, na ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị rubere ha isi.
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for people,
Ihe ọbụla unu na-eme, werenụ obi unu niile mee ya. Ka ọ dị ka ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-arụrụ ya, ọ bụghị dị ka unu na-arụrụ ya mmadụ.
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Chetanụ nke ọma na unu nwere ụgwọ ọrụ nke Onyenwe anyị kwadobere inye unu, ndị ya. Nʼihi na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị Kraịst ka unu na-ejere ozi.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ọjọọ ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ nʼihi ihe ọjọọ niile o mere. Nʼihi na ile mmadụ anya nʼihu adịghị ya.
