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.
Koa raha niara-natsangana tamin’ i Kristy ianareo, dia katsaho ny zavatra any ambony, any amin’ ny itoeran’ i Kristy, Izay mipetraka eo an-tanana ankavanan’ Andriamanitra.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Saino ny zavatra any ambony, fa tsy ny zavatra etỳ an-tany.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Fa efa maty ianareo, ary ny fiainanareo miara-miafina amin’ i Kristy ao amin’ Andriamanitra.
4 When Christ, your life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
Raha hiseho Kristy fiainantsika, dia hiara-miseho aminy koa amin’ ny voninahitra ianareo.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Koa vonoy ny momba ny tenanareo izay etỳ an-tany, dia fijangajangana, fahalotoana, firehetam-po, fanirian-dratsy ary fieremana, dia fanompoan-tsampy izany;
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience.
fa izany zavatra izany no mahatonga ny fahatezeran’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny zanaky ny tsi-fanarahana;
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
izany koa no nalehanareo fahiny, fony mbola velona taminy ianareo.
8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Fa ankehitriny, esory koa izao rehetra izao, dia fahatezerana, fiafonafonana, lolompo, fitenenan-dratsy, teny mahamenatra avy amin’ ny vavanareo.
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices,
Aza mifandainga ianareo, fa efa narianareo ny toetra taloha mbamin’ ny asany;
10 and have put on the new self, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
ary efa notafinareo ny toetra vaovao, izay havaozina ho amin’ ny fahalalana tsara araka ny endrik’ izay nahary azy.
11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
Fa amin’ izany dia tsy misy jentilisa sy Jiosy, na voafora sy tsy voafora, na barbariana sy Skytiana, na andevo sy tsy andevo, fa Kristy no zavatra rehetra sady amin’ ny rehetra.
12 Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience;
Koa mitafia famindram-po sy fiantrana, fahamoram-panahy, fanetren-tena, fahalemem-panahy, fandeferana, araka ny olom-boafidin’ Andriamanitra sady masìna no malala.
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.
Mifandefera, ka mifamelà heloka ianareo, raha misy manana alahelo amin’ ny sasany; tahaka ny namelan’ ny Tompo ny helokareo no aoka mba hamelanareo heloka kosa.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
Ary aoka ho ambonin’ izany rehetra izany ny fitiavana, fa fehin’ ny fahatanterahana izany.
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Ary aoka hanapaka ao am-ponareo ny fiadanan’ i Kristy, fa ho amin’ izany no niantsoana anareo ho tena iray; ary aoka ho feno fisaorana ianareo.
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.
Aoka ny tenin’ i Kristy hitoetra betsaka ao aminareo amin’ ny fahendrena rehetra, dia mifampianara ka mifananara amin’ ny salamo sy ny fihirana ary ny tonon-kiram-panahy, mihira amin’ ny fahasoavana ao am-ponareo ho an’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Ary na inona na inona no ataonareo, na amin’ ny teny, na amin’ ny asa, dia ataovy amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Tompo izany, ka misaora Andriamanitra Ray amin’ ny alalany.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Hianareo vehivavy, maneke ny vadinareo araka izay mety hatao ao amin’ ny Tompo.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
Hianareo lehilahy, tiava ny vadinareo, ary aza sosotra aminy.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
Hianareo zanaka, maneke ny ray aman-dreninareo amin’ ny zavatra rehetra; fa ankasitrahana ao amin’ ny Tompo izany.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.
Hianareo ray, aza mampahasosotra ny zanakareo, fandrao mamoy fo izy.
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.
Hianareo mpanompo, maneke ny tomponareo araka ny nofo amin’ ny zavatra rehetra, tsy amin’ ny fanompoana eo imaso, tahaka ny mpila sitraka amin’ olona, fa amin’ ny fahatsoram-po, matahotra ny Tompo;
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for people,
ary na inona na inona no ataonareo, dia ataovy amin’ ny fo, tahaka ny ho an’ ny Tompo, fa tsy ho an’ olona,
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
satria fantatrareo fa ny Tompo no handraisanareo ny lova ho valiny; fa manompo an’ i Kristy Tompo ianareo.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
Fa izay manao ny tsy marina dia handray araka ny tsy marina nataony; fa tsy misy fizahan-tavan’ olona,
