Colossians 3
1 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God.
Bhai monaga nnyushiywenje pamo na a Kilishitu, mwiloleyanje indu ya kunani kubhali a Kilishitu, numbe bhashitama kunkono nnilo gwa a Nnungu.
2 Set your mind on the things above, not on things on the earth.
Mwiganishayanje indu ya kunani, nngabha indu ya pa shilambolyo pano.
3 For ye died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God;
Pabha mwawilenje, na gumi gwenunji ushiiywa pamo na a Kilishitu kwa a Nnungu.
4 when Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also be manifested with him in glory.
Pushibhabhoneshe a Kilishitu bhali gumi gwetu, penepo shimmonekanje pamo na bhenebho, muukonjelo.
5 Make dead therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
Bhai, ibhalo yenunji inalame nkulokolila indu ya pashilambolyo, malinga kulabhalabha na indu ya nyata na ilokoli ya nyata na ng'aniyo yangali ya mmbone, pabha kutenda yeneyo ni malinga kutindibhalila yanamu.
6 on account of which things cometh the wrath of God.
Kwa ligongo lya genego, nnjimwa ja a Nnungu jinakwiya.
7 In which things ye also once walked, when ye lived in them;
Nkali mmanganyanji bhukala mwatemingenenje nndamo ja tenda yene induyo.
8 but now put ye away all these, anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy language out of your mouth.
Ikabheje nnaino mmanganyanji nnapinjikwanga kuileka yoweyo, nnjimwa, na ilokoli, na ilebho na kulosha na matukano, ganakoposhe nkang'wa yenunji.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds,
Nnabhalanjilananje ya unami, pabha nng'ulilenje gundu gwa bhukala na itendi yakwe yowe,
10 and have put on the new man, who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him;
nng'wetenje gundu gwa ambi. Upunda alaywa ukoto nkwaalanda a Nnungu, nkupinga nkolanje lunda lwa kwaamanya bhayene bhaapanganya.
11 where there is no Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
Penepo shakwa sha lugula kabhili kuti abha, Bhayaudi eu Bhagiliki eu ajalwishe na jwangajaluka, nngumba wala jwampenye, ntumwa wala nngwana, ikabhe a Kilishitu ni yowe, na kwa kila shindu.
12 Clothe yourselves, therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, with compassionate affections, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
Bhai pabha nshibhanganga bhandu nng'agwilwenje na a Nnungu, bha ukonjelo nkupingwanga, ntolanje ntima gwa shiya na uguja na kwiitimalika na shinunu na kwiiluma.
13 bearing with each other, and forgiving each other, if any one have a complaint against another; even as Christ freely forgave you, do ye also freely forgive;
Nnaukumulane nneshelelananje, mundu akolaga shiumilo sha kunnugula nnjakwe, bhai mbaya anneshelele malinga Bhakulungwa shibhanneshelelenje mmanganyanji.
14 and over all these things put on the robe of love, which is the bond of perfectness;
Kupunda gene gowego, ntamangananje nkupingana, pabha kupingana kunalundanya indu yowe nibha shindu shimo sha nng'ilimila.
15 and let the peace of Christ, to which ye were called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be ye thankful.
Na ulele gwa a Kilishitu gunnongoyanje mitima jenunji, pabha genego ni gunshemelwenje kubha shiilu shimo. Na mmanganje bhandunji bhatendanga eja.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to God;
Malobhe ga ngani ja a Kilishitu gagumbale mmitima jenunji, akuno nnijiganyananga na leyana kwa lunda lowe, nnikwaajimbilanga a Nnungu nyimbo ya mbeembela na nyimbo ya muntima, akuno nnitendanga eja mmitima jenunji.
17 and whatever ye do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, the Father, through him.
Shoshowe shinkukamulanga kwa lilobhe eu itendi, yowe ntendanje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, na kwaatendela eja Atati a Nnungu kwa lina lya a Yeshu.
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Mmandonyanji mwaapilikanilanje ashimbuje bhenunji, nneyo ni shibhapinga Bhakulungwa.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Mmanabhalume nnombilenje, mwaapinganje ashakongo bhenunji, nnakolanje nngomo.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things; for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
Bhana, mwaapilikanilanje bhankwetenje kwa kila shindu, pabha genego ni gubhapinga Bhakulungwa.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children, lest they be discouraged.
Na mmanganyanji ashaaina mundu, nnaatandubhanje ashibhana bhenunji, bhanawanganga mitima.
22 Bond-servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.
Bhatumwa, mwaapilikanilanje bhakulungwa bhenunji bha pa shilambolyo pano, kwa kila shindu na nngabha kwa jimililwape nkupinga muikonjeleyanje pa meyo gabhonji, ikabheje ntendanje nneyo kwa ntima gwa mmbone, akuno nnikwaajogopanga a Nnungu.
23 Whatever ye do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men,
Shoshowe shinkukamulanga, ntendanje kwa ntima gowe mbuti nkwaatendelanga Bhakulungwa na wala nngabha mundu.
24 knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the recompense of the inheritance; serve Christ as your Lord.
Mmumanyanje kuti shimposhelanje upo ya ulishi ibhammishilenje Bhakulungwa. Pabha nnakwaatumishilanga Bhakulungwa a Kilishitu.
25 For he that doeth wrong, shall receive back the wrong which he hath done; and there is no respect of persons.
Pabha atenda yangali ya mmbone shalipwe yangali ya mmbone malinga shatendile, pabha kwa a Nnungu kwangali bhonelwa.
