Colossians 3
1 Since, therefore, you were raised to life with the Christ, seek for the things that are above; for it is there that the Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
yadi yuuya. m khrii. s.tena saarddham utthaapitaa abhavata tarhi yasmin sthaane khrii. s.ta ii"svarasya dak. si. napaar"sve upavi. s.ta aaste tasyorddhvasthaanasya vi. sayaan ce. s.tadhva. m|
2 Fix your thoughts on the things that are above, not on those that are on earth.
paarthivavi. saye. su na yatamaanaa uurddhvasthavi. saye. su yatadhva. m|
3 For you died, and your life now lies hidden, with the Christ, in God.
yato yuuya. m m. rtavanto yu. smaaka. m jiivita nca khrii. s.tena saarddham ii"svare guptam asti|
4 When the Christ, who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
asmaaka. m jiivanasvaruupa. h khrii. s.to yadaa prakaa"si. syate tadaa tena saarddha. m yuuyamapi vibhavena prakaa"si. syadhve|
5 Therefore destroy all that is earthly in you – immorality, uncleanness, passions, evil desires, and that greed which is idolatry.
ato ve"syaagamanam a"sucikriyaa raaga. h kutsitaabhilaa. so devapuujaatulyo lobha"scaitaani rpaathavapuru. sasyaa"ngaani yu. smaabhi rnihanyantaa. m|
6 These are the things because of which the wrath of God comes,
yata etebhya. h karmmabhya aaj naala"nghino lokaan pratii"svarasya krodho varttate|
7 and to which you, like others, once devoted your lives, when you lived for them.
puurvva. m yadaa yuuya. m taanyupaajiivata tadaa yuuyamapi taanyevaacarata;
8 You, however, must now lay aside all such things – anger, passion, malice, slander, abuse.
kintvidaanii. m krodho ro. so jihi. msi. saa durmukhataa vadananirgatakadaalapa"scaitaani sarvvaa. ni duuriikurudhva. m|
9 Never lie to one another. Get rid of your old self and its habits,
yuuya. m paraspara. m m. r.saakathaa. m na vadata yato yuuya. m svakarmmasahita. m puraatanapuru. sa. m tyaktavanta. h
10 and clothe yourselves with that new self, which, as it gains in knowledge, is being constantly renewed in resemblance to him who made it.
svasra. s.tu. h pratimuurtyaa tattvaj naanaaya nuutaniik. rta. m naviinapuru. sa. m parihitavanta"sca|
11 In that new life there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all! – and in all!
tena ca yihuudibhinnajaatiiyayo"schinnatvagacchinnatvaco rmlecchaskuthiiyayo rdaasamuktayo"sca ko. api vi"se. so naasti kintu sarvve. su sarvva. h khrii. s.ta evaaste|
12 Therefore, as God’s people, consecrated and dear to him, clothe yourselves with tenderness of heart, kindliness, humility, gentleness, forbearance;
ataeva yuuyam ii"svarasya manobhila. sitaa. h pavitraa. h priyaa"sca lokaa iva snehayuktaam anukampaa. m hitai. sitaa. m namrataa. m titik. saa. m sahi. s.nutaa nca paridhaddhva. m|
13 bearing with one another, and, when there is any ground for complaint, forgiving one another freely. As the Master freely forgave you, so you must forgive one another.
yuuyam ekaikasyaacara. na. m sahadhva. m yena ca yasya kimapyaparaadhyate tasya ta. m do. sa. m sa k. samataa. m, khrii. s.to yu. smaaka. m do. saan yadvad k. samitavaan yuuyamapi tadvat kurudhva. m|
14 Over all these virtues put on love; for that is the belt which makes all complete.
vi"se. sata. h siddhijanakena premabandhanena baddhaa bhavata|
15 Let the peace that the Christ gives decide all doubts within your hearts; for you also were called to the enjoyment of peace as members of one body. And show yourselves thankful.
yasyaa. h praaptaye yuuyam ekasmin "sariire samaahuutaa abhavata se"svariiyaa "saanti ryu. smaaka. m manaa. msyadhiti. s.thatu yuuya nca k. rtaj naa bhavata|
16 Let the message of the Christ be alive in your minds in all its wealth, bringing all wisdom with it. Teach and admonish one another with psalms, and hymns, and sacred songs, full of the loving kindness of God, lifting your hearts in song to him.
khrii. s.tasya vaakya. m sarvvavidhaj naanaaya sampuur. naruupe. na yu. smadantare nivamatu, yuuya nca giitai rgaanai. h paaramaarthikasa"nkiirttanai"sca parasparam aadi"sata prabodhayata ca, anug. rhiitatvaat prabhum uddi"sya svamanobhi rgaayata ca|
17 And, whatever you say or do, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus; and through him offer thanksgiving to God the father.
vaacaa karmma. naa vaa yad yat kuruta tat sarvva. m prabho ryii"so rnaamnaa kuruta tena pitaram ii"svara. m dhanya. m vadata ca|
18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as befits those who belong to the Lord.
he yo. sita. h, yuuya. m svaaminaa. m va"syaa bhavata yatastadeva prabhave rocate|
19 Husbands, love your wives, and never treat them harshly.
he svaamina. h, yuuya. m bhaaryyaasu priiyadhva. m taa. h prati paru. saalaapa. m maa kurudhva. m|
20 Children, always obey your parents; for that is pleasant to see in those who belong to the Lord.
he baalaa. h, yuuya. m sarvvavi. saye pitroraaj naagraahi. no bhavata yatastadeva prabho. h santo. sajanaka. m|
21 Fathers, never irritate your children, otherwise they might become disheartened.
he pitara. h, yu. smaaka. m santaanaa yat kaataraa na bhaveyustadartha. m taan prati maa ro. sayata|
22 Slaves, always obey your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you, as if you had but to please people alone, but giving them ungrudging service, in your respect for the Master.
he daasaa. h, yuuya. m sarvvavi. saya aihikaprabhuunaam aaj naagraahi. no bhavata d. r.s. tigocariiyasevayaa maanavebhyo rocitu. m maa yatadhva. m kintu saralaanta. hkara. nai. h prabho rbhaatyaa kaaryya. m kurudhva. m|
23 Whatever you do, do it with all your heart, as if working for the Master and not for people,
yacca kurudhve tat maanu. samanuddi"sya prabhum uddi"sya praphullamanasaa kurudhva. m,
24 since you know that it is from the Master that you will receive the inheritance which will be your reward. You are serving Christ, the Master.
yato vaya. m prabhuta. h svargaadhikaararuupa. m phala. m lapsyaamaha iti yuuya. m jaaniitha yasmaad yuuya. m prabho. h khrii. s.tasya daasaa bhavatha|
25 Those who do wrong will reap the wrong they have done; and there will be no partiality.
