Colossians 3
1 You now are alive [spiritually], and [it is as though you were given new life] {[God caused you to become alive]} when he caused Christ to become alive again. So be constantly wanting what is associated with heaven [MTY], where Christ is. There God has given him supreme authority and the highest honor.
Andi Kutelle wa fiu munu nin Kristi Piziran imon kitene kani, ki nkanga na Kristi sosin ku ncara ulime un Kutelle.
2 Be constantly wanting the blessings that God has prepared for you in heaven [MTY]. Do not be constantly wanting [to do the evil deeds that people on] earth do [MTY],
Kpilizan Kitene nimon ile na idi kitene kani na kitene nile na idi inye ba.
3 because you have [ceased to behave as you formerly did. You are like people who have] died. You now live [spiritually] together with Christ in [the presence of] God; and [people] cannot see that [you have a new life].
Bara una icu, ulaife nyanshin kitin Kristi nya Kutelle.
4 When Christ, who causes you to live [spiritually], is publicly revealed, then God will also reveal you publicly together with Christ, [and you together with Christ will be] glorious.
Kubin dak Kristi ulai fe iwa puun umini ba kuru ipuunfi nin Kristi nanya ngongon me.
5 [Get rid of your evil practices/deeds] [MET, MTY] [as though they were enemies whom] you were killing (OR, [Stop doing evil things] [MET, MTY], just as dead people do not do what is evil). Specifically, do not practice sexual immorality. Do not commit unnatural sexual acts. Do not desire to act like that, and do not desire [to do anything that is] evil. Do not desire to have more things than you need, because, if you do that, you are (worshipping material things instead of worshipping God/making material things to become your god).
Mollon, bara nani, iiti nibinai nalapi mine inye-kulapi zina, usalin lau, ntuturi, uciu kibinai nimon, inazan, nkot, unere udurtu ncil.
6 [Do not behave like that] since God will punish [MTY] those who disobey him, because of their sins.
Udi barananere tinanayi Kutelle wa dak kiti nono salin durtu nliru.
7 You also formerly did those things when you were disobeying God.
Udi nanya nile imonere anung wang wandi ncinu kubi na iwa sosin nanghinu.
8 Now, however, as for you, do not do any of these evil deeds: Do not get angry in any way [DOU]. Do not act maliciously. Do not (slander/talk evil about) people. Do not talk abusively to people.
Bara nene nyan piit kitene nile imone -tinana ayi, ayi ananzan, unityi unanzan, tizogo nin nimon incing, na iwa nuzu nanya tinu mine b.
9 Do not lie to one another. Do not do those things, because you have (disposed of/stopped obeying) your former evil nature and stopped doing what you did when you had that former [evil] nature,
Na iwa ati mine kinu ba, bara ina nutun minu kitin nit ukuse nin nadadume.
10 and because you have received a new nature. God is causing your new nature to become more and more like his own nature. He created your new nature in order that [you might get to] know [God] truly.
Ina ni nati annit apese ilenge na ina kusunannya nyiru kuyeli mye, kuyeli nlenge na ana kele minu apese.
11 As a result of that, it is not [important whether anyone is a] non-Jew or a Jew, or [whether anyone is] circumcised or not, or [whether anyone is] a foreigner, or even uncivilized, or [whether anyone is] a slave or not a slave. But [what is important is] Christ, who is supremely important in every way.
Nanya nle uyiruwe na ku Yahudawe sa ku Hiliniyawe duku ba sa unan kalu kucuru sa unan salin nkale asa unit uhem nnanndiru litii, kucin ilenge na adi licin ba bara nani Kristi amere imon vat nanya nimon vat.
12 Because God has chosen you to be his people; and because he loves you, be compassionate to one another. Be kind to one another. Be humble. Be meek (OR, be considerate toward one another), be patient with one another,
Taan atimine nafo alenge na Kutelle na fere naninanya nlau nin su linwana kibinai kunekune ayi ashau unonku kibinai.
13 and tolerate one another’s flaws. Forgive one another, if one of you has a grudge/complaint against another. Just like the Lord [Jesus freely/willingly] forgave you, you too [must freely/willingly forgive one another].
Tizan nibinai nishau nin linwana, ishawa kulapi linwana asa umon dinin tinanzan nin nmong shawan nafo na Cikilare na shawa nin nalapi mine.
14 And what is more important than all of these is that you love one another, because by doing that you will be perfectly united together.
Kitene nile imone vat yitan nin unnere ukuluna nimon vat.
15 Because God chose you to live peacefully [with one another] in your local congregations, let that peace which Christ gives control your (inner beings/hearts), and be constantly thanking God.
Na lisosin limang Kristi suo nanya nibinai mine nanya lisosin limang lolere iwa yicila minu mu kidowo kirum, son anangodiya.
16 And continue to let the message about Christ govern/direct all you think and do, as you very wisely teach and warn one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs (OR, songs that God’s Spirit [gives you]), while you sincerely and thankfully sing to God.
Na liggbulang Kristi suo nanya mine gbardang vat nin kujinjin, dursuzu inizu atimine ushawara nin naleli Nruh, suun alalin godiya nanya nibinai mine vat udu kiti Kutelle.
17 Whatever you say, and whatever you do, do all of this in the manner that those who are representatives [MTY] of the Lord Jesus [should do], while you constantly thank God, our Father, as you ask the Lord Jesus to take your prayers to God.
Vat nile imon na uba su-nanya ligbulang sa katwa-suun vat nanya lissa Ncikilari Yesu nin godiya kiti Kutelle udu Ucif nanya Yesu.
18 You women, be subject to your husbands, since that is what you should do because you have a close relationship with the Lord [Jesus].
Awani toltunon ati mine kiti nales mineile imon na iciuari une kiti Kutelle.
19 You men, love your wives; and, do not be harsh with them.
Anung ales taan usu na wani mine, na iwa naniza ayi nin ghinu ba
20 You children, obey your parents in every circumstance, because the Lord [God] is pleased when you do that.
Non, dorto anan macu mine nanya nimon vat ule imon nyinuari kitin Chikilari.
21 You parents (OR, you fathers), do not correct your children more than you need to, in order that they do not become discouraged.
Anung Acif, na iwa jottu ayi nono mine nin liru ba, bara nibinai mine wati camcam.
22 You slaves, obey your earthly masters in every circumstance. Do not obey your masters only when they are watching [MTY] you, like those who [merely] want to impress their masters favorably. Instead, obey your masters sincerely. Do this because you reverence the Lord [Jesus] (OR, [God]).
Anung acin, durton an cikilari mine nidowo nanya nimon vat, na bara uyenju nizi nanit ba, bara nin kibinai kirum kin fiu Ncikilari.
23 Whatever [work] you do, work wholeheartedly. Work wholeheartedly, like those who are working for the Lord [Jesus]. Do not work like those who are working [merely] for [their] masters,
Vat ni lemong na idinsu, suun nin kibinai krum nafo udu Ncif na nafo udu nanit ba
24 because you know that it is the Lord who will [properly/justly] repay you. That is, you will receive what God has promised. [Remember that] it is Christ who is the real master whom you are serving.
Iyiru iba seru kiti Ncikilari ugadu ulenge na udi un minere, idin suu Ncikilari Kristi katwa.
25 But [God] will judge everyone impartially. He will punish you according to what you have done that is wrong.
Ame ulenge adin suu imon inanzang iba tunughe nin nimong inanzang ile na adin suu, na iba tunughe mun ba.
