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.’
Khrih te na thoh puei tangloeng atah soben hno te toem uh. Te ah te Pathen kah bantang ah aka ngol Khrih om.
2 Fix your thoughts upon the things that are above, not upon those that are on earth.
Soben kah hno te poek uh, diklai hmankah hno te poek uh boeh.
3 For you died, and your Life now lies hidden, with the Christ, in God.
Na duek uh coeng dae nangmih kah hingnah tah Pathen taengah Khrih neh a thuh coeng.
4 When the Christ, who is our Life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Nangmih kah hingnah Khrih te a phoe vaengah nangmih khaw amah neh thangpomnah dongah na phoe uh van bitni.
5 Therefore destroy all that is earthly in you — immorality, uncleanness, passions, evil desires, and that greed which is idolatry.
Te dongah diklai hmankah Cukhalnah, rhongingnah, huebawtnah, a thae la hoehhamnah neh mueibawknah la aka om halhkanah dongah pumrho te duek sakuh.
6 These are the things on account of which the Wrath of God comes,
Te rhoek kongah Pathen kah kosi loh althanah a ca rhoek te a thoeng thil.
7 and to which you, like others, once devoted your lives, when you lived for them.
Te rhoek neh na hing vaengah nangmih khaw te rhoek taengah na pongpa noek uh coeng.
8 You, however, must now lay aside all such things — anger, passion, malice, slander, abuse.
Tedae nangmih loh, kosi, thinsanah, phayoenah, soehsalnah, nangmih ka lamkah ol rhong ol ing boeih te hnawt uh van laeh.
9 Never lie to one another. Get rid of your old self and its habits,
Khat neh khat taengah laithae uh boeh. Hlang rhuem te a khoboe neh pit uh.
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.’
Amah aka suen kah mueimae bangla mingnah dongah a dawn aka sai tangtae hlang thai te bai uh.
11 In that new life there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Christ is all! — and in all!
Te ah te Greek neh Judah, yahvinrhetnah neh pumdul, kholong, hlang tlung, sal, aka loeih ti om pawh. Tedae Khrih tah cungkuem dongah cungkuem la om.
12 Therefore, as God’s People, consecrated and dear to him, clothe yourselves with tenderness of heart, kindliness, humility, gentleness, forbearance;
Te dongah Pathen kah a coelh rhoek, aka cim neh a lungnah rhoek vanbangla, sitlohnah kotak, rhennah, tlayaenah, muelhtuetnah, thinsennah te bai uh.
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.
Khat neh khat naem uh thae lamtah amah mah ah rhen uh thae. Pakhat loh pakhat soah kamkaihnah a khueh atah, Boeipa loh nangmih khodawk a ngai vanbangla nangmih van long khaw khodawkngai uh.
14 Over all these virtues put on love; for that is the girdle which makes all complete.
A cungkuem neh he rhoek soah lungnah thap thil. Te tah a soepnah dongkah pinyennah la om coeng.
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.
Te phoeiah Khrih kah ngaimongnah tah nangmih kah thinko ah cuhlui sak. Te ham ni pum pakhat la n'khue van dongah uemonah khueh uh.
16 Let the Message of the Christ dwell 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.
Khrih kah olka tah nangmih khuiah kodam la om sak. Cueihnah cungkuem dongah khat neh khat thuituen uh lamtah rhalrhing sakuh. Pathen ham nangmih thinko ah lungvatnah neh tingtoeng, bawknah laa, mueihla laa te sa uh.
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.
Mebang khaw na saii uh boeih te tah olka dongah khaw, bitat dongah khaw Boeipa Jesuh ming neh boeih sai uh lamtah amah lamloh pa Pathen te uem uh.
18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as befits those who belong to the Lord.
Huta rhoek Boeipa ah a rhoeprhoi vanbangla na va rhoek taengah boengai uh.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and never treat them harshly.
tongpa rhoek na yuu rhoek te lungnah uh lamtah amih te a mueipuel sak boeh.
20 Children, always obey your parents; for that is pleasant to see in those who belong to the Lord.
Ca rhoek a cungkuem dongah na manu na napa te a olngai pa uh. He tah Boeipa dongah kolo koi la om.
21 Fathers, never irritate your children, lest they should become disheartened.
Pa rhoek, na ca rhoek te cahawh uh boeh. Te daengah ni a ko a bawt uh pawt eh.
22 Slaves, always obey your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you, as if you had but to please men, but giving them ungrudging service, in your reverence for the Master.
Sal rhoek, a cungkuem ah pumsa kah vanbangla na boei rhoek te olngai pa uh. Kolopatai rhoek bangla mikhmuh dawk ah pawt tih thinko moeihoeihnah neh Boeipa te rhih uh.
23 Whatever you do, do it with all your heart, as if working for the Master and not for men,
Na saii uh coeng te tah na hinglu neh saii uh. Te te Boeipa ham ni hlang ham moenih.
24 since you know that it is from the Master that you will receive the inheritance which will be your recompense. You are serving Christ, the Master.
Boeipa lamkah rho thapang na dang uh bitni tila ming uh. Te te Khrih boeipa kah sal ni na bi uh.
25 Those who do wrong will reap the wrong they have done; and there will be no partiality.
Aka thae loh a thae te a dang vetih maelhmai sawtnah om mahpawh.
