Colossians 3
1 If ye then were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Anga itule hangi Itunda umiukilye palung'wi nu Kristo, madumi imakani na akigulya kuiza uKristo wikiie ku mukono nua kigoha nuang'wa Itunda.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Sigiili kutula imakani a kigulya, shanga kutula makani a mihi.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Kunsoko makulee, nu likalo nu lanyu lapihilwe palung'wi nu Kristo kung'wa Itunda.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Matungo uKristo nuikigeeleka, naiza ingi likalo nu lanyu, Papo nunyenye ga mukigeeleka nu ng'wenso mu ikulyo.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; immorality, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Kululo mapihi i makani namoli mihi ingi, ugoolya, ushapu, nsula ni mbi bii, masigo ni ma bi bii, ni nsula, naiza ingi ikumbiko nila adudu.
6 For which things’ the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Ingi kunsoko a makani aya ikuo nilang'wa Itunda lipembilye migulya a ana niagila u lwijo.
7 In which ye also walked once, when ye lived with them.
Igi kunsoko a makani aya ga nu unyenye ai mugendee ku nanso nai mikiie mukati ao.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Kuiti itungili ingi kusinja mumaheje i makani aya ihi. Ingi, ikuo, utaki, nsula ni mbi bii, ituki, ni makani ni mashapu ni pumiila mu malango anyu.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Leki kikongeli nyenye ku nyenye, ku nsoko mautugulaa u untu nuanyu nua kali ni ntendo niakwe.
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Matugalaa untu ugeni, naza witung'waa ugeni mu uhugu kupembelya ni mpyani a uyo naiza mu umbi.
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Mu uhugu uwu, kutili uMuyunani nu Muyahudi, kutalwa kidamu nu kuhita kutalwa i kidamu, mumanyi ni shanga mumanyi, mutung'waa, ni shanga mu tung'waa, kuiti badala akwe uKristo ingi makani ihi.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Anga mi aholanigwa ang'wa Itunda, Elu hangi alowa, tugalii u untu nu ukende, uzaa nkolo, uliuki, upolo nu ugimya.
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man hath a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Iho eeli nyenye ku nyenye. I a isiilyi kila muntu nu muya. Anga ize u muntu ukete isosho ku muya, amulekele kunsoko yiyo yiyoo naiza uMukulu nai umulekee unyenye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Ikilo nila makani aya ihi, Mutule nu ulowa, naza kiko kinsaasha ka ukondaniili.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Ulyuuku nuang'wa Kristo umutongeele mu nkolo nianyu. Ai ituile ingi kunsoko a ulyuuku uwu kina ai mitangiwe mu muili ung'wi. Tuli ni ilumbiilyo.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Nu lukani nulang'wa Kristo likie mukati anyu ku ugoli. Ku upolo wihi, imanyisi nu kisija u nyenye ku nyenye ku malumbiilyo, mimbo, ni mimbo a munkolo. Imbi ku ulumbi i nkolo nianyu kung'wa Itunda.
17 And whatever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Hangi kihi ni mukituma, mu makani ang'wi, mu ntendo, itumi ihi ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu. Mi nkiilyi i lumbi Itunda Tata kukiila uNg'wenso.
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Akima, liuki ku itunja anyu, anga ni izipiie ku Mukulu.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Nu nyenye itunja, alowi i a kima anyu, hangi muleke kutula miataki ki italao.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
Ang'yinya, akulyi i aleli anyu mu makani ihi, ndogoelyo uu ni imuloeelya uMukulu.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
a Tata leki kuasakulyi i ana anyu, iti kina aleke kuambwa nu ukata.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
Atugwa, akulyi i akulu anyu mu muili ku makani ihi, shanga ku u ailigwa nua miho anga antu nia kiloa udu, ila ku nkolo nia tai. Mogopi Itunda.
23 And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
Kihi ni ukituma, itumi kupuma mu imi nuanyu anga ku Mukulu hangi shanga ku ana adamu.
24 Knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Mu lingile kina mikasingiilya kipegwa nika usali kupuma ku Mukulu. Ingi uKristo Mukulu ni mukumitumila.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Ku nsoko wihi nuitumaa ni shanga taiane ukusingiilya ulamuli ku ntendo ni shanga taiane naza witumile, hangi kutili uguniiligwa.
