Colossians 3
1 If ye then be raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Nsyuchile pamo ni Kilisito, kwayele muiganisye indu yaili kwinani kwali Kilisito atemi upande wauli ni ulamusi wa Akunnungu.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Nganisyeje indu yaili kwinani ni ngaŵa yaili pa chilambo pano.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe mwaliji ŵawe ni umi wenu usisiche pamo ni Kilisito munkati mwa Akunnungu.
4 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then will ye also appear with him in glory.
Kilisito ali umi wenu wa usyene, nombewo pachawoneche sooni nipele ŵanyamwe chimmoneche pamo nawo mu ukulu wao.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; lewdness, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Nipele, nsiulaje kila tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo sya pachilambo yaani chikululu ni usakwa ni tama ni nganisyo syangalumbana ni lipamo yaili nti kupopela inyago.
6 For which things the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Kwa ligongo lya sambi si, lutumbilo lwa Akunnungu lukwaichilila ŵelewo ŵakukana kupilikanichisya.
7 In which ye also walked formerly, when ye lived with them.
Kalakala, ŵanyamwe mwatamaga nkusikuya tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Nambo sambano nneche yeleyi, lutumbilo ni tama ni chigongomalo ni kwatukana Akunnungu. Maloŵe gangalimate ganakopoche nkang'wa mwenu.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Kasinnambusyana, pakuŵa ntyosisye tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo pamo ni isambo yakwe yose,
10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
ni kuuwala umi wa sambano, aula umi waukwendelechela kutendekwa wa sambano ni Akunnungu ŵakugumba. Ni kwa kwamanyilila uchenene chikuntende mme mpela ŵelewo.
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.
Kwa ligongo lyo, ngapagwa sooni utinda pasikati ja Ŵayahudi ni Ŵagiliki, ŵaumbele ni ŵangaumbala, jwasyomile ni jwangasyoma, kapolo ni jwalechelelwe. Nambo Kilisito ali yose nombe ali mu yose.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
Ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, jwelejo ŵannonyele ni kunsagula kuti mme ŵandu ŵakwe. Kwa yele mmanje ni ntima wa chanasa ni ntima wambone ni wa kulitulusya ni kulitimilika ni upililiu.
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.
Mpilililane jwine ni jwine ni kulechelesyana katema kakalikose mundu akolaga ni maloŵe gakummechetela jwine. Nnechelesyane mpela Ambuje yatite pakunnechelesya ŵanyamwe.
14 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Pakupunda indu yose, njonjechesye unonyelo pakuŵa unonyelo ukutaŵikanya indu yose mu umo uuli utindimisyo.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Chitendewele cha Kilisito chitawale mmitima jenu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ammilasile ŵanyamwe kuti chipagwe chele chitendewele mu chiilu chimo, ni mme ŵakutogolela.
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.
Utenga wa Kilisito ugumbale nkati mwenu. Njiganyane ni kujamukana kwa lunda lose. Njiimbe sabuli ni nyimbo syakwalapa Akunnungu ni nyimbo sya kwapopela akuno nchajimbilaga Akunnungu kwa kutogolela mmitima jenu.
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.
Chichintende chose pane kuŵecheta, mpanganye yose kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu ni kwatogolela Akunnungu Atati kwa litala lyao Che Yesu.
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Ŵanyamwe achakongwe, mwapilikanichisye achiŵankwenu, yeleyi ni yakuti pakwanonyelesya Ambuje.
19 Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.
Ni ŵanyamwe achalume, mwanonyele achiŵankwenu, ni kasimma ŵakalipa kukwao.
20 Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
Ni ŵanyamwe ŵanache mwapilikanichisye achaŵelesi ŵenu mu yose, pakuŵa chelechi chikwanonyelesya Ambuje.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.
Ni ŵanyamwe achaŵelesi kasimwalipula ŵanache ŵenu, kuti akapwa ntima.
22 Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
Ni ŵanyamwe achikapolo mwapilikanichisye aŵala ŵaali achakulu ŵenu kwa chiilu mu indu yose, nkapilikanichisya pe katema pakummona kuti mmoneche ŵambone kukwao nambo ntendeje yeleyo ni ntima wenu wose ligongo lya kwachimbichisya Ambuje Che Yesu.
23 And whatever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
Chinkutenda chachilichose, ntende ni ntima wenu wose, mpela nkwatendela Ambuje ni ngaŵa nkwatendela ŵandu.
24 Knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Nkumbuchile kuti Ambuje chachimpa ŵanyamwe mbote jakwagosela ŵandu ŵao. Pakuŵa Kilisito ali Ambuje ŵa usyene unkwatumichila.
25 But he that doeth wrong, will receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakupanganya yangalumbana, chapochele malipilo ga yangalumbana yapangenye, ligongo Akunnungu nganakola lusagu kose.
