Kolòs 3
1 Konsa, si nou te leve avèk Kris, chache bagay anwo yo, kote Kris la ye a, chita sou men dwat Bondye a.
If then you were raised together with Messiah, seek the things that are above, where Messiah is, seated on the right hand of God.
2 Fikse panse nou sou bagay anwo yo, pa sou bagay ki sou latè yo.
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3 Paske nou te mouri, e lavi nou vin kache avèk Kris nan Bondye.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Messiah in God.
4 Lè Kris, ki se lavi nou an, vin revele, alò, nou osi va revele avèk Li nan laglwa.
When Messiah, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5 Konsa, konsidere manm kò tèrès nou yo kòm mouri de imoralite, salte, pasyon, move dezi, ak renmen lajan, ki vin menm jan avèk idolatri.
Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
6 Paske se akoz bagay sa yo ke lakòlè Bondye va vini sou fis a dezobeyisans yo.
For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
7 Konsa, nan yo, nou tou te konn mache, lè nou t ap viv nan yo.
You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
8 Men koulye a, nou menm tou mete yo tout sou kote; Move san, kòlè, mechanste, kout lang, ak move jouman ki sòti nan bouch nou.
but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9 Pa bay manti a youn lòt, akoz ke nou te mete sou kote ansyen moun nan avèk abitid mechan li yo,
Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
10 epi te mete sou nou nouvo moun nan k ap renouvle a yon vrè konesans selon imaj a Kreyatè, li.
and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11 Yon renouvèlman konsa pa gen distenksyon antre Grèk ak Jwif, sikonsi ak ensikonsi, ni moun Scythe, esklav, ak moun lib, men Kris se tout bagay, e nan tout bagay.
where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Messiah is all, and in all.
12 Konsa, tankou sila ki te chwazi pa Bondye yo, ki sen ak byeneme, mete sou nou yon kè konpasyon, tandrès imilite, jantiyès, ak pasyans;
Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
13 ki sipòte youn lòt e padone youn lòt. Nenpòt moun ki gen plent kont yon lòt; jis jan ke Senyè a te padone nou an, se menm jan an nou dwe fè l tou.
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Messiah forgave you, so you also do.
14 Anplis de tout bagay sa yo, mete sou nou lanmou, ki se bon kòl pou konplete inite a.
Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
15 Kite lapè Kris la renye nan kè nou. Pou li menm, vrèman, nou te rele nan yon sèl kò, e se pou nou rekonesan.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
16 Kite pawòl a Kris la rete an abondans nan nou, avèk tout sajès nan enstwi ak korije youn lòt avèk sòm, kantik, ak chan lespri yo, k ap chante avèk rekonesans Bondye nan kè nou.
Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
17 Nenpòt sa nou fè nan pawòl oubyen nan zèv, fè tout bagay nan non Senyè a Jésus, e bay remèsiman atravè Li menm, a Bondye Papa a.
Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
18 Madanm yo, se pou nou soumèt a mari nou, jan sa pwòp a Senyè a.
Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Mari yo, renmen madanm nou e pa vin fache kont yo.
Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
20 Zanfan yo, se pou nou obeyisan a paran nou yo nan tout bagay, paske sa fè Senyè a plezi anpil.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Papa yo, pa fè pitit nou yo fache pou yo pa vin dekouraje.
Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
22 Esklav yo, nan tout bagay, obeyi a sila ki mèt nou yo sou tè a, pa sèlman avèk yon sèvis ekstèn, jan sila ki sèlman fè moun plezi yo, men avèk yon kè sensè, nan lakrent Senyè a.
Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
23 Nenpòt sa nou fè, fè travay nou avèk tout kè nou kòmsi se pou Senyè a, olye se pou lòm.
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
24 Konnen byen ke nan Senyè a nou va resevwa yon eritaj kòm rekonpans. Se Senyè Kris la ke nou sèvi.
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Messiah.
25 Paske sila ki fè mal la va resevwa konsekans a mal ke li te fè a, epi sa, san patipri.
But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
