< Bhakolosai 3 >

1 Alabha lindi Nyamuanga abhasigile amwi na Kristo, mbe jemujiyenje emisango jinu jili ingulu enu Kristo enyanjile mu kubhoko kwebhulyo okwa Nyamuanga.
If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
2 Nimwiganilishe okulubhana ne misango jinu jili ingulu, jitali jo okulubhana ne misango je Chalo.
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3 kulwo kubha mufuye, no bhulame bhwemwe bhuselekelwe amwi na Kristo ku Nyamuanga.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 Mu mwanya gunu Kristo alibhonekana, ganu bhuli bhulame bhwemwe, mbe niwo nemwe one mulibhonekana nage mwikusho.
When Christ, your life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5 Kulwejo nimugete emisango ago gali mu chalo ganu gali, obhulomesi, obhujabhi, inamba mbibhi, okwisigombela kubhibhi, no bhulomesi, ago nigo ibhaada yo kulamya ebhisusano.
Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
6 Ni ingulu ye misango jinu lisungu lya Nyamuanga elija ingulu ya bhana bhanyantogwa.
Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience.
7 Ni ingulu ye misango jinu emwe one mwalibhatiyemo anu mwejile mwekala agati- yebhwe.
You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
8 Mbe nawe woli ni bhusi-bhusi mugasoshewo amasango ganu gona. Ganu gali, lisungu, ebhinyiga, okwisigombela kubhibhi, okufuma, ne misango mijabhi jinu ejisoka mu minwa nemwe.
but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9 Mwasiga kujigana abhene kwa abhene, kwo kubha mwamufulile omunu wemwe owa kala ne bhikolwa bhyaye.
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices,
10 Mwafwaye munu muyaya, bhunu obhukolwa bhuyaya mu bhumenyi okulubhana ne chijejekanyo cha uliya unu amumogele.
and have put on the new self, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11 Mu bhumenyi bhunu, ataliyo mugiriki amwi Muyaudi, okutendwa no kulemo tendwa, okusoka, unu atali musomi, mugaya, na unu atali mugaya, mbe nawe kukila mwenene Kristo ni misango jona mu jona.
where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Kuti bhasolwa bha Nyamuanga abhelu na abhendwa, nimufwalega obhunyamunu bhwe kisi, obhwila, obhwikeya, obhwololo no kwigumilisha.
Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, gentleness, humility, and patience;
13 Nimugegelanega abhene kwa bhene. Nimusasilanega bhuli munu no wejabho. Alabha omunu akabha ne chisango chitasikene no wejabho, amusasile lwa kutyo guliya gwabhee Latabhugenyi abhasasiye emwe.
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as the Lord forgave you, so you also do.
14 kukila masango ganu gona, nimubhe no kwenda, chinu nicho echikolwa cho bhukumiye.
Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
15 Omulembe gwa Kristo na gubhatangashe mu Mioyo jemwe. Jaliga jili ingulu yo mulembe gunu ati mwabhilikiliywe mu mubhili gumwi. Nimubhega na isime.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
16 No musango gwa Kristo gwikalega mwime kwo bhunibhi. Kwo bhengeso bhwona, nimwiigishanye no kuindana abhene kwa bhene mu jabhuli, mu nyimbo, na mu nyimbo ja mu Mioyo. Nimwimbe kwa isime mu Mioyo jemwe ku Nyamuanga.
Let the word of Christ 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 God.
17 Na chona chona chinu okukolwa, mu misango amwi mu bhikolwa, nimukolega jona mwisina lya Latabhugenyi Yesu. Mumuyane isime Nyamuanga Lata okulabha ku mwene.
Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
18 Abhagasi, bholobhelega abhalume bhwebhwe, lwa kutyo ejikondelesha mu Latabhugenyi.
Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Emwe one abhalume, nimubhendega abhagasi bhemwe, na mwasiga kubha bhalulu ku bhenene.
Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
20 Abhana abhatoto, nimubholobhelega abhebhusi bhemwe mu misango jona, kulwo kubha nikwo kutyo ejimukondelesha Latabhugenyi.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Emwe one bhalata nimusigega okubhanyasha abhana abhatoto bhemwe, koleleki ati bhasiga kufwa mutima.
Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.
22 Emwe abhagaya, nimubholobhelega abhakulu bhemwe mu mubhili ku misango jona, atali kwo bhufulubhendi bhwa meso kuti bhanu bho kukondelesha-la, nawe kwo Mwoyo gwe chimali. Mumubhaye Nyamuanga.
Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as people-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.
23 Chona chona chinu omukola, nimukolega okusoka mu mitima jemwe kuti ku Latabhugenyi na atali ku bhana-munu.
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for people,
24 Mumenyele ati muliyela omuyelo gwo omugabho okusoka ku Latabhugenyi. Ni Kristo Latabhugenyi unu omukolela.
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
25 Kunsonga yona yona unu kakola ganu gatali go bhulengelesi alilamila indamu ku bhikolwa bhinu bhitali bhyo bhulengelesi ganu akolele, na italio solole.
But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
