Kolosiana 3
1 Koa raha niara-natsangana tamin’ i Kristy ianareo, dia katsaho ny zavatra any ambony, any amin’ ny itoeran’ i Kristy, Izay mipetraka eo an-tanana ankavanan’ Andriamanitra.
If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
2 Saino ny zavatra any ambony, fa tsy ny zavatra etỳ an-tany.
Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.
3 Fa efa maty ianareo, ary ny fiainanareo miara-miafina amin’ i Kristy ao amin’ Andriamanitra.
For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.
4 Raha hiseho Kristy fiainantsika, dia hiara-miseho aminy koa amin’ ny voninahitra ianareo.
At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.
5 Koa vonoy ny momba ny tenanareo izay etỳ an-tany, dia fijangajangana, fahalotoana, firehetam-po, fanirian-dratsy ary fieremana, dia fanompoan-tsampy izany;
Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;
6 fa izany zavatra izany no mahatonga ny fahatezeran’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny zanaky ny tsi-fanarahana;
Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;
7 izany koa no nalehanareo fahiny, fony mbola velona taminy ianareo.
Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.
8 Fa ankehitriny, esory koa izao rehetra izao, dia fahatezerana, fiafonafonana, lolompo, fitenenan-dratsy, teny mahamenatra avy amin’ ny vavanareo.
But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk;
9 Aza mifandainga ianareo, fa efa narianareo ny toetra taloha mbamin’ ny asany;
Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,
10 ary efa notafinareo ny toetra vaovao, izay havaozina ho amin’ ny fahalalana tsara araka ny endrik’ izay nahary azy.
And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;
11 Fa amin’ izany dia tsy misy jentilisa sy Jiosy, na voafora sy tsy voafora, na barbariana sy Skytiana, na andevo sy tsy andevo, fa Kristy no zavatra rehetra sady amin’ ny rehetra.
Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.
12 Koa mitafia famindram-po sy fiantrana, fahamoram-panahy, fanetren-tena, fahalemem-panahy, fandeferana, araka ny olom-boafidin’ Andriamanitra sady masìna no malala.
As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;
13 Mifandefera, ka mifamelà heloka ianareo, raha misy manana alahelo amin’ ny sasany; tahaka ny namelan’ ny Tompo ny helokareo no aoka mba hamelanareo heloka kosa.
Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:
14 Ary aoka ho ambonin’ izany rehetra izany ny fitiavana, fa fehin’ ny fahatanterahana izany.
And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.
15 Ary aoka hanapaka ao am-ponareo ny fiadanan’ i Kristy, fa ho amin’ izany no niantsoana anareo ho tena iray; ary aoka ho feno fisaorana ianareo.
And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.
16 Aoka ny tenin’ i Kristy hitoetra betsaka ao aminareo amin’ ny fahendrena rehetra, dia mifampianara ka mifananara amin’ ny salamo sy ny fihirana ary ny tonon-kiram-panahy, mihira amin’ ny fahasoavana ao am-ponareo ho an’ Andriamanitra.
Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.
17 Ary na inona na inona no ataonareo, na amin’ ny teny, na amin’ ny asa, dia ataovy amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Tompo izany, ka misaora Andriamanitra Ray amin’ ny alalany.
And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.
18 Hianareo vehivavy, maneke ny vadinareo araka izay mety hatao ao amin’ ny Tompo.
Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.
19 Hianareo lehilahy, tiava ny vadinareo, ary aza sosotra aminy.
Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Hianareo zanaka, maneke ny ray aman-dreninareo amin’ ny zavatra rehetra; fa ankasitrahana ao amin’ ny Tompo izany.
Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
21 Hianareo ray, aza mampahasosotra ny zanakareo, fandrao mamoy fo izy.
Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.
22 Hianareo mpanompo, maneke ny tomponareo araka ny nofo amin’ ny zavatra rehetra, tsy amin’ ny fanompoana eo imaso, tahaka ny mpila sitraka amin’ olona, fa amin’ ny fahatsoram-po, matahotra ny Tompo;
Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:
23 ary na inona na inona no ataonareo, dia ataovy amin’ ny fo, tahaka ny ho an’ ny Tompo, fa tsy ho an’ olona,
Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;
24 satria fantatrareo fa ny Tompo no handraisanareo ny lova ho valiny; fa manompo an’ i Kristy Tompo ianareo.
Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.
25 Fa izay manao ny tsy marina dia handray araka ny tsy marina nataony; fa tsy misy fizahan-tavan’ olona,
For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.
