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 therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:
2 Saino ny zavatra any ambony, fa tsy ny zavatra etỳ an-tany.
have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;
3 Fa efa maty ianareo, ary ny fiainanareo miara-miafina amin’ i Kristy ao amin’ Andriamanitra.
for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.
4 Raha hiseho Kristy fiainantsika, dia hiara-miseho aminy koa amin’ ny voninahitra ianareo.
When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall ye also be manifested 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;
Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.
6 fa izany zavatra izany no mahatonga ny fahatezeran’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny zanaky ny tsi-fanarahana;
On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
7 izany koa no nalehanareo fahiny, fony mbola velona taminy ianareo.
In which ye also once walked when ye lived in these things.
8 Fa ankehitriny, esory koa izao rehetra izao, dia fahatezerana, fiafonafonana, lolompo, fitenenan-dratsy, teny mahamenatra avy amin’ ny vavanareo.
But now, put off, ye also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.
9 Aza mifandainga ianareo, fa efa narianareo ny toetra taloha mbamin’ ny asany;
Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,
10 ary efa notafinareo ny toetra vaovao, izay havaozina ho amin’ ny fahalalana tsara araka ny endrik’ izay nahary azy.
and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him;
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.
wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, 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.
Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
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.
forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] ye.
14 Ary aoka ho ambonin’ izany rehetra izany ny fitiavana, fa fehin’ ny fahatanterahana izany.
And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
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 preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.
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 the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
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 everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.
18 Hianareo vehivavy, maneke ny vadinareo araka izay mety hatao ao amin’ ny Tompo.
Wives, be subject to [your] husbands, as is fitting in [the] Lord.
19 Hianareo lehilahy, tiava ny vadinareo, ary aza sosotra aminy.
Husbands, love 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, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord.
21 Hianareo ray, aza mampahasosotra ny zanakareo, fandrao mamoy fo izy.
Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.
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;
Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of 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,
Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] 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.
knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 Fa izay manao ny tsy marina dia handray araka ny tsy marina nataony; fa tsy misy fizahan-tavan’ olona,
For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
