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 ye then be risen with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
2 Saino ny zavatra any ambony, fa tsy ny zavatra etỳ an-tany.
Fix your minds on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 Fa efa maty ianareo, ary ny fiainanareo miara-miafina amin’ i Kristy ao amin’ Andriamanitra.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 Raha hiseho Kristy fiainantsika, dia hiara-miseho aminy koa amin’ ny voninahitra ianareo.
When Christ shall appear, who is our life, then shall you also with him be manifested 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;
Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry:
6 fa izany zavatra izany no mahatonga ny fahatezeran’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny zanaky ny tsi-fanarahana;
for which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience;
7 izany koa no nalehanareo fahiny, fony mbola velona taminy ianareo.
in which ye also walked formerly when ye lived among them:
8 Fa ankehitriny, esory koa izao rehetra izao, dia fahatezerana, fiafonafonana, lolompo, fitenenan-dratsy, teny mahamenatra avy amin’ ny vavanareo.
but now ye have put away all these things, anger, asperity, malice, scandal, obscenity, out of your mouth.
9 Aza mifandainga ianareo, fa efa narianareo ny toetra taloha mbamin’ ny asany;
Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his practices;
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 is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him that 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.
Where there is no difference whether a man be Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian or Scythian, slave or freeman: 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.
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering;
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 freely forgiving one another, if any man hath a complaint against another: even as Christ hath freely forgiven you, so also do ye.
14 Ary aoka ho ambonin’ izany rehetra izany ny fitiavana, fa fehin’ ny fahatanterahana izany.
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
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 God set up its throne in your hearts, whereunto also ye have been called in one body; and be ye 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 Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing with grace in your heart unto the Lord.
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 that ye do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Hianareo vehivavy, maneke ny vadinareo araka izay mety hatao ao amin’ ny Tompo.
Wives be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord.
19 Hianareo lehilahy, tiava ny vadinareo, ary aza sosotra aminy.
Husbands, love your wives, and use no asperity against them.
20 Hianareo zanaka, maneke ny ray aman-dreninareo amin’ ny zavatra rehetra; fa ankasitrahana ao amin’ ny Tompo izany.
Children, be obedient to your parents in all things; for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
21 Hianareo ray, aza mampahasosotra ny zanakareo, fandrao mamoy fo izy.
Parents, irritate not your children, lest their spirit 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, obey in all things your masters after the flesh, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but, in simplicity of heart, fearing God.
23 ary na inona na inona no ataonareo, dia ataovy amin’ ny fo, tahaka ny ho an’ ny Tompo, fa tsy ho an’ olona,
And in every thing that ye do, labour from the soul, as for the Lord, and not man;
24 satria fantatrareo fa ny Tompo no handraisanareo ny lova ho valiny; fa manompo an’ i Kristy Tompo ianareo.
knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye are servants to the Lord Christ.
25 Fa izay manao ny tsy marina dia handray araka ny tsy marina nataony; fa tsy misy fizahan-tavan’ olona,
But he that is guilty of injustice shall receive punishment for the wrong he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
