Kolosiana 3
1 Aa kanao nindre nitroatse amy Norizañey nahareo, imaneo pay o raha amboneo, amy iambesara’ i Norizañey am-pitàn-kavanan’ Añaharey.
If however you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, enthroned at God's right hand.
2 Tsakoreo o raha an-dikerañeo, fa tsy o an-tane atoio.
Give your minds to the things that are above, not to the things that are on the earth.
3 Nivilasy nahareoo, le fa nahaja amy Norizañey aman’ Añahare ao ty fiai’ areo,
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 Naho miboake i Norizañey, ie havelo’o, le hiboake mindre ama’e an’engeñe ka nahareo.
When Christ appears--He is our true Life--then you also will appear with Him in glory.
5 Vonò arè o fangen-kaondati’ ty tane toy ama’oo; ze hakarapiloañe, fandratoañe, filomolorañe, fitsikirihan-draty, vaho fihàñañe—ie fiatoañe am-pahasive;
Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations--fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.
6 irezay ty hifetsaha’ ty fifombon’ Añahare amo anam-panjeharañeo.
It is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming,
7 Ie nañaveloa’areo te mbe niveloñe ama’e,
and you also were once addicted to them, while you were living under their power.
8 fe apitsoho añe henaneo, fonga tsy aboak’ am-palie’ areo ty heloke, ty fifombo, ty inje, ty teratera, naho ty reha-timbo.
But now you must rid yourselves of every kind of sin--angry and passionate outbreaks, ill-will, evil speaking, foul-mouthed abuse--so that these may never soil your lips.
9 Ko mifandañitse, fa naitoa’ areo i haondaty hambo’ey rekets’ o sata’eo,
Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings,
10 le fa natseta’ areo t’indaty vao, ze mihavao erike am-paharendrehañe mihafonitse, mihahambam-bintañe amy Namboats’ azey.
and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it.
11 Tsy te Grika ndra Jiosy, sinavatse ndra tsy sinavatse, ambahiny ndra sadiavahe, ondevo ndra midada, fe halifora’e i Norizañey, ie ama’e iaby.
In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is everything and is in all of us.
12 Aa kanao jinobon’ Añahare nahareo, miavake naho kokoañe, sikino ty arofo miferenaiñe, matarike, mirèke, trentrañe, naho mahaliñe,
Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
13 mifampivavea naho mifampihevea, ie eo ty aman-kabò ama’ ia’ia, le mifampihevea hambañe amy nañahà’ i Talè anahareoy.
bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive.
14 Lombolombo’ irezay ty fikokoañe, ie mamahotse am-pitraofan-kina fonitse.
And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union;
15 Ehe ho fehè’ ty fañanintsi’ i Norizañey o arofo’ areoo fa izay ty nikanjiañe anahareo ho fañòva raike: vaho mañandriaña.
and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful.
16 O tsara’ i Norizañeio abey ty himoneñe ama’ areo ao ami’ty halifora’e; mifañòha naho mifanoroa añ’ampon-kihitse; misaboa sabo, naho beko naho takasy miavake, mañandriañ’ an’ Andrianañahare añ’arofo.
Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God.
17 Aa le ndra inoñ’inoñe anoe’ areo, ke an-tsaontsy he sata, le ami’ty tahina’ i Talè Iesoà, vaho mañandriañ’ an’ Andrianañahare Rae añama’e.
And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.
18 Ry roakembao, miandalia amo vali’ areoo, ami’ty eva’e amy Talè.
Married women, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Ry lahilahio, kokò o vali’ areoo fa tsy itorifihañe.
Married men, be affectionate to your wives, and do not treat them harshly.
20 Ry ajajao, mivohora aman-droae amy ze he’e, fa izay ty no’ i Talè.
Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians.
21 Ry aba, ko mañìnje anake, hera hahamòhake aze.
Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose.
22 Ry mpitoroñeo, mivohora amy ze he’e amo tompo’ areo amo haondati’eo, tsy t’ie misamba hipaia’o tsiriry, fa an-tso-tro mañeveñe amy Talè,
Slaves, be obedient in everything to your earthly masters; not in acts of eye service, as aiming only to please men, but with simplicity of purpose, because you fear the Lord.
23 aa ndra inoñe o tolon-draha’oo, ihembaño, hoe mpitoro’ i Talè fa tsy ondaty,
Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men.
24 le fohino t’ie ho tambeze’ i Talè amy lovay, amy te Iesoà Talè ro toroñe’ areo.
For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are.
25 Ho valeañe ty amo sata-rati’eo ka o lo-tserekeo fa tsy irihiañe.
The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions.
